Addyson at six months

Is
26 inches tall
15 pounds 9 ounces
17.25 inches around her head

At this age Drake was
26.5 inches tall
16 pounds exactly and
17.25 inches around his head

So like most girls she is smaller then her brother
but it looks like they are both big headed LOL, and close to the same...





I tried to catch her jabbering in this video, but I couldn't really get her to talk.  She is super talkative, really jiberjabbering, wont be long until she is full on talking.  She is always cooing

She rolls front to back, she is across a room from scooting on her belly and rolling in no time.  She will sit up by herself, for a few minutes.  If she is sitting up she likes to dive forward, so she can be on her belly to try and crawl.

She loves to put everything in her mouth, she loves her brother, he can really make her giggle.  I hope to someday get that on video.

She also loves her feet, they are in her mouth a lot. :D

She has her two bottom teeth, not sure I got a picture of both of them, and I think she will be getting her top teeth here soon, but I don't really know that.  

Such a happy and fun baby.  She has started not LOVING hair bows, so I hope that I can keep getting her to wear them, so ppl know she is all girl :D

No more Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

We moved A LOT of our stuff into a storage unit in Terreton on Saturday.  This is so when we actually figure out if someone is moving in our house, or if we find a place that it wont be a rush or so stressful.  While we were packing, we decided to move our bed into the living room, this is so we can watch TV, and have something to sit on when we watch TV.  We moved our couches out and had nothing to sit on.  So our bedroom is now the living room :D.  When we were packing Drake got up on our bed and was jumping on it, causing him to fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall.  I guess we hadn't moved it very tight up against the wall.  Anyway, he has a good bump on his head.  The Dr. said he may have a small permanent bump from the blood that clotted, and a scar :(.  We may have a horned kid, but that's okay because Mormans have horns right??? I am not sure where that myth came from, LOL.

He got his back really good, I think on the metal frame.  This was the only way he would let us take a picture, if we held him upside down against his will, LOL

Limbo

Kade started his new job this week, on Tuesday.  So many little changes have occurred in a little amount of time.  I don't feel like a lot has gone on, but I feel busy.

Last Saturday, we had Brad, Nikki, and Kade's parents help us pack things up.  We are still living in Idaho Falls, but we decided since we will eventually move to get some stuff taken care of.  We moved things that are in storage and things we don't use a lot out to a storage unit in Terreton.   We have so much STUFF, it was a full day, and we still have a lot of stuff left at home.

I have been very disappointed so far with the Terreton area when it comes to housing.  There is basically nothing out here that I would want to buy.  Everything is trailers and out of date homes.  The houses that are for sell are very old, run down, and they want a lot of money for them.

Right now we are just sitting ducks.  I am trying not to get annoyed by the LACK of planning that is going on.  I know that it is in God's hands, I am not going to worry about things, they will work out.  Eventually we will find a place to land, until then I will try and be patient.

Good fact of the situation is that Kade is really enjoying his job.  He loves how the country feels, after all he grew up here.  He has missed the slower paced, friendly neighbor feel.  I will eventually have to get use to it, but for now I am still an Idaho Falls resident and okay with that. :D

Drake at 18 Months

 My little boy is growing so fast.  He is so hard to take pictures of anymore, simply because he hates looking at the camera.  But he is super cute!  He has a total of 9 teeth 6 in the front and 3 molars.  He loves anything that is bad for you, like fried food and sugar.  He is so good at making his sister laugh, they just giggle together.  I love to try and take pictures of him, occasionally I get a few good ones.   Love you Drake.

He is going to beat you up!

mom, I'm too old for this

HE LOVES OUTSIDE

looking out the window and dreaming of going outside

He likes to take off his cloths and diaper...too smart

sometimes he will actually smile at you, cheesy

he steals his sisters binky, only to steal it

Really?  U are taking MORE pictures?

Dressed to go outside.

Not sure why he was sucking his thumb.

RUNNING WILD

yay, for playing outside

At his Dr. Appointment he was 21 pounds 8 ounces, 31.5 inches long and 21 inches around his noggin.  He is still little for his age, but he has been hungry a lot and his teeth have stopped coming in, so maybe we can get some more meat on those bones.  

I can't believe how big he is getting.  Love you Mr. Drake

A New Temporary Camera

Our replacement camera is not exactly the camera of my dreams.  It works and does an okay job.  I got it on clearance at wal-mart for 35 bucks, you can't beat the price.  But blue isn't my favorite color :( It has 10 pixels (yay) and a mirror on the front to help me take pictures of myself (YES) so for now I am happy.  Someday I will get a very nice camera, and I hope it  doesn't end up in the water like the last (shaking my head) kids.

I am not sure if it is good or bad that it is TINY.  It is the smallest camera I have ever held...it is a easyshare mini after all.  But it is small so I am afraid I will lose it or something dumb.
