The Sweetest Sound

is Addison laughing!


Addison is rolling both ways now! She has been rolling from tummy-to-back for a couple of months, but just this week started rolling back-to-tummy! I haven't got it on video just yet!

My first day no longer employed by Chase

Now I am employed by Addison Claire Curran. When I woke this morning I just laid there thinking about not working at Chase anymore. For 7 years Chase has been my second home & I've met some of my best friends there. Not working at Chase will be a huge adjustment for me, but I know that Addison will make this transition easy for me. I am very excited about the future and this next phase of my life. All that matters now is that I give my family 110% of my best!

Addison can't stand her new vitamins:

I know, I know - I'm a blog slacker!

This morning we went to Vicksburg. Addy was such a good baby all the way there & all the way home. BTW - why is every gas station in Monroe out of GAS?? We finally found one, but this is crazy! Here are a couple of pics from the trip:



This evening we had one last gathering before Blake & I move to Texas. It was a good time with good friends & good food. I am going to miss everyone like crazy, but from the looks of it, we will be back home a lot during hurricane season anyway :) Thanks to all of you that made it! Here are a couple of pics:

This card from Shari made me cry as soon as I took it out of the envelope!

Addy's 1st trip to Olive Garden

Yesterday we went to OG for Shari's birthday celebration dinner. Addy had a great time (for the most part). Shari bought the onesie that Addy is wearing last year before we even knew she was a GIRL! Notice - Emily has a matching t-shirt :)

Here are a few pics:



Blake has started teaching Addy how to play XBOX:

Oops, she did it AGAIN!

It was almost like she peed poop. I read that runny poop could be a side effect of the vaccinations...

4 month shots

Addison was a little trooper today when she got her shots! It was her lucky day - instead of 3 shots she only got 2! The nurse said the new combination just started today! When she got stuck with the first needle she just made a grunt noise - then the second one she let out a pretty good scream, but it only lasted a second! Now little princess is sleeping. Let's just pray she doesn't have any negative reactions to the vaccinations! I will be watching her like a hawk for the next 24 hours.

*Warning - Gross Poopy Pics* & 4 month check-up info

Addison had her 4 month check-up this morning! Here are her stats: weight 14lbs, length 24 1/2in, head 16 1/4. She remains in the 50th percentile on all growth charts. Dr. Khanfar said that she is perfect & doing well. WOOHOO!!! He gave me the green light to go ahead & start cereal (rice or oatmeal) & solids. But left the decision up to me. Most babies start solids between 4-6 months and Dr. Khanfar is fine with whatever we decide. The schedule he suggests is 4 months - cereal, 5 months - veggies, 6 months - fruits/juice. Absolutely no peanut butter, strawberries, oranges, eggs or cow's milk until 1 year. I believe we are going to hold off until 6 months for cereal & solids.

I put Addy in her bouncer this morning while I was getting ready. She has started to try & wiggle out of it so now she has to be strapped in the seat. While I was doing my hair I heard her tooting LOUDLY! So, I looked over at her & told her 'Sounds like someone needs a diaper change'. She just smiled & cooed. I go over & unstrap her from the bouncer & this is what I found:

Of course, wipes wouldn't even come close to cleaning this blowout, so Addy got a bath this morning. I laid out newspaper & paper towels on the floor & put on my rubber gloves. This was SO GROSS!!! I was so worried about getting the poop on her face/head when taking the onesie off that I almost had myself convinced to just cut it off her! lol. But I didn't - I very carefully removed it. Here are some more pics of the blowout:

She thinks this is hilarious!


Blake just informed me that I don't fasten her diapers tight enough & this is why she had a blowout up the front of her stomach. I think that would have been a blowout regardless of how the diaper was fastened!

Wednesday we go for Addy's 4 month shots. I dread this without Blake being here with us.

After Addy's dr appt we met Memaw & Papaw Richard at Waffle House for breakfast.
