Welcome Baby Tiernan Elizabeth B!!

Here is a picture of my new "niece" Tierney. Isn't she a doll?!?!?! She was such a good baby when I went to see her. Congrats again to Mary, Jay & Reagan! Welcome to the world Tierney!!

Trip to Illinois, I have a new "niece" & some Landgren News

First off - we had an AWESOME visit to Illinois. It was great to see everyone and I have some great pictures to share. Congrats to Drew & Tania on their wedding! It was a great day and we are very happy for the both of them.

Once I get caught up with everything I missed at work I will post some pictures. Addison had a great time and did really well on the plane.

Congrats to Mary & Jay on the birth of their daughter Tiernan "Tierney" Elizabeth. Born October 24 - 7.5lbs, 19 3/4" long and cute as a button!! I got to see her Monday night and she is so precious!! She is a really good baby, and I know Reagan (big sister) is just going to adore her! I have pictures of Tierney too - I will post them soon!

Last (but not least) Erik and I are excited to announce that we are expecting another little one in late April 2009! :) So far I have been feeling really good, and I am glad to report that baby looks to be healthy as well. We find out in late November if we are having a boy of girl (My gut tells me this little one is a GIRL!) and I will share the news then.

Addison is officially moved into her "big girl" room and has adjusted really well. She is still in a crib, but we got her one that will convert to a toddler bed when she is ready. Addy is growing up so fast and has become so much fun! Her vocabulary improves so much everyday, and even though she STILL doesn't have any teeth - you would be amazed at how fast my kid can scarf down food :)

Pictures to come soon!! Hope this finds you all well!

Go Bears

Aunt Jessica bought Addison this cheerleading outfit, and brought it with her from Illinois this past weekend. Thanks Jess!! If Erik gets his way - she will be wearing it every Sunday :)

WOOHOO My kid has teeth!!!

I just downloaded some pictures over the last couple weeks and thought I would post them on here. Since I last posted Addison went to the pediatric dentist on the advice of our pediatrician. She still doesn't have any teeth and is turning 15 months on Thursday. I am happy to report that my little lady has a mouth full of teeth!! They did an x-ray when the dentist couldn't see any signs of teeth. They are all in there - but the dentist said Addy will be closer to 18 months before she really starts teething. We were also told to expect her to get a bunch of teeth at one time. I am just so thankful and happy that my kid has teeth! I guess I am lucky I have had 15 months full of toothless smiles when some people only get a few months. She also said Addison will be about a year behind most kids when they start losing their teeth.. she will have hers for a bit longer. Here are some random pictures over the past 2 weeks.

Sporting her new Raccoon hat for the winter.

Here is her first attempt at coloring. She would rather just put the crayons into her mouth

Showing her Daddy her artwork.

Playing w/ her babies. This is her FAVORITE thing to do. She will put her babies in the highchair or stroller and feed them.. then push them around the house.

We are going to Rockford, IL to see family and attend Drew Whitfield's wedding in a couple weeks. I will have some great pictures from that.

Have a great week!

Mini Photoshoot in the Backyard

Here are some pictures taken of Addison last Friday in my backyard. THANK THE DEAR LORD for my fabulous neighbor who is a professional photographer who came over and took these. I cannot get Addison to stay in one spot, none the less look at me when I try to take a picture of her. Andrea - thanks so much!

Update on Addison: She is 14 months, no teeth, walks all over the place, loves her dolls & their highchair & tends to be a little trouble maker(I say this in a loving way :) ). Anything she is not supposed to touch or go near she tends to want to do it. She is one persistent little lady! Enjoy the pictures!

Pictures from when Aunt Jessica & Uncle Mike Came to visit

A WORD sandwich
Like Aunt - Like Niece ;)

Laughing at Daddy & Uncle Mike.

Keeping an eye on Grandma Maggie...

Here is Addison trying to steal some cheese off what Papa D & Grandma Maggie brought to the dinner party.

It was an awesome visit - and we miss Jess & Mike very much!! Hopefully we will see them soon. (PS Thanks to Jessica for sending the pictures!)

Good Morning Sunshine...

Here is Addison this morning eating some fruit cheerios before daycare :) Hope everyone has a great day!
