Addison's new dress

My mom made Addison a new dress. Here are some pictures of her first time to wear it. This was after church and she was ready for a nap.

Isn't she cute?

No more pictures please...I just want to take a nap!

Almost Better


We went to the Dr. on Monday because both Glade and Addison were sick. They have grown so much! Glade weighs 20 lbs. 8 oz. and Addison weighs 19 lbs. 5 oz. They are not always that accurate on the measurements because Glade and Addison are usually squirming. This time they measured Glade at 28 inches and Addison at 27 inches. It sure seems like Glade is more than one inch taller than Addison. I will have to check that myself.



Glade is feeling much better and Addison is on her way to recovery. Poor thing she had a stomach bug and then she got the crud that Glade had. Her last dose of medicine is tomorrow and I can already tell she is much better. She is sleeping in her bed tonight for one! Last night she felt so bad we couldn't lay her down. She wouldn't even settle down for Daddy. She only wanted her mommy. While I am flattered, I sure would have liked to sleep better last night. At one point in the night she was grabbing my face. I would move and then she would get a handful of hair. OUCH!



Glade is going everywhere. He knows no fear! He does get mad when he can't get something he wants or we take something away. Addison is now waving Dye Dye dydydydydy (Bye Bye). She even has her own way of saying it! It's so cute. They both have really been laughing at each other.



Tonight, I was holding them both after their bottle. Addison had her head on my shoulder and Glade was sitting on my leg. Glade really likes to suck his thumb and hold onto something~a blanket or burp rag~ when he is going to sleep. Well, tonight his thing of choice...the ruffles on Addison's PJ's :) I even gave him a blanket, but he kept going for the ruffles on her bottom. I sure wish I could have gotten a picture. Then they switched, Glade was laying his head on my shoulder and Addison decided to give him a nice big snotty kiss! Glade laughed. It is was such a sweet moment.



I won't keep you waiting any longer...here are some recent pictures.

YUCK!

Addison has a stomach bug. We have both had 3 changes of clothes today. Addison got a bath and while playing with all the fun toys in the tub...she pooped! So now, the bathtub and the toys will get a chlorox bath too. Maybe I will take a chlorox bath while I am at it.
She has been pretty fussy since Thurday night, so I guess her tummy wasn't feeling good then. She wasn't sick yesterday, but this morning she had thrown up in her bed. She threw up her morning bottle and her lunch. I haven't had lunch yet and really don't feel like eating right now! Hopefully it is just a 24 hour bug that will bypass the rest of the family. Cross your fingers for us.
It is so nice to have the Glade and Addison back home with us. Both of them seemed to have grown so much and they both came back with bellies! I think it is all the sweets Pappy fed them.

Here are a few pictures since they have been home.


Addison learned how to pull up while at Grammy and Pappy's house
Glade loves the BIG football
Aren't these the cutest things you've ever seen. Look at the rolls on their legs!

I miss my babies

My parents took Glade and Addison to their house so that Tim and I can get the projects finished in our house. We have been redecorating our bathroom and added some cabinets to our kitchen. I textured the walls in our bathroom and then painted them. I also painted the cabinets in our bathroom as well. My arms are SORE!
I have been so busy that not having the babies hasn't been too hard, until today! Going to church without them made me sad. I kept thinking that something was missing...I didn't have bags to carry or a baby in my arms!
I talk to my parents about 3 times a day. Glade and Addison are doing great. They are being fed whatever they want! I know that on the way to my parents house they got to try donut holes and french fries! I will have to put them on a diet when they get home!:)
Here are some recent pictures I wanted to share, but have been so busy I just didn't get them up.
Glade is fascinated with this table.
He finally got up in it. He's so happy about it.

Now he's mad because his mean old mommy made him get down:)

Addison likes to sit and take toys out of the box one at time.

Here she is surrounded by toys she has already played with.

Squishing a strawberry...I don't think she likes it. Look at that face.
Glade got a little taste-of course he will eat anything.
Addison is learning to take her clothes off. She has been trying to get her arm out of a lot of her clothes. We will have to get that under control soon!
TOUCHDOWN!

Where did those puppies go?
Glade is into everything
He's been trying to reach that clock for a while.
Addison is starting to move around more. She got herself stuck in the exersaucer.
He's started early working out.
Have a great week!

No!

We are starting to use this word all the time! Glade is doing so good pulling up, I have no doubt he will be walking soon. He pulls up on everything! Today I went to get them up from their nap and Glade was playing with the thing to open the blinds! He has been trying very hard to reach a clock we have in the window sill, but he's not quite tall enough. Glade and Addison have really been communicating with each other too. I can hear them in their room when they wake up jabbering at each other. Addison has become quite the giggle box! I put them both in Glade's bed yesterday while I put their clothes away. She would reach out to touch him and just giggle. He touched her and she giggled! He pushed her down~now that caused a big belly laugh! Of course when I went to get the video camera they both stopped and got fussy.
Today, they watched Veggie Tales while I got a shower. It's the first time I think they really payed attention to it. Glade really enjoyed it. Addison was too busy chewing on the toys on her exersaucer. Oh~ she is getting a tooth on top now! I felt it last night. When the video was over I got them both out and Addison crawled up under the exersaucer...and got stuck! She couldn't get out. Glade and Addison both loved playing with them. They have been put up for a few weeks. They played peekaboo with each other.
Glade has found a table in our house that he just loves to go and get things from. He thinks it's funny when we go to get him! He also loves the laptop. If he was up right now he would be trying to help me type...banging his hand on the keys! He laughs as he does it.
I think it's time we get the "pen" out. (Baby fence) It won't be long before Addison is on the move just like Glade. She scoots now, but is not as quick as Glade. Last night I turned the bath on for them and Glade crawled into to the bathroom. A little bit later, Addison rounded the corner too! She was chasing Glade...but he's too fast for her right now. They both squeal and laugh.
I can't believe how fast they are growing and changing. So many times I just want it to slow down. I'm excited to see what they will do next, but sad to know that my babies won't be babies much longer.
