cousins

These pics are from my sister's wedding reception. The cousins (Kilee, Creighton, & Ellie) played really well together. It was hard to get all 3 looking at the camera at the same time though!



Adelle 3 months

-Addie weighed 14 pounds 13 ounces on our home scale


-She is finding her hands more often, loves looking at those flailing things and finds them very tasty
-She is a big drooler
-Her sleeping often seems to all over the place. The other night I was up with her 4 times during the night. This morning she woke up at 1:30, then 4:30 and again at 5:45. It was at that time that I ignored her, went to the other room and turned on the box fan to drown out her crying. I'm such a meanie. But the good news is, when I was still awake an hour later she wasn't crying anymore and slept until 8am! (I find that even though I can't hear her, knowing that she's crying still causes me anxiety, thus I was still awake, oh well. We'll get her trained better in the not so distant future)


-Addie LOVES to sit up. She'd sit right up from a laying position if she had the muscles and body control.

-Addie has the Lemmon bowels. She's a pooper!
-She eats about 4 ounces of formula every 2-3 hours during the day. She's often a grazer though like her sister was: 2 ounces here, 2 ounces there.
-Ellie has finally mastered Addie's name. It's pretty confusing when you have an aunt named Abby and a sister named Addie! Not to mention a "daddy!"
-The two girls seem to like eachother. Addie likes watching Ellie and Ellie likes giving her kisses occasionally. Sometimes Ellie does get annoyed when Addie's legs will be in her way of mom's lap though


-She has one dimple on the right cheek
-She is getting too long for her 3 month clothes, but I'm not getting out the next size until we move. Hang in there a little longer Addie.
We love this little girl!

Addie 2months (December 22, 2011)

Those were a very quick 2 months
-Addie decided she didn't like the pacifier after all, much to my dismay. I still try though.
-Addie will sometimes sleep 4-6 hours the first part of the night and then 3 hours at a time the rest of the night. However, she's usually up for about an hour around 5:30am, which gives me just enough time to get her back to sleep right as Ellie is waking up! Oh the irony.


-She weighed 12 pounds 1 oz, measured 23 3/4 inches. Almost 2 feet and almost doubled in weight! She's very healthy and the PA was amazed at just how strong she is.
-She will often have her eyes crossed



-Addie can often be found smiling, which usually involves her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
-She met her Nana and Papa Lemmon during Christmas
-She started "talking" and we've realized we have another very loud child
-She takes great power naps. She will usually have 2 or 3 in the morning (about 20-30 min each) and then takes a longer nap (2-3 hours) in the afternoon.
-She likes motion. To put her to sleep the swing works great and so does rocking her in the carseat.
-She sleeps in her carseat at night because her nostrils have very small openings and she gets congested easily so we found that keeping her more upright while sleeping helped her sleep longer.


We sure love our little Addie! We love having her in our family

Nana and Papa visit!!





Addie's blessing

Since Nate's parents were only going to be in town for Christmas Sunday we were able to have Addie blessed on that day. It was a special way to help celebrate Christmas.



Christmas and such
