Addie - 13 weeks

My favorite outfit, NOTHING!

Addie's new favorite chair. We are borrowing this chair from Ben, and Addie loves it! Mom and dad love it too! This is how we actually get dinner made and on the table each night.

Addie - almost 13 weeks

Her belly is one of the only parts that doesn't submerge in the water! :)

Bath time is one of her favorite activities. She just doesn't like the "getting out" part. Once she's wrapped up nice and warm, life seems to be perfect again.

We found out she fits perfectly in our bathroom sink!

Hanging out with daddy!

Addie - Almost 3 months old

Addie had a really BIG weekend. She slept through the night both Friday (1-8:30am) and Saturday (10pm-6:30am) night. We are so proud and excited for her (and mom and dad are pretty pumped for their sleeps). :)

Christmas 2008

Our friends Jenn and Brandon came for a visit with their two little boys, Caleb and Daniel.

I'm a pirate! Is that my belly sticking out? We had a little too much fun with Sue's scarf.

On the way back home, we got stuck in the Seattle airport for about 6 hours. Lots of Burger King!

Christmas 2008

Addie got to meet her 4th great grandpa parent, Papa JJ. Joanne and he came up for a visit while we were in Summerland.

Lots of Canucks games were watched while we were visiting.

A family friend had a little girl one day after Addie (Catie was born on October 24th). Sue bought the two girls matching Christmas outfits. We preceded to play dress up and take pictures for about 10 minutes. They were such perfect models. They just sat on the couch, both awake, leaning on each other while we snapped the pics.

Our little Russian child!

Addie's first plane ride up to Canada

Addie did amazing on the trip up to Summerland (even though we had some pretty tough delays). We are really blessed that we even made it up there. Our last flight, on a small plane to Kelowna, B.C., the flight attendants announced that our pilot only had two minutes before he would be instructed to get off the plane. Something about clock hours and how long you've been flying. Anywho, they quickly shut the door (after lots of coaxing by the passengers) and off we went. :)

In my sleep, I pretty much let anyone do anything! :) Thanks Uncle Mark.

Addie's 1st Christmas in Minnesota

Addie had a pre-Christmas celebration in Minnesota once at my parents house and then that same evening at my aunt's house. She was pretty excited about the whole event. She got lots of books, clothes, and even her highchair from Great Grandma and Grandpa.

Best Christmas Sweater Party

Our friends Liz and Steve Smith hosted a Christmas Sweater Party this past Saturday. Above is a picture of the three winners. Lights, tassels, embroidery, and sequins were a must. Chris (on left) is actually wearing his grandmothers sweater. Thanks Liz and Steve for such a great party. You were amazing hosts!

Here's a recent pic of Adelyn. Ashley and David got this adorable outfit for her, and it will soon be a capri outfit. She is growing like a WEED. I had to put away a lot of her 0-3 month clothes. We are on to 3-6 month, and she's only 2 months old. She definitely does NOT get her height from her mum. Love you all and 9 more sleeps until Addie gets to see Canada. :)

Best Christmas Sweater Party - #2

Adelyn - 7 weeks

Our little angel is developing some serious cheeks!

I know she doesn't really play, but I let her look at her toys at least twice a day. She LOVES it! She just coos and talks away. Below is a pic of Addie in her snugli. As she gets older, Stef and I have come to realize that we have to cart her around the house with us in order to get things done.

Adelyn - 6 weeks old

Addie is now 6 weeks old and starting to smile and coo. So much fun! Her favorite time to talk is while getting a fresh diaper!

Addie really likes "playing" with her jungle mat (her pants are a tish big). She does a little tummy time every day on it, but really enjoys laying on her back and looking at the animals. Norm enjoys sitting right next to her too! He especially likes the giraffe.

We watched the Canuck vs. Wild game Friday night at my brother's condo. Go Canucks!!
