Addie's First Article in The Sun

I thought I'd add this article for those of you who haven't seen it. It seems like so long ago..

In the Newspaper....

This is an ad that came out in today's paper for Addie. I think it is SO CUTE! This salon is holding a Cut-a-Thon for Addie next weekend. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! Thank you so much for all you do! We love you....

Addie's First Surgery

This is a video of Addie's first time here at St. Joes. I can't believe how much she's grown since then. For all of you who thought I was crazy when I said she looked GREAT after this surgery, some of these pictures will show you what I mean!

Lots of Pictures

Hopefully these pictures will give you an idea of how well Addie is doing. She looks great and is smiling quite a bit. These pictures were taken yesterday... her first day at 5 kg!





Addie smiling at Mommy. Can't get enough of that!


With her being hooked up to less and less everyday, it is so much easier to hold her. Sometimes it's hard to put her down!



These pictures I took today. She was ALL SMILES! I couldn't pick out just a few, so I posted many. I just thought she had the cutest expressions. She discovered her tongue today and kept sticking it out at me....

Snuggling with her bunny...



"Is my tongue still there?"






Finally taking a break!

Drew at the Children's Museum

In our "move" to Phoenix, we got a membership to this great children's museum here. We've taken Drew there a couple times and it is a great place... He has a BLAST!!! They have a room just for children under 3, so there is a ton to do!

Anyway, here are a few pictures of our first trip there....





Addison Looking Great!!!

Pictures from Monday! She was bright eyed and looked GREAT!!!





I even caught one of her laughing...



Sleeping (Again)...

What a day....

Here's daddy holding Addison for the first time since surgery...



Addie getting suctioned. She grabbed the suction and held it in her mouth and sucked on it! Maybe she's starting to get some teeth?!?!



Sleeping the day away...





Finally Sleeping

Just like her brother, she has some goofy ways of sleeping in her bed!



Looking comfy after a long day...

An Outing with Drew

Eating at Lonestar....



Here I told Drew he could choose ONE toy! As you can see, he had a hard time deciding which to choose....




....He did end up with two of the 6 he once had in his hand! I know, I'm a pushover but look at that face....
