So we have had some relatively huge developments over the past month. But before we get to that, HAPPY STAR WARS DAY! May the 4th be with you… always.
TEETH:
She is just now getting her 4th tooth. And let me tell you everything strange that you ever hear about teething is true. It changes the way they act, look, crap… it is crazy. CrazyAwesome that is.
HIGH FIVE:
Yup, she high fives now. nbd.
She even high fives the window :)
HAIR!:
It is finally coming in!!!!
SOME OTHER THINGS:
she…
- waves hi
- sits unassisted for quite a few minutes
- sits in high chairs at restaurants now
- doesn’t like: broccoli, avocado, tomatoes, watermelon, lemons(sort of).
- likes: Gulden’s Brown Mustard, pickles, black olives, buffalo sauce, baby cereal w/ cinnamon, lemons(sort of).
- looking for things when they fall
- had her worst sick day yet. 100% Zombie Mode. Fever went up to 102.8.
- purposefully turned a switch so that her chair would make noise. I feel like this was really advanced. Maybe I will try to get a video of it up later.
- rolls onto side to sleep, and even napped on stomach for the first and only time so far… which means…
- ROLLS FROM BACK TO BELLY!!!!! She did it for the first time right in front of us while kate and I were working out. Kate excitedly yell/whispered (you know that thing you do as a parent to get the other parents attention but also trying not to distract the baby from what they are doing yell?) for me to look. I turned my head as she rolled over so that she could reach a toy better. Now she does it constantly. She rolls around the whole room. She likes to roll in one direction until she gets to a wall and then she just chills with the wall for a while. It is awesome. This was a big one, and I have never felt more proud than I did in that moment. Right after it happened, my mind shot forward 16 years to the moment in time when she passes her drivers test…. will that feel like this did? Will I still want to clap and shout an excited high pitched ridiculous sounding “YAAAAAAAAAAAY!” ? I guess we will just have to see.
Today I am gonna let the pictures do the talking. Also I have been keeping up with my face photo every day project… in case you were curious. Here are some awesome ones.
fEaster. err I mean first Easter.
sick teething baby.
sick teething baby zombie.
sick teething baby zombie watching the bruins lose…
sick teething baby zombie waves "bye!"
Ok, ok, the pictures and a few captions!
Oh and this was post 100 since the new website. nbd.
A small taste of what the last 6 months have been like for us. Prepare yourself…
So yeah, these first 6 months have been amazing. Every now and then it all hits me square in the forehead: wow, this is actually my kid… we made her. It kind of blows my mind. You spend most of your life wondering what it is going to be like with a kid, and what that kid is going to be like. And when it finally happened, for me, it feels so normal. The funny thing is, now I look back and wonder what it was like when I didn’t have a kid… it was only 6 months ago! But bring it on! I am ready for the next 6 months and more!
March Firsts:
- can roll over consistently and purposefully for the first time! Still only from belly to back.
- celebrated your first St. Patrick’s Day!
- still obsessed with your feet and nails.
- you might recognize your name, or it is just in our heads.
- laughed at your cat milani and reached out to pet her.
- said and still say DADA!
- making all kinds of new, strange and awesome noises.

Addison flew to cali. She can flap her arms way faster than that plane there.
the girls in cali.
All of us got some new Toms. Except Addison… she's still holding a grudge.
We tested out our Toms.
"I can take a photo with no handle bars… no handle bars… no handle bars."
she slays you.
This might be the last of these collages. This project is getting an upgrade! Get excited!
Addison has been shooting under par these days, and by that I mean she has been even more awesome than ever before! She is rolling over like a pro now thanks to her cousin Owen, smiling with her tongue sticking out, sticking her tongue out even when she isn’t smiling, refusing to laugh by holding her breath to stop herself, and in almost all other ways being dominantly cute and amazing. Another recent discovery of hers is her finger nails. She scratches them on everything. Any new texture she finds she tests out her nails on them to see how it feels. It is the adorablest thing in history! Yes, ADORABLEST!
As far as the legit list of firsts goes…
February Firsts:
- picked up pacifier from her lap and successfully put into mouth.
- slept over with Grammie and Gump!
- showered.
- ate from The Source in public.
- flew. (…to california… oh and she did amazing! nbd.)
- discovered nails. scratches on everything.
Yes you heard right. We flew to California with a 5 month old. It went very well. She slept all the way out there. Since our flight attendant was born awesome, she gave us an extra seat for Addison. So that helped a lot!
Addison. Loved. California.
We had an amazing time hanging out with our best friend Blair and her family. It was the perfectly short/awesome vacation! But like everything good in life, our trip came to came to an end. We boarded a Red Eye bound for home and crossed our fingers. This time we had no extra seat, so I came up with the brilliant plan to have her sleep on the tray table. It worked AMAZINGLY! I just forgot to consider one small thing, if our baby is sleeping soundly on the tray table, guess who gets to stay awake for 5 hours and make sure she stays on the tray table… ME :) So, other than the fact that my sleep consisted of slipping between half dream and half awake brain functionality, it actually went fantastic! Not to mention that for the flight back we were on Jet Blue. Which if no one has told you (no one told me) is by far the BEST airline in the business! Reasons they were awesome: Most Leg Room Ever; No stupid obnoxious beverage carts, the flight attendants waited on everyone individually; free snacks… I never see that anymore!; coffee, orange juice, hot towel, and water in the morning; yes a Hot Towel!; no I was not in first class. they rule the school.
So that about covers month 5. Stay tuned for month 6!
