It's Electrofying!

We already know Addison's baby hair stands up on end like a baby chick but now it's happening to the big kids too! Amelia and Luke were jumping on their blow up jumper and their hair started rising :)

Luke was playing outside with Stephen when he told Daddy, "Now that Addison came out, we have a fantastic family!" What a cutie he is.

Amelia continues to be the best helper with Addison and loves to hold her baby sister. She is very excited now that Addison has become more alert and will look at Amelia and make faces at her.

Addison is a little over a month old now and doing great. She kind of fights sleep during the day but she is a pretty good sleeper at night which makes for a happy mommy and daddy. She finally fits into 0-3 month clothes and has outgrown her "newborn" outfits; and she is getting her chubby cheeks :)

Puddles and Worms

While Max was visiting, we had a huge rainfall one morning. It was still in the 70's though and no thunder or lightening, so out we went for puddle jumping and worm hunting. Amelia and Max loved picking up the worms and seeing how long they were but Luke was a little more wary. Luke just liked to see the worms but he ran away when they picked them up.

Worm hunting.

Puddle jumping! Look at that air that Max got :) They were soaked to the bone after our walk but they had so much fun.

The rain did stop so we ate at Harbor Landing, a great restaurant on the beach and then played on the dock and the beach for the afternoon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

How do you know it's your third baby? I had a specific outfit that said Baby's First Valentine's Day on it and I completely forgot to put it on Addison. Oh well, I love this outfit so much and she was dressed in red so I hadn't completely lost my mind. Thanks Marian, doesn't it look so cute on her?

Cousin Max (and Aunt Traci and Uncle Kent) were here to visit us from Minnesota. Here they are showing off their Valentines.

Sunday Best

Living in the south necessitates long, smocked dresses and pretty hair bows. Two week old babies are not exempt from this rule. So here is our beautiful Addison Kate all dressed up for church. Thankfully she has some hair so I didn't have to scotch tape the bow to her head like my mom used to do to me.

Our three little angels.

Our Little Social Butterfly

Addison is not quite two weeks old but she has a pretty full social calendar already. She has been out to eat a few times, to church twice, two baby showers, tennis lessons and oh can't forget four hours of Mardi Gras parade fun! She is such a little trooper. I love this picture, it shows off her fuzzy Bosko hair, post bath. Love it, love it, love it.

I know she's my kid so I'm biased but seriously, so cute.

The kids getting geared up for the Ocean Springs Mardi Gras parade!

Even Addison didn't want to miss out on the fun, although she did sleep through the entire parade. I couldn't believe all the sirens, music and bands didn't wake her up.

The whole family ready for some beads and moon pies :)

Cozy Spot

Addison's first bath at home, she wasn't real thrilled with us. Although she did love having her hair washed.

This is Addison's favorite place to sleep, Amelia's beanbag. It is therefore, also mommy and daddy's favorite item in our house. Addison will sleep in this bean bag for four and five hour stretches (even throughout the night). That last part was whispered because I don't want to jinx ourselves. She looks so adorable all snuggled up in it, I just want to wake her up and tell her how cute she is. But, I'm not that stupid, I'll tell her later.
