Adda's Newborn Pictures




















Happy one month birthday to Adda!

Our little Addalynne turned one month old this week. I can't believe that a whole month has passed already! She is an angel and we are so grateful to have her. Here are some of our favorite things about our little peanut...
Mommy and Daddy love...
1. Middle of the night mommy-daughter time while feeding Adda. I love looking at her bright eyes in the middle of the night staring up at me.
2. Watching her wake up. She stretches and makes faces for a good 30 minutes sometimes before ever opening her eyes.
3. Cuddling. Adda is our little cuddle bug and we LOVE having her tiny body right up next to ours. We especially like when she sticks her bum up in the air and pulls her little legs in real close.
4. Her smiles. I know that people say she can't really smile yet, but even if they are "gas smiles" they make us smile.
5. Playing with her tiny fingers and toes while she eats.
6. Daddy-Adda time. Jer usually burps her after I feed her and then she'll fall asleep on his chest.
7. Wrapping her up in her towel after her bath. She isn't the biggest fan of the bath, but she sure calms down quickly when she's wrapped up in her towel and held close.
8. Her floppy head. She's getting pretty good at holding her head up, but she's still got some work to do and sometimes her little head just flops over.
9. Her itty-bitty little body. She is just so tiny and I love it! She especially looks tiny in her carseat or stroller and it is too cute!
10. The jokes she plays on us. She likes to pee on us while we change her diaper and poop 2 seconds after we change her diaper.
11. Playing "patty-cake" with her. She always starts to cry when Daddy plays "patty-cake" with her.
12. She has her daddy wrapped around her finger. He is a sucker and always picks her up when she's crying and let's her sleep on his chest instead of on her bed.
13. Talking for her. We like to imagine what she would say if she could talk and then say it for her. She usually has a bit of sass when her mom talks for her.
14. Her hugs. She wraps her little arms around us and holds onto our shirts while looking up at us with her beautiful bright eyes.
15. Adda. Everything about her.

Cabin Fever

My family went up to our cabin the weekend before we headed out to North Dakota. We weren't sure if we would be able to go up with them because Adda was so young still, and we had so much to do to get ready to leave for a month. I'm so glad we decided to go up despite how busy we were though. It's alway fun to spend time at the cabin with family. We enjoyed playing ping-pong (or watching Cody play), eating yummy food, doing a craft, building a fire, and my personal favorite, roasting marshmallows! We didn't stay over night, but we sure had a good day up there. We look forward to going again when Kimber gets home!
Adda getting some Grandpa time

This was taken right before Adda decided it would be way fun to pee on Grandpa

Ry likes to pretend that she's shy and doesn't know you when you first see her

But eventually she warms up:) Jer had to bribe her for this hug though haha

If Jer gets a hug then Uncle Cody does too right?

Ry likes to see Adda's tiny little toes

PING PONG! Cody is practically professional

Jer and I are definitely not professional

The girls did a craft...

While the boys took a nap


I love to compare head sizes when Adda sleeps on our chests

Family pic:)

Watching Dad roast marshmallows was almost as fun as actually roasting the marshmallows

This was his greatest creation of the night...We bought the giant campfire marshmallows and Dad tried to stick a reeces peanut butter cup inside the partially roasted marshmallow and then roast it again. Needless to say it was entertaining although somewhat of a failure in the end

Jer likes to make banana boats and load them up with all the fixins

Mmmm!
