A few more things.....
I realized today as Addison sat on the floor clapping as Collin and I sang a song, that I had forgot to mention this new skill she has discovered. In the past two weeks she has started to wave "bye, bye" and loves to clap anytime she hears anything that sounds remotely like music.

Family Pictures
Here is just one of the many family pictures we got taken two weeks ago. I will post more soon.
I love you Mommy
These past few weeks, Collin has definately found himself in a point in his life he is just not always sure how to handle. Bascially he has hit the "terrible two's". He is once again having a tough time with sharing his mommy and daddy with his little sister, testing the limits with behaviors he sees at school when at home, pushing his mommy and daddy to see if he can always get his way and sooo much more. But despite these challenges of trying to be the most patient mommy ever during this time, days like yesterday make it all SO worth it. One of Collin's favorite things to do is to snuggle in our bed with me. The other morning at 5:45am when I really should have been getting ready for work, especially because in order to get myself and the kids ready and out the door by 6:45 there is very little "extra" time. But, Collin looks at me and he says, "Moomy, lay with me please". So I go lay with him for just a minute or two knowing that I really didn't have much time. As I was laying there he leans over, gives me a kiss and says, "I love you Mommy". Know that was one great way to start my day:)
Addison's 9 month update
I am making a pack that I am going to do a much better job keeping this updated. Lately between Addison and Collin they are both doing little things that I am continually telling myself I need to write down. So, here is my first attempt to get better.
To start things off Addison had her 9 month check up last week. Here are her stats.
Height: 27 inches
Weight: 19 1/2 pounds
She was 60% for both height and weight and was in the 95th percentile for her head. I don't feel like her head is all that big, but guess she will grow into it soon. She checked out great. Keeping an eye on her left thumb/hand since she is not all that great at the pincher method yet and often times forgets that it can open and close, but we are working on that.
What she is doing:
Rolling over: It finally happened at 7 months, she realized if she just tried she could roll from one side to another.
Sleeping: She sleeps through the night, wakes up at 6 to nurse then back to sleep. She sleeps on her stomach at school and on her back at home. Not the best napper...but we are working on it!
Food: For the past two months she was not into anything unless it was completely pureed. She was going as far as gagging herself, throwing everything up, if she didn't dig the texture! However, just these past two days she has started eating pears, sweet potatoes, pees, banana just right off her tray:) So I think we may be out of that phase. She is still nursing except just this week we have started to suppliment with some formula because I am just not sure I am giving her enough!
Talking: She is CONSTANTLY making noise. Whether she is saying da da da da da, ma ma ma ma, ba ba ba, or even just gruting, blowing raspberries, you name it. She is always talking or making a noise to get your attention. I think she has learned she has to do something to get the attention away from her crazy brother!
Moving: In the past week she has learned that life would be much better if she could move. She is trying so hard to pull herself up. Loves to stand at things, and is spinning around on her tummy, rocks back and forth on her knees, and pushes herself backwards. She will be SO much happier when she can keep up with her moving brother!
It is so hard to believe that she is already 9 months old. She is the sweetest, most layed back little girl. She loves to snuggle and ALWAYS has a smile on her face. She thinks her brother is the best thing in the world and thinks just about anything he does is funny.
