2 Months

Addison went to her 2 month appt on Monday and is now 12 lbs 12 oz and 23 in long. Which puts her pretty much right on target with Cohen at that age, he was 12 lbs 13 oz and 25 in long. I do not make small babies folks. I did This post when Cohen was 2 months old and it sounds just like Addison. I have been blessed with 2 amazingly awesome babies that are very content and happy. I am by no means complaining but I think that Addison is narcoleptic! She eats in 10 minutes flat and then sleeps 3 1/2 hours until her next feeding. She seriously has never been awake for more than 2 hours straight. She only wakes up once per night, almost exactly at 4 am every time. I am LOVING having a cute little girl to dress and put headbands and bows on. Paul is a little worried for his bank account as Addison gets older because I tell him about all the adorable things I wanted to buy at the store for her. She's the doll I was never interested in having as a kid because I was too busy playing with nerf footballs and climbing trees but now Im all about the cutesy girly stuff. 


And here's a little preview of Cohen's Halloween getup

The mini man in my life

It feels like just a few months ago you were this small

But now you are my giant (almost) 2 year old and I can't believe how fast the time flew by and how much you seem to sponge up and learn every day!
-You are 21 months old over 3 feet tall and 34 pounds
- Sometimes I worry people think you are a dumb 3 year old because you are so dang ginormous. Nope folks, he's  not even 2 yet; just a future 6'4'' 245 lb NFL quarterback. 
- You really ARE super smart and already know your ABC's...at least to H :) the rest is a little jumbled, but they're all in there! 
- When I'm stressed out at the end of the day because you can be such a handful, you know how to melt my heart by saying "I yuh you, mama" 
- Half the time you say Sassy, instead of Sorry. Cracks me up everytime. 
- When you hit someone or something, you immediately follow it up by saying "Not nice". Well at least you know its not polite. 
- You adore your Daddy and cry just about every time he has to leave and all day long you will say "Daddy school" 
- When you run, your cheeks jiggle. Its awesome. 
- Your unexpected blue eyes are beautiful, and paired with your tow head; who wouldn't love you?
- You love to collect sticks, leebs (leaves), and rocks. You're definitely all boy!
- You still give open mouth kisses but we'll take 'em any way they come. 
- Addie doesn't so much appreciate the open mouth kisses but I love to see you be sweet to your little sister.
- She's not Addison or even Addie to you. Its always Addie Seoul or Addie Girl
- Every time she cries your head snaps over and you let me know "Addie Seoul crying"
- Your favorite toys are books...this future quarterback is going to Harvard folks. 
- You love to sing and know a few songs from the radio, but your current favorite tune is "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam". Mostly because you get to jump up and down while singing, "Jesus...sunBEAM!"
- Dad has made you think your name is either ManBear or Co Co Bean
- You're happy to hang out in your crib for over 1/2 an hour in the morning just shooting the breeze with you, yourself and Cohen. This too is totally awesome to your currently sleep deprived mama. 
- You learned how to open doors about 6 months ago, could turn on and off lights then too thanks to your height and figured out the so called "child locks" on our cabinets the day we moved into the new apartment. 
And I can't wait to get you out of bed every morning just to see what you'll learn, say and do because I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world because you and Addison are my world. This mama loves you to the moon the sky and the stars.

1 Month old!!

The last month of pregnancy feels like its 85 weeks but as soon as you have the baby the months just fly by! Its so not fair. She is an absolute angel, just like Cohen was until about 2 months ago :) She's already doing 6 1/2 hour stretches at night and pretty much just sleeps all day long too. She's just barely started to smile but I haven't been able to capture proof yet. I just love dressing her up and putting headbands and bows on her. A girl is so much more fun to shop for and dress! Our little Addie Seoul is now 5 1/2 weeks old but here are some pics I took for her 1 month mark.



Cohen does a lot of patting her head and kissing her toes. Pretty cute stuff. He calls her Addie Seoul and loves to run in and see her in the morning or whenever she makes squeaks and noises. He's going to be a good big brother....when he's not trying to smother her! :)

Help mom!
and of course Cohen had to get in on the action but wouldn't cooperate for a cute picture :) 

Cascade Springs

Cohen is craziness unless he gets out of the house at least once a day, so on Sunday we decided to take a drive up the Alpine Loop. We stopped at Cascade Springs and then drove through Heber and back through the Provo Canyon. Fall is in full swing here and it is absolutley gorgeous! Cohen loved running around and sticking his hands in the water. He tried to climb in a few times and got really close but we managed to keep him dry!





Just to prove Addison was there too!
