A first for Addison

Addison did the Downward facing dog today (1/11/12)  for the first time! And she beat Jackson too it!! Now she just can't stop doing it (sorry baby girl for having your brother's jammies on you).

Wow the teeth!

January 6th, Jackson's 3rd tooth is coming in today. I looked in the morning and there was nothing there. Right before dinner I heard him grinding his teeth. Obviously if he is grinding them there HAD to be a top tooth; felt again and low and behold his top right (looking at him) tooth had broken through the gum.

Still no teeth for Addison yet!!

a first

For the first time since coming off oxygen and becoming more "independent", Addison fell asleep in my arms today. She slept for about 1 1/2 hrs. Then she even continued to sit with me another 45 minutes! I know that is normal for a lot of moms and babies, but since coming home on oxygen, she just has not been a cuddler. It made my heart swell! I didn't want to put her down, but had to so I could eat dinner. I hope this trend continues. Course when Jackson woke up he looked upset by it since he has been my cuddler.

Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Not only was it Jackson's and Addison's first Christmas, but my parents flew out to spend it with us. I loved having them here for the week. They unfortunately had to fly home New Years Eve. While they were here we spent time with the babies at home, went to a cabin for a day and half (big sissy went fishing), and just enjoyed each others company.

Jackson and Addison were both very interested in opening presents already (9 months actual 6 months adjusted!). it is so cute!!!

Jackson started trying to get up on his hands and knees on December 30th! Addison tries but doesn't quite get them under her yet!

They both continually try to say new letter sounds. They are sitting up so well (even though they can't get to the sitting position by themselves yet). Addison will pull herself to a standing position if you hold your arms steady and hold her hands. Jackson loves to stand! You can let go for a second or two and he will stand there.
