Tuesday, May 13







We had a great weekend in Lubbock, TX. Russell, the one shooting for favorite uncle status, graduated from Texas Tech Law, and we wouldn't have missed it. We had a few big-ticket items happen over the weekend. Addison broke through the 13 lbs mark. It seems that waking up twice a night to feed her is paying off. Hopefully it won't be too long before we don't have to do that any longer. Believe it or not, Addison is actually a great sleeper. The past few days, she has been waking up around 6:30 in the morning, just talking away, ready to make things happen for the day. Not cool. We try to tell her that she really wants to sleep later, but she doesn't listen.

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Addison's test results came back normal for her thyroid. Next Monday, we go to the cardioligist to check the lump of muscle on her heart. Maybe it won't be much of a lump any longer. They told us that it will likely stretch out as her heart grows larger, so we are going to check to see if that's happening.

Along with a number of other new sounds in her vocabulary, her new favorite thing to do is put her tongue in between her lips and blow air. If the person sitting next to you isn't paying attention, they might think you have a little gas. She also likes to roll over from her back to her tummy on occassion. We discovered that this past weekend. She certainly loves being around her family, even if she doesn't remember who they are right away.

Addison turned 5 months old today. We took some pictures, and thought you would like to see. enjoy!

My, my, my what a beautiful smile you have Miss A. And I see that you have learned so many lessons:

not to worry about your dieting (you are looking very healthy)

always take your picture next to someone big and hairy because you'll look expecially wonderful in comparison

show a little skin, but not too much

always show off your new clothes and don't ever be afraid to sport a boa, particularly pink

However, as you get older you may want to re-think the feet in your face action

You are so sweet and I am so mad we didn't get to see you, your mom, your dad, your uncle, etc. in Lubbock, but the pictures are the next best thing!

We love you.

Janet, Greg and Jordan

In the new picture with Addison next to the bear, it looks like she's trying to make a "Sic' em Bears!" Way to go, Addison! Way to go :)
