I'm a big girl now!

Addison rolled over today!!!! 16 weeks today and rolling over! I just don't think she should be that big yet! I missed it... I was putting a load of laundry in and heard her complaining- I went to her thinking she was getting sleepy and ready for a nap and she had rolled herself over and was too close to the wall and not happy about it. I was so upset last night when Nathan told me (while Jackson & I were at the gym) that she had almost rolled over and I was about to miss it- and then I did miss it and I was right there! I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to see it! And then there is my little nut of a boy. He is too smart for me. Today on the way home I rolled the windows up and he said "no mommy, roll the windows down we need some fresh air in here". He definitely is starting to get his own mind about things and the way he wants them done. I guess this is part of the terrible 2's. It hasn't been too terrible yet so I guess its time... He can just be too sweet and has me wrapped tight...

Sleeping Beauty

It is 9:06am on Monday morning. We put Addison to bed at 8pm Sunday eve. She is STILL sleeping!!! I keep going in there because I'm scared that she has somehow suffocated herself or something. I just can't believe it! We have finally reached the ALL night sleeping. It happened earlier w/ Jackson but for some reason I didn't think we'd ever get to that point w/ Addison. Last night was BLISS and I woke up feeling so great. We had a great weekend. Our friend Dave came into town and we enjoyed his company-Jackson especially- and had a laid back weekend. Nathan & the guys in the family cooked, served and cleaned up a massive brunch for us mother's. And it was a great day of pampering myself- including a little shopping w/ my mom and sister. A black lab puppy arrived on our doorstep this morning and Jackson & I have had a fun time watching and playing w/ him. He loves the little pool and has been jumping in it and racing around the yard. Jake is not so fond of someone else getting our attention but isn't running him off either. 9:13am... better go check on Addison again...

Zoo Day!

We already ventured to the zoo this year and had a fabulous time. I was a little worried about Addison being able to sleep but she did great. Daddy would carrier her in the infant carrier and she also slept in the stroller. Jackson had a blast see all the animals- he is the perfect age right now. Everyone (Figueiredo's,
Robb, Joan, my mom, Deidre and Will all came with us). The weather was a perfect 72 degrees.
As you can see, Addison has some oh so squeezable cheeks! She is so sweet- smiles ALL the time. I will wake her up from a deep sleep and she will just smile at me! She is also becoming quite loud! She loves the sound of her voice and loves to share it with whoever will listen.
Life is getting into a great routine and life w/ two gets easier by the day.
Yesterday I was getting ready for the gym and had a fairly tight tank on... trying to decide if I should change into a t-shirt so I asked him and he said "tshirt, mommy- that's too tight". Never ask that boy anything you don't want an honest answer to! Life father, like son...
