Christmas!

Well Christmas was a blurr. There were a couple of days in there where there was a ton of things going on. It started with the AHEC Christmas party. We went to the party and Addison chose to not be social. She has really started noticing strangers and she will really pucker her bottom lip anytime someone new talks to her. It was cute for a while but now I wish she would get over it. She screamed her head off when Santa (Dr. Stallings) held her at the party as you can see in the picture. The other picture from the party is Sara, Terri, and I and our babies. That same night we did our Christmas at home. That was fun and really nice. We had a great night with just the 3 of us. The next day (Christmas eve) was one thing to another. We started the morning off with my family and it was great. We opened our presents, played a couple of games, and ate way too much food. Then it was off to church. Addison did pretty well. She slept through most of it which was really a good thing. We then went to Brian's parents house. We again ate too much and opened presents with them. Addison really racked up at both places. She got lots of neat toys and some really cute outfits. She also took her picture with several of her cousins and granny and papa. Everyone was in their new pajamas. From there Brian had to leave that night to come home because he was on call Christmas Day. Addison, Penney, and I stayed in Pocahontas with my parents for 2 nights so that we didn't have to be alone on Christmas Day. All in all it was a great few days but it just went by too fast.

Tomorrow is New Years Eve. Brian and I are going to Memphis by ourselves. We are going to eat at the Melting Pot and who knows from there. I am really excited. Addison is going to stay with her Mimi then and again on Saturday. We are going to the Liberty Bowl to watch the Hogs on Saturday. That should be fun. We should get to see some of our Little Rock friends then. It will be nice to have 2 days out without the child and have some fun.

The update on Addison as far as our last Dr.'s appointment was good. She now weighs 12lbs. and 10ozs. She is in the lower 20th percentile on weight and growth. He said everything looked great. We are suppose to start trying to give her cereal now but just one time a day. I have tried once and she did not like it. She just kept spitting out everything I put in her mouth. I guess we will try again in another week. Anyway that is about it for us for now. At the rate I am going I will update this again in another few weeks. HA! Talk to you guys soon.
