Guilty....

So, I KNOW! I haven't been good at keeping up. I do have a great excuse! I have actually been picking up about 10 more hours at work! My Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I leave at 8 and get home at 8...and my time is spent at home snuggling my girls because I miss them so much. I can't wait until things slow down and I get to see them more. Do you think it's crazy I have considered going back to school? Yes, I am crazy!
I recently picked up a new boot camp in Omaha, which is great right? Well, the club recently asked me to train there too, so I have been busier than I have even planned for. Poor Adam has had to get supper ready and get the girls ready for bed. I never thought I'd get home later than Adam?! He's been great through all of this....although every night he tells me he misses having me at home more:(
This weekend we are heading to a pumpkin patch and taking it easy, so we will have more to post, but here are the latest updates:

Adam: He is in Endocrine this month...which is basically blood sugars and illness with your endocrine system. It has been a relaxing rotation for him since he is preparing for his step 3 boards. He just finished up an inservice exam (8 hour test) and a huge presentation. I am anxiously awaiting his boards so he can breathe easier and feel lighter! He will be applying for fellowships shortly....we are planning on trying to stay in the midwest, but only time will tell. I just hope it is somewhere for a long period of time so we can finally purchase our own home!

Addison: Addy is doing great! She loves having Nina come watch her. They usually will do one craft per day and keep a busy schedule. Her latest move is doing her own "boot camp" with Nina. She will count for her while they do some Addy exercises and counts like mommy does. You should see her when she gets my stopwatch around her neck! She's tough! She's growing like crazy and we are amazed daily at the things she will say and how great her memory is! She knows the majority of letters in the alphabet, all her colors, counting to 20, etc. Nina's been great with keeping Addy on track with learning too!

Aubrey: I can't believe my baby is 5 months old in a couple days! Where does the time go? I miss having a newborn around, but love Aubrey's personality. She is always smiling, laughing and squealing! She rolls all over the place and will soon figure out how to scoot. She gets rocking pretty good.....she LOVES to eat solids (cereal and bananas). But will still feed like a maniac too:) She LOVES Addy....she will find her the second Addy enters the room...and will just sit there and smile at her.

Keep posted for pics of our weekend...Have a healthy weekend:)

Aubrey's Baptism

We had a great time heading up north for Aubrey's baptism. I have to tell you, everyone showed up! It made for a big party at the end....which we love. Thanks to mom and dad for hosting and serving. The food was delicious.

We started with 8:15 AM mass at St. Mary's in Armstrong. It was a bit early for Addy whom seems to think she can stay up super late at G'ma's and party. We got her up and ready and to the church on time. Little Aubrey usually doesn't make a peep! She is so quite it is scary somtimes; but of course at mass she was very vocal! Sorry Armstrong! Then, Addy slipped on the kneeling thingies (sorry not sure what they are called) and bumped her head. It was an interesting service but we made it.

We headed up to the church for her baptism around 1:00pm. I like the private ceremony that we've done in the past with Addy. My family has sooo many kids and I want them all to be a part of the baptism, so this allowed for them all to watch and learn. She was baptized and then we headed to Jeff and Mary's for a wonderful dinner and cake! Thanks to all who made the trip. You all had a part in making Aubrey's baptism very special and we cannot thank you enough!

4 Months Already?

Being our wittle peanut is 4 months, we got the green light to try cereal with her. She isn't truly bonkers about it yet, but is starting to figure it out. Addy gets a kick out of it though. Aubs has started watching our food move to our mouth, so we thought we would give it a try. She is catching on slowly...you can tell she is trying to figure out how her tounge works:)

Her 4 month statistics are great! She weighed in at 12 lbs 3 oz. which puts her about the 30th percentile and her height was 23 and 3/4 inches which put her about the 25th percentile. She is a peanut! She has been sleeping consistently through the night now for a while (good girl Aubs!). I usually put her down between 8-8:30 pm and she wakes between 7-7:30 am. She is great at rolling from belly to back, and almost has the back to tummy roll down. She is great at holding her head! What a tough baby girl! I have been working a TON lately (understatement) and feel like she changes while I am gone! It is soooo sad how quickly the grow! I miss the "newborn-ness" but am loving how expressive and giggly she is!

BUMBO!

Aubrey has wanted nothing to do with lying down anymore. If we are holding her, she is always wanting to sit up and will almost pull herself up already. So, we decided to go out to Target and pick up a Bumbo that we hear so much. She absolutely loves it! (Except immediately after she eats....) This girl can sit in her bumbo while Addy entertains her and she would be completely comfortable doing this for hours. What a great invention!

Grandma and Grandpa B visit!

It was a short visit, but they got lots of squeezes in! We, of course, made a trip to the red store after I got back from boot camp/training, and played a little Skip Bo.....a very enjoyable Sunday. Thanks grandma and grandpa....oh, and grandpa's cookie made Addy feel better after she fell and hurt her nose:)

The Exersaucer

Yep, she's already old enough to use her exersaucer. Mommy is sad she is growing so fast, but excited she has something else to do now!

Addy's Tumbling Class

Friday we started tumbling class. I have to say I was excited to say the least. And I was even more thrilled that Addy had such a great time and is excited to go back. I can't believe she can walk across the beam! She listened for a bit, but then her age started showing.
I think Addy's favorite part of the class was getting her hands stamped at the end for being a good listener. She didn't even want to wash her hands the rest of the day for fear that they would wash off. I am a little nervous...she was one of the tallest ones in there. I am excited to see how she progresses in 7 weeks:)
