Addie's starting to smile!

Well we have reached the 2 month mark. Addie is up to 12.5 lbs (80%) and 23.25 inches long (88%). She still looks pretty skinny and long, much like her dad. She has started to coo a little bit here and there and she has even managed a few smiles (unrelated to gas of course). She is not a fan of tummy time, well sort of...she usually just falls asleep. Doesn't really put a lot of effort into pushing her head up. She also is following us with her eyes and has had her first accident with her brother. Basically he sat on her and she was pissed off. Can you blame her...he's up to 32 lbs!

"I'm not amused, mom" "okay, maybe a little bit"

This is what expression you get when you tell your child to "say cheese".

Scrap the crap weekend

Addie's favorite spot- Grandma's lap I think the scrapping really did her in

I held the first annual Scrap your crap weekend at our house. My aunt Mary, mom and my friend Robin all came to the scrap-a-thon. Addie was a hit and enjoyed being held, photographed and sung to. My mom enjoyed multiple wardrobe changes and I enjoyed the restful sleep. Yes, you read that right...restful sleep. Under the careful watch of the night owl aunt Mary, Addison had her first sleep through the night. She conked out at 8 and didn't get up until 530 (in which she was woken up because Mary was paranoid something was wrong) and to top it off, she slept the next night from 1030 until 630. Yeah, that has now all passed and she is back to her sporadic awakenings. It was good while it lasted!

Unusually warm November

Addie ventured out for her first family hike on November 10 to Brule National hiking trail. Scott had Ethan in the big pack and I had Addie in the front pack. Addie slept the entire way and Ethan talked the entire way. What more could you ask for?

Per special request...

I've had some requests to post "The captain and his hooker" who were the grand prize contest winners at our Halloween bash. I didn't orginally post them because I thought the hooker would have a few choice words for me if I did...oh well. PS, don't ask me who that miscellaneous woman is between them?

Can someone please let Addison know this is not a very lady like pose?

Ethan's first Halloween Carnival

Trick or Treat

Happy 30th to the lunch lady and her pimp

Well the spooks and ooks were out in full force this Halloween. Scott and I were thrown a Halloween super party to celebrate our 30 years of living. A few of our special guests included Aunt Jemima's white cousin, Captain Morgan and his hooker, H1N1 patients, Gypsy granny, Redneck Andrew, Dracula, Wally the Beer man, the grinch, Bob Marley, Jared Allen and a real legit sh*thead. Costume winner was Captain Morgan and his hooker. We also had some eerie treats such as ogre's ears, the bloody brain and "the hand". The winner that took the food prize was "Granny's crap attack" which was a giant vat of sloppy joe's encircled by a toilet seat (don't worry it was new so I'm told) complete with smeared joe on the seat, toilet paper and by the end of the night a little hair was added to the seat as well...yummy! We had a great time and Aunt Jemima didn't let us down with the super 3 tiered halloween mountain birthday cake. I thought it was some preverted thing with all the cones and pointy objects everywhere but don't worry the pimp knew it was a beautiful mountain scape. After the party a few die hards headed down to the White Front where pimp man really got going and let's just say Ricky Ricardo came out for the grand finale!
