Bath Sponge Pad

I had to get a new bath sling because the one I had slid around the tub. Since he can roll both ways now it just was not working. I found this bath sponge and really liked it...to begin with, but I am now not too happy with it. Gurrr. I was more of a reclining seat...reclining since he cannot sit up yet. I am still on the hunt!

Sliding

Playing ball with Alley.

So proud.

It's Okay Bro-der

He was being kind of fussy and she cannot stand it. She tries to comfort him when possible.

She knows I cover him with this blanket before we walk outside to block the sun. It is amazing all the little things she notices.

Just For Poppa

Saturday Morning Cartoons

On the weekends, occasionally we watch cartoons in bed with Addison and she LOVES this and thinks it is the most fun thing ever! Since Paul made Chief he was MIA during our cartoon fest, but I took a few cute pics. Look at them holding hands. They are just growing up way too fast.

Early Birthday Present

I think it is safe to say she loves her birthday present from us, what do you think?!?! Yes, we gave it to her about a week early. Since Paul is SUPER busy these days with induction, I was afraid that I was going to have to put this together myself. Thankfully it came one evening he was home and he put it together. He told me he would make sure he got it together and he did. He is so wonderful. :) Back to Addison...she says "BOUNCEY! BOUNCEY!" This will great when we are stuck indoors this winter.

Bright Eyed

Addison loves to 'read' to her brother.

The community bath! Addison loves for us to take a bath with her. Paul will, with his shorts on, and this time we threw Mason in also. As you can see Addison cracks him up! Love that smile!

Custom Birthday M&M's

"Look Mommy, I did it!"

She loves to lay next to him.

My sleeping prince.

Oh no, she saw her birthday M&M's on the counter. Yes, that is right I ordered her custom M&M's for her birthday party! They say "Happy bday Addison", "Addison turns 2", and "Party in my tummy" from the Gabba show. Pics coming soon of the party!

MGM in Big Bathtub for First Time

August 8, Mason took his first bath in the big bathtub. He has gotten too long for the baby tub. If he did not stretch out his legs he would fit fine, but he of course stretches and kicks his legs and then his head falls off the newborn sling. The only reason I took Addison out of this tub is because she started sitting up and she started messing with the faucet. As you can tell, he enjoyed it! I LOVE my son!

Sweetness

August 8

She looks so big to me here.

He holds his paci all the time now.

We hardly ever eat out, but this morning we had breakfast out at Cracker Barrel. Addison loves the puzzle.

My boy was quiet the whole time and slept. He is so incredible!

New Outfits

Look at her little fingers!

My beautiful girl! MUAH!

Thanks Cindy for little man's outfit! LOVE it! And YES, I cannot believe it fits him...people it is 9 months! I kid you not! The sleeves are a little long, but the torso and legs fit fine. He has some room to grow in it, but it fits! Craziness.

As for my little girl, Cindy had to also snatch this one from me as well. She spoils my babie for sure. However, I am in love with this outfit sp be prepared to see it on her a lot. I gotta find some leggins to go underneath it for the fall though. It is a size 2T and Cindy stitched up the skirt...which I need to put a few more in it to tighten it up a bit more. The shirt fits great though. Mason may outgrow Addison before too long!

Amazing how different they both are already! One thing remains the same, I LOVE them both with ALL my heart!

Paul's Dress Whites

LOVE LOVE LOVE these two! My hubs is so handsome!

I do believe now that he is a Chief he will have all new uniforms even these whites.....if that is so, this was his last time wearing these. Oh, yeah, since I am SO far behind I will go ahead and tell you my bloggees, yes he did make CHIEF!!! WOOHOO baby! I am sooo proud of him. I think it was Aug 10 he found out. Trust me, there will be lots more of those kinds of pics taken at his Pinning Ceremony on September 16! I can't wait to see him in his khaki's!
