Not so sure about sleep! :-)

Addie in the early morning!

Tummy time!

Chill'in on the couch.....I love to sit now!

Watching mommy make dinner!

Playtime with Wally, and my new rings!

So, our little monkey turned 4 months and decided to throw us for a loop!! After sleeping so great for the last couple of months and only nursing one time at night.....now we are not so sure about this schedule! The last week or so has been vastly different each night........either sleeping 8-9 consecutive hours with no nursing....or a night like last where I'm up every 2 1/2 hours with her......hmmmm??? Growth spurt?? Learning a new skill?? Everyone always has a theory when it comes to babies! Addie also seems to have a sixth sense for the nights that mommy has to work the next day...these usually seem to be the worst! :-) Maybe my punishment for leaving her! haha.

I can't complain though.....even in the wee hours of the morning, that precious little smile and babble perks me right up!

Addison is a talker!!! She is full of constant conversation, even in the middle of the night....in fact, she generally doesn't cry to get us up, but rather talk!! Hysterical! I can already see the cell phone bills someday!! :-)

We are still growing like a weed....... I went through her closet yesterday and took out the 6 month clothes in preparation......some already fit! The too small clothes made their way to the storage unit in a large rubbermaid....wow, those precious little t's and pj's....it's hard to believe she was in them just a few months ago! Hopefully someday we'll get to share them with a little sister.

DON'T trial cloth diapers.....!!!! I know some people swear by them....and ofcourse I love the idea of a natural diaper (we ordered ours from peapods)....however, ours finally fit this week and what a mess!!! Addison leaked through every single one, even with the waterproof liner. After 24 hours of 6 different outfits and 2 baths I decided to abandon the natural diaper.....back to Pampers! Perhaps in the future we will revisit au naturale with a different kind! Suggestions are welcomed!

Sitting is our current love!! We aren't quite doing it on our own, but with just a little hip support, Addison LOVEs to play in this position! We also have been sitting her against a pillow on the couch and letting her observe the world! She seems to practice mini sit ups pulling her middle away from the support...so cute! Sometimes I'll let her fall to her side and make her way to her belly and back for practice.....working on those transitions.....she loves it!!! She's a mover!

We are also getting really close to rolling from our back to our belly...perhaps Annie will be able to capture this footage as well! :-)

I am loving my time with her on Mondays/Tuesdays and Wednesdays......it's so wonderful to watch her grow and change! We play most of the day.....then she enjoys her exploration in the Baby Bjorn while I get some things done around the house, and takes a nap in the stroller while I run on the treadmill! With the cold winter weather it has been tough to get her much outside time; although yesterday it peaked at 25 degrees so we hit the sidewalks for a nice snowy walk with Wally.....we all loved it!!

Daddy is also having fun with his weekend days with Addison.....it's always entertaining to see which athletic team shirt he dressed her in for the day and hear about his adventures with his "little woman" as he calls her! Adorable!

Tonight we are meeting up with mommy's friend Kim and her daughter, Nora (9 months)....someday we hope for them to be pals!! This weekend our friends Ashley and Geoff are visiting from Chicago....so looking forward to Addison meeting them too!

Enjoy the pictures from the last week!!
