Addie and her first star...

Addison has not understood Christmas up until this point...and, now that she can, she LOVES every single thing about it! (She gets that from me, I think...Jae isn't really big into Christmas music...crazy man!)

This year...she was big enough to put the star on top of the tree...

Please excuse the bare bum...she had just gone potty and stripped her PJ's off...and then it was time for the star...

Our first day of gymnastics!

Well, Jae and I decided to enroll Addison in a gymnastics class. She just has SOOOO much energy, and not enough outlets to exert it all! So, this ended up being the perfect place! She is part of a Whiz Kids class for 2-3 year olds at a really great gym in town. It's like a giant cushioned play area. The class is once a week, for 45 minutes, and they keep them moving for every second of the time!

Addison was so excited to go, she wore her new purple leotard that she picked out each of the three nights leading up to her class! She was absolutely cracking us up! After a little bit of hesitation, Addison made her way into class. She wouldn't try doing her forward roll...but the teachers said to give it a week and she'll act like she owns the place. Dont' doubt that for one minute! So, here's the little wild child in action...

Oh, Mr. Bubble!

Okay, this stuff has been out since I was a kid...like 25 years ago. This has got to be the most popular bubble bath known to man! But, it does make for a good bath time...and an extended one, at that!

Addison has figured out that it is way more fun to take a bath in Mommy and Daddy's bath...we pour in a little bit of the magic pink bottle, and turn on the jets, and she goes CRAZY! She loves it. Absolutely loves it! Of course, after about 5 minutes of jets, the bath tub is overflowing with bubbles...and Addison is screaming "more bubbles...bubbles...bubbles!!!" It reminds me of the fish in the fishtank on Finding Nemo!

Beep-beep...Addie's got the keys to the Jeep!

Well, Gamma and Boss got Addison a pink and purple motorized Jeep for her birthday. Unfortunately for Addie, Mommy and Daddy decided to keep it in the box until we got to Alabama. So, after many promises...we put the Jeep together this past Sunday, and Addison had a HAY-DAY!!! I swear...she went crazy over this thing. That is, until we put the battery in it. Now, she's scared to do anything but sit in it. The second you mention pushing the (gas) "button", she hops out. We're hoping the neighbors will bring their 3 year old daugther, Ava, over...and she can help with a little convincing! We'll see...

For all you belly watchers (TEAL!!!!! This is for you!)

Alright...it's very true, they say you take WAY less pictures the second time around...and they're right. I've already started slacking compared to my pregnancy with Addison, but I'm trying to blame it on the move. I'm sure I'll be much better at taking pictures when I have the sweet little boy to take them of...my belly isn't too cute! But, I have this crazy friend from Texas that keeps insisting on a "belly picture" so here goes, Teal. (By the way, I'm just picking on her!)

This is from week 25 (last week)

Sorry, it's not the greatest picture, but that's what happens when you set it on the table and set the timer!

Sweet little lady...

She can be deceptive!!! Addison has been quite the personality these days. We think she's trying to express herself, but whoo-hoo, sometimes...thats a challenge. But, the majority of the day, she is sweet little Addison. She talks NON-STOP now. Literally. You think I'm kidding...I'm' not. She only stops long enough to take a deep breath, and start again. She also tells me that "mommy belly hurts" all the time...I guess that's her way of explaining my expanding stomach! But, the good thing is...she's still excited to be a big sister...

I'm back on track now!

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get all of these pictures posted. It was really complicated to post them from my parents house in GA, and then with the move, we just got internet less than a week ago...so here it goes...

There are a lot of pictures, so I apologize. I just didn't want to leave anything out. We are happy to finally be settling into our own house, but it is a LOT of work!!! We have our next appointment with OB on friday, so I will update you soon on the baby. We found out in the middle of October that we are having a baby BOY...so Jae is busting at the seams! His name will be Quenton...for the 5th - Jae wants to name him James Oliver Barclay V. He is healthy, and measuring a smidge big, so we'll check again this friday. I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy all the pictures, and I promise to be on time from now on!!!
