Growing like a weed...

Addison had her two month checkup this week. I cannot believe she is already two months old! She is growing like a weed weighing in at 9 pounds and 10 ounces and measuring 21 and 1/2 inches long. She is in the 40th percentile for both height and weight, a huge improvement from the 3rd percentile she was in at the last visit. Here are some recent snapshots of her.

She is getting good at smiling

This was her first nap in her new crib
She just looks so cute sleeping!

Dodge is also growing like a weed. He is 50 pounds!! Can you believe it?! He recently started Karate at Aaron 'Ace' Reis Karate. The instructors are so awesome and the work really well with Dodge. He is already learning so much. He looks so cute in his little outfit too.
This is his 'fighting stance'

This is Dodge doing a couple of side kicks




He recently aquired a little caterpiller from Liv, his girlfriend that lives across the street. He decided to name him 'wormy'. Dodge was good to make sure he had lettuce to munch on. We eventually let him go in the backyard so he could find a place to make a coccoon. We don't know where he ended up but Dodge liked having him for a while at least.

In addition to all the changes around here... I cut off my hair! Dodge decided right away that he liked it. He said "Mommy, I love your new hair. I think you should always do it like that." My brother says I got the 'mormon mother' haircut. Regardless... I like it.




Since I have gone back to work, Ryan has been with the kids at night. When I got home after my first shift back, I found everyone sprawled out on our bed. It was so cute I had to take a picture.

Addison is such a Daddy's girl. It is so cute to see the two of them together.

Milestones...

Last week, we were all at grandma and papa Johnson's when Addison rolled over for the first time. Grandma Johnson was pretty excited that we all were there to see it. Addison followed up her first roll with four more. I got it on video with my cell phone so it isn't too fantastic of a picture but here it is anyway...
