our family: February 2004 Archives

Miss Addi went to the doctor this week for her four-month well-baby checkup. How times flies!! Her stats are as follows:

weight: 14 lbs., 2 3/4 oz.
length: 24 in.

Addi continues to awaken herself by rolling over; fortunately for us, the frequency of these roll-overs has decreased!

Hale recently learned how to open his bedroom door, so naptime has taken on a new spin! And this morning I woke up to the sound of him calling out, "Mommy...Mommy...Mommy..." as he stood right outside his door. We put a gate up so that he can't fall down the dark stairs in the middle of the night, so at least he was somewhat confined until I made my way out of bed and up to his rescue!

As one of my old favorite songs says:

"These are days...to remember."

Just wanted to let you know that I updated the family page with our 2003 photos. The one of Hale is a filler because I couldn't find the right picture of him after the iBook died. Nannie, if you still have it on your camera, please let us know!

Enjoy the changing faces; no snickers, of course.

It was June of 2002 when Kevin wrote an entry about Hale's experiences with learning to roll over. Here we are a year and eight months later writing about Addison's same experiences...

Funny how something can be so cute and exciting the first few times it happens, but quickly loses its novelty and becomes somewhat annoying! Addi has taken to rolling over in her sleep, thus waking herself up, unable to resume her favored belly-sleeping position. This has happened about five times this afternoon, not to mention at 4:30 this morning!

I'm hoping that the next phase of Addi's development includes an ability to make a complete rollover!
