Trips to Indy

The kids and I spent a lot of time in Indy during January and February - to give Stan some peace and quiet while he studied for the Bar - and to give me a little extra help with the kids. I am truly indebted to you, Mom and Dad - you kept all 3 of us happy, fed and entertained during a very long winter.

Cooking with Gram - and then decorating the cupcakes.

Little bonding time with Aunt Melissa

Fun night of bowling. Sean had tried it for the first time a week before and actually tried to kick the ball down the alley - we've shown great signs of improvement in just a week!

Sean quickly began to bowl by himself - with a little help from me to make sure that he threw down the right lane...

He sure loves his Cassidy...

In February, my brother proposed to Melissa and we had a little engagement party for them

Back to cooking - this time - Shamrock cookies

Oh - and check out this super cool smock that my Mom made for him!

Sean did all of the sprinkles too...

Our next birthday celebration was for my niece and nephew

Can you believe the twins are teenagers?!?

best friend cousins :)

They both look pretty comfortable!

We had a lot of fun on our trips to Indy!!

Addison's 4 Months

Addison is 4 big months! Here are the stats:

Height: 24.5" (59%)
Weight: 14.3 pounds (64%)

Just for fun comparison - Sean was 27" (they both started at 20") and he was 18# (he had gained 12 pounds at this point to her 6 pounds) I knew Addison was a more petite version of Sean, or better yet, I remember that Sean was a chunker, but kind of wild to see that he had outgained her 2:1 at this point! She is definitely getting to wear her 0-6 month clothes a lot longer than he did.

She's doing well with eating and sleeping - generally sleeping about 10 hours at night! And has done very well at the sitter too. I'm a lucky Mom.

Happy Valentine's Day!
