12 weeks old. Idaho Trip


Addison is almost three months old. She is still a wonderful baby. Daddy just loves her, and wishes he could spend more time with her.
From the pictures you will see Addison's colorful, sparkly band aids from her 2 month shots. It was a terrible experience for her mother. I think I cried as hard as she did, and was on the verge of tears all morning after the shots.

Addison is quick to smile, and is giving lots of coes and gurgles. She is so much fun. She loves her baths, except for getting out and having the cold air hit her body. That is usually the only "real crying" time during our daily routine. Yesterday (March 3rd) she rolled over for her first time. From her belly to back. I was so excited, a neighbor friend witnessed this event so you will note; I am not lying. RJ was playing at a football game unfortunately.

RJ has been keeping nice and busy. He leaves for school before Addison and I are out of bed, comes home and studies all night only taking a break to eat and short breaks to kiss and snuggle Addison. Not his wife, I might add! He plays basketball twice a week and football once a week. So he is still staying active and I have heard from one of the other players he is a good ball player, but I already knew that of course.

Addison and I just got home from a trip to Idaho. She is such a good little traveler. Most people on the plane didn't even know there was a baby on it. She was very happy to just sit on my lap and make faces at the neighbor passengers.

We spent two weeks at Grandpa and Grandma Walker's, the plane ticket was my birthday present from Grandpa Walker. And of course made frequent visits to Grandpa and Grandma Willmore's, when they were home from work. Addison loved the attention, it has been a hard adjustment coming home and only having mommy for company.

We were very busy when we were in Idaho trying to visit all of the friends and family we could fit into one trip. We even took a day and traveled to Logan UT to visit Aunt Krista and Uncle Jordan and former teachers and friends from Utah State. A day was with Aunt Rachel trying to learn how to make bows for Addison. It will take me a while to get as good as Rachel. And we also had a few fun days down in Idaho Falls shopping with the Willmore's and visiting Great Grandparents. It was fun to see all of Addison's cousins, of course they all wanted to poke at her and give her a good rocking in her car seat. We had a marvelous time with everyone.

You are right, RJ is too skinny. He never eats! I really do try and feed him, even if it doesn't look like it. It is so good to hear from you. It has been way too long.
