Labor Day Weekend.




Well, there have been a couple things going on with Addison. Addison had her 4 month checkup last Thursday, she weighs 14 lbs 1oz and was measured at 23.5 inches. Addy's pediatrician did say that he did feel that her length may have been an inaccurate measurement and that she is probably 24 inches minimum. Addy tried some cereal for the first time on Friday morning. She was not overly interested and I think more of it ended up on the burp cloth than in her mouth. I guess we will just keep trying!


This weekend was pretty uneventful for us. On Sunday we went to church then we went to Aunt Gail and Uncle Norb's. AuntGail and Uncle Norb had a great cookout with a ton of delicious food. Addy had a great day the picnic but she was so tired by the time we came home. It has been nice having a long weekend to relax a little bit.


Hope all is well with everyone!


Love,

Nicki, Matt, Addy & Deke :-)

Weekend in Pyme


Well, Addy got to visit with grandma and grandpa Fenlock this weekend at Pyme. Was not a very busy weekend, actually did not do much of anything. We had traveled up to Pyme this weekend to house sit for Matt's parents while they went camping. It was nice relaxing weekend. Addy also got to see her Aunt Daneen, Uncle Luc, and Nicolette (sorry if I misspelled that). Deke got to go swimming at the lake which naturally made him very happy since he does not get nearly as much attention these days. We left Pyme at about 6pm and by 6:30 Addy was asleep and is sleeping through the night. She did not even flinch when I took her from her carseat to her pack n play. The picture posted is actually from when we got home this evening.
Addy also turns 4 months tomorrow. I can't believe she is already 4months old. Addy is also growing more and more every day. Addy does have a doctor's appt later this week so I will post later in the week to let everyone know her length, weight, etc.


Have a good week everyone!!

Wednesday at Nana's





Well, I finally talked Matt into going rafting with some friends. I don't have any pictures yet to post however I will post them as soon as I get them. We went rafting on Wednesday Oct 20th and it was an awesome day on the Lower Yough. The tempeture was perfect and the water felt refreshing when you did get wet. We had alot of fun and I had my first out of boat experience on the water. Looking forward to trying the either the New River or the Gauley either this fall or next fall. Also rafted the Upper Yough at the beginning of the summer which is a totally different experience from the Lower Yough.

Addison stayed home with Grandma Covato while we went rafting. Prior to leaving to go rafting my mother gave Addison a big pink ball which she just loved. I tried my best to get some pictures of her playing with the ball to post. Grandma Covato and Addison had a great day and even went to the mall together. Addison is starting to hold herself up very well when on her belly. She does get a little frustrated after awhile because she wants to be able to move and can't . We try to place her on her belly for a little bit every evening though it is hard because she falls asleep so early for the entire night.
I must also tell you that since Deke is so neglected now, I registered him for doggy day at Sandcastle. Yes....the dogs all get to swim on this one day at Sandcastle. People are only allowed into the water up to their knees. They are even going to have chicken flavored snow cones for the dogs along with game, raffles, etc. This event takes place on Sept 6 and costs $20.oo per dog (people are free). You do have to register your dog first so if anyone is interested let me know and I will pass along the phone number.

Well I am sure I will have more pics after this weekend .
Have a good weekend everyone!!

Hectic Weekend.










Well, this was a hectic weekend. On Friday some of our friends came over to hang out and play with Addison. This was the first time we have had any friends over for a get together since we had Addy...then again I think it is the first time ever. It went well and it was really nice to see everyone. Addison was a bit tired by the time everyone had got here because she got very little sleep during the day. Friday was also a bit of a long day for Addy. She was refusing to eat all day and Matt ended up taking her to the pediatrician when he arrived home from work. The pediatrician concluded that her loss of appetite was probably due to the acid reflux which she is already taking medication for. On Saturday we were also supposed to be in town early for my friend Jenn's shower but was unable to make it due to being late getting into Uniontown. We did however make it to the Hutchison picnic with my parents, sister and Addy's cousin Bailey. It was a long day!!!! Saturday was a huge day for our niece though. Bailey had pee'd on the potty for the first time at Pap Pap and Nona's house. I would post the pics but am fearful that I would get reported these days. We were all so proud of Bailey.
As for Sunday, Matt worked his butt off in the garden, yard, etc. Nothing exciting on Sunday.

Hi everyone! Sorry I have not posted anything in awhile. Things have been pretty hectic here. Addy is doing well in daycare though she had a few rough days this week. Addy is still home with me a couple days a week however will be at daycare more often once I begin classes. Addy still sleeps great through the night and usually falls asleep around 7pm. Addy is starting to explore her toys that hang from her carseat alot more. She will often pull them towards her mouth. Addy has figured out how to pull or binky out of her mouth however gets very frustrated when she can't figure out how to put it back. She just loves to sit up like a big girl and is already very interested in the Noggin channel. Matt and I are doing well. We will be heading to Uniontown this Saturday at which time we will be going to Hutchison's summer picnic after I go to a friends baby shower. I will try to add some more pics after this weekend as well as at least one new post every week.
