All about Addyson

A little over a month ago we got Addyson's pictures done. Here are a few of them....

Idaho 2nd Week

It seems like I havent been to my own home in forever and its only been two weeks so far. Addyson & I've been busy with visiting people. We went to Lewiston on Friday. We did some shopping at Wal-mart, went and see Grandma Rhonda at Albertsons, Went to Great Grandpa Keiths, and then last but not least to see Grandma Pat again. We had fun but it was a lot of work going all over. We also hung out at Gary & Lisas and Addyson met Anzleigh, Lisa's sons bestfriend. After that we came home and hung out. We finally got down to Great Grandma Barbs where everyone was digging out the well and putting more rings in it so it could hold more. That night we got invited out to Great Grandpa Wes' to have a dinner with some relatives that are from South Washington, Portland Oregon area. It was ok. Of course Alisha (Josh's younger sister) didn't want anything to do with us & we were leaving when Nicole got there. So we didn't get to see much of them. Ohh well, there lost. I am probably not going to see them before we leave. Nicole is too busy, and of course Alisha doesn't want anything to do with us (I'm pretty sure) so all in all we are wanting to go home for awhile. Justin was being adorable but he is a risk taker that is for sure. When we left the dinner he gave Addyson four kisses and a big hug. Not to forget he wanted to hold her a million times. But again, on a good note, Addyson is having a blast with her Grammie Ginger & Papa Jess. And my brother always has to hold her. Tomorrow we are going to a Timberline High School volleyball game. What better place to show off Miss Addyson!

Idaho 1st Week.

Lets just say the first week in Idaho has been pretty interesting. Stuff that I pretty much DON'T WANT TO WRITE here. On a good note, Addyson has been getting lots of loves from all her family. This last weekend was her FIRST rodeo. We also watched the parade. My mom had her class reunion & Addyson's aunties were in the parade. I seen many of my friends but I didn't hang out with them because my new life is with Addyson. Josh is missing us like crazy. He just got her pictures back from the photographer. We love them. She has the cutest personality. On Friday we went to see my friend Cheyenne's baby and her daughter but she was sleeping. Jackson is so cute, he is completely different from his big sister. Jackson & Addyson loveed each other. We had fun at the beach on friday. I got sunburnt, My mom watched the baby so I could swim. I had fun with Rikki, a girl I use to babysit. And then that Saturday was the rodeo & parade. We also went to the dinner for my moms class reunion, it was good. But on a bad note, I can't wait to get to my own home. Josh sounds like he is having fun but he is missing us. I love him. Hopefully things will be better appreciate with each other.

First few days in Idaho

Josh, Addyson & I arrived in Lewiston on Saturday morning, when I say morning I'm talking about like 12:30 a.m. We stayed at Cheryl, Mike, & Derecks house. We all stayed up talking until two and then we all slept. Addy girl didn't like the enviroment so she basically woke up every hour. We had a good trip over we only had to really stop once and then again in one town close to Clarkston to get some gas so we fed Addyson there too. It was an interesting trip. Josh went back the next day after having a full day with Dereck. Addyson and I went to my grandmas, her great grandparents, and stayed until Monday, I wanted to stay longer but Jessa claimed she had to registered as soon as possible. Lets just say Monday night was the worst night of my life. My sister & sister-in-law were really disrespectful & my sisters boyfriend threating to kick my husbands butt because he thinks h can, kind of ticked me off. I spent all day Tuesday crying. My parents finally came home, I was happ. On a good note Addyson is adored by her great grandpa Wes, which is Josh's grandpa, and his parents of course. Nicole finally got to see her but I wouldn't let her take her on Tuesday, I don't think tht will ever happen, maybe when she is older. Justin, he is of course the wild child of the bunch still. He calls Addy, BABY now, not Addy. Everyone is just loving Addyson, She has been held by everyone. (add pictures later)

Addyson's 2 mo. Appointment

On Monday (August 9) Addyson had her first appointment with her new doctor, Dr. Gasper, she is a very nice doctor and came and seen us when we were in the hospital when Addyson was born.

Addysons Stats;

Weight: 10 lbs 15 oz Percentile: 25%
Length: 21.3 inches long Percentile: 10%
Head: 36.5 cm Percentile: 5%

She is getting big with her weight but she is still small, meaning her length, and her head still needs to catch up but she is VERY healthy and I am so happy to have a strong baby. Addyson also had to get her 2 mo. shots. She didn't like them at all. The oral shot they gave her she threw up most of it. Good thing I am good at knowing when to move out of the way, I know the signs. Her owies where they gave her the shot are still pretty red. She is now letting me touch them with out screaming. I did tear up a little but I kept telling myself you can do this be strong for Addy. But I couldn't help but let a few flow. I don't know how I am going to get her ears pierced in October. Next appointment will be in September.

finding family

The last few days have been dragging on. We are heading to Idaho this weekend for a long visit. Josh isn't coming so its just Addyson and I. We'll be staying with Great-Grandma & Grandpa Lohman. Everyone is very excited to see Addyson. My mom isn't going to be there until Wednesday due to them going to Fish Lake. They try to go every year. I'm a little happy that I am not going to be in Weippe area until then, there is just way to much drama. I am hoping to get my hair cut. Its in major need of one. Addyson has been a good baby. Even though she likes to be awake all the time now. But that is probably a normal 2 almost 3 month old baby. She loves to watch colorful cartoons. We're starting already! It only last 15-20 minutes. Its adorable to watch her. The other day I ran 2 miles with barely stopping. My knees were killing me though. I think it isn't very good to run when your knees feel like they are going to pop out. I have to pack and make stuff for Josh's potluck on Friday. I wish he got out early so he can spend some time with me and Addy girl. He has been lacking in that department. He just wants to go do what he wants and I don't think he gets the picture that I am not always going to be the only parent. I think this vacation will do us a lot of good! Recently I found some of my family on the wonderful world of facebook. My big brother Cory who is really my half-brother and his wife Amy. I just found out that the age difference between us is huge. Its like fourteen years. And he isn't much older than my mom. My biological father is 55. I also found my bio-dad's sister, which is my Auntie Gale. She is one of my favorite aunts. She just loves to be around her family and that's what I like about her she will do anything for anyone. I am glad I get to keep in touch with her now since we all have facebook. I think that sometimes no matter how much I get made at facebook its a nice thing when it comes to keeping in contact. Writing a letter isn't what many people do anymore.
