HOLD ON, Wait a minute.. Lets back it up now.

These first couple of months of stay at home mommy-dom have been a blur. Don't get me wrong- its been awesome to be able to spend so much time with all my girls but the days tend to run together. And well, you just dont notice them growing up as much as they are. Well, I got a wakeup call this morning. AJ is signed up for her first season of REAL Cheerleading. She will be cheering for the Hoover Raiders and today is cheer camp. As I lay in bed, i'm half asleep trying to mumble what Ken needs to remember to pack for her and I realize I need to do her hair. So I roll out of bed and stumble into her room. Then I help her tie her sparkling white new cheer shoes with my eyes half shut, then we go into the bathroom where I put her hair into a pony tail (I'm still half asleep). Well she turns around and I dont know where it came from but she grew up. Right then and there! She looks so grown up and mature!

Addison is growing up fast too. She wants to be JUST like AJ. When all the big girls are over here playing- Addi is right behind them trying to keep up. She's started to communicate more, she says dada, daw (dog), aday (AJ)- she usually screams this one she gets so excited to see her sister, anna (she says this one pretty clearly), mum mum (food), ah-ma (grandma), neh-neh (milk), wah (water), zus (juice) and Amn (amen)-she says that one when she's ready to eat. :) She's also taken after AJ and has developed a maternal side. She tries to rock, pick up, hug and bounce Anna whenever she's around her. Its really sweet to see. She still gets overly excited and smacks her on the head every now and then but she's learned to be a little more gentle.

Now Annalise, Anna is an AMAZING baby! So laid back and she smiles ALL THE TIME. Its amazing to see her grow as much as she has. She is a little over 2 months old now and she is 12 pounds. She's turned into a cute little chunk if I do say so myself. We're just enjoying watching her grow.
