Family Photos

We had our family pictures taken a few weeks ago. We haven't had them taken since this time last year and my how Addison has grown. It was nice to have some pregnant pictures of ma ma too so we can see baby Averly!
Here are a few of our favorites!

Beach Day

A few weekends ago we finally had a sunny, hot day. We decided to walk down to the beach to let Addie run around. Practicing a little rock climbing!

Splashing in the BIG puddle!

Checking out the surf.

Sprinkle for Averly

Jess and Olivia are the best ever! They threw us a small, intimate and all around perfect shower (a.k.a) sprinkle to welcome baby girl. It was so much fun.
It was so nice to celebrate with everyone and I received some really special gifts. She got some adorable clothes as well as her first baby doll (which Addison has already unwrapped and played with, sorry Averly!) Aunt Olivia got her two of the most adorable tu tu's ever. Watch out Da Da....out come the ruffles! Aunt Jess got her stickers which say how many months old she is to put on onesies. I am sure she will be sporting them on the blog VERY soon! Mi Mi sent a gorgeous dress for her to wear home from the hospital and hand crochet shoes that I wore when I was little. Dave (Jess' husband) made his famous cake pops for the shower.
Beautiful Flowers!

The Ladies.....

It was such a special day...thank you everyone!!!

Cozy

Addie wanted to get cozy on the couch on Saturday. We were watching a special on Mt. Everest which he seemed really interested in but I guess he just couldn't make it... He was asleep 5 minutes later.
I love moments like this. They are too few!!!

Happy birthday piper!

Piper's birthday party was on Sunday and Addie had a blast. He ate cupcakes and played until he dropped.


The Clarks just got a trampoline and boy are we excited! Jess just had a baby so we are planning future play dates filled with lots of jumping and napping infants. Of course Addie loved it (so did da da!!!!) Rayna is having a good time too!!!


Playing with piper's birthday present... Her kitchen. Addie kept on turning on the stove burner and saying "hot". Guess we know what ma ma says a lot while cooking dinner!


More kitchen with the birthday girl. Look at her adorable tu tu. Happy birthday piper!!!

Chair???

Da da has been trying to enforce a no skateboard in the house policy. As you can see it's not working so well. This is Addie watching sesame street this morning while eating his apple ON the skateboard.
I did manage to stop the skateboard from joining in bathtime last week though.
I wonder if they make indoor skateboards... Doubt it.

Salsa party

Paul had a salsa party for his birthday this weekend. Addie kept on asking if there was going to be a jumpy.
As a side note he loves jumpies. We drove by a termite tent the other day and Patrick said "watch, he's going to think that's a jumpie". Sure enough 2 seconds later I hear JUMPY from the back seat!!!
Anyway, we told him that there was not going to be a jumpy but there would be music. He ended up dancing the night away to salsa music.

Here are the kiddos dancing early on in the night before they really got going!





Addie and isla having a ball together!




The kiddos waiting their turn for the piniata. Addie got really excited that candy came out of the bottom!

More skateboard

His new favorite past time is riding the skateboard. Every day last week we would go outside when I got home and ride until it got too dark to see! He loves it when all the neighborhood kids are out and join in the fun! There is a 3 year old that lives across the street and a 3 and 6 year old in the front house. It becomes skateboard mania when they are all out there.

Everly and clare's bday

Everly and Clare turned one and to celebrate they had a combo bday party at the park. Addison has gotten really into birthdays and especially parties. Every time he sees candles (even if they are home decor candles) he says happy birthday. Here are a few shots...

The birthday girls!!

Kicking it on the blanket with Sam and isla. I think he was pretending to go night night.

Road trip!

Addie wanted to go home with Sam and isla last week after the park. He didn't get to but all three of them thought it was hilarious to have him sit in between them before they left!!! ( I missed isla in this shot but she was cracking up too!!)

Baby Averly

We went in today for the last ultrasound. Everything looks great. The Dr. said that the umbilical chord attachment doesn't seem to be affecting her at all and she is growing well. In fact, she is projected to be large just like Addison (she is already 5 1/2 lbs). She was in the 50th percentile at our last ultrasound which was a month ago and she has jumped up to the 77th percentile. The Ultrasound technician said she was "chubby" when measuring her abdomen.
We are scheduled for our C-Section at 9:00 a.m. on December 14th and will check in at 7:00 a.m.
I can't wait to meet her!
Below are the ultrasound pictures. They get a little harder to see the bigger she gets since there is not as much amniotic fluid but the ultrasound technician has what each image is typed in next to it. We could not get a 4D of her face since her face is right up to the placenta. You can however, see two eyes and the bridge of her nose in one of the shots!

A Look Back

Here was our little monkey last Halloween. Wow, it's amazing how much they change in a year!
He was definitely more into the candy this year!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year! For starters She She and Paw Paw were in town to trick-or-treat with us which made it really special. We had all of Addie's little friends over before trick-or-treating for a little shin dig. It was so cute to see everyone in their costumes and Addison was so excited to have his little friends over to play. I didn't get pictures of all the kiddos together but here are some Addison shots....

Our Halloween table...Addison is excited about the bowl of oranges (his new favorite fruit).

My little cowboy. When he saw me with my hat on for the first time he started cracking up. It was really cute.

Pictures with She She and Paw Paw.

The Calhoon Clan.

Addison stole the cookie and candy corn tray off the table and brought it outside for easier access.

Da Da was an Indian to go with Addie's cowboy theme. If only I had joined the bandwagon. But a witch seemed much easier for an 8 month pregnant mommy.

Heading out to hit up the neighborhood.

The trick-or-treating clan.

Pa Pa and She She hitting the neighborhood. Pa Pa was ssccccaaarrryyyy with his costume on!

Making his way to the front door. Sam was leading the way!
