Addie Grace is 4 months!!
Our precious little girl is four months! She just lights up our world. Every time I think about her, I can't help but smile and I want to tell everyone about her. She's so beautiful to me (and Josh), I know I'm biased and I think every parent thinks this about their own child, which is wonderful;) Addie is such an easy baby. it's funny to look back at my previous posts about how she was a handful just like her big brother, things have definitely changed! Her teachers say she's the favorite in the class because she is so easy and so sweet.
Her stats:
Weight - 14 lbs 12 oz (75%)
Height - 25 1/4" (75%)
Head - 39 cm (25%)
What she's doing now:
Eating 5 1/2 oz every 3 hours
Two naps during the day and she will go down for the night around 7/8:00 and sleep till 6/7:00
Clothes - 6 month clothes but I think she will still fit in 3 mo.
Size 2 diapers
Loves people, faces, being talked to
She is becoming better and better at grabbing objects...she loves her playmat and her carseat toy...grabs the hanging toys right away
She also LOVES her mobile...I love how she acts like it's the first time she has seen it
She has rolled over both ways (just a couple of days ago), and has been trying so hard to do it again
She still loves her sucking her thumb and eating her hands
Still has that ear hair! Uh-oh....surely it will fall off:)
She seems to be content with where ever you put her...in the swing, bouncer, floor, bed, mostly anwhere. Usually she will make a loud bird sound to let us know she's done. She did have an opinion about the car seat on the way home from daycare...she would SCREAM every. Single. Day! Now I guess she has given up that battle, thankfully! I feel like that lasted an entire month!! She's such a sweet, amazing, awesome little girl. It's hard to imagine how things were before she was here:)
Here is our sweet precious girl at 4 months!
She thinks she's pretty too.
First time in the jumperoo...she liked it for a short period.
Then someone else HAD to get in too (with his shoes off)
Blowing bubbles...her favorite thing to do...
Some tummy time...she's getting a lot better at holding her head up.
And drooling. ALL. THE. TIME!
My favorite picture by far!
We love you baby girl!

It's here!!
2012 has fastly come upon us. I'm really not into new year resolutions so I havent made any, mainly because I never follow through. I do love to hear about resolutions and think "good for you," but not realistic for me... Addie is approaching 4 months now so I've decided that maybe its time to try to get rid of some of this baby fat. I'm tired of being out of shape and I have the dreaded and oh so hard to get rid of 'Dunlap' disease...my belly dunlapped over my pants:) Well it's been like this for a while and I'm almost positive it will be with me forever because I LOVE food with a passion, I work full time and have two kids...where is the time to really focus on myself and my belly:) So this isn't a news years resolution, it just happens to be right at the new year.
Now the question is what to do?? I've started running again...that's my 'go to' for exercise, but I would like to do more...I would love to do Crossfit, but my schedule doesn't give me the opportunity to do so...so we will see what I come up with. But NO promises or resolutions:)

Park City, Utah - Skiing!!, more Christmases AND some Girl Time:)
Day 1 - Christmas Day
The Boys:
Josh and Colt leave for Park City, UT from Panama City Beach, FL at 2:30 with Nana, Pops, Hunter, Jennifer, Tyler, Ayla and Fisher. Josh was required to send me pictures and updates but could only do so much while he was on the plane. Here are some shots of Colt at the airport looking at the planes and in the plane. Josh said he did pretty good, slept a little and played on the iPad. He only got in trouble one time and started crying:(
Waiting to board.
They switched planes in Houston, TX and Oakland, CA (which was strange because they had to backtrack to get to Park City, UT.) When they FINALLY arrived at Park City, I think it was 11:30 p.m. but they had not gotten their luggage or checked in. LONG DAY!
What the girls did...
Addie and I headed to Auburn to eat Christmas lunch with Elyse, Brian, KK, Mamama, and Crawford and exchange presents there. Luckily we draw names, so the adults only have one present to open but the kids get a lot. Since Colt wasn't there it was pretty calm...the toddlers feed off each other, so Troy was probably his normal self. It was still fun watching Troy open his presents.
Troy got Bullseye!
Mamama and Crawford - we gave them a 31 bag that I wanted so bad!
Addie and her present from Mamama and Crawford.
Addie was really excited about her new doll....it was so sweet she was blowing bubbles and smiling at her.

After Elyse/Brian's we went to Wetumpka to spend the night with KK. It was very relaxing just the 3 of us:) Mom and I watched The Help, so good!
Day 2:
The Boys:
I got a call from Josh about 7:30 which was 6:30 their time, it never fails that Colt is going to wake up early no matter what time he goes to bed. I knew Josh was in for a long day. We did some Facetime with our iPhones, so it was nice seeing both boys. Colt got to play in the snow a little bit but, that's about it. Josh said he was ill (tired/cranky) all day and he probably got about 17 spankings. Haha. It took a while for everyone to get moving after such a long trip. Thankfully Colt got a LONG nap so he was a little better that afternoon.
We did Facetime again that night and Josh was already ready to come home...he's not much for leaving me and our home:( Hopefully tomorrow will be better...
The Girls:
Addie and I spent some time with KK before we headed to Hope Hull to have Christmas with my Dad and Grandma. There was a crowd there! Grandma, Dad, Helen, Ken, Elizabeth, Mercer, Lara, Kevin, Heath, Kristiana, Rebecca, Nick and Ryder...and of course me and Addie. We had turkey and oyster gumbo and a fabulous coleslaw salad.
The dinner table...Rebecca, Ryder, Nick and I were at the "kid" table.
Grandpa, my dad, and Addie.
We exchanged gifts after lunch.
Ryder and Addie. Mom made Addie's Christmas outfit, she wasn't very happy with it, but I loved it and so did everyone else!
This is Bentley, my cousin Lara's dog.
We took a million of these pictures and sadly this was the best one, but I like it:)
Grandma and Addie.
Heath and Kristiana Hardy.
Opening presents, Elizabeth, Mercer and Helen.
Lara, Ryder and Bentley.
My dad stayed like this FOREVER...at least an hour.
Grandma, she is 81 years old.
That afternoon, Addie and I headed back to Dothan. Linsday and Justin came over to visit a little bit. Lindsay is one of my best friends from college and her new husband's mom lives here, so hopefully this will be an annual event. We had a nice little visit:)
Addie showing off her new bag.
Random...I can't get Daisy to stay off this...
Addie started coughing...hope she's not getting sick:(
Day 3
The Boys:
According to Josh today was a better day. If you have ever gone skiing you know there's a lot of equipment involved...boots that you can hardly walk in, skiis that are taller that you, poles and not to mention you have a jacket and gloves on that restricts you from normal movements (because they are so big), then you add a toddler in there with all the same stuff and really can't walk in the boots...it's going to be frustrating and VERY difficult to get around. Somehow Josh made it and Colt went Skiing today!!! Josh sent me a video and he did SO good! Josh was very impressed with him.
Colt is WORN OUT!
The Girls:
Well I had to go back to work today, so not much to post here. Addie still has a nasty little cough. She slept from about 6:30 pm to 6:00 am. SO, I started cleaning up all the Christmas mess and putting up decorations. I LOVE Christmas and the decorations, but it sure does feel good to get them down!
I found Woody hanging around the big present under the tree from KK....mmmm.
The rest of the week: (I'm done doing day by day!!)
The Boys:
Colt slept with Nana and Pops last night, so Josh got some much needed sleep! It rained in Park City, so Colt spent a lot of the day with Nana while Josh went to work out.
I'm really not sure what day this is, but it's after Josh and Colt went skiing and it was late in the day (nap time)...Josh had to carry Colt and all their geer and Colt slept the whole time. This is on the bench at the lockers...poor thing!
Friday they flew out of Park City, Utah to Chicago to Panama City Beach. Here is a picture of Josh and Colt on the plane. Does it look like Josh is ready to come home?!?!
There was a 3 hour layover in Chicago, so the boys decided to find a TV and get the play station out and play Modern Warfare....haven't seen this before!
Colt did not get a doll for Christmas...this was Addie's.
Bullseye!! THAT's what Woody was waiting on!
It has been a wonderful Christmas this year and we have been truly bless this year! We can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for us!

Right before take-off, see them holding hands...so cute.
I got ths sweet note on the iPad.

The Girls:
Addie has Bronchiolitis:( I took her to the doctor Thursday morning and got the bad news...They gave me a breathing treatment for her and all I can do is elevate, suction and run the humidifier. She is pitiful! We were going to have a fun week of girl time, movies, relaxing and a little shopping:( Now it's snot, coughing, holding a lot, and sleepless nights...oh well. Lots of work and she is so sick:(
Friday...Josh and Colt are finally home! They got home around 11 pm and Colt ran to me and gave me the biggest hug and said "Mommy!" He was a little wired...saw the presents under the tree, so we couldn't go to bed without opening them. Why not??
We had a good time opening presents from The Corbitt's and Grandpa after 11 at night:)
Colt got to sleep with us for a little while that night..it's so good to have them home!!
The next day KK came and Colt got to open MORE presents!!
Colt did not get a doll for Christmas...this was Addie's.
It has been a wonderful Christmas this year and we have been truly bless this year! We can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for us!
