Addy is 4 months today

Adalynn had her four month old appointment today. She weighed in at 16lbs and 26 inches long. Doctor said she is very healthy and strong. She likes us to help her sit up and get up on her feet so she can 'stand'. He said not to trust her, she is very capable of launching herself anywhere at this point. Then she got her next round of shots and I almost got our family 86'd from the pediatrician's office. The nurse was inflicting pain on my baby for what seemed like forever. Good thing Brian was there!!!

I got Addy this pumpkin costume and was so excited to for her experience her first Halloween trick-or-treating with her cousins. However....she didn't get enough sleep and screamed until I got her home in her crib. So she never even wore the outfit until the next day. Oh the things you learn from children, lots of patience!!! So here she is on November 1st sporting her costume. She'll even wear it for Thanksgiving. I'm getting my money's worth. :)
I think she likes it!!

My girlfriend Tonya just had a baby boy, Jenning Louis. We put him and Addy together for some pictures. She is so big next to her new friend. She also made me a little nervous throwing her arm over by his head wanting to touch him. She doesn't have full control of her arms yet, let alone understanding 'gentle'. We had a great time visiting baby Jenning, he's so cute!
I also put her hair in her first big girl pigtails. They are hard to see in the picture, but they stick straight up.
