WEEK 17 & 18

Week 17 and Campbell started cooing this week. And of course lots of smiles! Love it!

During Week 18 Campbell had her 4 month well check. Her stats:
weight: 12lbs 15oz (50%)
length: 25 3/4" (95%)
head circum: 16 3/4" (90%)
She has stayed pretty consistent with her 2mo visit as far as percentiles go.

This week we realized how big Campbell is getting. For instance we still her her in the "infant net" in the bathtub, which practically puts her outside of the tub. Without the net Campbell can really get in there and kick at the water, which puts water everywhere outside of the tub! She enjoys it though. We also broke out the small highchair so she can sit at the dinner table with us. Cam was probably thinking, "Geeze, it's about time. Let me get in on this action"

Addyson is such a proud big sister.

Grandma Reed made the girls knitted hats for the winter.

We have been trying really hard to potty train Addyson in the last few months. It's going okay, just slow. We are keeping out fingers crossed that one morning she will wake up and say "I'm done with diapers!!" She definitely knows what is going on. The last few days she has been saying she wants to do it be hersefl -- which is hopefully a good sign!

The Brand girls came over and made Christmas cookies last week. Of course Addy was a big helper.

A big helper at taste testing it appears....

We had the Magoteaux "Thank-Mas" party at Bob and Shirley's on Saturday. Addyson got a soccer net and ball from Uncle Mike (her godfather) and Aunt Diane. We set it up in the house the next day and she loves it. Funny part is she likes the little orange cones the most -- they look like bowls, so she is serving up all kinds of soup and macaroni for everyone.

At the party there were a lot of girls that wanted to hold Campbell -- especially the Dirksen girls! Hailey was able to rock Campbell asleep at the end of the night -- even with all of the action going on around them. I think we might have some great babysitters in a few years!!

Right after Campbell hit her 4 month birthday she rolled over for the first time. Jeff was laying on the floor with her and watching football, he put her on her belly on the floor beside him, and looked away. When he looked back she was laying on her back. Shocked, he rolled her over again and was able to capture it on video.  Of course Mom was not around and missed this milestone!

And, of course, not to be outdone by Campbell, Addyson started to belt out the Hokey Pokey. It is amazing what she learns from daycare!
