Then and Now

Here are both of my babies right around 3 months. Hudson definitely has bigger facial features than Addison. I don't see the resemblance. Do you?

The Girls

We couldn't let the boys steal the show!

My Boys

There's nothing better than that!!

Yay!!

Addison had her official first full night of sleep. She went from 9:30 until 5:00 this morning. Woo-hoo! Let's hope we have a repeat tonight!

Swag what? Most of you probably already got my email about this but I just had to share about my new find. It's swagbucks.com. It's a search engine that rewards you just for using their website to search for stuff online. Go here http://swagbucks.prodege.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=245715 and set up an account and then just search from their website like you would with google. The more you search, the more points you rack up. You can redeem them for giftcards to places like Target, Starbucks and Amazon.com. Too cool. Also, if you use this link, I get extra points. Thanks :)

Poor Addison. She has a serious case of dunlap. Her belly has done lapped her diaper. She looks a little concerned about the situation!

Baby Shower

On Saturday, me and Marty's Aunt (and my sweet friend) Candy, threw Marty's sister (Cheryl) a baby shower. We all had a great time and Cheryl received lots of fun baby goodies! The pictures below show the cute decorations and the diaper cake that Marty help me make. I was inspired by the one Anna made for me back in August.

Candy came up with the idea for the baby clothes on the clothesline. Too cute!

The diaper cake. You know you have a fabulous husband when he spends his evening helping you roll up 112 baby diapers :)

Me, Cheryl and Candy. Notice how much Cheryl looks like Marty in this picture. Take away the hair and compare her face to Marty's profile pic. Crazy :)

Random

This is just a hodge podge of things that have been going on with the Pearces this week. On Tuesday, we cancelled our Time Warner service and got Direct TV with Verizon High Speed Internet. For those of you still using Time Warner, you're probably paying too much. We've really enjoyed our new service and we're paying about 1/2 of what we did with Time Warner. I have a picture below of Hudson looking out the window waiting for the Direct TV installer who by the way was 4 hours late! No worries...I called and complained and they gave me a $100 credit!

Also happening this week...Addison had her 2 month check up. She weighed 12lb 5 oz (75th percentile) and is now 22"long (50th percentile). She's kinda like a tuna can, short and round :) She got 2 shots (ouch!!) and has been feeling kinda crummy ever since.

On Saturday, we went to Bahama to visit Hudson and Addison's new cousins. Three walker hound puppies named Walker, Texas and Ranger (no, I'm not making that up). Marty's sister Cheryl and her husband John brought home the newest family members a few weeks ago. They're expecting their own little girl in January so they needed some prep! I told John that I couldn't believe he named them Walker, Texas and Ranger and he just laughed and said that at least their names weren't Doctor, Quinn and Medicine woman :)

Hudson's been cracking us up lately. He has developed quite the imagination. Yesterday, Marty was taking a pizza out of the oven and he grabbed one of the pot holders, put it on his head, and said "Look, a birthday hat!" Then he made Marty wear one on his head :) In the car yesterday, he looked out the window and said, "Look, a puma!" Some other words to note...

Chick-a-lick: Chick-fil-a

Coiky nuts: coconut

chocalick: chocolate

The puppies (sooo cute!!)

Addison: Two Months

Our sweet girl is two months old!! She has lost her newborn look and is turning out to be one cute baby! She smiles every time she sees her daddy and loves to give us sweet baby cues. She is still eating every 3 hours and sleeps in 5 hour stretches at night. Yay!! She has her 2 month check up on Friday so I'll fill you in on her weight and length then. Hudson is interacting with her more. He will walk up to her and say "hey sweet girl, give us a smile?"

Addison was dedicated at church yesterday and unfortunately we didn't bring the camera but I'm hoping someone got a shot of her. She looked adorable in her little brown sweater dress.

Bumbo baby.

Check out her dimple on the left cheek. Hudson has one on his right cheek! God must have paired them up in heaven:)

The Baseball Man

This year for Halloween, Hudson dressed up like a "baseball man." We asked him what he wanted to be about a month ago and this is what he told us. We're not really sure why he requested this costume since we don't watch baseball at the house. Marty made him a super cute shirt with an iron on transfer from the computer and we found some XS baseball pants at Dicks. He was adorable!! Addison dressed up as the cutest baby in the world. She pulled her look off very well :)

'Lil pumpkin head.

Swing batter batter.

Look at that form. I see spring tee-ball in this boy's future!

He racked up on the candy. We sent it to the fire station with Daddy the next day
