I am still alive!

So I know it has been for ever since I have posted but life has been a little crazy. Addie is now 9 months old. It is crazy how time flies. She is so much fun. She is into everything. She crawls all over the place and knows how to pull herself up and grab things. I am not ready for her to walk. She does the cutest things though. She loves to play Pattie Cake and clap her hands. She only says bye to herself in the mirror. She gives the best kisses. They are pretty wet ones too. She also sways her head back and forth and talks and talks and talks. It is so funny to watch her.

Well Levi and I are doing well. Levi has been busy with his work which is good. He loves it. I am have been busy with tax season, studying for my exams, running for some races, and being a mom. After tomorrow life will be much better. This last week I have been working a lot but I believe I have everything caught up for tomorrow. So I have to say if you haven't filed your tax return well it is too late now! Just kidding but seriously. I am working part time but part time for tax season is 50 hours so I can't wait to go back to 30 hours.

We have been in Delta alot lately too. I think I am trying to get all of my times to seeing my parents in. If you haven't heard, my dad has been called to be a mission president in Tucson Arizona. I was not so pleased when I heard about this in December but I am starting to face reality and dealing with it. Levi has been a sweetheart and has found me flights from Vegas to Tucson that are only $150 round trip so I can go down there quite a bit. My parents want to be with Addie as much as possible. By the time they come back Addie will be 4 years old. 3 years is a long time. They have been practicily their spanish faithfully and I have to say it is starting to come along for them. I was so proud of my parents last week. My dad blessed the sacrament in spanish in the spanish branch and then he bore his testimony in spanish. Later that day my mom said the dinner prayer in spanish. So they are doing well.

Well here are Addie's 6 month pictures. They turned out so cute. She was so funny. She would not smile, just sit there. My cousin Mariah's friend Natalie did them. She did a really good job.

2 Months and Going!!!

Well I know I am a slacker on blogging but I thought I should but an update on Addie. She is now 10 weeks. I know every mom says that their baby is the cutest and most amazing and I am now joining that bandwagon. Addie keeps getting cuter and cuter. On Sept. 17th she giggled for the first time. It was so cute. Then on Sept. 24th she did her first roll. It was only a half roll, but a week later she rolled over from her belly to her back for me. I was so excited.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Salt Lake and went to a Utah game. She loved it. She was happy of course because the Utes were winning. My dad bought her her first Utah outfit. He thought that was only right.

Addie's Blessing Day!!!

Well this last weekend we blessed Addie. It was so good. My family came down and stayed in St. George for the weekend. We were able to hang out with them and had a good time. We blessed Addie in our ward and Levi did such a good job. It was so neat to see the boys in our family go up to the circle.

I do have to say though it was not the most perfect day. Everything was good starting out. Addie was smiling and she had slept through the night, but as soon as we put on the blessing dress everything came crashing down. She immediately spit up all over the dress and she was not happy. We finally got her calmed down at the church and the minute Levi takes her to go bless her, she starts to cry. 10 minutes after her blessing she feel asleep. I swear that is how life goes. But overall it was a great day!

1 Month Old!

So I just wanted to update. Addie turned 1 month old this week. She is becoming more and more alert. Yesterday she smiled for the first time (well really smiled, not just a random thing). She is getting cuter and cuter. I also have a picture of her zebra print skirt. I loving being a mom except I could do without the spit up all over me.

Welcome Addie K Larson

So I am slow on my posting but I have finally have my pictures together for our little girl. Her name is Addie K Larson. She was born on July 24th at 2:26 pm. She weighed 6 pounds and 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. She was born with lots of hair, which has been fun. She is a good baby. I really can't complain much. We have had a couple of rough nights because she had her nights and days mixed up, but other than that she only wakes up once or twice a night.

My labor was not the greatest and I won't go into details because if anyone is pregnant I don't want to give them any horror stories. I think that is rude. But I will say it was not fun. Thank goodness for Levi's cousin McKell. She was my nurse and was the best nurse. I feel bad that I was not the best patient. I am a wimp and I don't do pain well. But I do have to say that I love the epidural. It is my best friend. My labor was long and the baby's heart rate was pretty high. So when she was born she had to be put on oxygen. She did really well with it though and after several hours, we were able to take her off of it and she has been just fine ever since. She did get a little bit of Jaundice. But we put her under the lights for a few days and she was fine.

I can't believe we have a baby. It is kind of wierd to look down at this baby and to think that it is yours. But I love her so much. Levi loves her too. She has him wrapped around her finger. He comes home and just gives her kisses. It is so cute. He is so protective of her. A father instinct.

Well this week I got to go to Delta for the first time with her and we had a great time. We got to see the grandparents and friends and other family members. I was so glad we got to go.

Yesterday was Levi's birthday. So we celebrated it with his family. They came over and we had brownies and ice cream. So far we have been pretty busy since we have had this baby but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
