Finally...

I apologize for my lack of posting. In the recent days, Adison has kept me quite busy. He's not the calm little newborn we brought home from the hospital nearly 6 months ago. He's active, energetic, and on-the-go. He's not crawling yet, but Jon and I do believe it is in the near future. Being proactive, I've already secured all the outlets in the house with dandy little outlet covers we received at one of our baby showers. I must stay ahead because quicker than we know it, he'll be into everything. He's unable to crawl yet and he's already doing a good job of getting his hands on everything in sight. The pictures on today's post were taken last week. Just when we think he couldn't get any cuter...he does!

5 Months Pics

Here are several pictures. Some are of Adison eating cereal and some just because. He was so adorable regardless of how messy! Oh and did I mention he likes eating tags and his feet...well here's the photos to prove it!

Happy 5 Months, Adison!

Sorry that there is no picture. I'll have to get my husband's help with getting one on here when he has some time. The new camera is a little more complicated than our older one. Just wanted to let you all know that Adison was 5 months old yesterday. Can you believe it? He's 15 lbs 7 oz and 26 inches long!!!

Adison's New Interests:

- Observant of everything around him
- Likes to throw things off of his changing table while you're changing his diaper
- Loves to help you do anything...if it's in my hands, he will try to help me hold whatever it is
- Getting more difficult to dress because he's a wiggle worm
- Continuing to roll from his back to his tummy
- Drooling everywhere
- Stays in his jumper most of the day it seems
- Loves for mommy and daddy to read him books (though he tries to eat them most of the time)
- Starting on cereal
- Sleeping better some nights (ie: slept from 9-7 last night)
- Laughing harder (if he thinks you're funny)

Pictures to come, so stay tuned!

Spargo3 Christmas

Look at those adorable dimples...you just wanna squeeze him!



Taking a nap with Papaw...



Taking pictures with Mamaw...



Giving Mamaw her pot holder for Christmas that had his handprint on it!



Adison cuddling with his daddy one morning...



Our family photo taken on Christmas day.



For those of you who don't know this young man, this is our dear friend Chad. He introduced me to Jon just 8 months before we got married. This was Adison's first time meeting his "Uncle" Chad...they both look pretty excited about it, don't you think?



Adison loved playing with Papaw's beard. It was pretty funny...




I just like this one...


I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone. Adison has already experienced his first holidays. As you know, we were in NC for Christmas. We had a wonderful visit. Time flew by so quickly and we miss everyone so much. We did a bunch of nothing, which was very relaxing. Jon gave me a new camera for Christmas this year so I did some experimenting with the photos you'll see on this post. I love it, it's just going to take some practice. Now, if I put all the photos on here that I'd like to, you'd be looking a picture all day, so above are a few of our favorites. Hope
everyone had a great Christmas. Happy New Year, Friends!

Such a Sweet Face

Adison took a 2 1/2 hour nap this morning. It was wonderful. I had a busy day ahead of me and I was able to knock out a lot of things. I went in to peek on him, and this is what I saw. Isn't that face precious? When he naps, I tend to miss him so I go in and check on him about every 10-15 minutes! This will be my last post until after Christmas. We have a busy day tomorrow with the Youth Christmas Party and then Saturday morning we are heading to NC. I'm so excited. We'll be spending Christmas with my parents, my sisters, and their husbands and kids. From our family to yours...we hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Roll Baby Roll

The first two pictures are "just because." When Jon got home from work today we took them just because Adison was in a picture takin' mood! As for the video, once he figured out he could roll....he's been a wiggle worm! The past 2 nights he's slept 8 solid hours. Wednesday night, I went in to check on him and he was asleep on his tummy! (I always lay him on his back when I put him to bed...) We have a busy week ahead of us next week and next weekend we leave for NC for Christmas. Hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy!

Getting Stronger!!!

In the picture above Adison is 2 1/2 months old. As you can see he's leaning a little to the right. However, take a look at him sitting in his Bumbo this afternoon....




...much better head control! (He's 4 months now for those of you who didn't see the previous post)



And as you can see he's getting better at lifting his head while on his tummy!! Growing up fast!
