Dr. Mcdreamy or Dr. Mcsteamy

It looks like Kai (Dr. Mcsteamy) has a little competition. That's right Andrew (Dr. Mcdreamy) is making his move. Matt, Lori, and Andrew stopped by to say hi to Kristi and Addyson this past weekend and Kristi snapped a couple of pictures of them together. Hey Matt, I will make the same deal with you that I made with Ryan T. If Addyson and Andrew happen to get along and start planning a wedding, I'll pay 30 and you can pay 70. Sounds like a GREAT deal to me.

A Little Belly Time

Only 9 weeks old and already doing the worm!! That's right Addyson is already starting her dancing career. If you want your socks knocked off you should see her do the moonwalk. Kristi and I think this is the wave of the future and she will make millions of dollars running around Seattle with a piece of cardboard, wearing Zubas(SP), and dancing with music blaring from her boom box.

Actually, It's just a little tummy time. Addyson will lay there smile ear to ear and bob her head up and down. It's so fun to watch and we are proud of our little girl. (Although it doesn't take much for us we're proud of her when she goes number 2).

Trick or Treat

Today, Kristi , Addyson , and our friend Brooke tagged along with Kai and Ryean-Marie to a community Halloween party. They called it the Pee-Wee Monster Bash, how awesome is that. As you can see Addyson went as a bee and she was BEEautiful. Her friend/little lover, Kai went as a vampire. It goes without saying but he too was a hansom fellow. According to Kristi they all had a good time and hope they can do it again next year. I think on Wednesday we are going to take Addyson around to a couple of neighbor's, just so they can see her. If we get a little candy for her that's just a plus, of course I will have to check every piece to make sure there are no razor blades in it but, HEY that comes with the territory. With how Addyson looks I know your all wondering if she just stared in the movie Bee the answer is No!! Our agents couldn't work with the movie people so we had to pass. They only wanted to give us a couple million and really who can work for that price......Hello.....Child Labor Laws........We needed at least 10 but they wouldn't budge so we walked out. We are asking as friends if you would please not take your kids to go see it. (J/K)

Bryan's Visit From Japan

Bryan, the President/King/Chief/Leader of the Japan Pair branch blog flew over seas to see us along with the rest of the family and his other friends. Bryan currently lives in Japan with his wife Noako and his son Noah teaching English. It was nice to just sit and spend some time with him, since we don't get to see him that often. While he was here Kristi, Addyson, Bryan, and their parents went over to Colfax to visit Grandma Betty and to spend some family time together. Other than that we mainly just sat, talked, and watched some episodes of the Office (Since he doesn't get to watch it in Japan.) We already can't wait till the next time we get to see him and we REALLY can't wait to see Noah and Noako the next time they come. Here is a couple of picture of him and Addyson.

Ryan's Mom and Grandma!!

Last week my grandma and my mom came to visit us for a couple of days. This was the first time they had a chance to see Addyson in person. They were very excited to see her and Kristi and I were both excited to have them even if it was only for a short period of time. While they were here besides spending time with Addyson they redid my bathroom, redecorated some parts of our house, cook some good meals, and adventured out to a pumpkin patch/corn maze with us. We had a great time and it was sad to see them go, although if they stayed Kristi and I would probably have to file for bankruptcy with all the projects we did with them.(J/K) Here is a picture of my mom at the pumpkin patch with Addyson and then a picture of my mom and grandma holding her. ENJOY!!

Charlie Brown and the Pumpkin Patch

Ok!! It's not Charlie Brown but it is Addyson. Last week, Kristi, Addyson and I went to the Woodinville Pumkin Patch along with my Grandma, Mom, and Kristi's Mom. As you can see she wasn't awake for most of it but we thought it was a lot of fun. We can't wait till next year when she can actually help us pick out a pumpkin and have us help her carve it out. All in all it was a perfect day, except when we were leaving Kristi went to go and get some Kettle Corn (SURPRISE!!) and they told her there was a 45 minute wait....YES...45 Minutes for Kettle Corn. All I can say is I should have taken some pictures of her cursing out the workers. She might of actually hit one them with there big stir stick but I'm not sure.

Doesn't Know What to Think

Addyson was a little fussy after coming back from a walk. So Ryan grabbed the first thing he saw to entertain her. As soon as he started jiggling it in front of her she had a puzzled look on her face and didn't know what to think. He saw the camera on the couch and decided to capture this moment. It only worked for about 30 seconds and then she was crying again.

Grandma Karen is a babysitter

A couple weeks ago Kristi and I headed out the door for our first night without Addyson. We attended Michael and Leslie's wedding and Grandma Karen became our first official babysitter. I know there will be many times that Karen will help us when we have to head out the door but Kristi wanted to capture the very first time. It was a very nice wedding but it was hard not to think about Addyson while we were there. Kristi was able to catch up with some old friends from college and have her first beer since being pregnant. We only were able to stay until 8 because we had to go and pick up Addyson but we felt it was a huge success and a lot of fun.

Great Grandma Betty

Two weeks ago Karen, Kristi, Addyson, and I made the big trek over to Colfax to visit Great Grandma Betty. It was a long drive, but it was nice to take some time to go over there and say hi . On the way there and on the way back we stopped and grabed a burger and fries at Tim's parents Campus-U-Totem. We were only able to spend a couple of nights, but it was still a real nice visit. It was the first time Grandma had a chance to see and hold her and we already can't wait to go back.

Nice Fall Day

Addyson, Kristi, and I decided to take our real first walk during a beautiful fall day and test out our brand new Baby Bajorn. We really have to send out a big thanks to Aunt Kathie and Uncle Gary for giving it to us as a gift. I know this is only our first time using it but we absolutely love it. It is so comfortable. It makes walking Riley so much easier. Today, I took only 10 steps and Addyson fell asleep. We LOVE this thing.

First Kiss

A couple of weeks ago Kai and Ryean-Marie, some friends of ours came over to visit Kristi and Addyson. Kristi started taking some pictures of Kai holding Addyson when he leaned over and gave Addyson her first kiss. I can't believe that this has already started. I thought I at least had 16 years before I had to worry about my little girl kissing cute boys. Oh ya, Ryan if this happens to work out, we are splitting the wedding cost 70 - 30. You get the 70 of course.

Bath Time

I'm really sorry about this picture being out of focus. I really didn't want to post it but Kristi really likes it. I accidently moved when I pressed the button. I blame it on the 8.0 earthquake we had right at the exact time I took the photo, but Kristi says she didn't feel anything. I think shes lying!!!

Addyson isn't exactly ready for the jetted tub yet, but she is ready for the 16 by 21 inch Graco 1700 LSP bath tub for infants. Here is a picture that we captured during her bath time. She does pretty well for the most part but we can't keep her in there for two long. I do have to admit she is very adorable in her pink hooded towel when we dry her off.

First Walk

A couple of weeks after Addyson was born we decided to take her for her first walk. We only went down to the end of the block but it was a huge success. We taught her how to look each way before crossing the street and to bundle up on a chilly September night. If your curious the stroller rolled like a new car right of the lot.

It's official

Hello everyone. We finally have started Addyson's blog that I have been telling people about. I hope I can be as good as Lori when it comes to posting pictures and updates about what Addyson is up too.
