The word has it at VanKampen that I'm a gigglepuss!
Look, mommy and I have matching hats!
I went shopping with "da girls" and had so much fun!
Aunt Ernie came to see me!!!
And she gave me this boogabear hat!
Addison is 3 months!
Sorry we haven't blogged in a few weeks. We were wanting to post her professional photo session but haven't gotten those pictures back so we will just have to do with Mom's mug shots :) Addie is getting so big as you can see. Really starting to fill out her clothes and is lifting her head all the way during tummy time! Brian swears she is going to crawl next month. Let's hope not, we don't want her growing up too fast!
still smiling!
Addison is a happy baby as you can see. She is just starting to wear her 3 month old outfits! It's fun to have new clothes to wear but breaks our hearts that the little 0 month outfits have to be put away :(
The big girl bracelet
This is Mommy and Daddy's first gift to their little girl. It's hard to see but there is a charm with her birthstone.
A is for Addie!
Aunt Alisa gave her this shirt! Can you believe there is a Chicago El stop named after her? Atleast this is what we will tell her when she grows up.
Addie's new toys
Not that we staged this photo or anything, but isn't it sweet how she is hugging her babydoll?!
4 generations
Yes there are 4 generatons of the Mautes here. We are so proud!
I love my cousins!
Addie has this infatuation with her cousins. She is so in love with them and is very peaceful in their arms.
I'm a ballerina!
Yes, this is a tulle skirt just for our little ballerina in the making. Thank you Aunt Alisa!
Addison's first Christmas!
She slept through most of the Christmas festivities but looked so cute in her outfits!
Chillin with Daddy
Addie loves when Daddy comes home from work so she can cuddle
Tummy time
As you can see, she is trying so hard to push up. She's good on the tummy for about 20 minutes and then usually gets frustrated. One day soon Addie, just keep working at it!
Starting to notice her toys!
Addie was in her chair one morning and all of the sudden noticed the bunny. It was really cute, she let out a big giggle!
Addison is 2 months!
Happy girl!
One of the many cute Addie faces
What is she dreaming about?
What I want for Christmas Santa...
I just want some paci's and lots of milk!
First visit to Santa!
We were so excited because the line looked short...little did we know that once you get inside of Santa's house the line suddenly doesn't move. Addie was so good until right before we were to go meet Santa and she was suddenly VERY HUNGRY! We made it though and she was seriously so excited and comforted to meet Santa!
Grandmommy LiNelle's visit to the Windy and Cold City
and grandmommy only left the house once the whole week she was here, can you blame her?!
Getting ready for Debbie's shower
Addison is 7 weeks!
The new position! Grandmommy LiNelle helped her discover this new position and it even counts for tummy time!
Relaxing after some turkey
Turkey time
Addie was exhausted after turkey day!
Little Poodle
Wearing mom's smocked dress
Yes, this is Sharon's dress that she wore when she was little if you can believe it!
I'm a model, you know what I mean
Addie wasn't able to do any turns on the catwalk, but she did do exceptionally well for some still shots. She was obsessing over the paci the whole time but managed to get the job done so I would leave her alone and she could have the paci back!
Taking a nap
We were exhausted after all of the friends came over!
Addison's new friend
On Sunday we had lots of friends over and Addison had so much fun meeting all of them. This cutie with her is Kaitlyn Tamlyn.
I love my daddy!
These two fell asleep friday night by 9:30 pm...it was a long week!
Tummy time
Addison is getting really good at this. I did see her this week lift her head and turn it to the other side. Such a big girl but please don't grow up on us too fast!
Getting prissy in the ballerina outfit
We have 4 ballerina outfits right now, luckily in all different sizes so she can never be without one!
5 weeks old!
Thank goodness for these pacifiers called "Soothies." They are a lifesaver and Addison is in love with them!
1 month old!
Aunt Kristy came over to celebrate and brought pizza, such a good friend!
and I smile again, awake!
OK, gramdmommy wanted this documented, I am now just short of 1 month old
a new accessory in the nursery
uncle Steff
and he was afraid to hold a newborn...
Grandpa Bill
snug as a bug with my grandpa
great grandma
still no name for her yet but I do love those scratchy hands
Aunt Beth
she's a good cook too and her boys were really nice to me...they were not jealous at all that I am now the youngest Maute member :)
Aunt Nancy
She's a good cook and and hostess
meeting cousins Amy and Erica
My first smile!
We were taking a walk and mommy stopped dead in her tracks and couldn't believe I was already smiling! This is 11/5, I am 2 weeks and 6 days old
3 weeks old!
Just because mom was a ballerina doesn't mean I have to be one too!!
2 weeks old!
I can sort of wear my newborn outfits, just a little big on me
Happy Halloween!
I'm such a good model for mommy
my first bath (at home)
mommy and daddy have no idea what they are doing and I am cold!!!
I love my new family
they are naturals with a baby :)
aunt Ernie and Uncle Ben
they came all the way from DC just to see me for my arrival home!
Grandaddy George!
he is so cosey and fun to snuggle with. He couldn't believe how tiny little Addie was when he saw her for the first time.
Mole', we miss him!
For those of you that don't know, our beloved Mole' passed away on Oct 26th, just 3 days after Addie's homecoming. It was a freak accident and everyone was really upset by the unfortunate incident. Brian and I love him so dearly and just feel at peace that he did not have to suffer for one minute. He was the sweetest dog ever and just loved jumping in peoples laps, which is ironically how he left this world. We will always remember our 1st baby and will make sure that Addie knows all about her brother. He was getting along really well wth Addie and was her guard dog for a few days...
Grandmommy and I have a special bond
She stayed up many nights with me when I first got home so mommy and daddy could get some sleep. Oh and she named me "boogabear," not sure where that came from but it's cute and we like it :)
Addie made it home!
And here come 4 flights of stairs!!
car ride home
my eyes are about to bust out of my head!!
going home
Freaked out to leave the hospital!!!
aunt alisa and uncle chris
proud first aunt and uncle :)
I love great grandma!
Addie's own name for Grandma will be determined when Addie can name her
happy family

I'm 1 week old!
Look at my tootsies
I'm a fighter
but then she was ok!!!
poor peanut
she needed breathing tubes...
proud parents
yes, those are tears coming down Brian's face
Holding Addison for the first time
It's a girl!!! The greatest moment ever! Brian said I would have jumped off the table if I could.
Before the big arrival
The end of summer with Addison...still wondering if it's a boy or girl??! Brian and I first thought it was a girl but then by the end we were convinced it was a boy for two reasons. 1. Everyone and their mom told me I was carrying like it was a boy. 2. At my last ultrasound I thought for sure I saw something down there...must have been some bubbles in the fluid. Good thing I'm not an MD!
Sweet Angel
