Our Sweet Girl

Addie had her one month Dr. appointment today. She was 10 lbs 1 oz (75th percentile) and 21.25 inches (50th percentile). We can't believe how fast this past month has flown by. We cherish each and every day with our sweet girl. We love her so much. She truly is precious. Here is a slide show of the past month.

ONE WEEK OLD

This photo was taken this morning before we got Addie ready for the day.


We could not decide between these next two photos which one should be her official one week old photo, so we decided to just posted them both... Enjoy.


We cannot believe that one week has already flown by with our little girl. Another side note... Addie had her 48 hour checkup a few days ago and everything is healthy and well. She is in the 50th percentile for everything the doctor measured.

First time in her car seat on the way home from the hospital.


Another photo of Addie May on her way home from the hospital.


This is on her way to her 48 hour check up with the doctor.

Just as a side note, I hope all of these posts are not overkill. Yes we are proud parents, but it is also the only way for our families to be involved in Addie's life right now while we are living in Chicago. It is also very helpful to some of the grandparents and great grandparents who are not very tech savvy but have managed to figure out how to blog.

Bath and naps...

Instead of daddy daughter time, we call this "daddy Addie time"


Addie took her first bath at home today and she actually really enjoyed it.


Look at those cheeks and double chin...don't you just want to eat her up?

Happy Anniversary!!! (yesterday)

Happy Anniversary Dear. Sorry I did not post this yesterday. I love you so much. You make me completely happy. You are so wonderful and totally amazing. I cannot believe that 3 of the most wonderful years of my life have come and gone. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!

The White Coat

A week and a half ago, Dave had his white coat ceremony at school. Since he is a student, the white coat is short in length and signifies the beginning of patient care for the future Dr. Graham. The ceremony was short and sweet, and it truly honored the students and all their hard work. Way to go Davebo!

My Mom and Grandma came in for the weekend. It just happened to be my Grandma's birthday that day, and I was excited 

to have some other opinions for nursery decor.

Derrick, Dave, and Brian--Podiatrists in the making. Don't they look official?

It was a special day between Grandma's birthday and Dave's ceremony. Congratulations sweetie!

Finally some nice weather...time to skate!

Baby Shower

A few weeks ago, I headed home to California for a quick visit.  While I was there, Denise, a good family friend, threw me a baby shower. It was so much fun to visit with family and friends on this beautiful sunny day. I loved all the pink! It was a perfect day. 

I loved all the little girly details!

Amy made these delicious cupcakes and adorable centerpieces. 

My good friend Emily is due two weeks before me with a baby girl. I think these two girls are going to be great friends. 

Here are my two wonderful grandmas and my mom. I can't wait to take another generation photo when this baby gets here!

St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patrick's Day, Dave and I headed into the city for a little Irish celebration. Chicago has a river that runs through the middle of the city, and they dye the river green for St. Patrick's Day. As  you can see, the river turns a bright neon green for a couple hours. We also tried to see part of a parade, but there were so many people there we finally gave up. It was a fun, cold, green filled day!

Of course, we had to stop by "The Bean." As you can see in the reflection, there was quite a bit of green in the city of Chicago. 

The Great Debate

Over the past few months, Dave and I have been debating on what crib to get. Many times, the crib issue was just dropped to ease the tension regarding "the crib." We were finally able to narrow down our choices to two. Dave had his top choice, and I had mine. It came down to a final phone call to my mom to choose which she liked better...Dave won. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the "other" crib. Dave 1 Kenna 0. Here's the crib and the bedding (I did get to pick the bedding) in all its glory. 

Pink, Green, & Polka Dots

Last weekend, my friend Michelle and I threw a baby shower for our friend Kira. She's having a little girl at the beginning of April. Her colors are pink and green, and we decided on a polka dot theme. It was a fun day, and Kira got lots of cute things for baby Conley. Thanks to all who came! 

Kira & Jackie 

Everyone did a great job on the food. It was delicious. As you can see, we really tried to maintain the theme even with the food. 

Michelle made this adorable diaper cake. I got the idea of the polka dot decorations from my friend's website www.marrymemarryme.com. 


This isn't the best picture, but I have gotten several requests for an updated picture. This is the only recent one I have!
