Do you see what I see?

We've officially got a meat eater on our hands....Ms. Addison's first tooth has popped through!!! And believe me she has no mercy on your fingers. The other big news is that she rolled over from her back to her stomach. She'll soon be mobile and we'll all be in trouble.

Mr. Aidan is continuing with his Taekwondo and is really enjoying it. The other day I walked into the kitchen to find him holding onto the counter and "knee striking" the cupboard door. He also enjoys running in the house and showing us his "flying sidekick"!

We also finally got some snow down here in VA! Aidan went sledding and loved it. He couldn't quite get the concept of snow melting though.

We had a very nice superbowl Sunday with friends. And now Amanda's lifelong dream of making the Kocher family blog has come true!

I'm finally getting around to posting some Christmas pictures. Aidan was very excited to visit Pennsylvania because he was able to go sled riding!!! He really enjoyed playing Polar Bear in the snow. Addison has hit a new milestone...she ate her first oatmeal cereal. Well, most of it ended up on her shirt, but she made a great effort. She's 5 months old now.

Decorating the tree...Aidan enjoyed it, but Addison wasn't in the Christmas spirit!

A Christmas wish from Aidan...

Aidan turns 3!!!!

Madagascar Cake

Well, we can't believe Aidan has turned 3! He wanted a Madagascar cake this year and all I have to say is Thank God for McDonald's Madagascar toys! I was getting a little nervous about this cake. We had a little pizza party at our house and Aidan had a lot of fun.

Ms. Addison is also growing very quickly. She's awake a lot more during the day and reacts to things and people around her more as well. She's an excellent sleeper so far and we're very happy about that. She takes a morning nap for about an hour and usually a 3-4 hour afternoon nap. Then she'll go to bed about 9 and sleeps through until 7:30! Of course though, now Aidan has decided it's his turn to start waking up in the middle of the night because he's scared. It's a good thing I sleep with earplugs because sometimes I don't even know he woke up the night before!

We've decorated our house for Christmas and we're slowly shopping. We look forward to a trip to PA for the holidays!

Addison loves her bath!

Addison playing peek-a-boo with daddy

We took the kids to the Richmond Metro Zoo a few weekends ago. Aidan had a lot of fun feeding the animals and Addison slept most of the time. We're all doing very well. Addison is now sleeping about 10 hours at night so we are all catching up on some sleep. I started back to work last week and that's been a very hard transition for me. Luckily, Brad is able to take 2 weeks off at work so he's home right now with the kids. We're looking forward to some time off during Thanksgiving with Aunt Judy, Mimi and Papa. Then back to work for a few weeks and 2 weeks off for Christmas. We'll be traveling to PA and dress shopping with Aunt Laura for her wedding....that doesn't give me much more time to lose the rest of this weight! Looking forward to seeing family over the holidays. Hope everyone is well!
