Addie's Monthly Photo
All about Addie
New Injury - On 4/15, Addie decided to take the plunge off of our pool table and onto the carpet. We feared the worst and figured she broke every bone in her foot (or perhaps re-injured her previous injury on her ankle). After X-rays though, nothing seemed to be broken. Her doctor advised us to have her wear the boot for a few weeks and rest as much as possible to let any swelling go down.
Cruise - To sum it up, Addie was in her element on this cruise ship. There were princesses everywhere and even though she didn't get a chance to meet Elsa, she was able to meet with her other favorite princess on several occasions (Rapunzel). I would say her favorite part of the trip was most definitely "being" a princess and meeting so many princesses on a daily basis. The great thing about Disney is that EVERYWHERE you go on the ship, the crew will address your little one as "prince" or "Princess". It makes these kids feel like true royalty.

All about Cooper
Cruise - Cooper definitely loved our trip. I'd say he's still at that "whiny" age where naps are a necessity and moods are unpredictable, so it's not as easy for him to enjoy himself unless he's being entertained 100% of the time. With that said, Disney did a great job of keeping him entertained as much as possible. His favorite part was probably playing on the sand at Castaway Cay but a close runner up was touring the ship. Every time our room door opened, he wanted to bolt and head straight for the elevators to start touring.
Flirt - We are now at a stage where Cooper loves to "flirt". Of course all of the girls that he flirts with are much older than him, but it is very cute to see him try to interact or catch their eyes. On the cruise, he seemed particularly drawn to the princesses... I guess he will be looking for the high maintenance women later on in life ;)
All about Aribelle
Strange Moods - From the beginning of this month and for about two weeks, we started seeing a very moody side of Aribelle. She wasn't sleeping well and when she was awake she was very cranky. Shane and I cringed because we thought for sure we were going to get another colicky or acid-reflux baby. Luckily, her mood faded when we started putting her in a reclined basinet for bed and naps.
Super Nana - Because of Aribelle's age, we did not take Aribelle on vacation with us but we knew she would be in great hands with her Nana. Lucky for us, we received plenty of pictures and updates from my mom throughout our trip. Of course it was difficult to leave my new baby girl, but I knew my mom would take great care of her.
All Giggles - Before we left, while I was changing her Aribelle let out a little giggle when I tickled her belly. While we were on our trip, Nana said she was a little giggle box! What a happy baby.
