January- On January 11th we heard the baby's heart beat for the first time! I stayed sick most of the month so we didn't get out much.

February- Daddy's Birthday, another doctors appointment. We bought your stroller, car seat, pack and play, and your swing.

March- On March 15th we found out that we were having a baby girl! We also found out that my placenta was low and that there was possibly a stomach problem with the baby. We were sent to a specialist (which I loved) and found out everything was great! Addyson Brooke Manning was born March 3rd.

April- We met with the lady to have your bedding made. I was super excited about this. It ended up turning out beautiful!


May- We had another dr. appointment. School finally let out, and the school had our first baby shower!

June- We got our 4D sonogram done. The sonographer also checked all of your organs out with the highpowered sonogram machine. It was neat to see how your blood flowed through your body. We also had your baby shower and got tons of great gifts!

July- We waited around and got ready for you. Daddy got your nursery put together. We also had maternity pictures made!

We spent the night at GGs house on Christmas Eve! Your first Christmas was white! You slept thru New Year's Eve! It was very rainey so we stayed in the house to avoid all of the crazy people who would be out on the roads!

My Baby Clothes Boutique

Last Chance Sale - 10% off everything - no minimums. Started yesterday!!!!! Ends Jan. 2nd Spread the word..... Time to get new clothes for the new arrivals! I am even more pleased than ever with My Baby Clothes Boutique and let me tell you why! Last Tuesday I found the most beautiful dress on the holiday clearance sale for Sagey. I ordered it in next years size because it was almost noon and Christmas Even was Friday. Well, we are sitting in our living room preparing for Christmas on Christmas Eve and we have a knock on the door. It is the mail carrier with the box from My Baby Clothes Boutique. These people got my order to me before Christmas, I am still in shock. That shows that this is a carrying company! If you haven't shopped with them before now is the time to do it! They have precious baby socks, tutus, baby headbands, and baby hats!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so much fun since Sagey is here! It was last Christmas when we finally announced that we were going to be having a baby, so having her with us this year made it even more special! We woke up super early on Christmas Eve and went to pick up some last minute gifts. We also went searching for some pecans that were already shelled, but everyone was already sold out. We finished our shopping, ate some breakfast, and headed home!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is cooking all day day on Christmas Eve. I made tons of treats: sausage balls, turtles, cinnamon pecans, Gooey Butter Cake, and Chex Mix Blizzard. I cooked all day! Mom came and asked if Sagey could go spend the day with her and Pop and I let her go. I got almost all of my washing finished, the house picked up, and a 30 minute nap!

Around 7 P.M. we headed to Granny's. It is a tradition for us to open gifts there really late. We had a great time with family! Robyn and I got a new wireless printer! Sagey got an outfit, light up aquarium, and toy. Lolly brought her a photo album and book there! Robyn and I gave Sagey her Christmas Eve pajamas! It is tradition in our family for everyone to get pajamas on Christmas Eve and wear them that night!

We stayed the night with Granny and Sagey did great!

Tooth Number 2

Brynley Sage already has tooth number 2! I found it Monday morning! My precious baby got 2 teeth in 5 days! And to top it off, had her ears pierced in between! I sure hope Santa is EXTRA good to my little angel! She sure deserves it after all this, and she hasn't even been fussy!!

Santa's Wonderland

Sunday we took Brynley Sage and Addy Brooke to see Santa at his Wonderland at the Bass Pro Shop in Leeds. Everyone else was there, too... The line was wrapped around the store. They gave out passes and we had a 3 hour wait. Not good when you didn't bring a stroller and you have a baby who wants to sit straight up. I fixed Brynley's car seat so she could sit straight up by putting blankets behind her! Then out of the blue a woman was standing beside me asking if the girls were twins. I told her no. She just kept on and on about how beautiful they were. In a minute she was back with a ticket to see Santa right then! Yes, that precious woman saved us!!! We were able to walk right up to Santa, and only waited about an hour total! We ended up getting tons of pictures! We will definitely go back next year, except I will take off during the week to take her!

Pierced Ears

Saturday was the big day to take Sagey to get her ears pierced! I was as nervous as could be. Lolly, Granny Bob, myself, and Robyn all went for Sagey's big day!!! We picked out some cute earrings, then I sat in the corner while Lolly held her. She cried for about 2 minutes after she got her ears pierced, and has been fine ever since. Her daddy went CRAZY when he saw his baby crying. He said he had never felt like that before, but it killed him to see her in pain. Her earrings look super cute on her! I am glad we went ahead and had them done while she was so small!

First Tooth

Thursday we found your first tooth coming in! You love to rub your tounge up against it! You are becoming such a big girl way to fast! I have been thinking you were teething because you have been drooling so heavily! Now we know why!

4 Months

My sweet Brynley Sage! My how you are growing so fast. You are learning so much! I can't believe how you have grown in the last month. You are becoming quite a Daddy's Girl! Whenever you see him you go crazy! You smile and laugh! You love to lay in the bed and watch TV with him! You have been very, very sick for the last week. We took you in to see Dr. Farr a few days early because you were sick. He went ahead and gave you your 4 month shots which made things worse. You ran a temp of 102. You had a sore throat and you were hoarse. Lolly stayed off work one day to take care of you. You ate cereal for the first time also! The dr. said you probably wouldn't like it but boy was he wrong! You could not get to it fast enough! You are starting to get a little personality and I just love it! When you wake up in the mornings you have a big smile on your face! We had to give you a tad bit of juice because you wouldn't eat whiel you were sick. You seemed to like it, but hopefully you will not be getting anymore for a long time!

You weigh 14 lbs 8oz and are 25 inches long.

You eat 6 oz of formula.

You can roll over.

You love your jumper !

You still wear size 3 month clothes. Most of your Christmas Clothes are size 6 months so you are wearing them big!

You still love Elmo. I bought a Christmas bag with Elmo on it and you can't take your eyes off of it.

You are a very happy baby!
