Addison has the Giggles

For the past few months, Addison & I have been attending "Baby Boot Camp" it's a really cool way to meet other moms and their kids and get a good workout in to boot! The Huntington Beach Independent Newspaper recently came out and interviewed our instructor & some of the moms. Addison got her first taste of celebrity...we made the front page!! Here is a link to the article...Enjoy

We recently introduced "Big Girl" food to Addison. She is handling the transition like a pro. She loves to sit in her Bumbo and eat lunch & dinner with us. She is very "vocal" about her likes and dislikes. So far we have introduced Peas, Green Beans, Squash, & Carrots. Check out her reaction to some of them.

PS...check out her super cute bib!!

Look at me I'm such a big girl....I love me some peas

...but I'm not a fan of those stinkin' carrots!

This Collage is a few months old, but I couldn't resist, and just had to add it.

Brett was bummed that the dogs didn't even get mentioned on our Christmas Card this year. So to make it up, Im giving the dogs the a posting before Addison...they are our first babies after all!! These pictures were taken on a recent trip to Paso Robles. Bella, our English Mastiff is a whopping 160 lbs, while our Lab, Jake is no shy eater himself, weighing in at 125 lbs. That's a lot of dog to love...and we do!! And boy, do they love Addison, she receives daily licks and sniff overs! We are just one big happy family!

The La Trobe Family Tree

Welcome to our new blog, "The La Trobe Family Tree". We will be posting lots of fun photos and sharing many interesting facts and tid bits about our family. Now that Addison has joined us we thought this would be the best way to share things with our family and friends. We hope you visit our blog often and enjoy watching our family tree grow.
