Spring Can't Tell Time

Spring came a little early at The La Trobe Household. It's obvious that Spring can't tell time!

My Little Valentine

Since I had to work on Valentines Day, Daddy & Addison used a little "Modern Technology" to send me the most wonderful Valentine EVER!

It's a chronical of the progress of the Cliff Drive house.
Check out what it was to what it is today!

Our Little Sailor

A few weeks back we spent the day on the boat and to our amazement Addison loved it. There are so many cool things new things for her to see and hear, the birds, passing boats, the sound of the waves hitting the bottom of the boat, and the rocking...she loved the rocking!

Little Ham

It's a little hard to make out, but Addisons shirt says "Little Ham". We are quickly finding out that she loves the camera and being video taped so we think this shirt is perfect for her!

Im Swinging!!

Addison had a Play Date at the park last week with Abby our neighbor. It was her first time in the swing and she loved it!! Sorry for the audio and the jumpy camera it's kind of hard to "let go" to film. Im sure this wont be the only time in her life I'll have a hard time "letting go".

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.
