Addison Learns a New Trick...

Addison's new trick is to sit up by herself. She has been trying very hard for the last few weeks but she's little Ms. Independent now. She really doesn't tip over anymore expect for when we really put her toys (or any objects for that matter) out of her reach and she leaps for them and tumbles over.

She also figured out how to get out of tummy time! She learned that if she just rolls over (immediately-) when put on her tummy, she can solve that problem! It's pretty funny.

I think we'll soon be Addison-proofing our house because she'll be into everything real soon! We just love her so much. Our only complaint is she's just growing up way TOO fast!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Just a quick update on our "little princess." My niece Claudia wanted Addison to try on her little tiara and I think she loved wearing it (just for the picture).

Addison is enjoying "drinking" sips of water from her sippy cup. She can hold the little handles and bringing it to her mouth although we're not too sure how much she is really actually drinking. It's fun to watch!

She is such a good sleeper and just loves being read to, listening to music, talked to, swinging, bouncing in her jumper, playing with ALL her toys. Oh yes, and eating!!!

Addison is getting tired of all this cold weather. She convinced us we needed to book a trip to Florida over Spring Break to enjoy some warmer weather. So, we went shopping and she picked out a cute pair of sunglasses, we're all set to go! (Well, I'll let you know if it turns out to be that simple-hee-hee)! We had to try them out on her and pretend we were somewhere tropical so I guess we'll have to continue to do that until March.

She is now rolling from her front to her back and vice versa now too. She just learned how to take her Nuk out and put it back in her mouth by herself as well. She also loves to play with her feet and toes!

Addison loves going to her sitter's house and her son too. We call him her "boyfriend" - Larry says she can't kiss him though until she's 30. I don't know - just the other day when Larry dropped her off, they were already holding hands. Michelle said they just love to play and interact with other throughout the day. It is fun she has a little playmate and Michelle is great with Addison also. We're so thankful all is well!

Until next time, stay warm!

Happy New Year!

We want to wish everyone a Happy 2009! We had a great 1st Christmas with our new addition.

We started feeding her rice cereal (as she'll be turning 4 months in a week) and is ready for some food! She really enjoys food (just like her Mom and Dad) as you can see.

You also might notice in the pictures she has some "new teeth" that came in, hee-hee! No, not really but our friend Charlie Andrews thought this would be the perfect nuk for Addison...Billy Bob style!

Playtime

Addison is having so much fun with her interactive toys. She loves to explore all the lights and music. She asked Santa for a jumper/bouncer toy, so we'll just have to wait and see. She's been such a good girl!!!

Addison Meets Donald!!!

Oh yes, you guessed it! Addison had the pleasure to meet Donald Driver at his book signing!!!!!!!!!!!

He recently published a children's book and was signing it at a Piggly Wiggly in Appleton. He actually remembered touching my pregnant belly during training camp over the summer (because of course I had to ask) and then asked Larry if he was taking good care of "his girls"!

Then we talked some more and when we were leaving he said he hoped to see me again real soon! No joke-Now don't you think if he thought I was a crazy stalker, he wouldn't verbally invite me to see him again?!? (hee-hee....)

Oh, Addison was such a good girl probably because she feels the Packer pride too! She waited in line with us for the 1 1/2 hours to see him too and was probably enjoying his shiny earrings! Donald talked with Addison too and told her she was cute! We love you Donald!

Enjoy the photo-we had 3 of them taken by Larry and it was SO funny. The first one Donald blinked, the second one he was licking his lips, and then we had the third one (which was a charm)!
