Summer Fun

Addison is 9 months old. We had a fun start to Summer already. She went to the Dells with her aunts, uncles and cousins and loved the water park.

We also got to join up with our Mom's Group friends again. We go to the park and do many other fun things together.

Today we got to watch our little girl master crawling across her bedroom for the very first time (usually she gives up)...Way to go Addison! She also can walk along furniture too. It is time to baby proof EVERYTHING! She's fast-it's so fun watching her grow right before our eyes.

We've had a great start to my new summer "job", being a stay-at-home (summer) Mom! And Larry has one month of his family leave (he saved for Summer) so he'll be with us too starting in a week!

Hope you are having a great Summer!

Addison is growing up!

Our First Family Trip

Addison loved her first vacation getaway to Florida. We spent the last 6 days in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. She (well, all of us actually) loved the warm 80's weather, spending time at the beach and the water excursions.

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!

5 months old

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!!!
