Enjoying the Weather

Addison had a great time playing outside this evening once the weather cooled down. It wasn't long before she decided to go for a walk, and mom and dad weren't invited!

Happy Mother's Day!

Addison got me an ice cream cake from DQ for Mother's Day, and we went out to eat at one of my favorite restaurants. Addison finally had her one year appointment today. It was supposed to be in April, but we had to postpone it, because she went to spend a week with grandma and grandpa in April. She weighs 22 pounds, is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. She has 11 teeth now. About six of them came in at once. I planted some flowers in the front yard yesterday....summer is coming (I think??). Here are some pics from the last week.

"This is good, mommy!"


"Love you, Mommy!"









"Hello!"


"Hello! Is anyone there? Hello???"


She loves her new hat!








She loves cleaning up the dog bowls when Ellie and Wrigley are done eating.




"All done! Look what I did!"

13 Months Old!

Okay...so I'm going to try and put more pictures on here this month. So, here are a few pictures from the last couple of days. Addison has a few new favorite things. She loves to try and put her socks on her feet. Of course, she isn't coordinated enough to get them on, but she sure loves to try. She still loves to dig the tupperware out of the drawers, but now she finds just the right size, stuffs her socks in it, puts on the correct lid, and then brings the container to us proudly showing off what she has accomplished. It's pretty funny!

April Update

I'm sorry there haven't been any new posts for those who check for updates, but April was a pretty crazy month. After Addison's birthday, I got in a car accident. I decided it might be fun to try and rear-end a cop at about 50 mph. It turned out to be not so much fun afterall :( I got a little closer to the airbag than I wanted, and my face was burned/scraped from the impact of the bag. My ankle was also sprained, and my arms were cut and bruised. The car was totaled. Thank goodness Addison wasn't with. Two days after the accident we traveled to Minnesota for my brother's wedding. It was a lot of fun, but I wish I would have been able to move around like normal. My face started to heal pretty quickly, and by the day of the wedding, it looked much better.

Addison has been moving right along. She finally decided that she didn't want to crawl around like the dogs and has started walking full time. Her one year molars came in this month. We didn't care for that experience, and neither did she! April also brought new hardwood floors in our dining room and kitchen (thanks for putting the floor in Dad!), and new carpet throughout the house. The weather is starting to get nice, and the sunshine is making it hard to go into work every morning!


Nick and Katie's big day!
