Play dates, parties, busy times

Addison had her first play date this weekend with Alex DuBay!!! I think they had a good time together. Alex was a little sad but he was in a new place with a lot of new people and he just bought a new car. It is tough to buy a car!!

Addison being very sleepy. I used to sleep just like that.


Addison all dressed up for a night on the town!!!

I really like this picture of Addison and Carter. It looks like she is kissing him on the head!!

I love my Daddy!!! Happy Fathers Day!!!

Ready for Summer!!!

Tomorrow is my last day of school with kids for the year!!!!! I am so excited to spend time with Addison this summer and it is going to be filled with bike rides, walks, swimming, and all sorts of other fun things that mommy can think of! I did get roped into working one day a week for three hours with a little boy who has autism who goes to PV. I was kind of looking forward to it until I found out that he is an eye gauger, hair puller, and pincher!! It is only Wednesday mornings for three hours. I am looking at it as a little extra spending money for us this summer. Addison goes into the doc for her 9 month check-up on Monday so it should be interesting to see what she weighs and how long she is. I cannot believe my little peanut is nine months old. It seems like yesterday that I held her for the first time up in Iowa City. I was so afraid that I was going to break her then. She was so small. It is hard to believe that is how she started out. She has grown into this fun loving, belly laughing, bundle of joy that always wakes up with a smile on her face. OK, she does cry to get our attention but the minute she sees Ryan or I standing by the crib, she is smiling. She is the biggest flirt I have ever met and I think her daddy and I will have our hands full when she gets older. Her latest thing is when someone is looking at her, she will lean her head to the side and smile at them. I am still trying to get a picture of it but I am not quick enough. So to sum it up, Wednesday is my last official day of school and then it is me and the peanut all summer long!!!!!!

Go Red Sox!!

Today we enjoyed a lazy Saturday (they are the best kind). Addison, Hank and I went on an hour long walk this morning while Ryan worked in the garden. Then we hung out under the tree in our front yard and let Addison play on a sheet in the grass. Here are some shots of her in her daddy's Red Sox cap. She always laughs at him when he wears it so we thought we would try it on her. Later tonight is my ten year class reunion (YIKES)! It seems crazy to think that I have been out of high school for ten years! I am not sure that there is going to be a great turnout but we will see!!!

Here are a couple of cute photos. Addison loves her Hanky man! She also loves hanging out with her cousin Colton!!!!

New Pictures

Information about me:

I love putting my feet in my mouth. I love to smile. I love my puppy Hank and his kisses and my kitty Daisy (even though Daisy avoids me because I pull out her hair). I love to eat and get so excited when I see my bottle. When I get really excited, I look like I am conducting a band because I am waving my arms around so much. I have a great mommy and daddy and I love them to pieces. I like to blow bubbles and I drool a lot. When I see my mommy or daddy after they get off work, I put both my hands on their face like I am saying "This is my mommy/daddy". When I am really tired, I like to have my hand in or near my mommy or daddy's mouth (a little weird, yes but adorable).

I love the excersaucer at my grandma's house. I am still a little short for the one at my house but this one fits me just right!!!





Mommy and Me.

I love my Auntie Jo!!

I have started using a sippy cup but not all the time. I am not very good at it yet. When I get really hungry, I like to eat my feet!!! =]

Yes, it has been awhile!

It has been awhile since I posted and I am not really sure where the time has gone!!! All of a sudden we have 23 days left of school (which I am very excited about). I am so ready for a fun filled summer with my little peanut. She is getting so big and learning so many new things. She is just starting to sit up on her own, she can stand up while holding onto toys/funiture without my support for about 15 seconds, and she just learned how to take the stars off the ring stacker at Grandma's house. It is amazing how fast they grow and it has been an even more amazing journey for us and Addison considering where she started. For awhile, I thought we were never going to get out of the hospital because she wouldn't eat. Last night she finished half a container of carrots and a whole container of pears plus 2 ounces of formula. She is a little porker!!!!!

Miracle

Addison's new excersaucer. She hasn't quite figured out that she can turn around plus she is still a little short. She is standing on a phone book at the moment.

My aunt got Addison this Miracle onsie that I have wanted to get her picture taken in but haven't had the chance. Tonight I thought I would get some candid shots of her just to see how they would turn out. Everyday she does something that is so amazing to me. She is my little miracle.

Weekend Happenings

These are some photos with her and her cousin Jaxson!! The bottom one she is kinda lookin' out of the corner of her eye at him.

This past weekend, Ryan's family had a shower for Addison since all of our shower plans were ruined when she arrived 9 weeks early. It was tons of fun plus I was able to get things like diapers, wipes, baby food, and other types of things that she needs!!! She is doing great with cereal and we are starting vegies. She likes green beans!!! We were also supposed to witness Jaxson's baptism but since they predicted the weather to be so bad we had to come home early. =[ Addison has started rolling over from back to front (only from left to right). She is not an ambi-roller yet. =] Now she rolls all over the room. I guess it is time to think about baby proofing!! Congrats to Matt and Laura on their new addition, Carter Thomas Hatz!!!!!
