Trying new foods

Today Addison got to try some new foods. For lunch she had a grilled cheese sandwich and of course she loved it, but whats not to love about cheese and bread!! For dinner she had ravioli and once again she loved it. I just realized she had a lot of cheese and carbs today oh well she's very active and she ate her green beans. We went shopping today with my mom and dad. I'm so happy that my dad went with us, if you know my dad you know he doesn't like to leave the house much. Mom got Addison her winter coat it's so cute it's pink of course and we got it from Gap, she also got her some outfits and a really cute dress to wear for her 9 month pictures. Yep that's right 9 months on Tuesday isn't that crazy? I don't know where the time has gone but sure has flown by. Well that's all for now talk to you soon.

We have a tooth!

Addison finally got her first tooth, it broke through the skin on Saturday. She has surprisingly done very well with she been a litte fussy but not horrible. If I cna get her to open her mouth for me I'll try to get a picture but she always keeps her tounge over her bottom gums and does not want anyone to look. The only way I can get her to let me look is by playing dentist! She gets to play with my teeth while I look at hers, you gotta do what ya gotta do!! Daddy got to spend his first night alone with Addison on Saturday while I babysat Carl and Eric Jr. overnight. Lets just say it didn't go to well for him. She went down around 8ish and woke back up at 10:45ish till 1:30 when he let her sleep with him so daddy got no sleep:( I told him welcome to parenthood he thought he had it so nice never getting up with her welcome to my world. Nothing else new really going on just enjoying the cooler weather. we are hoping to take Addison to a pumpkin patch sometime soon I can't wait.

Where have I been???

Wow I don't even know where to start. First of all sorry I haven't been on in awhile been pretty busy. I have started watching another baby Hayden a little boy. He is a very good and easy baby. Yay!!!! Addison has grown so much it's amazing. Recently she started cruising around her toys and the furniture and two days ago she walker with her push toy all around the living room!!! Can you believe she is already this big? Mom and Dad got her a walker a couple weeks ago because dad insisted she have one. And she loves it!!!! My friend Natascha gave me hers to have here and she loves walking around here. Addison has become such a little ham and loves to be the center of attention. She crinkles up her nose and breathes in and out of nose it's so cute she just recently mastered blowing raspberry's. I got the hiccups last night while holding her and she though that was hilarious!!!
I went to a consignment sell Wednesday that's here twice a year and got some amazing toys for Addison. I got her this little kitchen set that I had on her x-mas wish list that goes for $80 dollars and I got it for $12.50. Wow what a deal!!! I had it in the kitchen drying after I cleaned it and she crawled in there and saw it and started her happy screaming she loves it!!!! Well babies are up now I will try to post some pics later

Soccer Game

Yesterday we went and watched my cousin's soccer team play in Lexington at Asbury College. Before her game we got to take her out to lunch and visit with her for like 2 hours. We haven't seen her since March so it was nice to see her again. My family lives far away and we just don't get to see them enough, but when we do we have so much fun! We didn't get to see Lauren play, Addison was getting tired and fussy so we left at half time but I'm sure she kicked some butt. Addison made another milestone last night she climber the stairs at Omi's. I left her in the basement with Clint and my dad while I went on a walk and when I came back Clint told me that she got mad and went looking for me so she climbed the stairs. When I got back I had to see it for myself of course, so I went half way up the stairs and she climbed to me.
Addison is 8 months today!!!! I haven't got to take her 8 month picture yet so I will post it later but I am going to post her 7 month picture. Love you all. well it's not letting me download pics right now I'll try again later

Thanks so much to Brittany Cluver for these gorgeous pictures!!!!

mommy's girl

Addison is definitely a mommy's girl the past few days I have not been able to get anything done because I have a little girl clinging to my ankles. As much as I love her being all about mommy I wish I could have a break when daddy come home. Trying cook or do the dishes is near impossible anymore with out her in my arms or crying on the floor. It's all worth it though when I pick her up and she smiles and laughs at me.

My sister started her clinicals at Kosairs today and I am so excitied for her because this is what she has been waiting for. She got to do observations in the NICU today and really enjoyed it. I don't know how she will ever work there my heart would be breaking everyday. She told me today that they have a room for babies whose parents don't want them anymore, how could you not want your baby? The nurses told her that 2 nurses already adopted a baby each from there and 1 is fostering another baby and right now they have 3 or 4 babies in there. I wish I had a larger home and more money so that I could bring one or more of those babies home they need love. Once the babies are better they go to Home of the Innocent hoping to be adopted. My heart breaks everytime I think about it.

I can post pics again yea!!! tomorrow I'll upload recent pic and put them on here.
