Bliss

Just wanted to share a little fun from this week. Addison is really blossoming and her larger than life personality comes out a little bit more each day. She is such a fun loving little girl. She has made so many advances this week. She learned to go from laying down to sitting by herself and she now scoots aroung the room half sitting half crawling. She has even started to try to pull up on the furniture to stand! She is also cutting two, maybe three teeth, this is not so fun for Addie or Ma Ma and Da Da. But, considering she has no teeth right now it was bound to happen soon.

Her two new friends are Harley and Stella our Airedale Terriers. They just adore her, even when she grabs their ears or pokes them in the eye. Stella can't wait for her to get up every morning and she is the first one to her door each morning.

We started swim classes at the YMCA this week, she is in the Shrimp class with 4 other little ones - everyone is under 14 months and it is so fun. She just loves the water and kicks ger little legs like crazy. There is even another little "Addie" in her class and an Abby - that poor instructor trying to keep the names straight.

Today we meet Nana for lunch and shopping - Addie loves to shop just like her Ma Ma and Nana. Big sale at Toys R Us just a heads up.

I will leave you with some pictures of our big girl
- Enjoy!!

Home Sweet Home

We have been home a little over a week now and everyone is getting settled in. I had the flu the first week back so Brody got to play Mr. Mom while I recovered. Now Brody has the flu :(

Addie is adjusting great! She is such an easy going girl. She is really active and has a heart melting smile as anyone will tell you - this girl smiles and laughs for everyone.

Addie has made great strides with her sitting and is now starting to roll everywhere. I predict she will be crawling by next week. She so wants to play with the kids her own age. She is a mover and a shaker that likes to be constantly doing something. Daddy is trying to teach her to walk right now. I would like to wait until she is at least a year - we will have many years to chase her around and I kind of enjoy this baby stage where she still needs Mommy a little bit :)

She attended her first Birthday party this weekend for her friend Jenna G. who was turning 1 and she partied like a rock start. Lots of smiles and dancing - she really enjoyed meeting our best friends and their families - they all loved her up.

Addie started sleeping through the night again on Wednesday and most mornings I have to wake her up to start our busy day. She goes all day long with a short nap in the afternoon. I just love spending my days with her she is so curious, lovey, and she has quite a sense of humor.

I will leave you all with a few pictures from our first week home.

Thank you all for following our journey.

Blessings!
