Sorry it has been so long since we have posted. It seems like the last couple of months have been CRAZY! I will try to be a little more diligent about posting.
As most of you probably already know, Alex, Addison, and I moved to Mexico (Missouri that is) in the end of April. Alex is a crop consultant for CPS in Perry and I am an ag lender for the Callaway Bank in Fulton. Addison started a new adventure at her daycare, The Growing Years. She seems to love it and is all smiles when she sees her classmates. I really like her teacher, Miss Tina, which helps...it was really hard to leave her after being home with her for four and a half months.
May seemed insanely busy. We spent most of the month driving back and forth between Maysville and Mexico moving our stuff. We had to downsize significantly when we moved to Mexico, so it wasn't just a matter of packing and moving, instead we had to add sorting and selling to the mix.
On the night before the movers were to come and Alex's birthday, we ended up in the emergency room with Addison. It was her first major cold, and she was having a very hard time breathing. After a breathing treatment and some tests to make sure she didn't have pnemonia or RSV, we headed home with a nebulizer and some antibiotics. Thankfully, Dad agreed to handle the movers and we went back home to Mexico.
May was also filled with a graduation, retirement, and a wedding. Allyn (Alex's sister) graduated from high school and is Mizzou bound next fall. My mom after 30 years of teaching finally retired. Her plan was to visit grandkids, but this crazy weather has kept her very busy helping dad on the farm (there have been a few visits though). Alex shot his second wedding in the end of May. He did a beautiful job.
June was no less busy than May. On June 6th, one of Alex's fraternity brothers got married. It was so fun to see everyone again and introduce Addison.
Addison also turned 6 months old this month. I can't believe how fast my tiny baby is growing up. At her 6 month check up, she weighed in at 19.5 pounds...a guess she isn't so tiny after all. She is almost crawling and has started pulling herself up. Last night she took her first bath in the big girl tub. She thought that was a lot of fun. She has started eating baby food. She is picky about texture, so we are mixing all of her fruits and veggies with cereal. It doesn't sound or look appealing to me, but she loves it. She is also learning to drink from a sippy cup and doing pretty well. Here are her six month pictures that Alex took:
At the end of June, Addison and I headed to Maysville to help finish up with planting and then the whole family met up in Branson. Alex had to work, so he didn't get to join us, but Addison and I had so much fun with Kaden, Emmy, Amy, Fritz, Stacey, Cory, Nana, and Papa. We discovered Addison loves to swim. We are definitely going to have to take her to the Mexico pool a few times during what summer we have left. Here are some pix from the vacation. Amy and Stacey also have pix on their blogspots -- links on the right.
