Addison has been full of changes lately. She has started crawling and pulling up. She is getting her top middle teeth, which hasn't been fun today, and is a lot more vocal. She waves, claps, and raises her arms "so big." She also has learned to make lots of sounds like clicking her tongue, strumming her lips, and "oh"-ing.
These are some shots Alex took tonight.
New Teeth! You can see her bottom two bottom teeth here. We had just one bad night cutting them. Let's hope we don't have that with the top ones coming in.
"Hi Dad."
Loves to climb. We have found her standing in her crib and are constantly battling her to keep her from trying to climb up the entertainment center.
Standing up.
Chewing, chewing.
Started crawling. She does pretty well already. She will take a couple of steps in a bear crawl and then will crawl normally. She still has to concentrate pretty hard, so she will go a little way, stop and sit herself up, take a breather, and go a little way more.
Makes all sorts of faces. She loves to try to mimic us.
Bathtime is tons of fun.
New fence. Alex, Scott, and our neighbor, Robin, have put tons of time and hard work in over the last 10 days building this picket fence around our yard and Robin's yard. It looks great! They did a fantastic job. Here are the guys with their finished project.
Here is the view from the front of our house. Hasn't Alex done a great job with the yard and flowers? There wasn't anything when we moved in.
This is looking at the shared fence and the back of Robin's house.
Last weekend Addison and I went to see my grandma, my 10-year class reunion, and Nana and Papa. She had a super long weekend, but was such a great kid. We left home on Saturday around one and drove straight to the hospital, then went from the hospital to my reunion in St. Joe, and finally to Nana and Papa's. She had to play a while with them before going to bed...even though it was after 10pm. On Sunday she crashed in the swing with Papa before we headed back to KC to Grandma's and then back to Mexico.
Grandma is doing better and continues to improve. She moved this past Friday from the hospital to a rehab wing at the Cameron Manor. Addison performed all kinds of tricks for her and brought plenty of smiles. We are hoping to get to see her again this coming weekend.
