Videos

I've been slacking with the videos lately. It isn't that I don't record her, I just never get around to uploading the videos! So here are a few recent ones! Just click on the picture & the video will open.

This video is from storytime a couple of nights ago. Grams sent Addison the '5 Little Monkeys' book & she loves it.

This video is of Addison showing me how she can wash her belly.

Here is Addison showing how to use a fork.

Here she is diapering her baby.

POTTY NEWS - Addy used the potty last night after her bath! I'm sure it was a complete fluke, but it's still exciting!

Beefaroni Fun

Addison ate Chef Boyardee Beefaroni for the first time last week! She loved it! It was really hard for me to let this meal get so messy, but she enjoyed it!




House update: The title company called yesterday & said that our package will be emailed to us on Monday! I'm cautiously optimistic that the END is in sight!

Busy Thursday (edited to make pictures larger)

This morning we went to the library. She knows right where to go & took off as soon as we walked in the door! Do you know how hard it is to get a library card? You have to apply, then the library sends a letter to your home address with a BIG stamp on the envelope that states 'DO NOT FORWARD'. Do people really lie about where they live to get a library card? Then you have to take the letter & envelope back to the library, get the side-eye from the librarian and finally get a library card!


After lunch we went to a spray park near our house. It's such a neat place to go & let the babies play. All the kids are in school now, so we had it all to ourselves (along with neighbor Maggie).










I'm so lucky that I get to wake up each morning & see this beautiful baby! Staying at home with her isn't always kittens & rainbows, but I wouldn't trade this job for any other!

Petting Zoo & Golf

Yesterday we went to the petting zoo & Addison didn't enjoy it at all.  She didn't want anything to do with the camel, zebra, pony, cow, kangaroo, sheep or goat.  I really thought she would love the animals, but not so much.  Maybe in a couple of months she will be ready to try another visit.





Here's Addison trying out her new golf clubs.

Paradise Water Park

Addison had her first trip to a water park today!  She LOVED it & had so much fun.  We floated in the lazy river, Blake took a ride on both of the big water slides and Addison enjoyed the splash area for children. 

CLICK HERE to see pictures from our trip to the water park today! (Hope the link works.  I'm trying something new.)

Yahoo!

I'm on the verge of being done with my Yahoo! email account. They did an upgrade a couple of months ago & now it NEVER works right! It's making me crazy!

We got another offer on our house today. Unfortunately, it was a low-ball cash offer! We countered, but don't expect it to be accepted. If we don't close with our currect buyers we may look into the option of leasing to them until the closing.


I finally made it to my hair appointment today. It was LONG overdue! A few layers & highlights later & tada :)

Teeth

Addy has 2 new teeth! Her lower lateral incisors have erupted & now she has 8 teeth total!








Yesterday, I went to our local library looking for 3 books. They didn't have anything I wanted. So, I got online to check other libraries in the area & they charge $25 per year for a library card if you don't live in their town! Guess I'll be ordering my books from Amazon!

Time to catch up

We made it back home after our trip to the lake & home for a week. The lake was so much fun. It was awesome to see everyone & relax. We should do it more often! The babies had a good time too. I'm so glad that I got the Summer Infant Video Monitor. We got a ton of use out of it while we were away.
Addison & Parker had fun in the little pool & in the lake.

It looks like Parker is wishing Addy would quiet down some!

The dishes kept Addison occupied for HOURS! Thanks Grams!


While in Monroe we were able to see Avery & Casey for a quick visit. Hopefully next trip we can visit longer.



My mom has a barn out behind her house, so I took advantage of the backdrop & got a few pictures of Addison.





Memaw bought Addy her first pair of Adidas shoes! Thanks Memaw

Love the hair!

My beautiful great-nephew Logan!

Those blue eyes are going to get all the girls!

Addison & Logan working on a masterpiece




All Logan wanted to do is give Addison some love...

Addison didn't want Logan's love

And got away from him as fast as she could!


Update on the house... We've been waiting since May to close. Every month NACA asks for an extension for one reason or another. The latest is that we are supposed to close Wednesday. Well, that isn't possible since the paperwork has to be overnighted to us, signed & notarized, then overnighted back to the title company. Who knew it would be so hard to sell a house when it was SO easy to buy one! We wait...
