Winter updates...






















I can't believe another week has passed....the weeks seem to be moving so quickly this Winter! Not a bad thing considering the temperatures expected for the rest of this week....I don't think we are getting above 10 degrees...ugh! Yesterday we got up to 28 degrees, so I bolted outside with Wally and Addie for a snowy stroll.....gotta take advantage of these days that are so rare this time of year! Today we are staying warm and making a huge pot of soup for dinner...I think the high is around 5!!
The good news is that Noah and I confirmed our vacation for February!! We are escaping the heat and heading to Estero, FL (right outside Fort Myers) with some friends for a few days....looking forward to this get away and a little sunshine! Addie will get to meet her friend Will....our friends Liz and Dave's baby who was born just a little over a week after her! :-) I can't wait to order Addie a baby swimsuit!!....bikini? or one piece?...... Maybe if mommy keeps up the running, we could get something matching!! :-)
Last week we had dinner with our friend Kim and her baby Nora (9 months) on Wednesday....so much fun to see Kim and watch Nora and her new developments. It's amazing to think that Addie is going to be that big in just a few months!
This weekend our friends Ashley and Geoff visited from Chicago! We had a great time showing them a little bit of the city, eating at some of our favorite venues and showing off our new little Addison! It was a pretty low key weekend which was nice! They brought Addie some fun surprises including a new teething toy (that Wally loves!! :-)) In fact this morning, I had to hide the giraffe, because Wally wouldn't give it up...he lies next to Addie whimpering when she plays with it. Hysterical!
Addison got to try out her new highchair last night! We've decided that she would rather be at the table watching us during dinner than anywhere else....and we figure it's good practice for the big solid food debut in the weeks ahead! She looks like such a big girl sitting there.....wow!
Addie is also getting VERY close to rolling from her back to her belly...she literally gets all the way over with her entire body, except her poor elbow is always caught under her! She gets so frustrated as she pushes and pushes trying to accomplish this new skill! She is also still loving the sitting position for everything! She can actually hold the position with a forward lean for a few minutes...but hasn't quite conquered preventing a sideways fall yet! We get our new area rug for the family room today......can't wait to have something softer than just a blanket under her as she ventures in to these new skills!
Sleeping has improved again.....thank goodness! We are back to either sleeping for a full 7-9 hours at a time, or just awakening once during the night for feeding!
Tomorrow we are heading to Courtney's house to visit her and the kids....Addie can't wait to see baby Molly again! Then I'm back to work for Thursday-Sunday...ugh!
Enjoy the pics from the last week.......including Addie dolled up for Annie one morning in her cute headband, Ashley and Geoff with Addie, Addie's January hat (from Opa) and her snowsuit, and the high chair debut!
