First tooth! and Four point!

(An Easter stroller ride with daddy in my April hat! So serious!)
(Look at me mom!)
(Snuggling with my monkey!)
("I'm still having more fun taking the hat off!")
(Opening my Easter present!)
(So focused on reading and feeling!)
(All smiles!!)

What an odd Minnesota "Spring"?!?! The last couple weeks have consisted of a few beautiful days in the 60s, followed by a few rainy days in the 40s! This change is crazy......difficult to decide if it's time to put away the Winter clothes or not! We are looking forward to our trip to Indianapolis for a week, and hoping for some warmer weather! Noah heads to Chicago tomorrow, then to Indy on Sunday. Addison and I leave this Saturday!

The highlights of the last couple weeks include:

-Addison's first Easter! (she got a new tank top and skirt for summer and a book)

-playing outside for a few hours a couple different days (yeah for sunshine)-Addison loves the grass and dirt!

-Addison getting her first tooth!!!-the left bottom central incisor! (a few others are close to breaking through as well)

-Addison still working on four-point, but no crawling yet! She scoots around the carpet reaching for objects and sometimes moves backward, but hasn't yet put it all together. (sometimes leading to frustration for her-poor thing!)

Enjoy the pics from the last couple weeks.....!! And the video below!

April fun!

Best buddies-Addie and Wally!
All of us at the museum, 4/14...Addie was worn out!

Mommy tried and tried to get my April hat picture...but I like to take it off!

Cuddles in my crib!
Playing outside with daddy!

"Babababa, dadadada, babababa".................the last couple weeks have been filled with sounds like these!!! It was hysterical to come home from work yesterday to Noah and Addison having a conversation back and forth with these same sounds.....Addie loves to impress her daddy! :-)

Some of the highlights of the last couple weeks include:

-acheiving four point position a few times...but no crawling yet

-feeding ourself some teething biscuits and really enjoying them!

-mommy figuring out the key to fixing constipation...Earth's Best multigrain cereal! Amazing!

-actually enjoying peas for the first time! no tantrum when they are mixed with brown rice!

-enjoying playing in our crib sometimes in a sitting position

-a fun playdate outside with Riloh (the weather was beautiful for a few days last week!)

-a trip to the Children's Museum with mommy, Kim and Nora (she is one now!)

-the return of Sophie.....yes, mommy splurged after we lost our first one and Sophie is back!

-a visit from our friends in NC, Ryan and Sanghmie, who shared their exciting news with us!

-playing outside in the grass with leaves with daddy!

-acting like such a big girl getting a flu shot at the Dr.-only a couple seconds of crying this time

-getting to spend a couple days/nights playing with Annie while mommy and daddy went out to a dinner, the Guthrie and a wedding reception....she loves her Annie!

The unfortunate news of the last couple weeks is that we are going to lose Annie a little earlier than we had anticipated...probably mid July....due to her course schedule for PT school. As excited we are for her...mommy is dreading the search for a replacement! The next month or so will be spent trying to figure things out for the months ahead.

The exciting news....in just a couple weeks we are all (except Wally unfortunately!) headed to Indy for a week, May 1-9, to visit family! Can't wait!!

Today is Addison's 7 month birthday! I feel like the older she gets, the more quickly she is growing and developing!

Updates from the last week:

-learning to clap!!!

-progressing from two to THREE solid meals per day (although lunch is just a few bites)

-wanting to always use the spoon without help!

-starting to fit in to some of her 9 month old clothes!

-sleeping all but one night for a consecutive 10 hours

-sipping on water from a bottle during the day on our own

-going for lots of rides in the stroller with mommy while she jogs or walks Wally

-spending the weekend with daddy while mommy worked

-getting to play with Riloh ( a couple months younger) and her fun toys Saturday night

The weather is beautiful and it is finally Spring here in Minneapolis!

Enjoy the pics from the last week, including some from our 7 month photo shoot this morning!
