We'll start with the new little peanut, since I just got back from my OB appointment this morning! I am now 23 1/2 weeks in to this pregnancy, and growing by the day! I am measuring right on track, and have already gained 18 pounds (although my doctor assured me not to worry, even though this is more than last time). Baby is super active....especially around 10:30pm when I am just snuggling in to bed! :-) Lets hope this changes come November! Noah and I have been making a list of girl's names and have pretty much decided on a middle name. We are planning to keep it all a surprise just like last pregnancy! I have also been busy looking for the few little things that I think we need for the new baby.....sheets, blankie, some of the basics! It is fun to get an idea of the new stuff that is out there....although with another girl on the way, there isn't a whole lot that we need this time! :-) One of these days I will head down to storage and start going through the newborn bin of clothes to see what we need in that department! So much to think about and do in the next couple of months! Addison was adorable at the OB this morning....she said "baby doctor" and even said "baby sister" when the doctor said, "Listen to your new baby sister's heartbeat." It's hard to know what she really understands of all of this, but regardless it is so cute!
Addison has really been becoming a little girl lately.....preferring "big girl pants" (training pants), counting, singing her alphabet, and pretending to be a gymnast AT ALL TIMES (she walks on every stone wall or flower bed outside)!
Napping with Wally!

We spent the fourth of July with some of our friends just relaxing and cooking out. Unfortunately, Addie was exhausted and it was so hot that night that we decided to skip out on watching the fireworks on the river....but were able to catch a few glimpses from our condo windows! Addison had a great night running around with her friend "Wiwi" and practicing her dance moves! Other highlights of the month included a trip to the Mall of America, spending some time at the city's splash pads and pools, attending Choo-choo bob's story hour, having the Graven family in town (and getting to meet baby Aspen), continuing to attend our weekly Little Gym class, playing in our new outdoor pool (yes, it fits on our balcony!! :-)), and spending a day at Lake Calhoun! Addison has had a great month!
Addison can now count to ten! We have no idea where or when she learned it....but one night in the bathtub she first did it for me, and now has continued to "perform her trick" over and over again! Hopefully the video will attach to this blog! :-)
We have lots to look forward to in the next couple of months!!! Addison and I are heading to NC August 22-September 3 (and daddy is joining us August 25-September 3). We will be spending some time at the beach with mommy's UNC girlfriends and children, visiting with Nana and Papa in Raleigh, and attending a wedding in the mountains! So excited! We return on Labor Day, and then Opa and Jojo come the next day! They are going to be spending Addison's second birthday with us this year! We are planning a choo-choo birthday party for September 8! :-)
Enjoy the pictures of the last few weeks...and my huge belly! :-)
