It's official........Addison started walking on Saturday, August 13th! Wouldn't you know that after months of standing without holding on, and a couple weeks of taking one step.......she would wait until the one weekend mommy is out of town to take off! :-) I was so upset to miss this milestone....but so happy for Noah that he got to witness it! And so thankful that we have some of it on video! Our little woman is bi-pedal! :-) I guess it is time to invest in actual shoes....ordered a couple pairs yesterday online.
It has been a busy, but wonderful, start to August! Noah's parents were in town July 31-August 1oth. Addison loved showing off all of her new tricks! Nana Trish brought Addison some super girlie outfits, which are just precious (see pics below)! Nana and mommy spent a lot of time on our big 1st birthday party invitation project.....creating hula girl paper dolls! Wow, it is hysterical how much time we ended up spending on these! :-) but luckily they turned out great! Papa Lyle was in town for a few days and was so helpful at installing all of our baby cabinet locks, toilet lid locks and new hooks for our bathroom for baby towels, etc. Sounds like a lot of work the whole time the way that I just wrote that....but we also had fun cruising around outside art festivals, eating lunch/dinner outside, listening to live music in the park, shopping, wandering around town. :-) Good times!
Mommy left for Chicago the morning of August 13th......first two nights away from Addison.....and first half marathon post-pregnancy. I definitely missed her a ton, but had a wonderful time running and spending time with girlfriends! I got to have lunch with Addison's "boyfriend" Will (our good friend's Liz and Dave's baby).......he's adorable, and doing so many of the same things as Addie! What a cute age!
I got back in town on Monday evening and the last two days have been spent relaxing at home and enjoying the beautiful weather around town with Addie and Wally. Yesterday, we did play group at the coffee shop (where we worked on learning to SHARE, as Addison took away toy after toy from her 16 month old girlfriend, Sophia :)) and then happy hour with daddy. This morning we took a long walk on Lake Nokomis, followed by a picnic and play date in the park with our friend's Kristin and Riloh, and Kristin's sister and neice. A beautiful day, and lots of fun! :-)
Enjoy the pics above.....not sure why some of my photos went sideways!!! Ugh!!! I tried and tried to get them to rotate, but unsuccessful!!! Sorry!
