It has definitely heated up here in Minneapolis! Temperatures have been in the 80s and even in to the 90s the last couple of weeks. Sunscreen has become our new best friend.....although, I have discovered that just because it is a baby sunscreen, DOES NOT mean that it is tear-free! We have had some definite catastrophes with Addison rubbing her face and getting sunscreen in her eyes....poor thing, she screams like crazy until we can rinse it out!
Noah and I had our 4th wedding anniversary on the 31st and I surprised him with a babysitter and a dinner for the two of us downtown at Rosa Mexicano that weekend! It was a nice, relaxing evening out! The food was authentic and delicious! It's amazing that it has been four years....and all the changes we have gone through together during those years.....a new city, a new home, new jobs, a new dog, a new baby and a new pregnancy! I can't wait to see what the next four years will bring!
Last week was a fun week for Addison....we had play dates on both Monday and Tuesday with friends. We spent Monday morning out in the suburbs with our friends Ali and Levi.......we played at their house and went to the park near their house. Addison loved riding in the wagon with Levi and having snacks along the way! Tuesday morning we went to the St. Louis Park splash pad with our friends Anna and Allie, and Jen and Eva. It was a blast to watch Addison warm up to the idea of the water! She was a initially a little hesitant, but once she started, she was in to it! She loved filling her bucket and dumping all over her body! She was giggling and loving it! :-) Definitely a fun new discovery, and a place we will enjoy frequently this summer!
Some of the other highlights of the week was Addison's introduction to "big girl pants"-pull-ups! I decided to buy a package at Target last week to trial them out since she has been so opposed to diaper changes and wearing diapers. She loves them! She even knows how pull them on herself! :-) I'll get a picture real soon!
Addison has also been using big girl cups now at most meals-yea! She is much improved in reducing spills...although of course, there are still some accidents! She is so proud of herself drinking from a "real cup."
Addison also tried corn on the cob for the first time this week! She has always enjoyed corn, but this was the first time I let her hold the cob and go for it! See pictures below.....she was all smiles! We can tell she has some Indiana blood in her!
Finally, Addison has been very excited about mommy's beads this week....it is her special treat to get to pull these out of the box and try on each necklace! She regularly plays dress-up now!
