I just love brushing my two teeth!

Gymboree

I love bubbles!

Doing the "merry go round" song.

Free play with balls

We have started taking Addison to Gymboree on Saturdays. She seems to enjoy it so far and likes playing with all the other little ones her age. It is also fun to have a place were she can crawl and go anywhere without getting into trouble!

Enjoying the last days

Playing with cute Lily and covered in sand!

The sand was everywere!


All bundled up on the walk back to our car after our cold shower!

It's too hot to wear clothes!

Playing in our make-shift baby pool!

I start back to work on Thursday (I am so sad!), so we are once again enjoying are time together. Last week we went to the zoo with friends, to Sea World and the aquarium with daddy, and to the park. Today we went to the beach with some friends and Addison had the best time ever! The sand was everywere from her hair, to her mouth to her toes! We had her 9 month check up afterwards, so she and I tried to shower off in the cold beach shower as best we could and then headed straight to the doctor. It was fun though!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

Happy Birthday Grandma!! We love you and wish we were there to celebrate with you!!!

Happy 9 Months!

Here's one of my favorite toys.

And I'm off!

Can it really only be 3 short months until Addison is one years old? Crazy! This has probably been my favorite month so far! Addison is definitely a mover now-crawling, pulling up on EVERYTHING and constantly on the go! She's suffered quite a few bumps and bruises, but is a pretty tough girl! She's saying mama (which I love!) and baba a lot. She is still the happiest baby and everyone who meets her seems to think so too because Addison smiles all the time! Addison now has 2 teeth on the bottom and is eating finger foods now! She is developing such a fun personality and will laugh and laugh at silly things I do (which is definitely a boost to the ego!). She loves: my cell phone, the remote control, my hair, trash cans, electric cords, the blinds, and pretty much anything she shouldn't be playing with! She still loves reading books and now turns the pages for me. It has been so fun staying home with her this past month and I am already dreading going back to work in a week and a half! After she goes to bed at night, as I am doing my chores, I often think about little things she's done during the day and smile to myself. The love I have for this little girl is immeasurable! Happy 9 month birthday Addison! We love you!

Here are her stats:

Weight=18 lbs. 8 oz. (50th percentile)

Height=28 1/2 inches (75th percentile)

Head=17 1/2 inches (50th percentile)


Crawling like a big girl!

I heart summer!

Hanging out in beautiful La Jolla! I love living in San Diego!

Playing at a park on the beach in Laguna Beach with Emily and Travis!

I had so much fun with grandma!!

Fun times at the park with Kim, Cian and Cadhla!


I'm into everything!

I love taking all my books out of the basket!

Have I mentioned how much I love summer break? We had another fun week! We went to the zoo with Chris' mom, had a playdate with my friend Kim and her twins, went to a pool party at church, went to Laguna Beach for a playdate with Emily and Travis and went to our first Gymboree class and then to La Jolla for a walk. What a fun week!!

So stylish!

I love all the cute dresses my grandma sends me! I was the cutest baby in church today! Thanks grandma!

A fun week and Happy 4th of July!

Way too close to the pool and not happy about it!

Happy 4th of July!!

Fun at the park!

1st attempt at the pool-I'm happy if I'm far away from it!

One of my favorite places to play!

We've had another fun week! We went to a pool party with some of my friends and their kids on Monday. Addison is not very fond of the swimming pool. We have tried twice with her and I guess it's too cold, but she just cries everytime we get near the pool! We also went to the zoo and park with daddy this week!

Addison is pulling up on everything and letting go a lot too, she just doesn't have the balance to stand on her own yet and topples right over! She is sleeping much better at night now, so I think the teething pain must be less now (thank goodness!).

Happy 4th of July!!
