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!!

Busy Week!

Check out my new teeth!

My new favorite position at all times!

Loving the cows at the fair!

We've had a fun-filled, busy week! We've gone on walks, went to the fair, went to the park and went on a 2 hour hike today! Addison has been such a trooper and so happy (at least during the daytime)! This has also been a busy week for Addison as well-she now has 2 bottom teeth (leading to some hard times with sleeping at night and some whining) and is pulling up on anything and everything! She is keeping her momma busy this summer and I couldn't be happier!

Happy Father's Day!

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is such a great father! Chris has been smitten with Addison from the moment he laid eyes on her! From going up to the NICU late night to feed her a bottle, to playing guitar for her every day, to taking her on "field trips," to making her laugh, he is the best daddy! It is amazing to see the love he has for his little girl and it makes me love him all the more! We love you Chris! Happy Father's Day!

Summer Vacation!!!

I think we are all happy to finally be on summer vacation! Daddy is teaching summer school until 1:00 every day, but we still get lots of family fun time!

Addison has learned to clap this past week and claps for herself all day long! We of course have to clap right along and say "Yea!"

Addison's favorite songs are "Old McDonald" and "Wheels on the Bus." The "Up and down" verse gets her every time! So cute!

8 Months

This pretty much sums up our days lately!

Can Addison really only be 4 months away from turning 1? I can't believe it! This past month has brought a lot of changes in Addison. She is now constantly on the go! Whether it is crawling, scooting, wiggling, standing, jumping, she's doing it! Addison is still a great eater and sleeper and has loved almost everything I've made for her. (I have made most of her baby food so far.) She's not a big fan of green beans or peas, but will tolerate them. She does not like avocados though, much to my dismay! We'll keep trying. Addison loves pears, apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, peaches, and carrots. Her favorite books are: "Old McDonald" book, "Brown Bear" and "How big is Elmo?" Addison's favorite toys are: my cell phone, the TV remote, water bottles, and any cord or trash can she can get to! Addison is making lots of new sounds and developing such a sweet, funny personality. She still is a happy girl and is always laughing and smiling! Today was our last day of school, so I'm looking forward to spending 6 fun-filled weeks at home with her!
