April at Last

At the beginning of April we caught up with Grandma D., Aunt Deb, and Cousins Stephen and Elise for breakfast. Addy got a little restless so Grandma and Elise walked with her while she did laps.

Some more cold weather forced us to stay in but we made the most of it by creating Laundry Basket Racing. Addy really enjoyed it and would yell "Go" to get us going. Mama and Dada got their exercise that day.



For Easter we went to Grandma B. and Grandpa D.'s house. Addy looked very cute in her Easter dress and her nose didn't even look to bad. Addy's nose had a rough week before this starting with a bonk on table and followed the next day by meeting the driveway in a spill.

We were able to catch up with some of Amy's cousins who came over for Easter dinner. Amy was also able to get Great-Grandma updated with pictures from the blog.

Postage Due...






Here Addy is playing in a diaper box. She hasn't really excepted that she is a child in the 99%+ on the growth chart.












More fun with boxes. At least time Addy picked one that fits her a little better.


This weekend Addy was very tired and even had trouble keeping her eyes open during lunch. We were able to take her from lunch right to bed.



Addy shows off her skills of noodle eating. Notice the great eye work that accompanies the eating.



April signaled the end of the first semester for Matt. It was a good semester for Matt. He was able to put some of his hobbies together when he had to build a catapult for Physics class.

March Catch Up

After a wonderful week in Mexico with Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Melissa, Uncle Andy and Cousin Lia, Addy was not ready to be away from her cousin. Besides web chats we keep Addy connected to her cousin by watching their Disney video. Addy absolutely loves watching Cousin Lia.


We started Addy with a spoon in the beginning of March and tried her with Jello. (Notice the tablecloth on the floor.) Addy liked the Jello and using her own spoon, but boy was mom glad she put the tablecloth down.

On one of the nice days in March we decided to take Addy to one of the local parks. She loved playing outside and exploring the various playscapes at the park.

Here she is looking out one of the holes in a tube connecting 2 slides.








Addy also enjoyed riding one of the horses. Of course Dada was near by to make sure she didn't slip off and to give the horse some movement.













Addy was good with the swing but liked it a bit less than she did this past summer and less than the slides.






Here Addy braves going down the slide on her stomach and her own (with parental supervision). She was also able to see one of her favorite things, a plane.


Addy has started to climb a bit more this month and started by climbing on her excersaucer (less the center).






Here I go Mama and Dada. Just the start of things to come.
















Look Mom no hands!
