Addison has been pretty intent lately on really exploring the world around her. Anytime she’s in the water (i.e., bath and swimming lessons), she splashes like crazy, but then she’ll stop and lean forward slowly and put her face in the water. A couple of times she’s tried to breathe with face in water, and comes up coughing. At this point, you’d think most kids would not want to do that again, but she looks over at me, smiles, and then puts her face right back in. Tonight I was filling up her bath, and she leaned over and stuck her face right in the waterfall. I swear she should have been born with fins and a tail.
She also had her first experience this weekend of carving a pumpkin. Well, okay, so not really carving- we’re better parents than that. But she did get to pull out the seeds and goop and play with it between her fingers and toes. At first she wasn’t so sure about it, but once she got into it, she really got into it.
Other than that, she’s just been concentrating really hard on becoming mobile and being cute- and doing really well at both.

You guys are just awesome and a wonderful example of what it means to be a parent. We are very fortunate to have friends like you.
We are so blessed by Addison Grace. I looked up the technical meaning of Grace and something caught my eye. "A temporary immunity or exemption." I think anyone who reads this blog or is around little Addison feels a temporary relief from the everyday pressures of life. When she looks at you there is no judging or stereotyping...she smiles at you no matter what (with the exception of when she's hungry or tired). There is so much to learn from her and so much Grace to be given.
Whatever you need we are always here for you.
