I guess you know it’s been too long since an update when you start getting threats from family and friends.  Addison has had a busy few weeks.  She went to Waco to visit Grans and Grandaddy for a few days, and got to be the guest speaker at Grans’s class on special needs.  She did a great job, and I think she loved the attention.  She put on quite a show waving, talking and smiling at these students who have been hearing about her all semester.  She then took her first trip to Austin, Texas where she attended her first baby shower.  She didn’t really get into any of the games, but she did enjoy playing with the tissue paper, and tried to eat another girl’s cake. 

After we returned home, she had a visit from Grammy and BopBop.  She took a little bit to remember them, but once she did, she had a blast.  We did a little bit of shopping and lots of eating and relaxing- just what the doctor ordered 

Addison has grown up so much in the last few weeks.  She is pulling up on everything that’s attached, and occasionally on something that’s not.  She now signs more, milk, eat and all done.  Other new experiences have included eating dog food- which I don’t think she liked, but probably would be willing to try again, and being told she’s going to be a big sister- which she doesn’t care much about yet.  We’ll see how she feels when September rolls around! 

Nice Hair

Addison's hair is definitely getting longer.  She's doing funny stuff everyday.  As much as she likes being outside, I think she's ready for winter to be over.
Here's another video for your viewing pleasure.  She's been very interested in getting that bunny on her foot.  I'm sure she'll get it eventually!

Growing Up

Addison is growing up before our eyes.  She's hit a spurt lately of new things she's doing.  She's now drinking her milk from a straw.  No more bottles, no sippy cups!

Do you recognize this look of pride?  This is her just after she pulled herself to standing for the first time.  She was so proud of herself!

Today, Addison fed herself pudding with a spoon.  The small problem we're working on is that she grabs the end with the food on it with her right hand, so that she can put the handle in her left hand.  So by the time she gets the spoon to her mouth, there's no much food left on it.  As you can see, I think more pudding got on her sleeves and on me than in her mouth, but it's her first time- we'll give her a little slack.

This is a neat video of Addison just before her bath yesterday.  It's about 7 minutes long.  We thought it was cute.  Grandparents will love it!

Okay, so it's been a while.  Not a lot new to tell you, but thought we'd share some pictures.  I don't know why we even bother buying toys.  Addison was crawling around the bathroom the other day while I was in the shower, and this is how I found her when I got out.  Starting early- I thought I didn't have to worry about this until she was a teenager!


This weekend we enjoyed the beautiful warm weather in Tulsa, and Wes decided to brush up on his tree-climbing skills.
The weekend before we went to Waco and hung out with the Jumper family for our extended family Christmas.  Yes, I realize it's February.  I guess we just like to party.  It was fun to see everyone and watch Addison play with her cousins.  We tried to get a good pic of the 3 of them, but she kept crawling out of it.  She's getting to be a fast little crab-crawler!

Last weekend, we went to Waco to see the family.  We had a wonderful time.  Addison is seeming less like a baby and really turning into a big little girl.  It's pretty fun!

She crawls...sort of...
