Just Hangin' Out

Welcome back to our "All about Addison" posts! Hope you enjoyed your break! Honestly she is the most exciting thing around here. Without her, John and I would just stare at each other and pick our noses. So, be grateful for Addibell otherwise you'd have some pretty nasty pictures to skim through on the blog!

We spent this weekend just kickin' around and having a lot of fun as a little family of three. And of course, where there is fun, there are pictures!! Of course most, (okay all) include our adorable little Addibell. I'll replay the festivities pic by pic.

As you could probably tell by the first picture, we headed out to the park this weekend. This was Addison's first time at the park. Yes folks, she is 9 months old and this is the first she has seen of the park. I guess I'm a slacker mom eh? ;-) Of course take into consideration that we just came out of a nasty winter and she's just now getting to the age where she knows what is going on. Anyway, the little cutie pie just LOVED it. I went with full intentions of knowing she would fall in love with the baby swings. So, we scoped out a park with those swings and whodathunk we would have found one just two miles from our doorstep? Yup, turns out our little white trash Centerton Park (located just next to the trailer park) has just what we were looking for. Despite the fact it was rather windy and cold, it was still a good time had by all. And yes, her Momma knows her well - she loved the swings! She went straight past regular laughter to her famous cackle of excitement she was having so fun. I love hearing her cackle. I wish I could can that sound. We didn't stay long but before we could leave we had to hit the slide. She liked it of course, but not near as much as the swings. It just reminded me that I should get us out of the house more so we can have more fun just like that.


Here she is enjoying a little Weight Watchers chocolate popsicle. She's getting so chunky we decided to put her on a stricter diet. (hahaha...jk). She loves just about everything we eat so since I'm a softy I share with her....everything! There goes all future meals of my own. I've created a monster.....a hungry monster! I promise though, we feed her real food, we do.


Tonight we enjoyed watching the US/Canada hockey game and got to eat some snacks. We just noticed earlier today that she is now working on her 3rd tooth (top this time) so she always loves gumming on her fruit mesh thingy and honestly that is about the only thing that we can find to stop the whining. So we love it just as much. Look how happy she is! :D




This was the scene I saw after John went to put her pajamas on for the night. Yes, I'm lucky to have such a helpful husband. But the drawback is that she comes out dressed like Erkel. And yes, it was done on purpose folks. The Erkel pants are a running joke around this house so Addison is just being initiated is all. It was so adorable I had to pull out the camera.

She's also in the middle of doing her excitement arm flap. It's the most adorable thing and reminds me of a little birdie trying to learn to fly. She gets so excited she starts screeching and flapping her little arms as fast as she can as she closes her eyes.

All in all, it was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun just spending time together as a family and being very grateful for our cute little princess. She is getting to such a fun age lately. I especially love her silly mood where she goes bonkers and just starts wiggling and laughing and jabbering while she burrows her head into the blanket or carpet. She's such a happy baby and we are such a blessed family just to have her with us.
