Siblings

I love watching these two together - Aaden just loves her and loves playing with her and Addison gets a kick out of Aaden.  She thinks he's soo funny!  I look forward to when they can really play together!  Here's a video from last night of them playing - boxes are so much fun!

On the swings at the park
Something was way cooler to look at than Mommy
Attempting to get a pic for Father's Day 
I love his concerned face 
I may or may not have had Cheryl do a little photoshopping with this one ;) 
Aaden wanted in on the photos and wanted to wear a "bandaid" (headband) too. 
How cute is this? ♥

8 Months

~8 Months~
Wow - so many changes in one month!  Addison is now sleeping in her crib and doing great.  She is in her new big girl carseat (she looks so tiny in it!).  She's now been weaned and it totally formula fed now.  I was sad to stop nursing but she was ready - she was getting distracted and not seeming interested and my supply took a hit after starting my new job and not having a lot of time to pump.  But she's thriving and happy and so is Mommy.  She loves her bottle - she loves playing with it too.  She'll drop it and challenge herself to get it again - once she does she gets so happy and proud of herself that she starts giggling.  She's so silly! We're starting her on new foods pretty often and she's loving eating Mums and Puffs.  They're a great way to keep her occupied too!  She's getting pretty good at the pincer grasp.  
She is becoming much more mobile.  She's rolling all over the place which is her mode of transportation right now. Haha. She's starting to try to crawl - we think in another 2-3 weeks she'll get it. She's reaching for things and lunging forward.  Once she gets on her tummy she just kicks her legs up and down, like doing leg lifts.  Then she gets frustrated.  She'll figure it out soon! She's so funny, sometimes she'll be sitting straight up and then bend over and fold herself in half and put her ear to the floor or her feet - we call it her yoga pose.  It's hilarious!  Have no idea why she does it but I hope I can get a picture of it!
This girl LOVES bling.  She pulls on necklaces and earrings and spots rings and plays with them.  And she tries to pull my glasses off constantly - I think she likes the sparkles on the side. 
She's such a Mama's girl - but I can't complain.  Love cuddling with my little girl! She's definitely more cuddly than Aaden ever was.  She has such a wonderful personality.  She's cute and cheesy and funny and happy - she makes it easy to soak her up! 
This is what happens when you have Emmy for a grandma!
Cuddling with Mommy.  The only way she would sleep that day.
First time riding in the grocery cart 
Cuddling with Daddy 
Killing me in her shorts!
In her big girl seat! 
Loved her first time in the park swing! 
First boo-boo.  Daddy thought she could stand on her own.
Coffee tables are no longer our friends 
Whatcha doin' Sissy? 
8 Months! 
This is what 8 months really looks like~
Pulling the sticker off and trying to eat it
And trying to eat the camera 
My pretty girl! 
Our immobile days are numbered - she can spin herself around now!

Aaden and Tanith had fun playing together - they snuck off to Maddie's room.

Moms - I'm looking a little frazzled from the heat!
Poor Maddie wasn't feeling well and had to take a nap. 
Monica was sad that she wasn't in the group shot so the kids nap-bombed her!
