Addison's First Bike Ride

Yesterday Addison experienced her first bike ride. K and I got new bikes over the weekend and we finially were able to try them out yesterday. My bike was for my birthday and K got one because he is just so wonderful and deserves it for working so hard. Addison seemed to enjoy it for the most part, but was not a fan of the helmet. We need to get it adjusted better for her, but everytime we try to put it on her head she tires to pull it off. Can't wait to do some more biking soon!

Growing too Fast

Addison is growing too fast. She is all over the house and always on a mission to find something new. She now has 4 teeth, her bottom and top two. It is soo cute to see her smile and see all those teeth. They are very sharp too. She has bit me a few times on the shoulder and wow did it hurt. We have been busy working around the house and she is daddy's favorite helper. K loves spending the day with her while I am at work because he can hardly get anything done. Gotta love parent hood.

Addison's favorite sound is to say ba ba ba so sweetly. She loves to give hi-fives and clap her hands as well as give open mouth kisses.Here are a few pictures from the past week or so of our little princess.

Notice the teeth smile!

trouble!

Here's little missy getting into trouble in the office. She is already interested in computers!

Play Date at the Park

Last week, Addison had a play date at the park with her favorite friends, Andrew and Allison. It was a beuatiful afternoon and Shannon (Andrew and Allison's mommy) and I decieded to go to the park. The kids had fun swinging on the swings and playing on the slide. We can't wait till we can do it all again soon!

Hello Spring!

We are absolutely loving this wonderful warm weather. The warm weather and daylight savings makes me so happy. There is something to be said about seasonal affect disorder. As much as winter can be fun because of the snow, after a while it can become depressing. Addison and I have thoroughly enjoyed our runs in the morning time. It seems to just help get the days off on a good healthy start. It is also my stress reliever. I have now cut my hours at work down to two days per week while I finish up my masters (only 3 more classes to go). With having a baby, school, house and husband work can get a little overwhelming, but things seem to now be working better. I love spending time with Addy, even on the tough crabby days. :). K has started our remodel on our back room which will hopefully be our new family room at some point sooner or later. The challenge is that when he is home from work, I generally am working and so little miss Addison has to be entertained and watched, making it difficult to get things accomplished. Oh well, I guess it will get done sooner or later.

Addison is now a "quick pusher walker". She will push anything along to get going all around the house. It will be no time before she is running and we get to chase after her. She also now has her two front bottom teeth and one of her top teeth is now coming in. They are very sharp, she bit me the other day on the shoulder and it looked as though I had a hickey. Addison is quite verbal too. Her famous aaaaa sound occurs frequently, but now she has moved to a very sweet sounding ba ba ba ba sound. I think she is going to be making her way through the alphabet. She still continues to be a picky eater and protest any vegetable you try to put in her mouth. We have been able to develop ways to "trick" her and pair her veggies with other things in order for her to eat them. What is interesting is that she is not a big fan of pureed veggies, but will eat them cut up as finger foods. Guess she just has to be in control.

Well we hope that everyone else's lives are going well. We miss all our friends and family that we haven't seen or talked to in a while. My goal for the spring time is to stay more up to date with my blog. I honestly don't know where the time goes....life just moves too fast, ENJOY!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well we had to get some of the Irish blood celebrated for St. Patty's Day. Addy got her green T-shirt out and sported it all day long while hanging out with daddy while I had to work. For dinner, K made corned beef and cabbage and it was very yummy! Addison is now walking while pushing her little stroller. She walked back and forth in front of our house at least 10 times while pushing her stroller with a big smile on her face too. She is getting so animated and very "curious" about everything. Everyday we have something new to explore and have fun with. We hope everyone else had a fantastic St. Patty's Day and enjoyed some yummy green beer too.

Happy 60th Birthday Mom!

Last weekend I pulled off a surprise birthday party with 40+ people for my mom's 60th birthday. The theme was wine tasting and everyone brought a bottle of wine to be included in the wine tasting event. The day was a little stressful because it was raining off and on, but we survived, only had one down-pour during the party to put out all my candles.

We enjoyed some fun games, great friends and lots of yummy wine. Addison also tried to participate and was an angel at the adult party. Thank you to all for your help and "scheming" to pull off this wonderful event. Happy Birthday to my fantastic mother on her 60th year!
