3 Months Old!

Hello Everyone,

Addison had her first day of school at Primrose last Friday. Here she is all ready to go; relaxing on the couch in her new outfit.

I thought she looked a little nervous in this one or maybe she was just trying to make the same face I was.
Addison has been doing well in daycare. Her daily reports say she is happy and friendly. One of the new things she has started doing is gurgling when she is talking to us. She puts everything in her mouth (creating a lot of extra saliva). I think she tried to talk to us with that extra drool and liked the sound that came out, so she gurgles all the time now. She also rolls to her side and pushes against things to go after specific toys. She still likes to be in a supported sitting up position.
Addison really loves sucking her thumbs when she can (yes both, even at the same time). We have tried to take her thumbs out when we are playing, reading, or talking to her. Sometimes, when she is falling asleep, we replace her thumb with a pacifier and here is what happens. I thought it was so funny. Her thumb was turning purple it was stuck so tight.

We took her to the park to take some 3 month birthday photos. I think a few of them turned out all right. We took the pictures at sunset (cutting it close to her bedtime) because it was so hot earlier that day. The mosquitoes were starting to come out so we were rushing a bit.
Hope all is well.

Love,

Happy 4th of July!

Hello Everyone,

Addison enjoyed her first Fourth of July. She had an early morning swim with Grandma and Grandpa Babst in her red polka-dot bikini from Great Aunt Cindy. Click here to see more pictures of the swim.

She tried to stay up to see the fireworks, but fell asleep just before they began. Click here to see more picture of her hanging out with the family in her forth of July outfit from Grandma Debbie.
Addison took her first trip down to Galveston Island with her Grandma and Grandpa Babst, Aunt Michelle, and Mommy. We enjoyed a seafood lunch at Willie G's on the harbor side of the Island and then stopped to dip our toes in the Gulf of Mexico. Addison loved to squeeze her toes down into the wet sand. Click here to see more pictures.The night before the family was heading back to Michigan, Addison took one last after dinner swim with her Aunt Michelle and Daddy. Click here to see more pictures.

We really enjoyed having the family visit. I know Addison loved having more than just Mom and Dad to play with. Click here to see more pictures of Addison hanging out with her Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle.
Addison will be starting daycare next Friday July 18th and I will be returning to work full time. We are spending the next week preparing ourselves for the schedule of daycare/work. I hope everyone is doing well. I will post again after Addison's first day of Day Care / my first day of work /Addison's 3 Month Birthday!

Love,
