First School Pictures!

Addison's first school pictures finally came in. These were taken back on October 16th (at 6 months). They only sold them in this collage fashion. So we bought one and scanned it. I can't believe how outrageously priced they were...25 dollars a sheet (8x10)! We will bring it electronically when we come to visit for Christmas. You should be able to double click on the picture, save it as a .jpeg, and have it be of print quality.

Addison had to go to the doctors last week to have them look at some really dry skin patches on her back that we have been treating for a couple weeks. It turns out Addison has eczema and we were given some extremely strong creams to spot treat her back. It doesn't seem to bother her, but it has to be uncomfortable. We went on her 7 month birthday and they weighed her. She is now 17 pounds 5 ounces. She cut her second bottom tooth that same day. Here are a couple pictures from the last week or so and another movie of her jumping around in her exersaucer. I also uploaded a short clip of Addison playing peek-a-boo; one of her favorite things. We we were finally able to get a good shot of Addison's new tooth. See the last picture. Good catch Daddy!








Love,

7 Months Old!

Addison will be 7 months old tomorrow. She is growing so fast. Addison is exploring like crazy and testing everything. Guess what she has learned to do in the last week with her exer-saucer? It is really funny to watch when she gets going.

I will try and post some more pictures soon. I hope all is going well.

Love,

6 1/2 months old!

Hello everyone,

In just six and a half weeks we will be coming to visit our family and friends in Michigan. I can't wait for them to meet Addison. We are doing pretty well. I am getting ready for the next space shuttle launch coming up on Friday. Tim has been really busy at work and is currently working on sprucing up the lightning.

Addison is on the verge of officially crawling. She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth teasing us. I am trying to catch a good video of this to load to the site. It seems as soon as we get the camera out she stops, but here was our latest attempt.


She does get around buy swiveling around on her hands and sliding herself backwards and forwards when on her stomach. She has been sitting up now by herself for about a month. She slowly leans forward, backward, or to the side to get herself from a sitting position down to a lying position. A couple of times she has been able to get to a sitting position by herself, but most of the time she still needs us to give her a little nudge.

The big news is... this past Monday, Addison cut her first tooth! It is not showing enough for a good picture yet, but stay tuned. Last night Addison tried sweet potatoes for the first time. She seemed to like it. Now her diet consist of breast milk, rice cereal, green beans, and sweet potatoes. Every 5 days we are going to add a new food. So by the time we come to visit at Christmas she should be able to eat a wide variety of foods.

Here are some pictures of Addison earlier in the week watching mommy and daddy finish getting ready for work in the morning.





Here is one of Addison and Grandma Debbie when she came to visit just before Halloween.


Here is one of Addison and Tim at the Wings Over Houston Airshow.


Just a few more pictures I thought were cute.



I hope all is well. Love,
