Week in Review


Not much has happened this week. Nothing exciting anyway...our days were filled with playing, cleaning, cooking and running errands. One thing that I have noticed about Addison is that even though we buy her fun and interesting toys she seems to find the oddest things around the house to entertain her!! For example, she LOVED playing in a huge wooden trunk at her cousins house and she also played for hours with a set of mixing bowls I have. However, most of her time is dedicated to her favorite activity: walking and climbing. She discovered the stairs in our house and loves to go up and down (only with me right by her side of course!) and she is completely unsatisfied by merely sitting and playing she wants to GO somewhere!! My back often hurts from holding her hands as she happily walks around the house or tries to chase our dog. She has been taking steps on her own but certainly has not mastered walking by herself yet. Part of me can't wait for her to be able to take off, but another part is sad because she is growing up so much and the older she gets the more independent she becomes! I miss our holding her and cuddling with her! 

One highlight of our week was getting to meet my in-laws new puppy. They got a teacup yorkie named "Bitsy" and she is adorable!!! So tiny!! Addison wasn't sure what to think of her when they met on Saturday but she slowly warmed up to her little friend.  We are looking forward to lots of fun with grandma's new puppy :)

Addison looks like a doll!!! :) She is beautiful and I know you are having a blast with her. I totally know what you mean- its bittersweet when they start walking. But don't be too sad, because then you'll get to do alot of new fun stuff together! :) Thats me trying to be positive about all this growing up stuff. Have a great weekend!
