11 months old


Addy finally figured out the walking thing!
Over the last week or so she has discovered how she can walk all around the house!
How fun for her, but it sure keeps mom and dad on their toes!

The weather has been beautiful so we have spent lots of time outside. Addison loves to be out in the yard, feeling the grass, and yes, tasting the dirt, again! She loves to walk up and down the sidewalk and likes to wave at the other kids and doggies walking by!

April

So here we are, April already! The first weekend in April was so beautiful! We played outside, got to explore new things... Addison had a fun time!
And she took great naps after getting all that fresh air! How wonderful for Mom and Dad! Addy got to dig in the dirt...it was so fun! "This is so great", she thought, "It feels really neat between my fingers!"
"Hmm...I wonder what it tastes like?"

Mud pie anyone?? Yes, Addison decided she wanted to know what the dirt tasted like. It wasn't all that great. She didn't fight too much when we were scooping it out of her mouth and giving her water to rinse! :)


We decided crawling on the grass would be more fun than eating dirt! She had so much fun outside, so many new things to see and touch (or eat)

A little behind...

Addison and her Daddy on Easter

Such a pretty girl in her Easter dress!


What a beautiful sunny day! Too bad there is so much snow on the ground! No easter egg hunt this year!


Hangin' out in Papa's chair!

Addison learned you have to move quick to beat Auntie Hannah to the chair!


Addy and her great-grandparents

So we are a little behind on our blogging! Life seems to be so hectic lately... so it has been a few weeks since we have made an entry.

Easter was a bit snowy this year, we got 15" of snow here in Wauwatosa on Good Friday! How frustrating! It had been pretty warm that week and all the other snow had melted. I was really looking forward to spring. But no such luck. We ended up shoveling...again. This has been the 2nd snowiest winter on record here in the Milwaukee area. I think they said we have had around 96" of snow. Which is WAY too much in my book! Bring on spring!

Other than the snow on the ground and it being cold, Easter was nice. We went to my parents in Johnsburg. Addison had fun going through her Easter baskets. She enjoyed chasing the plastic eggs across the floor! $.79 gifts are the BEST!

This past weekend we made an 8hr road trip to Ohio for a family friends' 90th birthday and to visit family. (I must say, Addison did great traveling all that way! I was worried how she was going to do being stuck in her carseat for so long, but she did awesome! It helped having Auntie Hannah in the back seat to entertain the munchkin!) Addy got to meet her great-grandparents and great-aunt and uncle for the first time on this trip. Its too bad we don't live closer so we could get together more often, but we enjoy the times that we do! We really had a nice weekend, it just went by so fast!

Now we are back to normal life. Hard to believe that it is April 1st already! Another 8 weeks and someone will be turning 1!! Addison is just growing so fast. Every day she seems to learn something new. I have been looking back at pictures from when she was just a few weeks old, or even a few months old, and WOW she has changed so much! Its hard to remember her as a little itty-bitty baby! We have SO MUCH fun with her, she is just a great little girl!
