Pattison State Park Memorial Weekend

Just for fun

Bathtime in Grandma Linda's sink

Who doesn't love a baby face with carrots?

I told you she was a super roller, you just never know where she will end up

"Hey mom! Come and find me!"

Another engineer on our hands or maybe just a "tower builder"

beginning construction phase

yoga pose to help think of ideas

who could build a tower without diego underwear (yeah, no miracles here...just practicing)

Thinking about just the right placement

Final product..peace out

Happy Mom's day to me and every other mom too!

Great Grandma Vi and Addison I don't think she was to thrilled about this photo shoot

Mom and me

Mom and me

Addison and I spent Mother's day weekend in Montgomery with my mom, grandma's and aunts. We were treated to an awesome BBQ by Jarred and Mary on Saturday, played some Canasta, went to my cousin Kelli's baby shower, had a great brunch at Liz and Rich's and another yummy brunch at Larry and Serene's and then did some flower shopping. The weekend was very busy but we had a great time seeing everyone! Ethan and dad stayed home and planted lots of trees and got the yard spiffed up for summer.

Enjoying Spring!

Vintage Fashion Show- 7 months old!

Whazzzz up?

girlie girl

Summertime beach babe

Don't know how I managed to fit in this 12 month suit during the summer, it's a little on the snug side for Addie at 7 months

Modeling so some sweeeet sandals of moms

Warning: Flasher on our hands

Is this what they call a sweater zute-suit?? (forgive my spelling that was before my time)

"And now, Addie Karen, modeling the sweetest one piece, ever-so-itchy, stick to my skin sweater pantshirtfootie thing"

What mother couldn't resist dressing up her daughter in her very own beautiful fashionable baby wear from 1979-1980. Well, I whipped it out for Addie's vintage style show, cedar chest smell and all, and she thoroughly hammed it up for this photo session. (it didn't hurt that her brother was attempting to crawl into her exersaucer and made good entertainment for Addie) PS Addie's latest and greatest at 7 months is now rolling from one end of the house to the other, literally. Who needs to crawl? We got super roller.

Thank you Sinclair

On our way back from the north shore, Ethan got to enjoy a few minutes sitting and playing with the big dinosaur, thanks to our friends at Sinclair gasoline.

Happy Trails

We enjoyed a picnic lakeside at Temperence River State Park Ethan proud of himself that he ate is sandwich in one piece (usually it's the cheese, then the ham and maybe the bread) Addie taking a pit stop (or catch your breath stop) with mom

backpackin' buds

6 months old!

Thanks for the "fancy pants" Grandma Linda!

Okay since Addison is almost 7 months old now, I figured I should post some 6 months pics. She has now grown to 27 inches (91%) and 17.13 lbs (85%). She is starting to sprout a few more hair nodules. Her new nickname is spike(ette). She is loving cereal, fruits and veges. Ethan always seems to point out "Addie's messy, mom". She loves sitting in the highchair or if it's occupied as our centerpiece in her bumbo. She is working on sitting up on her own and does fairly well for a short period of time. After that she just likes to plop over. Addison's new favorite is her crazy brother. He makes her belly laugh all the time. It's so fun to watch them play together. Scott asked me the other day if it was normal that the 2 were getting along so well....yeah, my reply was "JUST WAIT!" It won't be long before the tattle taleing and sharing issues arise here. I guess I will just enjoy it now while she is immobile and can't talk. (because that luxury is not gone with terrible 2's Ethan) can you say WHHIINNOO!
