Over the weekend, Shane and I went to a surprise 40th birthday for a friend out of town. We decided it was best to have Addison stay with Uncle Dillon and Aunt Joy since it would be a bit of a drive and not much for her to do once we got there. It was really hard to leave town without her. We were already missing her while pulling out of the driveway at uncle Dillon's. While away, we received several updates (via text photos) from uncle Dillon and Aunt Joy, so it made being away a little easier. By the time we picked her up on Sunday, it seemed like an eternity! It was nice to be able to hold her again :)
Milestones:
Crawling: Last week we posted that Addie is crawling more and more but it has mainly been backwards. This week it seems as though she is trying to go in other directions. She was playing on a mat in the living room and crawled backwards off of the mat. A few minutes later, Shane and I noticed she made her way right back onto the mat facing forwards! It's only a matter of time before this kiddo will be all over the place!
Bouncer: Addie has started bouncing on her butt when she sits. Wether music is on or not, she will just bounce! She gets a kick out of herself when she does it too because she will look up at mommy or daddy to make sure we're paying attention and then she'll do it again and smile really big!
Rhythm: Of course we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse when it comes on and Addison loves the intro "M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E...MICKEY MOUSE CLUB-HOUSE, COME INSIDE IT'S FUN INSIDE"....yada yada yada.... Now, Addie will kick her feet or bounce to the rhythm of the song. She actually keeps with the beat too!
Little Smarty Pants: We have a toy projector that has a music button and a nature sounds button. While playing on the floor the other day Addie kept hitting the music button. At one point, mommy reached over and hit the nature sounds button. Addison looked up at mommy like "what do you think YOU'RE doing" and then hit the music button again. Mommy and Addie went back and forth like this for several minutes until we both started cracking up! It was such a kodak moment!
Winking: We're not sure where Addison picked this up, but she has started blinking and winking at us. She doesn't do it all of the time, but she started it the other night while we were eating at the dinner table. I was making faces at her and she just started winking and blinking back at both Shane and I. It's very cute!
Celebrity: For Christmas Addison received the cutest book from her cousins Ana, Roman, Grant, Jackson (Angela and Brian on Kristin's side). The book takes fairy tales like Cinderella and puts Addison as a character in the text! So she's famous!! :) We haven't had a chance to really look through it until this week when daddy was reading it to her at bedtime. She loved watching and listening to daddy read to her!

Uh oh.... :) Where did you get that?? Ha! She
LOVES to play with unopened cans when they are cold!!
Seeing how much she has grown and that
she's nearly longer than her diaper changing pad!
Loves playing in her toyroom!
Notice, that pumpkin has been in MANY pictures
and remains one of her favorite toys.
We've had it since October and it's STILL not old!
