Over last weekend, Addie and I went to visit "Aunt" Robin (Kristin's Cousin) and cousin Alexa in Morton, IL. We had such a great time with them. Addison loved crawling around with Lexi and exploring all new grounds. It was really nice to see the girls interacting with each other. While we were able to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Kuntz, Nikki, Stacy, Taylor, and Aunt Sheryl. I was able to get some cute pictures of everyone.
The weather was AMAZING this week. The best part about such awesome weather was that we were able to go for lots of walks and soak up some sun. Sometimes, the walks put Addie to sleep. Other times, Addie will hum and "talk" as we are strolling.
Milestones:
First St. Patricks Day: We didn't do much this year for St. Patty's day, but we did put on our green and meet daddy for lunch. Most people drink green beer or eat Irish-themed foods. Addie ate her green vegetables! :)
Closet Curiosity: Addie has always been fascinated with our closet in the master bathroom. It has huge mirrors on it that reach the floor so she is able to see herself. The doors on it move left to right to access the closet. Thursday, Addie was exploring as usual around to different rooms. I had walked into the master bathroom and noticed that the closet door was open. I usually keep it closed when she's crawling around in there so I thought it was unusual but went ahead and closed it and went on about my business. Out of the corner of my eye, I began to see the door move. I look down and see that Addie is opening it! After that, it became a game. I would close it and she would open it or vice versa. Now it's her favorite thing to do when she's in our bathroom.
Exploring Textures: Addison is at the stage in her life where textures are really interesting! We just got new carpeting put in our master bedroom and she loves to bury her fingers in the threads of it. Soft materials are also a favorite of hers. The other evening, we were winding down for bed and Addie was sitting with us watching TV. We looked over and noticed that she was feeling the bedspread (a satin-type material) and then burying her face in it. It's neat to see her reaction to different textures.
Crawling Update: Addie LOVES to crawl towards mommy and daddy! We get on our knees or belly and no matter how far away we are, she will make the trip. She gets the biggest kick out of it too!
Stuffed Toys: This goes a little bit with exploring textures, but Addie loves to bury her face in stuffed animal toys. She does it mostly when she's tired or really playful. She will smile really big and rub her face back and forth and sometimes giggle. It's way cute!
Sleeping habits: Addie hasn't slept more than 3 hours straight this week! She's not acting sick or anything, just not able to sleep. We put her to bed in the evening and she is up within 2-3 hours. Mostly, once she's up she will either want a bottle or paci. Sometimes she will get up and just fuss for a bit and go back to sleep for another two hours. I don't know if this is common
