The Handley Family: Weekly Update - Happy 4th of July, 14 Months Old

Weekly Picture:

Of course I've been a little delayed on posting again, but I always keep track of events and milestones on my phone's notepad so I don't forget specifics! :) On Friday July 1st, mommy's cousins Angela (with her husband & kids) and Ashley came to visit us at the lake. We had such an awesome time with all of them and Addie seemed to love having the company around.

Milestones - Week of Friday July 1st to Friday July 8th (14 Months)

4th of July - We celebrated all weekend long but starting on Saturday, uncle Dillon set of lots of fireworks at his house. Addie seemed okay at first watching the bright lights, but eventually became annoyed (sleepy). The rest of the weekend and on Monday (the 4th), it was so late by the time fireworks were going that Addie was already in bed.

Bedtime Soothing - In Addie's crib, we keep a stuffed animal "Bear-Bear". The bear plays soft music when you hit the button the his back and then will shut off after 1/2 hour. In the last week, Addie has started hitting the button when the music stops playing if she's still awake.

Pekaboo - We've posted before about Addie playing pekaboo. It's even cuter now because she will hide behind just about anything and wait for you to say "BOO". She uses curtains, pillows, toys.... ANYTHING to play pekaboo!

Visit to Illinois - We left on Tuesday the 5th to go visit Nana in Chicago with cousins Blake and Avryl. We had a great visit with Nana! We went swimming, played around the sand volley ball pit, and just had FUN. On Friday the 8th, we went to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Kuntz for a bit. Addie had fun "talking" with them and playing with toys at their place.

Food Habits - We have taken Addison off of baby puree completely. She still only has her two top and bottom front teeth, but is really good at mashing most food, enough to swallow.
