Swinging at the Park

We took little miss Addie to the park today by our house and did a little swinging. I was nervous that she is still a little too small but she didnt have a single problem with it. She LOVED it!! 

She is swinging toward me in these pictures and just smiling it up 

Such a cutie!! 

Giggling with Addie

Adam did some pushing too. The swing was pretty low so we ended up just sitting in front of her and it was way more fun just being able to giggle at her and push her at the same time. 

So if you want to hang out with us on the weekends now, we will most likely be at this park now :) 

Crawling, Standing, and Jungle Gyming

I was tempted to preface this post with a warning about how long its going to be and how it will be filled with pictures but then I thought to myself, you probably wouldn't even be looking at this if you didnt want to see lots of adorably cute pictures of Addie so no warning, just enjoy!! 

Addison this week has been outragously cute and getting so big. She has been doing so many big girl things and I'm just blow away on a daily basis how much she does now. 

1st thing that is new, we have now switched sides of her tub, she is now on the sitting straight up side rather than the slanted newborn side. She can sit up unsupported now so bathtime is much more adventurous. She is constantly trying to just climb out the tub, not because she doesnt like a bath, its because she just wants to move all the time. 

2nd New Thing: She can now pull herself up to standing. She uses whatever is around her to help get her up and then she can stand for about a minute before tumbling down. 

Using moms legs to help her stand up.

Using her walker to help herself stand up

3rd new thing: She loves climbing. She will climb on blankets, pillows, and us of course. This black blanket folded up has been a really fun toy this week. 

 And then crawling all over moms legs. 

She loves laughing and squealing lately. Not sure what this face was about but she was very concerned/excited.

 such a big girl!! 

 Sitting up on her own. She is sitting in my legs but its all on her own. 

 Super excited!!! 

How cute is this little person?? Addie is doing much lately and growing up so fast!! She continues to just be the most wonderful little baby and I am so grateful for her. 

Addison's 6 month check-up

 Addison's 6 month check up!

We had our 6 month check up and Addison did great! She is 16.7 pounds and 25 inches tall.

Getting her head measured, its 16 inches, full of brains!!  

My sweet girl before getting her shots.

Her band-aids from her shots.  

She did great, didn't like her shots too much but overall is such a sweet and happy girl. Addie continues to be the best part of our lives and we love her so much!  

6 months old!

Addison is 6 months old today!!! She continues to be the best part of my day. She is learning and growing so fast and we can hardly believe she is already 6 months. This feels like it flew by so I cant even image how I'm going to feel in 6 more months when she is a year old! 

6 Month Milestones:

-crawling

-rolling all over the place

-finally starting to get her first tooth

-sitting up without help 

- loves getting to everything and unplugging every cord in the house 

- wearing 6-9 month clothes, size 3 diapers 

- starting to want everything that we eat 

- loves jumping

- loves laughing and giggling

- still the most gorgeous girl ever 

so I try and get pictures of her now but its hard because she is always moving and trying to flip over so most come out a bit blurry 

or she is trying to rip the camera out of me hand 

or she is successful in getting over and then is trying to attack me

Attack!!

Most cases this is more of my view, bum up crawling around 

6 months old!!!! 

Grandparents Visit

We were so lucky this week to have grandparents come and play!! We had so much fun laughing, playing, and doing tons of new things. 

We went to Subzero and Addie got her first little tiny taste of some ice cream. She really liked it. She is getting really good at sitting up on her own and wanted to chat with grandma and grandpa. 

The three of them together is super cute. 

The next day we woke up early to go play at the hotel. She loved talking to grandpa about stories and life adventures. 

We went to Sundance and rode the lifts. It was so beautiful. The trees are already changing color on the mountain and it was so relaxing. 

Addison looking at the trees. I was a little nervous to take her on this but she was so good and didnt wiggle at all, just cuddled up to her dad so she wouldnt go anywhere.

We basically had the entire mountain to ourselves. 

My cute girl

How adorable is this little person!?

It started to get a little cold. We decided to have dinner at Sundance at it was AMAZING!! seriously best thing I have eaten in years. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it, so good! 

Grandpa and Addie discussing the problems of the world. 

Every time my mom and Smittie come up to visit they always want to ride the Heber Creeper Train. We managed to do it this trip. Addie's first train ride. 

She was pretty excited. 

The views were beautiful of the lake and mountains. They also had some live entertainment on the train. We happened to sit right in front of them but Addie loved it. She didnt take her eyes off of the singer the entire time. 

Taking a nap on the train together

Addison has started teething and one of her favorite things to chew on is a bottle. She loves the crinkly noise and the cap feels good on her gums. This was the entire second half of the train ride. She had this bottle in her mouth.

Back at the hotel just hanging out and talking. 

And her cute little shirt from the train. 

It was a great visit and our only complaint is that they couldnt stay longer. We love you and miss you already!!!
