Wish List

I'm thinking now is the time to get a new, light weight stroller for Miss Addison. Her travel system stroller was great while she was an infant, but now that she's out of the infant seat and sitting in the big girl part, it seems a tad bulky.

I've got my eye on this puppy, the Mia Moda Veloce:



Any of my Mommy friends have any thoughts or experiences with this?

**UPDATE**
I got this stroller and I LOVE IT! The ride is smooth, the steering is effortless, the extended sunshade is amazing, the seat fully reclines (which is nice for napping little ones), the storage basket is HUGE and the cupholder has won my heart! I highly recommend this model if you are in the market!

Our First Rash

We haven't had a diaper rash yet (knock on wood), but Addison has a case of Roseola. It's painful to see her little face and body covered in little red bumps, but we're told that it's a totally normal virus and to just let it run it's course. No medication or anything required!

Oh, and did I mention that we now weigh 22lbs?! Yipes!

I attempted taking some pictures, but the bumps are so small that it's hard to see...

New Wheels

We broke down this evening and went and bought Addison a walker. Boy does she love being mobile! Mama's got some baby proofing to do!

Her new wheels are shiny and red....just like G&G Hower and G&G Whitnall!

My Little Techie

Addison loves the computer. She's become really enthralled with it as of late. For instance, Karl will be holding her on one end of the couch and I'll be on my laptop on the other. She will squirm and wiggle to try her hardest to get to it. So, I decided to put the computer on the ground to see if she'd go for it...and sure enough, you have this video:




PS - Please excuse the Sweet Potato stain on her outfit. We're working on eating solids and I shot this right after dinner.

Visiting GiGi and Papa

On Sunday while we were out to celebrate Karl's Mom's birthday, we stopped to visit GiGi and Papa. Addison is the first Great Grandchild on both sides, and unfortuneately we don't get to make the 2 hour drive back home that often so that she can visit.

Her other set of Great Grandparents live in Las Vegas and have only gotten to see her right after she was born. Hopefully Great Grandma & Grandpa Eittreim will visit soon!

I finally remembered to take my camera out and snap some pics of her visiting with GiGi and Papa.

Enjoy!

First Word?!

Not quite, but lately Addison has been saying "mamamamamamamama." In addition to that she's beginning to crawl.

I was able to capture a little video tonight of her doing both! =o) That's our girl....a multi-tasker!

Tutu Cute!

I ordered this super cute Tutu from esty.com and thought it'd make for a great photo session, so off to JC Penney's we went! The actual prints have not come in yet, but here are the web previews:
