Woo Hoo for Stage 2's!

We have now started Addison on 2nd Stage Foods! Her new list of foods makes me kind of jealous!

She as been eating things such as Apple Pumpkin, Spinach & Potatoes, Apples & Blueberries, Pears & Mangos, Summer Veggies (Corn, Zucchini, Green Beans, Carrots, Brown Rice & Garbanzo Beans), etc.

So far, so good! I think she likes these foods much better than the Stage 1's, which we kind of struggled to get through!

Changing Table Confessions

Since she was a newborn, Addison has always been very "animated" when on her changing table (aka her dresser). I happened to have the camera upstairs with me tonight and was able to catch the Chatty Cathy in action! Oh, and much to the emjoyment of her Daddy...she's now making "dadadada" sounds! Enjoy!

Reading is Fun!

Addison loves to look at books. She has qutie an extensive library already, but today at Target we picked up a few new Karen Katz books. Her favorite seems to be Twinkle Toes.
Here's a few pics of her enjoying her new books:

Happy 7 Months!

I can't believe that our baby is 7 months old today!

We went to the Dr yesterday for a check up. She's weighing in at 21lbs 13oz, and measuring 29 1/2"! 95th percentile once again. We got 3 shots and barely made a peep!

Some of our milestones are:

• Crawling


• Cruising


• Teething - we have officially cut our first 2 teeth! They're still growing in, but they're finally above her gums.


• We're now on to Stage 2 foods.

Addison attended her first Condors Hockey Game last Saturday and she did great! The season opener is tonight, so we shall see how she does with an even bigger crowd!

Here's the best picture I could get of our new additions:

Up, up and away!

I was finally able to catch Addison in the act of pulling herself up. You'll notice that she immediately starts to fuss because we haven't mastered the art of getting down yet! =o)

Houston, we have a crawler!

For a few weeks now Addison has had the Army Crawl down, but now we have learned to use our legs and are crawling like a pro, and pulling ourselves up on anything we can find.

I was finally able to coax her with the TV remote to crawl to me. I'm still working on trying to get her pulling herself up...hopefully soon!
