15 months

I know this is several days late, but I was waiting for her well-check visit so I could post some 'stats'! It's been a busy month for Addison. A couple weeks ago she started standing a lot more, and just within the last week has quickly moved to cruising along. She loves pushing her baby stroller across the room! She still doesn't want to hold your hands and walk, but now spends more time standing than she does scooting (or certainly a lot more than before, anyway).

She's also developed quite a personality. No matter where we go, she can make hearts melt. Just today she brought huge smiles to the doctor's face when she went over and gestured to be picked up. Dr. Davis said most kids run from her, so she was thrilled. Then later she was flirting with some police officers so much that I almost couldn't get away. She seems to have every one wrapped around her little finger. This could be very dangerous in the years to come.

Now that she's on the move more, it's EXTREMELY hard to get a picture of her. Here's the best I could do for her 15 month shot!





15 months old
20lbs.14oz. (25th percentile)
31.24" tall (75th percentile)

Yes, We're still here!

It's been a long time since I've posted any thing. It's partially due to the fact that my computer has been on the fritz, and partially because we've been so busy enjoying the summer. Here's a few of the things we've been up to...

Troy and Addison went to their first parade, the Enshrinement Parade for the College Football Hall of Fame. We didn't stay long enough (it was very sunny and l-o-n-g) to see Troy Aikman, but we got to see a lot of people and cool floats. Addison really liked the horses and Troy was impressed with the Sponge Bob balloon and the fact that he got to shake hands with Northwestern's mascott (the Wildcat).















Playing in the back yard...














Going to the zoo (pretty much weekly). Even better, when Grandma and Grandpa go... the kids get to do fun things like pony ride and eat suckers...
















Visiting with old friends (if you can count a fellow toddler as being an "old" friend)...






Even though we have been so busy, it's some how been relaxing and so much fun!!!
