Addison is 24 weeks! We are so happy to be springing forward in this house. Addison and I spent a lot of time outside yesterday and enjoyed the warm weather! We also put her Lite Bundleme on her car seat! When Daddy was home for lunch we went out for a walk and later that day we set her Jumperoo on the deck for her to jump outside. She loved being outside. When we came in from the deck she was ready for a nap, she slept for about 1 1/2hrs before getting up. Got to love the work of fresh air!
We have had another eventful week this week. Addison continues to awe us each and every day. She is moving more and more, and has figured out how to go from sitting to her belly. It is not the most graceful move she does, and usually has her Boppy pillow behind her to help, but she gets where she wants to!! She is also doing wonderful eating her rice cereal. In fact she gets super excited when it is time to eat! I think we will start feeding her twice per day soon. She continues to talk with her "baba" and "gaga" and still laughs when we say "mama" and "dada."
One milestone that week after week I continue to forget to mention is how she holds out her hands for us! She first did this when she was 16 weeks old...yes, I know 8 weeks ago!! OOPS! My mom and I had just returned from a long day of shopping and she walked into the house with Addison, who had not seen her daddy ALL day! She saw daddy and immediately held out her hands for him. She did it a couple of times for Dan before she did it for me...can you tell she is a Daddy's girl?!! These past 3-4 weeks she has been consistently holding her arms out for us when she wants us. Usually while in her highchair, on the floor, or in her pack-and-play. It is so funny when you walk by her highchair and her arms go flying in the air saying "pick me up, pick me up!"
I want to share the video of Addison jumping on the deck! She loved it outside. She isn't doing too much jumping because she was trying to figure out why her toys were looking so funny through the glasses! I was outside in my jeans and a long sleeved shirt and was hot. I always question how warm I should dress her, but I think she was okay! We didn't stay out too long because I took her hat off since it was so hot and then realized that I had no baby sunscreen! She also did a wonderful job at keeping her sunglasses on. She would make some funny looks, trying to figure out how to look out of them at times, but she looked adorable in them!
Now for pictures taken from this week...
This is a foam sticker project that Uncle Max made for Addison. Being in Kindergarten, he loves these projects! He asked me how old Addison was and I told him 5 months...which is what the five is for. When I asked him what the "XO" stood for he replied, "you know what it means!"
Daddy feeding Addison her cereal! Daddy also decided he would try her cereal one night when he was feeding her and it soon occurred to him that it was mixed with my breast milk...lol!! We both laughed about it! He said that it had a bit of a sweet taste. No wonder she wouldn't eat her cereal when I mixed it with formula one time!!
More to add from our post last week! Addison sucking on her toe!! She is such a silly girl. She absolutely loves her feet! It is so fun to play with her and her feet...she just LOVES it and giggles and giggles!
Getting ready for our walk. What a cutie!!
Mommy and Addison before we headed for our walk!
Daddy and Addie walking. We live in a great location. We live on highway that turns to gravel so we can walk on the road because it is never busy.
Like I said, Addison is moving around the living room. Here she was facing the camera on the blanket and decided that the basket, or the sun shining on the floor was looking a little more interesting. She rolled and scooted until she was to her destination...and yes she is chewing on her changing basket!
