My favorite things

Addie has really started showing affection and it is the most precious thing ever. He has been giving kisses for a while but is now making a kiss noise when he does it. He kisses all the time and will even kiss da da and i's ouwies if we have them.

He has also started saying hug. He will wrap his arms around your neck and say hug. It melts my heart. If I say squeeze, he will squeeze you as hard as he can!

He has started sleeping with his bear and blanket. He cuddles in for night night and is serious about having them for his cuddle session. He gives his bear night night kisses and talked to himself while falling asleep. I will hear him saying "bear, ma ma, da da, night night, etc". It is really cute.

He has also started saying more two syllable or pairs of words... Air plane, trash truck, and outside to name a few.

Our little guy is growing up. I wish you could all be here to see all the little things. Hopefully the blog makes you feel like you are a bit closer!!!

Balls and bouncing

We always ride the train at the mall and today we decided to try the bouncy house. He LOVED it! It even had a basketball goal inside!
I do think we have created a monster though! They only let you stay in for 5 minutes and he was not ready to get out yet!!!

Swing or sled?

Patrick takes down addies swing to use it as a makeshift chin up bar. If he forgets to hang it back up Addie notices right away and drags it around the yard like a sled. It cracks me up.

Bathtime

He is rocking his new favorite bath toys.... Paint pens. He loves to squeeze them in the water. It always looks like a paintball war zone when he finishes!

Partying in the car

I had to switch over the car seat so I let Addie play in the car while I was getting everything situated. I think he had more fun than at the park! It was pretty funny. He didn't want to stop! He even found da da's surf wax and "colored" on the windows.

Eating the paint!

Gymboree

We have been hearing great things about gymboree for a while now. We signed up for art class and get to attend play gym as part of the package. Addison has a blast there! He can climb and rough and tumble as much as possible.


Conquering climbing.


When he sees a slide he says "wee. Slide". It is patricks favorite! (piper is rocking it out in the background!)

Nursing home day

We went with jess and piper to help with their volunteer class. They do it every first Tuesday of the month. Since I am not working on Tuesdays we were able to join them this time.
Jess does a wonderful job. She led songs, we played instruments, had storytime and just let the kids play. Ali and her daughter Mia came too!

Bird rock 4th of July parade

Bird rock had a 4th of July parade and it was too cute! The parade was made up of local kids on homeade floats. I felt like we had gone back in time and were living in a small town. I can't wait for next year!

Bella

Ali got married 4th of July weekend so we got to watch Bella. Addie had a blast! We took her on tons of walks and Addie even held the leash (from his stroller).


Addie would lay down on her bed and say night night. Bella loved it and gave him tons of kisses which cracked him up. This went on for atleast an hour. It was pretty entertaining.


Addie playing fetch with Bella. They were a perfect team! Although I think she wished he could throw farther! (in a few months Bella!!!)

Yum yum

It is well known that Addie likes to eat. A few weeks ago we pulled into the grocery store parking lot and I heat a "yum yum" from the back seat. Too funny! After we got home he proceeded to go through all the bags, picking out his favorite things and handing them to me for opening.

All by myself

Addie's high chair convertts to a booster seat and we made the switch. He loves it because he can climb in by himself. The only problem is that our dining room table is too low for the chair to fit under. Oh well, he still loves it!

Pizza!!!

Addie had a really rough weekend of sleeping! He kept on waking up every 30 minutes so finally we just got him up for a bit. Patrick had just walked in with a pizza and Addie was so excited! He thought "so this is what happens after I go to bed"- ha! He just had to have two slices!!!

He likes to say "dude" whenever he puts them on. Da da taught him that!

Audrey and Courtney's Last Day at the Rec Center

The Frazier family have moved to Austin. We sure are missing them! Here are some pics of the three little guys (Audrey, Piper and Addie) hanging on the blanket.

We love you Audrey and Courtney!!!! Texas sure is gaining a great family!

Popsicle Time

Addie is enjoying his Popsicle. I never knew a Popsicle could be so messy. Needless to say we both had to change outfits after and numerous toys and the patio had to be hosed down. It was well worth it!
