Visitors

Toward the end of September, Carolyn Drake and her mom stopped by, along with Becky Drake(Carolyn's Daughter, pictured below) and Becky's nine month old daughter Gibson. Addison was very social at first, but then got nervous and wanted to be held by Kelly or myself.


Fresno State Game from last month

Remember when I said we were a bit behind in our posts? Anyway, we went to visit College Station for the Aggie Game vs Fresno State. We stayed with Kelly's friend Shannon(see picture below) that weekend. Addison didn't actually make it into the stands since it was really hot and we weren't sure how she would react to a stadium full of screaming fans. We'll wait until she is a bit older to brave the blistering sun and deafening roar of Kyle field.

Been A While...

I know it has been a while since we posted. Let me start with a few pictures of what Addison has been up to.



She loves her exersaucer and plays in it daily for short to extended periods of time. She actually slaps the keys on the keyboard to make noises now instead of just leaning on the keys with her elbow.




Addison has also been eating like a champ. She currently eats rice cereal, green beans, and of course her bottle. She is also fond of chewing on her high chair straps and the arch with toys hanging from it that fastens to her tray with suction cups. On rare occasion, she will even hold up her own bottle as seen in the last two pictures. I say rare, because she is usually flailing her arms and turning her head to look around. I'm told we are going to start her on green peas here soon, so lets hope she likes them better than I do.




She can also stay sitting up on her own without any assistance. However, she does tend to fall over if anything gets her attention and she moves toward it. Addison has "discovered" her feet and ears as well. She will grab her feet and even put them in her mouth on occasion. She will also tug on her ears a bit when she is playing around. At first we thought this may be a sign of an ear infection, but everything is fine.
