Swinging on the Patio

One of the nice features of the Kingwood area and the new house we live in is how easy it is to connect with the outdoors. We have been going for a walk on the "Greenbelts" here. These are basically similar to sidewalks except that they go all over Kingwood and are behind the houses instead of in front of them. These trails make it very easy to access the local parks and pools. While scouting out the parks and community pool closest to us we took Addison on the swing with us. She liked it a lot and immediately began to smile. I remembered that we had our own swing at the house that we did not have a chance to hook up previously. When we came home, I attached the swing to the back patio and took the following pictures and movie.

Crawling Movies and New Play Area

Addison loves the new play area in the front of the house. She zooms around on the floor and will even chase Kelly and I. Everything is padded so she can tumble all she wants and not get hurt.
In the above picture she is trying to escape her play area.Here she is scooting across the carpet.
Above is a picture of the fan in the room that she likes to look at sometimes. This is her Dora the Explorer chair that Kelly's mom gave her. She like to sit in it like this and slap the back of it.
Here she is posing for the camera.



Below are two links to videos of Addison crawling:

We Moved!

We moved into a 2000+ square foot rent house in Elm Grove at the beginning of the month and have been unpacking ever since. Addison now has a play room in the front of the house that she can crawl around in and throw her toys everywhere. She is crawling a lot now, and does not like to stay in one spot for long. We padded the area she plays in with pillows from Kelly's brown couches in case she tumbles. I will try to get some pictures up this weekend, even if there are a few boxes in the background.
