Just chillin in her Bumbo...

I'd seen these small seats before, and wondered if Addison was ready for one of them. The seat is designed for infants 3 months and up, but she's been holding her head up more and more and I thought it might help her build the strength in her neck. (Obviously, reclining in her bouncer isn't helping her do that). So with a couple hours of down time yesterday, Addi's Daddy and I went to get her a "Bumbo" chair. She seems to like it...meaning, she didnt scream when we first put her in it! She's been in the chair a couple of times since yesterday and is still a little wobbly, but I think it was a good purchase!

Hi Everyone!

Happy 4th of July! Today is Addison's first 4th and it's hard to believe that we're not in YC celebrating as we do every year. Since the holiday fell on a Wedsnesday, it really put the kabosh on plans for fireworks this year. At least next year Addi will be old enough to enjoy all the hard work Daddy puts into his firework display! We can't wait!

Since fireworks are illegal here in SJ (and since the weather is supposed be 90+ degrees), we plan on keeping close to the house today. I'm sure Addison wouldn't have it any other way, as she has been enjoying her new tummy time play mat, and has been telling us all kinds of stories! She is also very close to completely turning over! She manages to get herself on her side, but her arm is usually in the way and it stops her from going all the way over. I bet she'll get the hang of it any day now. Her Dad and I watch with amazement and are so proud of her! She sure does keep us entertained!

But, for right now it's nap time...and Mama needs to run and get some chores done!

We hope all of you have a happy and safe 4th of July!!

Love,

Addi's Mama & Daddy

As she sleeps...

When Addison was first born I wanted to keep a daily journal of her life. I wanted to have a record of when she laughed, cried, and everything in between. So I went out and bought a beautiful leather diary and my favorite pens to write with ( I thought it would help give me incentive to write every day). Little did I know, my incentive wouldn't be the problem! This sweet new bundle of joy takes up ALL of my time! (I know, I know...all the Mom's out there are chuckling right now.) Needless to say, I have one entry in that journal and my daughter is two & a half months old! So, now that I'm on her schedule, I've been trying to think of ways I could still keep record of her milestones (at least), and her daily life (at best). I'm hoping this blog will help me with that. One good thing about it is - I can include pictures!!!

Wish me luck,

Addi's Mama
