Hi,

Okay, so my attempt to keep up with this journal fell by the wayside. Let's face it - we all knew it would! That being said, I have four months of baby stuff to tell you!

On August 16th (my birthday) we took Addison to get her shots. She did wonderfully! We originally decided to move to Yuba City the day after so she could have time to rest, but as each hour passed I knew it was going to be harder and harder to leave. The nail in the coffin was saying goodbye to our next door neighbors and their boys...okay, I'll be honest, it was saying goodbye to Dawson. He's 4 years of cuteness and that little boy holds a piece of my heart. He's such a love. He also didnt understand why I was moving. (talk about a heart breaker!) As his mom and I explained it to him, I felt the tears welling up. There were so many good people we were leaving and it was hitting home. We pulled out of the driveway at about 8pm and thankfully I was so upset I forgot to look back.

The trip was a LONG one - which included a stop somewhere in Tracy (at least I think it was Tracy...) because Addison was crying hysterically and I had a migraine. We stopped for about an hour and then we hit the road again. As we pulled into the driveway in Yuba City, all I could think about was going to bed! After unloading the vehicles we were home.

My babies, Addison and Shaka, have adjusted well to the move. Shaka enjoys looking out the front window and running up and down the hallway! Hopefully she doesn't miss the stairs too much. ;) As for Addison, she's a little too young to understand what's going on.

Speaking of Addison, I suppose I should update you on her progress! After all, the name of this blog is Life With Addison Kay! Jason and I have had so much fun watching all the changes she's made over the past four months! It's like we have a completely different little girl! For starters, she is eating solid foods without much trouble! She can't have anything with apple's in it, poor thing gets horrible stomach aches from them. But, she loves everything else from peas all the way to peach cobbler! She is also sitting up on her own! She loves to sit in the living room and play on her blanket with all her toys surrounding her. She's also started attempting to crawl (just in the past 3 days)! Unfortunately, she's picked reverse as her favorite gear though! It's so cute to watch her scoot backwards! I have no doubt that she will figure it out soon, and start going forward!

Another part about Addison that we enjoy is her love for people! She gets so excited when she's out in public and is all smiles when she see's new people! Especially when they stop and talk to her, she always rewards them with an ear to ear toothless grin! I hope she continues this all through her life! We're still waiting for her to recieve her first tooth, hopefully that will happen for her soon! It's so hard for Jason and I to watch her struggle with sore gums and have nothing to show for it in the end!

Jason and I are very excited for Christmas to come this year since we will be able to watch it through our daughters eyes. I can't wait to see what she thinks of all the toys she's going to receive! Knowing our girl, she's going to have more fun with the paper wrap! Ha!

Til then,

Addi's Mama
