"Walking Chair"

I could not live without a rocking chair these days!  So much for not using "sleep props" ... Addison is addicted!  Dad and Kim got us a rocking chair for our Miami summer and I use it throughout my entire day.  One problem I have is that it "walks".  I never stop where I start.  This reminds me of my Mamaw, my Dad's mother.  I'm not completely sure why, I will have to ask my family.  I do remember a picture of my Mamaw in our "walking chair" on the porch of our house on Crocus Court.  It was a wooden chair with a lattice back and seat and it was known for it's walking capabilities! 

Anyway, Drew is at a Marlins game tonight.  He was excited about it, but also bummed to miss the Heat game. 

Here is a better picture of Addi's new core exercise: 

Ab Exercise!

Addison's new thing is to do little crunches...she does it all day long!

I just weighed Addison (with clothes, after she ate) and she weighs 12 lbs!  She has almost doubled her size since birth!

I love the weekends!

I have come to love and cherish the weekends now that Andrew is working such long hours.  This weekend we were able to drive over to the west coast to eat dinner with the Ritter's and celebrate Stephen's graduation.  I wasn't sure how Addison would do last night with the drive, but I fed her at 8:30pm, we drove across the Alley, and she slept in her car seat without waking up until 7:00am!   

So excited that most of my best friends now have blogs!  I wish we could all live in the same city, but at least now we can keep up through our blogs!

3 months old!

Wow, can't believe my baby is three months old today!  I'm excited because she is ready for more and more toys now, but it was sad to pack away all her 0-3 month clothing.  Tomorrow we are going to see the Ritter family and congratulate Stephen (Uncle Steve) on his high school graduation!  Addison will also meet her Great Great Aunt Donna!

Addison's first 3 months!

(I know there is a typo...sorry)

13 weeks old

Today Addi is 13 weeks old!  We almost have a 3 month old!  I have taken all the tags off of her 3 month clothing and washed them!  Excited to see what fits!

Catch up: The vacation rental in Coral Gables didn't work out for us sadly.  We enjoyed the area very much, but there were too many insects (moths, termites, and 2 roaches!).  We packed up and unexpectedly spent the weekend on the west coast, which was very nice...busy of course, but nice.  We saw G & G Barber, the Ritters, and Grammy and Poppy (short for PopTart).  Monday we got to stop by Kristina's house for a quick visit!  Monday evening Mom and Steve helped us move into a new vacation rental in Brickell.  So far we love it.  This area is very similiar to Chicago and we have come to like the city life I guess.  We are on the 29th floor in a one bedroom.  Its bigger than our studio convertible in Chicago and there are a few things that I love: the balcony, no carpet, and dimmer lights!  I will post some pictures soon.  Two more months in Miami.

Baldness runs in the family : )
