Mi mamasita

Every weekday I have to take the dogs out one at a time (for safety) in the afternoon with Addison in the front carrier.  I have to take the service elevator down 29 floors, which would not be bad if it wasn't so busy!  All the maids and maintenance staff use the service elevator.  Typically this process takes me an hour, most of which I am waiting for that darn elevator.  I only have to do that 17 more times!  Woohoo!  So glad that Addison doesn't seem to mind it...I think she likes the maids!  They call her "mamasita". 

My little mamasita gave us a little chuckle yesterday for the first time!  I spun her around and I heard a little "haha"!  Today she realized that she can squeal/scream. 

Thank you Hibberd Family!

Went to visit Mom yesterday for dinner which was nice, however I was sick.  I had a very bad stomach ache, but I feel great today!  I haven't been sick in over a year and it was awful.  Well Mom brought me some goodies...new soft books for Addi (she loves them!) and two packages from Brad and Linda Hibberd.  THANK YOU!!!  We love everything!

Our play area has expanded : )

Reading a book...need to get more "soft books"

Drew is at softball practice for work, the game is next week and Addison and I get to go!  Looking forward to a visit from Grammy this weekend!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy first Father's Day Andrew Clement Ritter and Happy Father's day Steve, Dad Barber, and Dad Ritter!  We love you all so much! 

15 weeks old

Addison is 15 weeks old and learning new tricks every day!  On Thursday she rolled belly to back twice! On Friday she rolled back to belly twice!  Today she didn't roll, but I am keeping the video camera handy.  It was so good to see family and friends and tomorrow we will see more family as the whole Ritter family is coming to town!  Addison loves her family and grandparents....she was smiling and cooing the whole time!  Grandpa Barber nick named her "Chaddy Addi"!  It is good to be "home" though...mostly just good to see Drew.

14 weeks old

Addison is 14 weeks old! 

She has graduated to: 1) a size two diaper and 2) to a sleep sack (no more swaddle blanket!).

Tomorrow Andrew is headed to New York for three days so I am headed to the west coast.  This will be my first "road trip" alone with Addison.  Usually I sit in the back with her!  I wish there were more exits on Alligator Alley!  We are going to miss Drew, but I'm glad Tiffy and Drew can see each other.

Our little Bam Bam

Thank you Grandma Barber for the cute new outfit!  We have been calling Addi, our little Bam Bam today!

Today we got a doorway jumper for Addison!  She's not quite sure what to do yet, but I'm sure within a few weeks she will be a jumpin' baby!

Drew (using my toothbrush!) and Addison.  We have had a toothbrush fiasco between Lou Lou licking them and Drew using mine; we got two new ones today to start over fresh.
