Addy's Been Busy, Busy, Busy!!

We were playing outside a couple weeks ago and Addy came in looking like this. Because we have had no rain (except one night last week) everything is coated in a layer of dirt, including Addy.



Addy started ballet and tap class last week. She absolutely loves it.



Today is Addy's 1st day of Pre-K. I can't believe how old she is getting. She was so excited to be back at school (and I admit I am excited too).

Drew is 7 Months Old!!

Can't believe how time is flying. We are more than half way to 1 year. I missed his 6 month post, but he hasn't changed all that much between 6 and 7 months.

He weighs 16.8 pounds (hasn't gained any weight since his 6 month appt.)

He is wearing 6-12 month clothes, but can still wear some of his 3-6 month clothes.

He is wearing size 3 diaper.

He is rolling everywhere. He can get himself up on his knees and rock, but so far we onlyh have backward movement. There have been several occasions where I have walked into the room to find him under the couch.

He is sitting up very well.

He loves to play with Addy and loves his toys and jumperoo.

He has the sweetest belly laugh and is extremely ticklish.

He is eating 32-34 ounces of formula a day and eating fruit for breakfast and fruit and veggie for dinner. (He eats lunch some days too).

He is getting to be a much better car rider.

He loves to swim. He kicks his little legs and flaps his arms as fast as he can go.

Addy is 4!!!

We spent the last few days celebrating Addison's 4th birthday. Andrea (Scott's mom) and Susan (Scott's sister) and her boys Rob and Danny came down from Arkansas on Thursday to help us celebrate. Friday we visited the Houston Aquarium to fill the afternoon before picking up Scott from the airport (he was in Honduras all week). I had forgotten how small the aquarium was and how much "stuff" was outside. It was soooooo HOT! Susan and Rob rode a few rides while the rest of us tried to stay cool after getting Icees. After the aquarium we picked up Scott from the airport and enjoyed a dinner at Johnny Carinos (yummy).

Saturday we woke and did last minute party preparation. Addy's party this year was at Cypress Academy of Gymnastics. It was so much fun. Addy and her friends had a blast.

After her friend party we had the family party at my parent's house. Addy got a new bike and a water/sand table and table and chairs for our new patio. Of course, we also swam. It has been so hot here that the pool water really isn't even refreshing (more like bath water).

Sunday we met an old friend and his family in Kemah for dinner. After dinner we rode some of the rides and enjoyed the evening on the boardwalk. This is the third year in a row that we have been in Kemah on or around Addy's birthday. I guess it has become a tradition that we might keep up.

Monday (Addy's actual birthday) Scott stayed home from work and we had donuts for breakfast (Addy was so excited to choose a pink donut with sprinkles - she also mentioned it was her birthday and she got free donut holes). Addy played with her new toys and then she chose to have pizza for dinner. She also tried out her new bike, but only for about 5 minutes - have I mentioned it is HOT!

Overall Addy's birthday weekend was a lot of fun. We were so glad to have Scott's family come celebrate with us.
