Grandpa Ron comes to visit

Keith's dad and Wilma were in Tampa this weekend and we drove over to Aunt Jenny's to see them. We had a cookout and spent the day outside it was lots of fun! Addison got to swim with Aunt Jenny and spend time with her Grandpa Ron that she doesn't get to see very often. She was on her best behavior and even took a long nap in her daddy's arms. She got to meet her Great Aunt Marsha and Her Great Uncle Gene (who thought she was going to be a boy) Marsha says she meant tomboy now...We'll have to see. It was great to see everyone and spend time with them.

Addison and the Rodeo

This Saturday we went to the St. Lucie County Fair! We watched the Rodeo and saw the Clydesdale's and so much more...We had corn dogs, funnel cake, cotton candy oh my! Grandma Jan and I gave Addison the smallest taste of cotton candy and she was up until midnight! Grandpa Ken and Addison feed the animals in the petting zoo carrots and it was so much fun. Addison didn't even mind the Cowgirl hat. The whole Rodeo thing was very Brokeback mountain to me but I loved it......it reminded me of being a little girl and going to the rodeo with my daddy. Something Addison can look forward to...maybe not the rodeo... that's up to keith I don't think he enjoyed it as much as I did!

Addison's latest Milestones

Addison has gotten so big! She is 16lbs and 26' long! She is eating solid foods and drinking from a sippy cup!!! It didn't take her long to master the tilt head back and suck routine. She is eating cheese, crackers and anything else that will go in her mouth....as long as it's not cottage cheese....She hated that! She is pulling herself up and will stand up holding on to something or someone and she is trying to crawl. She loves to stand with her butt in the air and her hands on the ground I think she will crab crawl first if not walk! She is saying Da Da now and she got her first tooth! Months 6 and 7 were huge months for her!!

Bath Time with the Duckies!!

Addison's favorite part of the day is the bath! She loves the Water! Grandma Jan used these ducks at my baby shower and now Addie swims with the Ducks! These are actually two different bath times. Addison is going to be a great swimmer she love the water in her face. She however hates the getting dry part and the putting clothes on part, I hope that it wears off before shes to old.

St. Patrick's Day

For st. Patrick's Day we had tickets to see the Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavs. We took Addison with us and we had fun. Keith surprised me and got me the Green JJ Redick jersey. I think our days of Addison sleeping through loud events are over since it felt like I spent most of my time out of my seat. Next time a babysitter will come in handy!

Fun weekend at the Grant Seafood Festival

We went to the Grant Seafood Festival this weekend with Nicky, Chad, Addison's Favorite, Gabe, Beth and Andrew! It was a seafood lovers paradise, they thought!!!! We deifiently missed the memo to bring a tent, chairs and bikini's. While the girls took the kids to the playground Chad, Keith and Andrew went from tent to tent trying the fried oysters and hush puppies to fried shrimp to the crowd favorite deviled crab. We put Addison in the swing for the first time and she loved it!!! It was so hot a record 89 degrees here and we felt every bit of it. After we were done we went to Beth and Andrew's and Addison and Gabe braved the cold water of the pool thanks to Nicky. We all got pretty sunburned and by the time we got home Keith wasn't feeling well and Chad believes he got food poisoning. I don't think we will make the 43rd Annual Grant Seafood Festival!

Happy Valentines Day

It's Addison's First Valentines Day and she is growing so fast! She this morning much to my chigrin has been saying DaDa DaDa all morning! The tell tale sign to if we can write this down as her first word will be if she says it to DaDa/Daddy when he gets home! Happy Valentine's Day to all!
