Hot Days...

What do you do when it's so darn right "HOT" outside?
 

 

Play inside...in just your diapers!

 

This was us just a week ago, now we're enjoying the nice days of summer,

the ones when you can play outside more than 5 minutes!

 

 

And....she...is...off....

Watch out we have a walker!

 

She getting better and braver each day!

 

Splash Pad!

Sunday afternoon we headed downtown to check out the splash pad...

it was a nice and hot day...

and the girls had a great time....even though it was a busy lil' place!

Silly Sisters....

Full of SMILES this morning...

Happy Hump Day!

Addison is 11 months old....

Today Addison is 11 months  old...

....she currently weighs 24 lbs.

(according to our bathroom scale)

....is around 29 inches long
(according to our tape measure)

.....is still my lil' piggy, eating anything and everything (favorites right now canned carrots & watermelon).  She is still having just a couple bottles through-out the day and we have started mixing them half formula/half whole milk.

....still sporting those "BIG" 4 teeth but a couple other top ones have poked their lil' heads through this past month

....sleeping great at night, going down between 7:30 pm & 8:00 pm and waking up at 6:00 am/6:30 am the next morning!

....still sporting size 5 diapers

....still wearing 12 months clothes but I should probably get the 18 month tote out soon

....she is my happy girl....most of the times - if she's not happy there is a problem (hungry, tired and/or Natalie is bothering her, which is happening more and more all the time lately)

....still our fast lil' crawler - getting into EVERYTHING and has been up and walking just over the last couple of days!

...fun things we've done this past month included going to Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines (Addi's 1st time to a zoo), fishing with Daddy, hanging out with Grandma Rausch for a day, meeting new baby cousin Karlee Grace, went to VBS with Natalie, went to Grayson's birthday party, helped Daddy put together Natalie's new big girl bed, watched Natalie do gymnastics, went to "Touch-a-Truck" and went to CEC (for Natalie's b'day).

...celebrated big sister Natalie's 3rd birthday this past month too!

Happy 11 month birthday baby girl!

We love you!

1st Day of School.....

Here's Natalie ready for her 1st day in the Junior's Room at

Happy Time Daycare...

 

And then there's Addi ready for her 1st day in the Toddler Room at

 Happy Time Daycare...she would rather mess up the paper

and probably "eat" it - if I'd let her...

 

It's very challenging these days to get a good picture of the girls.....

both looking at me!



 

Here's to another great year of learning & growing!

 

 

Natalie's Swim Party....

was a blast, we had a yard full of family & friends!
The weather was warm but not too bad.....it was a day of fun!


Now are you ready for picture overload?

 

What a perfect day celebrating with are now.....3 year old!
