10 and a half months old

Okay, I know we've fallen behind and I have a ton of pictures to share, so we'll just jump right in!!

Grandma came down to watch Addisyn a couple weekends ago so I could put together invitations for Aunt Julie's Baby Shower.  I think they wore each other out!!















Last weekend we traveled to NWI to go hang out with the Gettler cousins.  Here are some pictures from the party:

Look at that sweet face!  How can Niki not share her dirt pudding with Addisyn?!?  YUM!!

Hanging out with Uncle Joey!! :)

Hanging out.

Notice cousin Ella in her Bumbo seat.  She entertained herself with all sorts of sparkly things while we ate dinner.

This was Addisyn's first trip to the beach!  Here she is watching the waves with daddy.

Mommy, Daddy and Baby on the Beach!!

Playing in the sand with Cousin Ella!!

Here Ella, I'll share some of my sand with you!!

Uh oh.  You got some on your face!  Let me help you get that...

Here daddy, some for you too!  Look at all this stuff!!

Here's one of the whole Gettler Cousin Clan.

Ooooh.... that water is a wee bit cold!  But Addisyn loved putting her toes in the waves.

Walking on the beach with Uncle JJ.

Back at the house, hanging out with cousin Sabrina!

















Here are a couple that Nora took...

I love this one in black and white of Addisyn and Eric playing by the water.

Playing in the sand with mommy!!

The next day, we went to visit cousin Spencer and cousin Danielle.  Here are all the kiddos with Uncle Jamie.

Sitting with Spencer and Nana.

Here's one of mommy and Danielle and Addisyn.  Good lord, mommy looks tired!!

Playing with Spencer and Danielle.  These stacking cups are hours of entertainment!!












Here's a video of Addisyn sharing Grandma's mint ice cream drumstick.  I think baby likes ice cream!!

Addisyn also knows how to dance now.  Unfortunately, mommy thought we had video of her shaking her booty, but it turns out we don't.  I'll make sure to get one this weekend and upload it next time.  I know, Uncle Joey is going to be very sad about this.

10 months old

Addisyn turned 10 months old this week!  She's getting too big too fast.  Here she is with her Pebbles Flintstone hairdo! 

Playing with her polar bear slide.  She still doesn't let the balls go in the bear's mouth.  She puts them on the slide by the penguins and makes them spin.

Pumpkin fell asleep in mommy's lap.  Cuddle time is so sweet!!

Baby doll loves those mashed potatoes!!  She also loves the little crunchers.  We tried the cheese flavored ones this week.  I think they are a new favorite!  We also are making progress on signing "more please".  She puts her hands together now instead of banging her head on the back of the chair and throwing a fit!! :)








This video is absolutely hilarious!  Addisyn's laugh is so contagious!!  She sure loves to play with her daddy!!

Leonard Family Reunion and July 4th Weekend

We started the weekend with a trip to the Hub Bootery to get Addisyn her first pair of walking shoes.  Mr. Dockus fit Addisyn and of course, we had to have a sit on Sandy!!  No ride this time.  Mommy feared we'd scare baby to death if Sandy acutally moved! :)

Playing at the family reunion with grandma and grandpa!  Daddy got Addisyn her own ball to play with.  She wanted to steal cousin Benjamin's, but we couldn't do that.

Hanging with Uncle JJ for a while at the reunion.  We had such a fun time visiting with everyone.

Playing outside in the grass like a big girl.

Someone said it couldn't be done ... but Auntie Rosie has the magic touch.  She took the great grandkids for rides in their strollers and put them all down for a nap!  Mission Accomplished!!  :)

Back to playing with the big ball again.  Addisyn was talking up a storm and having a blast.  She also figured out how to play roll/bounce this weekend.  She'll kind of throw the ball to you and then she squeals when you give it back.  Such a smart girl.

So sassy!  Eating my cereal with G'ma and G'pa was making me smile. 

I know what that beep on the camera means ... Ham it up!!  :)

Playing on the 4th of July at Aunt Christie's house.  Addisyn had lots of fun pulling all the books out from under the table and walking along the couch and coffee table like a big girl.










Mommy got a new toy (thanks Jenny for the recommendation).  Here's Addisyn chasing her puppies and laughing!  So cute!!

Daddy likes the new camera too.  He calls this video "Women Drivers".  Mommy doesn't think it's funny, but baby doll sure is cute!!  :)
