Corn pickin'!

So that isn't a play on our last name - we actually did pick some corn yesterday! Well, Mommy actually just shucked and creamed corn, but Daddy, Aunt Lynn, Aunt Leslie, Uncle Skye, and Gramma and Grandpa picked and did all of the other stuff, too! Addie and Holland had a blast hanging out under the beach tent that Aunt Lynn got at her baby shower! They kicked and cooed, although never at the same time. Oh, and they also snoozed a bit, too :)

Addie also had a great time with her Elmo doll that Gramma got her. Elmo has a paci just like Addie's, and he sings a cute song and Addie gets a kick out of it!

We all had a great time and really enjoyed getting outside for a little while - although it was HOT; well above 90 degrees and super humid. But being with friends and family made up for it. We just missed Uncle Kris as he was sick with a summer sinus infection. We hope he's feeling better soon!

Three months and Addie's first cold!


This month has been very eventful! I returned to work, which was the hardest thing I've ever done. It is getting easier every day, though, and Addie seems to ADORE her "school"! She is always playing and smiling whenever we go to pick her up - and all the teachers are in love with her. But really, how could they not be?

She is the joy of our lives. We look so forward to the evenings and weekends now so that we can spend precious time with her! She is so much fun! She found her feet a few weeks ago, so they are rarely out of her hands. She smiles at just about everything and is just so happy!

Unfortunately, Addie and I have been sick for the past couple of weeks. We got a cold and Addie's turned into an ear infection. She is such a doll though - the only way we knew she was sick was that she had a fever. She's never missed a beat and has only been slightly fussy, even when we knew she had to be feeling pretty rotten. But that bubblegum-flavored amoxicillin that I remember fondly from my childhood doesn't seem to be such a hit with Addison ;-)

Addie continues to be a hit with the family - she just got to meet her Uncle Nathaniel and her Great Aunt Carol. Both agree that she is adorable and both took tons of pictures, which I'll be sure to post as soon as I get them. She also attended her Great Uncle Timmy's surprise birthday party a few weeks ago and was just loved on all night! The picture is of her from that night - what a cutie pie...she's eating her overalls, but you get the gist :-)
