Nightime Fun!!

The last few nights putting Jackson and Addison to bed have been so much fun!!! Jackson has been all excited to do funny things to make Addison laugh and I have to say it works!!! They were so cute together I just had to take a few videos and a few pictures of them having fun together!!! I just love when the bedtime routine goes smoothly!!! And my favorite thing is hearing both our children laugh from their little bellies!!! So of course I let them play and have fun Thursday night together then Jackson woke up Friday with a 102 fever and a sore throat so off to the doctor we went which Dr. Anton thinks Jackson has either strep throat or tonsilitis!! Poor little guy!! We are hoping Jackson feels better soon and we are so hoping Addison stays healthy!!! Enjoy our cute little kiddos having fun!!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Addison!!!

Addison is 6 months old and I know I keep saying this but I just can't believe how fast this year is going!!! Addison is rolling front to back and back to front like a champ and she is not crawling yet but is scooting around to play with her toys!! Addison has been enjoying solid foods with her favorite being bananas!! Every time she starts to eat them she smiles and gets so excited!! She is such a happy baby and still just loves loves loves to be held!!! Addison is actually doing much better in the car she pretty much sits quietly playing with her toys or goes to sleep!!! It makes for a much better and happier car ride for all!!! And just this week Addison finally made the transition into sleeping in her crib aka "The pink palace" we call it and she is doing great!!! She protested and put up quite a fight the first night screaming for 1 hour and 15 minutes :-( which of course made me so sad so I kept going in and patting her on the back and reassuring her she was just fine!!! Then her second night she screamed for 25 minutes and the third night she went to sleep with no crying!!!! I would say we have achieved success!!!!! My favorite thing right now is the laughter that comes when Jackson is playing with Addison and they are both giggling and laughing together it is the sweetest sound!!! Ryan and I celebrated Addison's half birthday on July 10th with a cupcake for her while Jackson was at camp Mimi and Pop so he wasn't with us to celebrate! But boy was he mad when he saw Addison had a cupcake without him so he has asked that we celebrate again on her 7 month birthday :-) It has been such a great 6 months with our sweet Addison filled with lots of laughter, some crying ok maybe a lot of crying but most of all tons of love!!!! Happy 1/2 birthday Addison we love you to the moon and back!!!

Our little sweetie!!

Happy Birthday America 2013!!!!

We had a great time celebrating America's birthday in Tampa with Mimi and Pop!! It was so nice of them to come and spend time with us we so enjoyed their visit!!! Although I am pretty sure I wore my dad and Ryan out with my Honey do list :-) but they were troopers and I thank them tremendously for all their hard work!!! And thank you to Mimi for all the tons of laundry she did as well as cooking and cleaning and watching Jackson and Addison while we were getting all of "things to do" done!!!! And the 4th was filled with lots of fun with a barbeque, swimming in the pool and of course ending the night with fireworks!!! Happy Birthday America!!!!
