Addison and I got to spend 10 whole days in mommy's hometown of Madison with Nana and Pop. During the 10 days there, Addison really grew and changed. She now LOVES her little activity mat and can grab the monkey and the parrot...but I always caught her babbling to the polka dotted giraffe. It started with just hitting at the parrot, but soon I saw her grabbing the monkey's tail and trying to bring it to her mouth! She loved playing on it so much, she would fall asleep in mid-play. :)
Mommy also realized that Miss Addison gets grouchy after she's been awake for 2-2 1/2 hours, so mommy watched the clock and made sure Addie-bug got a nap every 2 1/2 hours or so after eating. This made for a very HAPPY baby the whole time we were in Madison!
She's also started sleeping through most of the night...and I'm sure I'm jinxing myself by typing it out right now, but the past 5 nights or so, she has slept from around 9:30 to 6:30 or so the next morning! I actually caught myself drooling for the first time in 11 weeks!!
Addison is also fascinated with her hands, especially the thumb! Now every time we hear sucking, she has her thumb in her mouth and she's getting really good and hitting the mark most of the time. She still hasn't gotten the idea to close the rest of her fist, so she pokes herself in the eyes a lot!
Not too much longer till we end up on our belly! :)
Just thought I'd share the little wiggle worm.
This past weekend, the Timm fam made their 3rd annual trek to Gatlinburg. I must say, Grandpa Bear went all out this time and the cabin we stayed in was amazing. Brian and I had our own little terrace off of our bedroom and the views were gorgeous. Brian got quite a few shots of the sunrise. Friday and Saturday were just spent enjoying each others company and drinking multiple pots of coffee. I would hate to know how many pots of coffee we went through the entire weekend! Sunday we finally left the cabin to head into Gatlinburg where Addison got a lullaby cd with her name on it and Mom-Mom got some awesome decaf coffee-French Vanilla Creme-from Coffee and Co. I really wanted Blueberry Crumble (had it last year, amazing!) but they were out. To my delight, you can order online-www.coffeeandco.com- and I highly recommend it if you are a coffee lover.
to drop Bella off at Nana and Pop's house, where she was spoiled rotten and loved every minute of it. Addison had a slight blow-out of the diaper in Campbellsburg, KY, but after a quick change at the gas station, she was out like a light until we got to the cabin! She did just as well on the way back and was happy to see Nana and Pop again Monday night. She loves the deer heads in the family room!!
