Its been awhile since my last update, I apologize for that, time just seems to slip away too quickly. We spent the 4th of July as a family until Alex threw his back out picking Addison up (either he's getting old or she's eating too many oatmeal cream pies!) Alex could barely walk so we got him comfy on the couch at home and then headed over to our friends pool party.
Addison and I were having so much fun that an hour into the party we convinced daddy to take some pain killers and join us. Even though he sat in the same lawn chair the whole time, he had fun and it was great to spend that time as a family. Addison swam around the
whole pool again and again with her friend little friend Wrigley. She was in a floaty with leg openings so she wouldn't slip through but she loved the freedom she had! She was belly laughing the whole time trying to catch up to her friend. She got pretty darn good at kicking her little legs by the end of it!
At dusk the party guests started setting off a bunch of fireworks in the backyard and Addison for the record was NOT a fan. She was absolutely petrified and only wanted Daddy to hold her. The city of Queen Creek has a festival and fireworks show at a local farm every 4th but it is $10 a car for admission not to mention a
madhouse, so luckily enough the party we went to was in great viewing distance from the show and far enough away that the "BOOMs" weren't too loud. Addison enjoyed the display but not as much as I had imagined. I thought she would have been mesmerized but she was more interested in eating her cookie :)

Mommy and Addison...nice face!
Daddy protecting her from the fireworks...you can tell she is less than thrilled!
Lately I have been caring for my friends daughter Bryar who is just 2 months older than Addison. This morning Bryar came over at 6:30 and kept asking "Addi asleep? Addi asleep?" Since I am SO boring to hang out with, we finally went to wake Miss Addison up at 7:45 and they both lit up when they saw each other! Immediate squealing and spazing out commenced, followed by 3 more hours of the same :) They love each other so much and rarely act out when they are together, it is just so cute to watch them. I think my favorite today was when they held hands to dance
or when they both found a pair of my platform shoes (and we are talking 4" platforms!) and decided to put them on and parade around the house. It was the funniest looking thing, the shoes were as big as them!
Their favorite thing is to go "wee!" on the slide
Loves her swing!
