Best Buddies

This past week we went to my parents for Thanksgiving. While we were there, Addison had the opportunity to play with her cousin, Aspen. Aspen is about to turn 1 year old, and like Addison was, is pretty easy going. Well, Addison, on the other hand has gotten pretty naughty when it comes to sharing toys and playing fair. It was a constant battle trying to get Addison to stop fussing everytime Aspen came toward the toys. I tried severl attempts at putting her on time-out, but my Mom insisted that she didn't know any better. I agreed until Addison deliberately placed a toy in front of Aspen, and then as soon as Aspen went for the toy, Addison fussed and took it away!! Where do they learn these things? Definately not from us! Well, all in all they got along pretty well and had a great time playing.

Pig Tails

We are so excited that Addison's hair is growing at a faster pace, so Mom has gotten carried away with the pig tails. Well, you can see for yourselves.

Goodbye infant carseat

Before Addison was born, the American Board of Pediatrics rule for booster car seats was 20 pounds or 1 year old. Since then they changed the rules to 20 pounds AND 1 year old. For Addison's 1 year well baby check up she only weighed in at 17 1/2 pounds, so we were totally bumbed that she had to stay in the infant seat until she reached 20 pounds. Well, 2 weeks ago we went in for her 15 month well-baby check and we are happy to announce that she is finally 20 pounds, barely. She is so proud of her "big girl" seat, and the fact that she can see Mom and Dad when she rides in the car. No more rear facing carseats for this girl!

Video Clip

You have to check out a video of my 4 1/2 month old niece laughing. Just click on the link to Bowles family on the right, it is too funny.

Costume blooper

I mentioned in the last entry about Addison trying to take her halloween costume off. I finally figured out how to download the video clip, so enjoy.

Halloween 2007

Addison celebrated her 1st official Halloween this year. We had her dressed up as a bumble bee, but didn't like her costume on all that much. I have a video of her trying to take her costume off, but I don't know how to download it. I will have to post it later when Brad can show me how.
