We had a big day today. We sat up in our bouncy seat and had a great time!! I can't believe how big she is getting. she is reaching for items on her activity mat when she lays on it.

Addison's getting big!!

Those big blue eyes will get you everytime!

Addison and Tucker obvious got along great!

It was the first time that Jackie and I got to visit since my wedding. A lot has happened for both of us. Jackie and her family live in a beautiful beach town on the south shore of Boston. It was a wonderful visit. They have a great view from their porch of the harbor.

I can't help but being a proud mommy. I think that she is the cutest thing on the planet. She brightens the gloomiest day. She has decided that the bottle is not such a bad thing thank goodness for mommy. It only took her two days of not eating.

The Hambrick Family has been busy! We were in Boston and Newport, RI last week for my little brothers wedding. He is the one in the picture above with Addison and I. He had gotten engaged at my wedding.

Daddy, Addy and I. I am not so sure she loved her pretty dress that grandma got her for the wedding and rehearsal dinner. She was always a little happier when she got her pj's on.

Ben and Lauren had a great reception at a beach club. The send off was beautiful with the ocean in the back ground. We hope that they are having a great time in St. Thomas.

There are more pictures on the left side of the blog from the rehearsal dinner. I went back to work this week. It might have been one of the worst days of my life. Addison was still not taking a bottle when I left on Tuesday morning but thank goodness for my step father. Bruce got her to take a bottle by mid day. Addy took 4 oz. of milk by the end of the day. I never thought I would be so excited about 4 oz. in my life. It is the little things in life.

Busy Week

Proud Papaw!

We got to meet Great Mamaw for the first time!

Addison discovered her hands last week. They are a source of entertainment!

Addison had so much fun at Grandma's 80th Birthday Party, she had to sneak in a nap.

Last week, we took our second road trip to Louisville for Ben and Lauren's Shower and Grandma's Birthday Party. Addison did much better in the car this time although anything would have been better than her screaming for 3 hours after the Hilton Head trip. The doctor recommended Gripe Water and it was a God send. We meet 2 new Great Grandparents!!! We got to spend some time with my dad's mother and my mom's father. They all enjoyed seeing the new addition.

Addison is becoming more and more interactive by the day. Her head control is vastly improving. She is looking around now when she is on your shoulder. She has finally gotten her hands to her mouth and she is now getting her fingers in her mouth. She seems to be quite proud of herself and it keeps her busy so mom can get things done.

Addison is really starting to interact with us. Yesterday, she and I went back and forth with different sounds for 45 minutes. It was like she was really talking to me and responding. Every time I made a noise, she made one right back at me. She has started reaching for objects. I can not imagine loving her any more or my life without her.

She's Talking!!!!

Ok, not really. But she is speaking in fluent baby. Her first "word" is "agoo" and she likes having conversations with Mom and Dad. Strings of "coos" and "ohhhs" and lots of bubble blowing makes having a conversation with her alot of fun. She responds back to what Mommy and Daddy say now. Her smile will already melt the toughest heart.

After hearing tons of horror stories, we can honestly say we are truly blessed as she is a true dream to be around.

7 Weeks

We are headed to Hilton Head for the 4th of July. It is our annual trip with grandma, grandad Craycraft and Matt. I have to say next year will be more fun since Addison can not be out in the sun yet. We did enjoy sitting out on the porch watching the kids play in the pool. There was actually a nice breeze on the porch that mom and Addy could sit and talk all day. We seem to be growing by the minute. We measured her last night and she is 25 inches long which was over 100% on the growth chart. We will be going to the doctor tomorrow for our 2 month check up and shots. She is starting to coo more even when she is lying by herself. She is so cute. She sit's in her boppy and talks to herself.
