Miss Addison Taylor

Addy had her 9 month check-up today. She weighed in at 17 lbs (50% for weight), 75% for height, and 40% for head. No shots today so that was good news in her book. She was still terrified of the paper on the table. She has been scared of that ever since we had her in the emergency room for her fever. Claire was a great big sister and held her hand the whole time (I wish I had my ca,era it was so cute). Overall she is a healthy and happy 9 month old. YEAH!

Matt and I cannot believe that she is 9 months old. She is getting so big so fast. She has started playing peek-a-boo with anything she can get her hands on. She also raises both hands when you say "Addy is sooo big". it is so darn cute. I love this age.



"Is there something on my face?"

Here is Addy raising her hands for "sooo big". While covered in carrots that she insisted on feeding herself.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Busy Busy Busy

Now that Addy has started to crawl she has gotten so busy. She loves to play with Claire. It is like she became a totally different baby since she started moving.

The other day we were stuck in the house waiting for our new refrigerator to be delivered. The girls were getting cabin fever and I was starting to go crazy. I then decided to make a train for the girls to drive. They LOVED it. It was so cute. They played for an hour.

Addy has also started to ride in the little car at the grocery store with Claire. It is so cute. And it keeps her busy while I shop. YEAH!

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

Guess What???

Sunday was a fun day. It all started when I left for the grocery store at 6:45am to get milk for my much needed coffee. When I got home Addy was crawling (go figure that she starts crawling when I am gone). She is now a crawling machine. I have been scared for this moment to come for along time now and now it is here. I just hope that the walking does not happen very soon. I cannot imagine them both running away from me.

Soon after I returned home we packed up the car and headed to Sea World. Claire and Addy both love Sea World. Ever since they have added the Bay of Play it provides hours of fun for our children. We had the best time. It was empty and the weather was cool. We did so much in one day. The best part was that since it was empty Claire and Addy got time with both Ernie and Elmo. WOW what a treat!

We then headed home to have dinner with Matt's parents to celebrate Miami's birthday. Claire loves to visit with Mimi and Papa so they day could not have gotten better in her eyes. As the evening came to an end Claire decided to show Mimi and Papa her new dance moves. She got a bit carried away began to do a spin and hit her head on the granite coffee table. She now has a beautiful black and blue bump on her head. After a little Tylenol she was back dancing. Thank goodness.

Over all it was a really fun and exciting day.

HAPPY MONDAY!!!

This is Claire climbing the ropes at Sea World. She is sooo good at it. It amazes us.

Yeah Ernie!

Elmo caught bothe of there attention. Addy LOVES Elmo!

Zoo Trip

Yesterday I decided to take the girls to the Santa Ana Zoo by myself. I felt like we needed a new activity for the day so off we went.

Claire loved seeing the monkeys and birds but was very disappointed when she found out that this zoo did not have any elephants. Ever since watching the movie Jungle Book she loves elephants. About an hour into the trip the girls began to melt down. We stuck it out for another two hours then headed home. Over all it was a fun trip. Next time we will have to go to the big zoo to see the elephants (but not without another adult).

Have a great weekend!

Halloween

Halloween this year was so much fun for all of us. Our new neighborhood was crazy. All of the houses were decorated and a ton of kids filled the streets.

Claire and Matt had been practicing trick-or-treating for a few days so that by the time Friday came Claire was a pro. Claire dressed up as Sleeping Beauty and Addy was a lady bug. They were so darn cute! Claire and her friend Peyton darted from house to house said, "Trick-or-treat" followed by, "thank you, happy Halloween". Claire only took one unless they turned away then she went in for another hand full.They had so much fun. They hit about 30 houses. Then Claire's shoe broke so they had to return home. By that time her bucket was fill to the top.

It was a really fun night and Claire is still talking about it.
