7 Months is a FUN age! :)

Addisyn is growing so quickly- it is hard to believe our 16 pounder was only 6 pounds 1 ounce when we left the hospital! She is very active- she crawls at super fast speeds, she stands up whenever she can, and she has begun to stand up without holding onto other things. She has learned how to get back down to the floor from the standing position (instead of just falling over)- this was a huge accomplishment for little Addisyn :) Addisyn is also eating real solid foods (not just the baby food and baby cereal)- she loves the Gerber Yogurt drops and the Gerber Puffs. She is also a big fan of the Biter Biscuits. We are still working on the sippy cup- the Dr. suggested we put water in it but she is not a big fan of that at this moment.

Brian started his new job this week (he is also working the evening shift at FedEx through the end of the month) so he has been quite exhausted these past few days. He is working for the City of Charlotte as an Environmental Program Inspector- this job is required by the EPA. His shift is Monday- Thursday (4 10 hour days). Kari is our Nanny and when she has class Grandpa (Dave) watches the baby. I really miss Addisyn during the day, so I drove home at lunch today (but by the time I got home I only had about 15 minutes before I had to go back). I left a freshly pumped bottle for her and was able to breastfeed quickly. Addisyn was really happy to see me and it was sad having to leave her :( At least on Friday Brian and Addisyn can come eat lunch with me :)

The person buying our house had it inspected last week. We got the report back- there are a few things we need to do (caulking on the outside of some windows and cleaning out the basement etc.) We hope to get a closing date soon :) We are still looking for a new home for us- just haven't found one yet.


We will post again soon.

Love,
Lindy, Brian, Addisyn, and Bear
