I have to say I am glad that you are all suffering Addison-withdraws… hehehe 
It really wasn’t my plan to go this long without posting, We’ve just had a lot of family stress and sickness and with me being pregnant aka brainless- well, my apologies.
Addison will be ONE YEAR OLD in a couple weeks! I can’t believe it! This year has flown by so fast. She is really close to walking- it’s just down to a confidence thing now. She’ll take one to two steps by herself when she’s walking between her mom and dad, and she’ll stand on her own – at least until she realizes she is and then she’ll grab onto something. She’s speaking her own gibber gabber and understanding everything we say. She can do the sign for “daddy” and “more”, but she knows many more when we show them to her. She loves to stick out her tongue, point to things, point to the ceiling, help with the dishes and laundry, read books (Brown Bear and Five Little Monkeys are still her favorite). She absolutely loves the outdoors and I don’t think I’ll be able to keep her out of the pool this summer! She is really into music- loves to create it and dance to it. Addison loves pickles. I’ll give her a spear and she’ll eat out the entire flesh part of it- takes after her mama She’s also into Tinkerbell and Curious George. Addison will do this thing where she’ll smile her “intense” smile. The means she’ll smile showing all her teeth (which is going on 5 now), raise her eyebrows, clinch her fists and shake until you notice her and do something back. It cracks me up every time and now she seems to do it trying to make you laugh. She is the light of my life and I love her so much!
Baby number two is doing well. I can feel it kicking me at night which is fun. I’m also getting into the uncomfortable stage- nothing like the third trimester, just can’t find a comfy way to sleep since I’m a belly sleeper and that is starting to get in the way. The doctor wants to wait until March 2nd to find out the sex. I’ve made a deal with Christer (actually more of a threat haha!) that he has to go to at least one regular dr check up if he wants to go to the one that we find out the sex. otherwise- he’s not finding out. He doesn’t think I can hold out until the baby is born or that he’ll figure it before then anyway. So… We’ll have to see who wins this one
We’ve had some interesting visitors in our backyard. Here is a picture of a fox we had in January. It actually came within feet of our back door. We’ve also had a mink, geese and ducks (possibly eagles) fly by too.
I promise to keep this up to date for you guys- I’ll be taking more pictures/videos soon too
