Who's my big girl?

Pre-Halloween festivities

This weekend we took Addison to Ryan and Heidi's Halloween party at Heidi's parents farm house. Addison wore her sweet pea costume and ended up falling sound asleep from being so toasty and warm in the little sack. We also went to Carly's 4th birthday party where Addison and Cassie had fun spending tummy time together. :)

The sweet pea!

Addison loved the wand!

Belly to back roll

We're not sure if she meant to, but Addison rolled onto her back from her tummy this weekend! She did it about 5 times in a row, so she probably knew she was on to something.

Minnetonka Apple Orchard

This weekend we took Addison to see the Minnetonka Apple Orchard. She seemed to enjoy all the people, the corn maze, pumpkins, hay ride....it was a picture perfect autumn afternoon. As usual, the camera battery died before we got all the pictures we wanted. Enjoy what we did capture!

Giggling thumb sucker

This was so cute - I was saying something like "Bobble-head bubs" and Addison was cracking up in her own little way. We caught it on film as her giggling was dying down, but notice the burp right at the end!

Addison found her thumb this weekend! We'd better start saving for braces now! Hmmm.....wonder who she inherited this habit from???? Now she needs a "ma-ting" and she'll be all set. No way I'm giving up mine! :)

Family photo

Our neighbor and photographer Erika McCauley took this shot of us in the front yard yesterday evening. She and her husband Eric came over for a glass of wine and ended up staying until 9pm! Nice couple and fun neighbors. The evening ended on a hilarious note when Callie decided she was in love with Eric and kept jumping up on his lap repeatedly and going bonkers over him. Wishe we got a picture of that!

Almost rolling over

Addison's head is strong enough now that we can place her face-forward in the Baby Bjorn. She LOVES it. She wears a huge grin while we walk around the neighborhood with Callie and admire all the changing trees. She's also almost rolling over onto her left side. She gets on her side and kicks her leg over, but doesn't get quite enough momentum to make it onto her stomach.

We got a docking station for the iPod and placed it in her room - I've been making "Addison" playlists all weekend for her - I think she likes it! She's constantly looking for where the music is coming from - especially while eating which isn't so fun. :) BUT, it's worth it.

It was so warm out this weekend
