Busy, Busy, Busy

As usual life in the Brusman house has been going 90 mph. It seems that the minute we accomplish one thing we are off to the next. Eric and I have been completely busy with work. I always thought that I would have a baby and my clientele was big enough I could work two half days (I know it isn't that much). Boy was I wrong. Right now I have been working 2 to 4 days a week. And I am booked almost to Thanksgiving! It has been completely crazy and it looks like it isn't going to slow down anytime soon. Since I have been working so much, I decided I deserved a vacation, so this week I booked tickets for my mom and I to go to Chicago and see Jenny. We leave next Friday and I am so excited! I am only nervous about the flying with Addi.

Eric has been busy man. He has been working a lot lately. According to his pay stub he has put in 90 hours. They are finishing the SEMA truck so most days he is in IF doing the work. He still loves his calling as 11 year old scout advisor and had a lot of fun pointing out all the boys to me on Sunday during the primary program. On a happy note for me, the BRONCO is sold. We have been trying to sell it for a few months and finally it will be out of my garage. I still cannot believe someone wants to buy it. Here is a picture to see how great and wonderful it is.

There are some changes since this picture. The door are off of it, the back fender is cut off and there are new wheels and tires. So maybe the guy just wanted the wheels and tires cause lets face it there isn't much there.

As for Addi, she is always changing and growing. The other night Eric and I were watching TV while Addi played on the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement and looked up. Addi was standing up in her rocking chair laughing. She thought it was great. I don't know how my 7 month old thinks this is okay.

But who could tell this face no?

Later that night she was being really ornery. We think she is getting her teeth so she is moody woman. Eric gave her a bink and we began eating. This is what we found. I was completely shocked because this never happens. Very rarely do we get her to fall asleep on her own. So I was jumping for joy.

Finally, I just had to post a pic of Addi eating. She is the messiest eater alive. Especially when dad is feeding her. All I have to say is thank heavens for bathtubs.

Stocking Hats

I just had to post this picture because it reminded me of my brother Kendall. The other day it was about 80 degrees and Addi was playing with one of her stocking hats. In the process Eric put it on her and she loved it. She didn't pull it off at all. This was surprising because lately bows and headbands are gone in 2 seconds. Anyways this is for Kendall and the many years he spent wearing a stocking hat in the middle of the summer.

Walkers are for babies

My mom and dad had a walker from when Kendall and Devin were little. Most of the summer Addi would run around it. I thought it was heaven because she was mobile and couldn't break anything. Well lately that has all come to a head. She now thinks she is a big girl and can walk without the walker. Granted her walking is while she holds onto everything in sight. She can do pretty good until she realizes what she is doing. Here is a pic of what she thinks about the walker. ( to her it is a jungle gym.)

Crawling

Addi has been accomplishing a lot of milestones lately. Over labor day weekend she learned to crawl up stairs and ever since i have been pulling my hair out. Every time I turn around she is racing up the stairs. She has already fallen down once and had carpet burn on her nose. It was really sad. Our friends little girl asked what happened to baby Addi's nose. She was really worried. This video is at my grandma and grandpas just after labor day.

The following pics are just the other day. I was in the kitchen cleaning it and I couldn't see Addi. This is what I found.
