6 Months

Yesterday, Addi turned 6 months old. We took the dreaded trip to the doctor and here are her stats:

Height: 29 inches (100%)

Weight: 17.6 pounds (83%)

Head: 16.5 inches (35%)

Needless to say she is a tall girl. We laughed because she has stayed consistent with her percentages everytime. We also gave the nurses a workout since Addi felt the need to do sit ups during her shots. We have one strong cookie.

In the last few months we have also reached some milestones. THey include sitting up alone, crawling, standing up and driving mom crazy. Since she continues to change daily and the time seems to go to fast I thought I would share some of my favorite photos from the last six months.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Well life has been a little hectic in our house for the last few months. I kept thinking I should post but with the craziness of the summer and many visitors, I never seemed to have the time to post. Our summer was great but looking back I wonder where in the world it went. It seems like yesterday I was wishing it would stop snowing and now it could start again. Here are some notes of what happened to catch you up.

1. Aunt Jenny came to visit. She mainly came to say goodbye to Kendall but also enjoyed every minute with Addi. We miss her lots and wish she could come back. Fortunately for Addi, packages come regularly with lots of cute clothes and fun.
2. Kendall left on his mission to Portugal. With his leaving the family has entered into a new phase. That is Devin rules the house. Whatever Dev says the rest follow.
3. Grandma and Grandpa Brusman came to visit. Luckily they got to come out a lot this summer. It gave us great time to play and enjoy their company
4. Eric turned 27. On his birthday he stated that he was nearing 30 and thought he was going to die. I tried to soothe his worries with the knowledge that he still had three years.
5. Aunt Christy and Uncle Ryan had their baby Makayla. We were very excited to add a new cousin to the growing family. Addi thinks she is a great toy and should be grabbed and pulled. I am really worried what she will think when the second kid comes along. Thankfully we have about ten years for that.
6. Many trips to the cabin. We always enjoy this
7. Finally I celebrated by 24 birthday by going to the diesel drags (diesel races). What I do for my husband. I can't completely complain because I did go shopping but seemed to be stuck buying clothes for Addi. It is a lot of fun to shop for other people I have decided.

Sorry there are no pictures. I seem to never bring my camera to take pictures of key events but someday I will be better.
