Catching U up

I guess we'll jump on the bandwagon and start blogging. Of course, this site will mostly be about Addison, our pride and joy. She is now 8 months old and becoming more and more of a handful each and every day. She has learned to pull herself up and stand long enough to pull items on to her head. I guess we still need to do better childproofing around the home. After visiting the Highland Smith's, she has also learned to shake her head no and it is so funny to watch. I'll ask her if the Yankees are cool and she'll shake no, if the Steelers are any good, she'll shake no. The only problem is she won't do it with the camera on, so we might have to pull the hidden camera trick.

One thing that needs to be fixed in the next 15 years, is teaching Addison to kiss without the tongue. She's an open mouth kisser, and often goes on the attack trying to do so. Even her duck beany baby from grammy gets its share of kisses.
As I said early, she is crawling around into everything now, which is a great break for the back of her head. It's amazing to see how baby's adapt in their own way. Forever she would bow up on her feet and head and scoot backwards across the floor. It was fun to watch, but she also was getting the bald patch.

As for Hill and I, we are both working alternating graveyard shifts so that we don't have to have a babysitter. It's actually worked out pretty well. Hillary likes the lighter workload the nightshift as a nurse gives her. She is only clinicals away from being an RN. They will still be a little into the future, but she is already stressing out. If I know my Hill, she'll be just fine. I am still at Heinz, although part-time and attending full-time at ISU. Go Bengals. Here is our blog.
