Well, I can't post any pictures right now because we had to ship the laptop off to get fixed. Something inside isn't working right and it's not charging.

I had to get up at 4:30 this morning to take Nathan to the airport. He called me from the Dillons parking lot after he had gotten gas and his truck wouldn't start. He's been having trouble with this for a while now but he's always gotten it to start after just a couple tries. We were just waiting for this to happen. He got it started after almost giving up and drove it home just after I got the kids in the car. We figured we wouldn't chance it breaking down on him so I drove him anyway. Well he drove there while I slept in the passenger seat and I drove home. LOL! That truck has given us way too many problems.

Anyway, Addison has been doing some new things. She's reaching and grabbing at things. She likes to lay on her play mat which has all kinds of toys dangling from the top. I put a teething toy on that and she likes to pull that into her mouth and suck on it. It's so cute to see her reach for things but not quite sure how to work her hands. I've also put her in the excersaucer already because she loves to stand just like Alex did. She does the same thing and reaches for things but can't quite figure out what to do with them. She can also roll on her side from laying on her back. I've been having her sleep on the guest bed but we really need to get the crib in the office because she's going to be rolling around soon. She had been sleeping through the night for about a week. Then, all of a sudden she was waking up twice a night. Now she's waking up once a night, which I can handle a lot better.

Alex has been doing really good with his potty training. He tells us now every time he needs to go pee pee. He can't seem to get number two down but I hear that takes a little more time. It just seemed to click for him one day and since then he's been doing awesome. It seemed to happen pretty soon after we had him going standing up like a big boy. We give him "dollars" whenever he goes. That's what he calls any kind of money. He usually asks specifically for pennys though which is fine with me. Then he runs and puts them in his "fast jet" piggy bank.

We've been going on walks a lot lately! Nathan all of a sudden got into all of this hiking, camping, survival stuff. I'm glad that it's something fun that I enjoy too and it's cheap since we have about everything you would need. I wish we had cool places to hike out here like Joanne and Jeremy do but we've been looking around at neat places to walk. We just discovered the Sedgewick county park which is huge and has lots of trails and play equipment. We were planning on camping out at my dad's farm for a trial run before we tried somewhere else but it was crazy windy the day we were going to go. We've been finding new routes around our neighborhood and walking farther to go get ice cream at different places. Wish we had a Bogeys! The kids really like it too! Addison seems to dig being outside just like Alex did! I've lost a couple more pounds too not even trying. LOL!

Nathan is going to be gone in Texas for today and tomorrow and then he's going to go out to St. Thomas over the weekend. He's not going to be out on the island for long enough to take good pictures though. :( I'm going to miss him but at least it's not for too long and I get to see him in between trips.

Here's a video of our little Addison talking! She's a babbler! She goes on and on!

Hopefully this works! I wanted to post a video of Addison rolling over. She had done it a few times by the time I took the video and was starting to get a little mad.
