Settling In

It has been almost 3 full months we have lived in Tampa. It certainly does not feel like it has been that long...probably because we have actually only been in Tampa for about a month of that time! Addison and I joined a workout group called Stroller Strides. It is WONDERFUL! It is an intense workout for moms with children in strollers. It is an hour Mon-Sat. We try to go at least 4 or 5 times a week. As part of the stroller strides program we also do a weekly playdate and monthly mother's night out. It has been a great way for us to meet some great friends. Since the class falls during Addison's typical morning nap time we have had to tweak her schedule. I know! I know! I am so selfish to not plan my life around my daughter's sleep schedule....honestly....I did it for 13 months! I am OVER it!!! :) We need a life too and since her naps are usually 30 minutes...we quit! So now when we get home she is taking one nap that lasts between 1 and 2 hours!!! How fantastic is that? I now have to time to actually do stuff and Addison wakes up so happy!

We were home alone this past weekend because daddy had school in Gville. We went to Stroller strides and then to our friends house to swim in their pool. Yesterday Addison and I went to the zoo! It was so much fun but ended on a bad note when Addison decided to throw the biggest hissy fit I have ever seen for making her leave. I thought I had another year before this started?

Addison took home a souvenier from our Jacksonville trip...hand foot and mouth...a yucky virus. I guess I can't complain too much since that was her first REAL sickness EVER but it still broke my heart to see my little doll-baby miserable. The rash is pretty much gone and back to normal but of course something else had to happen! Last night we were playing peek a boo with her blanket and she pulled the blanket off and it made her fall forward into her basket of books. She now has a huge shiner on her left eye. Poor baby. We are going to visit Addison's great grandparents this weekend in TN. Besides them thinking we beat our child and the eleven hour drive we are very excited! Keep you posted on how that goes!

Finally a New Update!

Hello everyone! I am so sorry I have not updated the blog in weeks. We have been traveling like crazy to friend's weddings and then to Jax for some quality family time. Above are some pictures from our family weekend in Pensacola and then from Addison's big first birthday party! Enjoy.
