If you know me at all you know that I am the queen of nicknames. My mom, dad, husband, and now Addison have a tremendous amount of names that they can be called at any given time. Because some of these names get phased out over time I decided that it is high time that I start documenting them so that we can look back when she's 20 and laugh at them. Some of them will probably still be in use!

update
It's been a while since I blogged so here is a list of updates on little nugget:
1. She has almost perfected shaking her head "no". I think I liked it better when she didn't know how to do this. But, it is nice to have some kind of active communication with her so at least we know when she doesn't want something now.
2. She has another tooth coming in! It hasn't quite poked through the skin yet but it is giving her a time and we're ready for it to come on out and start helping her chew up some food!
3. Speaking of food, she is moving more and more into solids and has gotten over (for the most part) her sensitive gag reflex. So far, the favorites are: Yogurt, grits, baked potato, cheese, eggs, and mommies left over soggy cereal. She is also a huge food begger! She will stare you down until you give her a bite of what you are eating and she will stand at your knees with her mouth wide open like a little bird waiting on a treat. Cute now...but I can see we might have to correct this soon:)
4. We are getting very close to walking!!! She is "furniture surfing" pretty well and is able to stand on her own for short periods of time, but she still prefers to crawl as a means of transportation.
5. She is a smart little whipper snapper! She has a book that shows animals and the sounds that they make. When we read that, she always tries to mimic the sounds that I am making. Another book she has is filled with different items that are common in everyday life, as I turn the pages she will point to each item and I will tell her what it is. She studies every item very hard and then looks at me ready for me to turn the page. We're just very happy that she is interested in books!
6. She is loaded with lots of hugs lately and enjoys handing them out. There is nothing like having your daughter rest her tired little head on your shoulder and squeeze her little arms tight around your neck.
7. She must be going through a growth spurt because she is sleeping really well. She takes about 2 hour naps and sleeps from about 8pm to 8am. Mommy and daddy are enjoying this!! Hoping that this phase isn't a phase:)
She is such a sweet angel and Adam and I have been enjoying every second of the last couple of months as she starts to hit more and more milestones and surprise us with how much she learns. We are headed to the beach again soon and we'll be sure to post pictures!

the sweetest thing
Little Pants has the most heart melting new nap time ritual. This is most definitely a perk of being a parent:)
When nap time rolls around Addison has gotten to the point where she tries everything in the book to keep me from turning her on her side and rocking her to sleep. "Fight it to the death" is her motto. As of late, when I have finished giving her her bottle I allow her to sit up for a minute to burp. She sees this as a victory. She has won, overcome the obstacle of mommy and is now free to play again!! In reality, she is only getting a moment of freedom before I start rocking her to sleep. She takes this time to try and delay the process as best she can. This is where the new ritual comes in...she starts to climb on me to get to the top of the chair where she can get a closer look of the book shelf behind us. She will begin to talk to me (I'm sure explaining her deep thoughts on the book selection) saying "blah, blah, blah, blah". It sounds much like if someone were telling you a story and instead of going into depth on a topic they end it with "blah, blah, blah." Mid sentence, or mid "blah," she stops abruptly, looks down at me, opens her mouth, and places it on my lips, sometimes leaving it there for almost a minute. This is her very sweet way of giving a kiss. I say mmmmmmmmwwwwhhhha and she goes back to staring at the bookshelf and "blah blah blahing." She repeats this over and over and over, as long as I would let her do it. I think this little cute girl thinks that if she keeps giving me kisses that I won't make her take a nap! That is pretty smart but that isn't going to happen...however, it does stall it for a little while:)
I will cherish those kisses forever. And I know when she learns how to really give a kiss I will miss those big gummy smackers that she gives so freely.

the beach!!
First beach trip!!!
Addison LOVED the beach. Her favorite part was most definitely the water and the waves. Adam took her out to about her chest and held her hands as they "jumped" the waves. She was "ooooo"ing and doing her new high pitched screech the whole time. When Adam would get tired from bending over he would bring her in and she would turn around and reach for the water as he brought her back. It was great, we were all very surprised that she wasn't afraid of the waves, or the water for that matter. She is going to be my little dare devil.
While we were there she got to spend some quality time with her (my) Aunt Judy and Aunt Susan. They loved on her the whole time and she ate it up. She really was great while we were there and never got cranky or whiny, and slept well for being in a different place and sleeping in the pack 'n play. She is starting to get to the age where she is sensitive to loud noises or things that startle her. My Aunt Susan was singing her a song one morning and hit a beautiful high note. Addison gave her a blank stare for a moment and then decided that that particular note scared her. She curled her bottom lip out as far as it would go and began to cry. We all laughed because it was just so cute, but she was consoled quickly and was happy and ready to go in no time.
This is technically the second time that she has been to Fripp but the first time she was only 2 months old and we didn't even go to the water because it was December. My Aunt Judy and Uncle Richard have a house on Fripp and we have been so blessed, and they have been so generous, to let us enjoy using it on occasion and spend great times with extended family down there. We have made so many memories and I know as Addison grows up, there will be many more memories to be made Fripp side. It will definitely be a place that comes up in many a family story in the future! Thank you Aunt Judy and Uncle Richard for allowing us to be a part of that.
A few other milestones for little pants:
Pulling up on absolutely EVERYTHING, crawling around like a maniac, stood by herself for about a half second on the beach, has started to babble combining different sounds instead of just the ol "oooo", will wave bye-bye when someone says bye-bye to her, has learned the talented act of throwing objects long distances just to see what they look like when they splat on the floor, and she is already wearing 12 month clothes and growing like a weed!
One milestone that she hasn't met is eating small pieces of solid food. We chuckle, although I'm sure she doesn't find it humorous, when we have tried to introduce her to small pieces of food. We have deduced that she must have a very sensitive gag reflex and though that isn't funny her reaction to the tiniest piece of food being on the very tip of her tongue/lip IS pretty funny. We started by giving her stage three baby food. The one that comes to mind is the chicken with vegetables. There were little pieces of carrots in the baby food and every time she would get a carrot she would gag and gag until she was able to get the carrot out, sometimes making herself throw up. A few days later I tried this little snack that they sell that taste like fake strawberry and it dissolves quickly on their tongue so that they can start to understand what it is like to have solid food in their mouth. This was a fail. I broke off the tiniest little piece of the fake strawberry, maybe the size of a grain of rice or smaller, and put it on the tip of her tongue...instant gag. We've tried a few other things since then but she just isn't ready, and that is okay, she will eat solids when she decides it just looks too good to pass up.
I can't believe my little angel is going to be 9 months old next week. I guess I better start thinking about a first birthday party!

the first, and hopefully the last
Yesterday was a day that Adam and I will not soon forget. It was the first traumatic or, I should say near traumatic experience that we had with Addison.
Addison woke up around 8:00am and per our usual routine Adam brought her in our room for a minute to wake up before we headed downstairs to get some breakfast. After playing for a while the three of us headed for the stairs. Mid descent I heard a loud crash behind me followed by what sounded like my biggest fear come to reality. It was just last week I was telling my mom that I was very worried about falling down the stairs with Addison. This is exactly what happened. Adam was walking down behind me with Addie in tow when his foot slipped off of the end of the step sending him falling backwards. When his back hit the stairs it sent Addison flying out of his arms and both of them proceeded to tumble down to the landing. Because I just had back surgery I wasn't able to whip around to see what was happening but I knew. I screamed at the top of my lungs with terror "Oh my God, Oh my God!!". Looking back I find it interesting that my brain would select that phrase as I never use it and actually find it annoying when others say it. Of course all of this happened in a split second but by the time I was able to turn around Adam had just ended his fall at the landing and I didn't see Addison. A quick look to the right found her propped up against the wall to my right screaming with fear. Adam snatched her up before I could even really process where she was. He later told me that when she flew out of his arms she went head over feet down the stairs before landing with a thud at the bottom. I was shaking uncontrollably and could not catch my breath. Adam kept saying, "she's okay, she's okay" and all I could think was "how do you know??" I need to KNOW that she is okay. I was able to compose myself enough to try to take her mind off of the incident with a silly song but I couldn't control my voice from shaking. We did a once over and saw no bumps or bruises, not even a red mark to remember the event by.
I called my pediatrician and they instructed me to watch her and make sure she was stirring in her sleep and wasn't vomiting. She actually took a three hour nap shortly after the event, I think just to make me worry a little more. Today she is back to her old self as if nothing happened. Thankful that children are so malleable at this age! It really is only by the grace of God that nothing serious really happened to anyone (although I think I might need to go get my heart checked out!). Throughout the day I kept replaying the event over and over in my head, thinking of all of the terrible things that COULD have happened. Of course the obvious, Adam or Addison or both could have been really hurt. Adam could have taken me out on his way down as well, opening my incision or worse, re-injuring my back. As I relived this event over and over I had to eventually make myself stop. I can't live my life like that. I would become one of those mothers that wouldn't allow my children to do anything because I would be so terrified that something would happen. That doesn't do me or Addison any good. So I had to let it go. And I have, but even putting this event down "on paper" has made my heart race.
I know that this probably wont be the last time that Addison has a close call but I hope that it is a long while before we face something like that again. Thank you Jesus for keeping my family safe.
I thought it fitting to now post some pictures of Addie happy and smiling:) These pictures are from a day of swimming at her Mimi's.

it's been way too long...
Wow, a ton of stuff has happened since the last time I blogged. We have literally been so busy that I haven't had the time to sit down and document all of the craziness. Where to start...
We are officially out of our house and living with my parents. We've been here for about two weeks and it's been pretty awesome. You can't complain about good food and plenty of space. Delilah has absolutely loved it. She has no fences to keep her in, plenty of deer and geese to chase, lots of woods to roam around in, and a pond to cool off in. We are still looking for a house but haven't found anything that we like so far. We're hoping that once school gets out more houses will be out there to look at.
Pants is growing up so fast. She already has two teeth!!! I can't believe it. We also took her swimming for the first time in my parents pond. At first, I'm not even sure that she realized she was in the water! She just sat there and stared at my like she was waiting for the fun stuff to start happening. Then the next time she got in the water she acted a little more excited and she learned how to twirl herself around in circles in her float. And my favorite: today she showed us her new milestone. Mom and dad waved bye bye to her and she waved back!!!!! She did it several times today and we all loved it so much. It made it even better because you could tell that she was so proud of herself. She has been scooty pootin; around but not crawling with her tummy off of the floor yet, but she's oh so close!
And last but not least, I'm having back surgery in 11 days. Thank you Jesus!! I can't wait to be out of pain. I honestly feel like I haven't even had a moment to stop and think about the fact that I'm having surgery. At least not the pain part of it. Thankfully, I've been told that they have this surgery down to a science (no pun intended) and I will be up and walking the night of the surgery and I only have to stay one night in the hospital. I will keep you updated on how that goes, but until then here are few recent pics of my little nugget...

the funk
Okey doke. It's been a while so I'm going to take a moment to make myself chronicle what is going on in our lives or I wont remember it one minute from now. I would like to add that I have the funk (I am writing this while I am sick) so I am not going to "exclimate" anything or sound super chipper.
The house: Weeeelllll, we have to be out of our house in about 21 days and we have yet to find one that we want to purchase. So, the hunt continues. If you live in North Augusta and have a super awesome house and want to sell it for way less than it's worth (because I have to feel like I got a deal) please feel free to put it on the market. No need to let me know, I will find it since I blindingly search through all of the realtors websites EVERY day. I think buying your second house is much harder than buying your first. This house we planned on only being here for 5 years tops, the next house will be at least 10 to 15 years or longer and you want to make sure you can live with it for that long...better yet, love it. The plan for now is to move in with the rents. Yep, I said it. We're moving in with my parents for now (which by the way, is not a terrible thing at all. Especially if you have ever eaten my mom's cooking) and then possibly living in Adam's mom's house for a while when she goes to visit Tommy in Florida. Hopefully by then we have found THE ONE. I'll keep you posted.
Pants: off the chain. She is straight up the cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on and she only gets cuter every day. I was finally able to catch her on video making her "ooooo" sound and I will post it on here sometime when I don't feel like death. But I'm telling you, when you see it you will melt. She amazes me all of the time with how much she picks up on and how quickly she learns. She is already starting to pull up on things. Yikes. And she is starting to get those legs crankin' for some crawlin'.
Cute little mommy story that I have to share. We were in the grocery store the other day and pants actually got to ride in the buggy instead of her infant carrier because she can sit up on her own now. She was so amazed the whole time looking at all of the things on the shelves and all of the people. As we walked down the isles she looked left and right the whole time saying "ooooo". As I was putting some 2 liter sodas into the buggy she got especially excited and kept reaching out trying to grab them. I put one in the buggy beside her and she sat there with her arm around it like it was her little buddy the rest of the trip. It was adorable. I know she really wanted to put the bottle in her mouth and slobber all over it but thankfully she was immediately sidetracked by the items on the shelf again. She can't fool me, I know her games.
Here are a couple of pics of the little angel:

She amazes me all of the time with how much she picks up on and how quickly she learns. She is already starting to pull up on things. Yikes. And she is starting to get those legs crankin' for some crawlin'.
Cute little mommy story that I have to share. We were in the grocery store the other day and pants actually got to ride in the buggy instead of her infant carrier because she can sit up on her own now. She was so amazed the whole time looking at all of the things on the shelves and all of the people. As we walked down the isles she looked left and right the whole time saying "ooooo". As I was putting some 2 liter sodas into the buggy she got especially excited and kept reaching out trying to grab them. I put one in the buggy beside her and she sat there with her arm around it like it was her little buddy the rest of the trip. It was adorable. I know she really wanted to put the bottle in her mouth and slobber all over it but thankfully she was immediately sidetracked by the items on the shelf again. She can't fool me, I know her games.
Here are a couple of pics of the little angel:
