Baby & Toddler

I am sure you are all getting sick of seeing pictures of Addison by now, but I don't care..she is just so damned photogenic. So there are more here, and here.

She has her own incredible personality, which is mostly good, although of course there are a few things that don't jive well, like throwing a fit when she doesn't get her way. The naughty spot is getting some usage at the moment. One of the things she has started to do, for the last couple of months, and I think she learned this one from me, is what she calls her "special kiss". She takes your face in her hands and plants one on you!

Baby CJ is progressing well, we have another scan next week, so I will post the pics of that. Addison seems to be OK with the idea so far. She knows his name and where he is. Lorraine has been talking about singing to him and so now Addison pulls up Lorraine's shirt to let him hear. After a few minutes she pulls it back down as he is "getting cold"

Lorraine is very excited, as despite the baby growing, she doesn't seem to be putting on any weight. I think she is hoping the baby is eating her arse (her words not mine).

Addison and Lorraine have been spending a lot of time at the local pool, right at the end of the road. It has slides for all ages, different pool areas for the age groups and activities, and also a sand play area and "water park" with fountains and the like. Last night was a special late night, $6 for two, until 8pm, so we all went along for some family time. There is a slide that is toddler size and AJ loves it, but hadn't been comfortable getting up there by herself, meaning that when it was just the two of them, she couldn't really use it. Last night we worked up to it and now she will climb the stairs and get on the slide herself..a giant leap for toddlerkind.
