Dave has been swamped with school and it seems like we barley see him. He sent us down to Cincinnati to have some fun with my parents for a little bit. We got to stay for 10 whole days. It was just what we both needed. We got homemade breakfasts per requests almost every morning. Addi got her first aebleskivers and of course loved them. I got some much needed sleeping in and even sneaked in a few naps (ok a lot of naps!). Addison got to taste her first Skyline Chili and she loved it! She would shove fistfuls of noodles and then slurp it down. Grammie and Papa somehow talked me into letting her have her first ice cream cone as well. Of course she was thrilled with this little treat. Her cheeks were beet red after from being so cold, but she didn't seem to mind. She ended up throwing up that night due to the over indulgence of Papa sneaking her frozen yogurt later! I have a feeling that her father's love for ice cream has been passed down to her. Papa had some quality bonding time with little Addi. By the end of the trip she was quietly muttering, "Papa". He would take her for a wagon ride in the afternoon and then cuddle her for a nap. She was on cloud nine. Grammie let her take over the kitchen. She got to pull bowls and spoons out and cook away on the floor. Grammie had a little baby doll for her to play with. When you would say,"Where is your baby?" she would go hurry and find it and give it a hug. Grammie's doll house is also a favorite of hers. She would sit and play with all the little people and push the buttons and get really excited. A lot of stories were read and she even got some new Baby Einstein movies to watch and dance to. I am realizing how happy of a child Addison really is. She has really started to laugh out loud now at just about anything. We were able to go to the Art Museum one day. Addison quickly found out that her voice would echo and we had to keep shoving her binky in her mouth. We went to the zoo and Addison waved to all the animals and started to shout WOW at the bears. She hated her sun hat which was a little bit of a struggle, but overall enjoyed being out in the nice weather. We managed to go the park one evening and got to show Grammie and Papa how much Addison loves swinging. She would hold on tight and open her mouth and smile big. We enjoyed going out to eat and letting Addison make a huge mess with her beans! Addison is pretty much eating all table food. She has baby food only a few times a week. She is a very independent eater. She has to be able to feed herself or it gets thrown on the floor. This is something we are all trying to be patient with:) We survived the 7-8 hour drive there and back and can't wait to do it again!! Thanks for all the memories Grammie and Papa.
On a side note Dave passed his comprehensive exam with flying colors and will start clinicals in about a month! We are really proud of him and all his hard work studying.
