15 Months!

Wow I can't believe how fast time is going. Addison is such a little toddler now. She is so smart! There are so many things she knows but one big milestone is she can find her head, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, face, teeth, arms, hands, fingers, belly, belly button, legs, feet, and toes! Practically all of her body parts :)

- 16 teeth!

- Height 31.5 inches

-Weight 25lbs 9oz

-Head CC 18 inches

- Size 18m or 2T

- Shoes size 3 or 4

Addison loves playing at the park and going bye bye. She loves to dance and go to the splash park as well. Right now her favorite dinner seems to be baby back ribs! Just like mommy ;)

She still dislikes the vacuum and car wash.

Addison has some big changes coming up this month..

WE ARE MOVING TO DICKINSON!

I have been talking to her about it to try to ease the transition but she doesn't understand. Hopefully it doesn't upset her too much. I know she will love seeing her daddy every day!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Welcome Summer!

It's so nice to finally be enjoying some summer weather! Although it's been pretty chilly the last couple of days with the rain we've been getting. We kicked off summer with memorial day weekend. Evan got a long weekend at work so he was able to come home and spend some time with us. We decided to go to the splash park and have a picnic. Addison had a blast! 

We had so much fun that we had to go back for round 2 a few days later! We invited her cousin Gesielle with. They had so much fun and Addison was not as scared of the cold water this time. 

We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer brings us! Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day. 

11 Months Old!

Wow, I can't believe Addison is already 11 months old tomorrow! Time sure does fly. We are currently planning her birthday party. The theme is going to be Bubble Guppies. It was a close tie to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Here is a little update on Addi :)

- 23 lbs 8 oz

-Has 8 teeth

-Size 5 diapers

-Size 18 month clothes

She has taken two unassisted steps on quite a few occasions. She should be walking in no time.

She has started weaning herself off of bottles and wanting to eat more solid food. She still has liked every food that she has tried!

She is developing her own little language to speak to us in...If only we knew what she was saying!

Says Dada to get dad's attention, has said Mama a few times to get my attention.

She still does not sleep through the night, and has a bottle around Midnight. Her bedtime is around 730 and we usually wake up around 6.

Mommy and Me Workout

For the last few weeks I have been doing a Baby Boot camp workout class at our local gym. Basically you wear your little while working out. We LOVE it. Although with Addison being 21.5lbs it is a lot of work. We also do a few things without them on. I though I would share some of the things we do. So strap on your carrier! This is the one I use for the class.

-We start by taking a few laps around the track.

-Butt kicks and knee ups for warming up

-Jumping jacks

-Lunges

-Squats

-Pelvic Tilts

- Different dumbell lifts

- Wall Sits

- Push ups and rowing on TRX bands

(otherwise take baby off for pushups)

Those are just a few of the exercises we do. Most things can be done at home. We do more but I don't really know how to describe how to do them. Working out with your baby is a fun way to involve them and to fit in that workout when they only want to be held. Plus baby wearing has many benefits for both mom and baby. Also don't forget to stretch!

Warning: If you just recently had you baby, please remember that you still have high levels of the hormone relaxin in your system. This hormone relaxes your muscle and joints in the body and make them stretch more. If you are new to working out take it slow as not to pull a muscle.

Warning: If you are less than 6 weeks postpartum, please consult your doctor.

Month 7 Favorites

I still can't believe our daughter is 7 months old already! Wow does time fly! Here are some of our favorite products from last month.

1. Plum Organic Super Puffs

Addison LOVES these. I also love the mango sweet potato ones :) haha.

2. Coconut oil and Honest Healing Balm

Addison got her first diaper rash. I tried desitin and A&D and they did not work well. I started alternating these 2 products and it cleared right up!! I highly recommend these!

3. Strawberries

These are Addison's favorite food. 

4. NUK sippy cup

The is Addison's favorite sippy cup. I like that the spout is the same material as a bottle nipple and it is bigger so it was easier for her to get the idea to suck on it. I suggest this one. It is also leak proof and the handles are removable.

7 Month Update

Wow! I can't believe it has already been 7 months. Where does the time go? Addison is becoming so independent lately. I love watching her learn new things. And she has loved every food I have given her.

- 20 lbs, 27 inches

-Size 9m-12m clothes

- 6.5oz bottles

- Size 4 diapers

- Favorite Food: Strawberries and Raspberries

- Favorite Show: Bubble Guppies

- Loves Baths

Here she is getting excited for Halloween in her new skeleton jammies from Carter's. She still doesn't sleep through the night. She wakes up for 1 bottle and a few times just to play or for her pacifier. Her bedtime is between 8 and 9 but lately she's been going to bed at 730! She wakes up between 6 and 8. Usually around 6 or 7. If she sleeps til 8 that is considered sleeping in!

Halloween Vibes

Who else is ready for Halloween? The weather has cooled off to such a perfect fall temp and the mornings are a crisp 40-50 degrees here. Bring on the pumpkin spice lattes, or pumpkin everything for that matter! Here at the Puskar household we love pumpkin. We found this recipe on the side of our Leinenkugel's beer. We can't wait to try it out.

What is your favorite part of Halloween and the fall season? Evan and I are looking forward to taking Addison to the pumpkin patch and for our date night to the haunted house. We already have our Halloween decorations up as well. I put them up about a week ago. Here is the little center piece I put together for our table. All items are from Gordman's.

I was a pumpkin for my first Halloween so I decided it would be perfect for Addison to be one as well. I found this perfect pumpkin costume at Pottery Barn Kids. I ordered it yesterday, can't wait to get it.

Pumpkin Costume

What better than to post a few throwbacks of when I was a kid, and Addison's "first" Halloween picture I sent out to my family last year.

I was the witch in the last picture. Happy Halloween everyone!
