As many of you know, we moved to Butte, MT on August 23, 2013. We moved into a lovely house right across the alley from the Mjelde family (Sam's sister and family). They have been nothing but wonderful.
Mostly due to the Mjelde's, it's funny how much I already feel at home even in this small town of Montana. I am surprised that this original California girl lives in Montana, but life changes and here is where I find myself. Happy in small town America, Montana. Other than the sunshine, I'm not sure I was ever meant for California. I'm feeling quite philosophical this morning and I could go on....
Addison is growing very fast. Even though she has up to this point fit into 6-9 month clothing (now she is 14 months), I'm starting to see her outgrow the length of these clothes and have to move into some longer items. Wish I could go to the Just Between Friends sale to buy her some warm clothes for the winter.
I came home from work yesterday at lunch time to find Sam and Addy jamming out to the Pandora station LMFAO - Addison standing with full on hip movement (maybe I'll get Sam to upload the video). Then, I encouraged her to walk toward me and she did!! We then encouraged her to walk toward Sam - a few steps away - again she did, smiling the whole time. And back and forth she went. So exciting! I know I'm in for it when she starts running across the room by herself, but I couldn't be more proud to see my little girl walk. She is also saying tons of things - this mornings addition was "nana" for banana. Yesterday I heard her clearly say "bear" for the first time and the day before it was "apple". She's even saying "up please" which sounds more like "up peas", but absolutely adorable none the less. She is learning to share with her cousin Sarah and last night they took a bath together. I'm not sure there is anything cuter than that.
I have so much more to say, but I ought to start working.... Hello to all and we miss everyone!
