Well the year has started off well, we have all settled back into our regular routine, involving work and daycare. Greg is back policing the roads and loving it, it really is where he is most comfortable and enjoys himself the most. Addy is back in the swing of things at daycare and loving all of her time with the other kids there. She is so comfortable there and really is thriving, she picks up so much from the other kids and is learning everyday. She is eating like a champion these days and seems to have taken a liking to the italian dishes in life. Her favourite of course is Mim's signature lasagna and she enjoys what she can do with the funny spaghetti noodles, even though mom and dad have to help her eat this one a bit. 
Her new passion is buttons and everything electronic. Greg and I spoiled each other with IPOD touches this year for Christmas and Addision thinks that these things are the best things since sliced bread. Her new past time is hanging out with daddy on the couch using mommy's IPOD and playing music. I couldn't resist snapping this pic, "like father, like daughter". They are two peas in the 'POD' in this one.
Addison continues to amaze us and her therapists with each passing appointment and visit. She still manages to pull herself around the house military crawl style, she still is not quite sure about crawling on all fours. She really is getting strong though and is almost pulling herself up fully to a standing position. She still is quite wobbly and does the splits more often than not, but everyone once in a while she gets herself up and standing at her exersaucer. Gone are the days I think that she would sit inside the exersaucer and play for hours. Reality is that is wonderful news for us to hear, we are so happy that she is progressing in the right direction at her own speed. At her year followup appointment with the Development Clinic at St. Joe's hospital we were told that she was doing well and did not need to be seen for a whole year!!!! Her sounds and talking are coming along stronger everyday as she learns new sounds and how to put them together. It will be a while before we hear words so we try to communicate with her in every way that we can, so she still has a means to tell us what she wants. Her new most adorable thing that I love and cannot get enough of is her new face and laugh she does just for me. She will look at me and scrunch up her nose, purse her lips and blow out her nose. It is the silliest thing ever and not sure where she picked it up, but it is the cutest thing ever. I love it.
