Here we are, Addyson is 7 months old, Chris has graduated from BYU and been accepted to Dental School and no blog updates for 2 whole months!!! Well to make up for it, here is an update and LOTS of photos :)
Addyson is babbling like crazy now, we had a lot of fun when both sets of grandparents came to visit for Daddy's graduation; and Addy, no fear, told lots of stories to them. She continues to melt our hearts every day, giggling, babbling, smiling and all of these things overshadow her
tantrums. Yes, she is 7 months old and I believe already having "tantrums!" Haha- she knows how to get people to pay attention to her, and she's got her daddy wrapped around her little finger, caving in and giving her what she wants! Let's be honest - it's cute! Addy also went swimming for her first time with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa and Grandma Inman. She LOVED it!!! She was totally fine with being on her tummy as well as her back, she kicked like she knew exactly what to do and giggled and squealed like crazy! While Grandpa and Grandma Olsen as well as Uncle Brad and Aunt Amber were here for graduation, we got to meet Addy's cousin Marlee. The girls are exactly six months apart and here they are in matching dresses!Addyson is eating fruits and
veggies in addition to her cereal and sitting up now - she can sit unsupported but occasionally does a nose dive which she isn't so fond of! We tested out the grass the other day...she's been outdoors but up until just the other day, she's never really touched and experienced "grass". She wasn't sure what to think, when she was on her tummy she did what we like to call the "superman" trying to avoid contact with both her arms and her legs! That same day, Mommy and Daddy bought drivers, deciding we'd like to one day get into golf; we've been to the driving range once and let's just say we are definitely inexperienced!! (and now very sore!)
Let's see, I'm beginning to ramble......what else am I leaving out.... oh yes! Perhaps some of the best news yet....
Chris was accepted to The University of Iowa Dental School!!! That's right! We're going back to the Midwest :) Needless to say, we are ecstatic and so are our parents. It will be a bitter sweet time as we leave Provo and all of the memories and friends we've made here. I will have worked for Central Utah Clin
ic for nearly 1 and 1/2 years by then and made some awesome friendships with my co-workers and patients. We've got a lot of exciting things planned between now and the end of July (when we will be moving) and I hope to be able to also get in a lot of time with the family and friends we have here in Utah. The end of May we are headed to Iowa via Chicago - we had planned this trip before the acceptance to Iowa, we had decided that Chicago would be a good place to fly into in case we decided to check housing in Indiana, Chicago AND Iowa. Now that we've decided on Iowa , we will have some fun while in Chicago and then focus on finding housing in Iowa City, and then spend time with family and friends in Estherville of course! Well...that's a brief synopsis of the past 2 months, hope a few of you are still reading! :)
