July Adventures

This month has definitely been a lot of fun with the little peanut. She is starting to become more interactive and responsive to us with her smiles, laughter and of course crying. We're starting to be able to discern more and more what she wants with her communication, which is making everyone a lot happier and relaxed.

Our adventures last week included going to Marianjoy (our work), the grocery store and Target, a friends house and the Kane County Fair.

Our trip to Marianjoy was a lot of fun, although she was in day 2 of 3 of another growth spurt...therefore she was eating every 2hrs and not wanting to sleep much. But, nevertheless we made it out of the house on time. Since Adam and I are both working at Marianjoy now, Addison has become a well known celebrity there. Haha. We were there for about 2.5 hrs visiting both departments, getting oooed and ahhed over, and then eating again before heading home.

We went to my boss and friend Cindy's house on Thursday to say good bye to a friend moving to Pennsylvania and it was nice to spend time with all the ladies there catching up.

Addison slept like a champ that night...6hrs...I think she was worn out from the party. :) It felt great to get some more rest!

Friday night was our first date night away from Miss Addison since she was born. I figured it was time to get out and let the grandparents watch her for the night. Adam and I went to the Turf Room in North Aurora and sat outside next to the fire pit and enjoyed a nice meal and glass of wine. Yes, I'm allowed to have a drink every so often while breast-feeding, and one is definitely enough! :) Addison "was an angel" according the Grandma and Grandpa Seghi as she slept pretty much the whole time we were gone.

Saturday my girlfriends/sorority sisters from college came to visit us, Eli making her way home from a year in Costa Rica. They bought her some cute outfits, including her first little tutu skirt, that I can't wait to put her in...I will for sure post the pics when she wears it in a few months!

Then saturday night we headed out to the Kane County Fair for her first concert...American English the Beatles cover band. She was wide awake and enjoyed dancing with mommy and daddy!
