Addie Lou

I can't even describe how adorable Addie has been recently. She is almost 7 months old and I have to say, the 6 month mark has been my favorite age so far. She is loving life by smiling and giggling all the time! She brightens my days even when it is raining outside :)

I have been taking a fitness class at the Westerville Rec Center on Wednesdays. They have a little kids room called the Sprouts Room where I can take Addie while I workout. However, things have not been going so well when she is in there. The phase of separation anxiety is definitely setting in. They came and grabbed me out of class last week because she wouldn't stop crying. It's a total bummer but I am going to continue to take her and try to bust her out of this phase. I took her yesterday to just play for a little bit while I stayed with her. She just needs to get used to the other ladies in their. She bawls hysterically when other ladies even talk to her! It is so embarrassing because I feel so bad! I am going back today to try again :(

I have officially stopped pumping! I had been weaning myself down and Friday I pumped 1 ounce out of each breast and then did not take my pump with me this weekend when we went to Kelley's Island. It was amazing!!!! I have felt attached to that machine for the past 6 months! It felt so good to not have to worry about it! I am just using my reserves now and she is drinking about 20 ounces a day. (I emailed Milkin Mamas to see how many ounces I donated just because I was curious-the total count was 1777!)

Here are a couple pictures from this weekend!

We took one last visit up to KI before Edd's grandparents went to Florida for the winter. It was so great to see them and get to see their reactions to Addie.
