Update

Addison had her "6 month" check up today. I know she's 7 months old, but when we moved back the Dr. didn't have an opening so she got her check up today. She weighed 17 lbs 15 ounces and was 29.5 inches long. In the past 3 months since her last check up, she has only gained a little over a pound but has grown 3 inches. She's a very tall girl.

She has also started pulling herself up on everything. It's only a matter of time until she is walking everywhere.

Enjoying Fall

Yesterday, we went to the last Air Force football game of the home season. It was a great game, and we got to see our friend Blake Morgan play. Air Force played BYU, and we were a little torn about who to cheer for. We've been cheering for AF the entire season, but Blake plays for BYU. I decided that I wanted AF to win, but I also wanted Blake to do well. After a few religious comments from a few stupid fans, I began cheering full on for BYU. In general the fans were pretty good, but there were a few people who had to bring religion in to it. I don't see what being LDS had anything to with the football game, but apparently it did. BYU won the game, and Blake had a few good plays. Michael came to the game with us, which was fun, but we wish that Kristi and Will could have come too.

Today after church, we decided to head up to the park and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. We love being back in Rye, and the park is a great place to enjoy the beauty of the mountains. We took a few pictures also. I'm trying to decide which one, if any, to use for our Christmas card.

We brought extra clothes because we didn't know how snowy it would be.

Addison loved to feel the trees, and she even tried to play in the water. I wasn't very enthusiastic about that idea.

Since he's been working outside, Jamey usually only shaves on Sunday mornings. This morning he decided not to shave his entire face. I wasn't very happy, but after more consideration I decided I think it's a good look for him.

Of course, in the minute that it took us to get from the church building to the park, Addy fell asleep. It took me quite a while to wake her up. She was out cold. Thankfully, when she did wake up, she was in a good mood!

Air Force

Yesterday, we went to the Air Force vs. CSU game. My parents have season tickets and a tail gating spot, so Air Force games are an all-around good time for us. The Falcons, of course, beat the Rams. It was the Veteran's Day game so they had a special flyover. They always have a flyover before every game, but yesterday they had 3 jets fly over and it was amazing. Going to the games always makes me feel so proud to be an American. It was just the uplift I needed after Tuesday's unfortunate election results. It's amazing to see all of the dedicated service people.

It was a little chilly, but Addison was bundled up and slept through most of the game. She had fun hanging out with Dad and Aunt Nicole during the tail gate party.

Addison was asleep (and being held by Aunt Nicole) so Jamey and I decided to take a quick snapshot of ourselves.
A quick family shot before heading in to the game. I think she was a little tired of pictures by this point.

On Friday, I had just finished cleaning the house and came back in to the family room to find Addy's path of destruction. We like to call her Hurricane Addy because she loves to get into everything and wreak havoc. Things have only intensified since she began crawling. She took a break from throwing things off the bookshelf to pose for a picture.

Addison has also gotten a lot more coordinated as of late and can hold herself up. She started pulling herself up on her toy basket. It shouldn't be too long until she can pull herself up on taller furniture.

We are having so much fun with Addison and can't believe that she's almost 7 months old. It's an amazing experience to watch how much she learns, grows, and changes in a matter of days!
