Addison has been rolling and scooting and can basically go every direction but forward, which frustrates her. She is starting to connect the dots on crawling and is bringing her knees up to try to get on all fours but I think we still have a bit until she is all over the house like Aden (my nephew). She has begun self soothing herself in a different way now. She rubs her head, sometimes with both hands, to the point where now she has two little tracks in her hair. We took her swimming the other day for the first time. At first she seemed a little uneasy but then by the end she was splashing around and having fun. I look forward to taking her to the pool a few more times this summer.
As for us parents. Danica had two wisdom teeth pulled on Friday and is now recovering from that. She has to call the dentist because we are pretty sure he sewed her cheek in with the stitches (which shouldn't be done) and so now we need them to possibly fix that.
I ran in my first 5K on Sunday in Gardner. I finished in 35:45 which is well under my 40 minute goal so I was pretty happy. I really enjoyed doing it and I plan on trying to run one a month to help me on my toes.
Now for some pictures.
