Beating the heat

We're having record temperatures (for those of you from outside of Seattle!) and it's not easy with a newborn who wants to nurse, which creates body heat! We're surviving though, thanks to our new portable air conditioner (see picture) that we have stationed in Addison's room. We were pretty comfortable without it during the day, but once the late afternoon, evening hit, it was pretty miserable in our house, so we took many trips to her room to hang out! It's going to be in the high 90's today, hotter than yesterday, not sure how she's going to handle it! I think we might take a trip to the mall to cool down!

Addison is in love with her "Ocean Bouncy Seat!" It vibrates and makes lots of fun bubble and ocean noises, she's enamored with it. We normally have it upstairs so I can plop her in it when I take a shower, but we've dragged it downstairs so both mom and dad can have 2 hands available, to cook or just relax. Maybe we need another one for downstairs? :) As Addison's weight increases, our muscles need to catch up! Both Chris and I have commented that we are getting some pretty defined calf muscles from all of the bouncing we're doing! And that under arm flab? Gone! Now if only I could get rid of flab from other areas.... :)
