Another great day

It was another great day here at our house! We had a great time playing with friends in the building who came to bring food and meet Addison. Alaina was excited to see her friend John that we have not seen since before Christmas. It was so cute to see her give him a hug goodbye and share her toys so well.

We had the appraisal on the condo today, so hopefully there are no surprises and we can close on March 10th as planned. We are going on Friday to look at more potential homes in the Lake Zurich and Arlington Heights. Fingers crossed.

Also, after much deliberation, Pete and I have decided that Addison's shortened name will be spelled Addie instead of Addy. That way Addy Cain and Addie Nadeau won't get their names mixed up when we're speaking of them :) We figured since she's only 3 weeks old, we could still make a change.

Alaina almost made me cry today. She was playing with a hat of hers, and all of a sudden picked it up with both hands and put it on. It doesn't sound like much, but she used both arms and I have never seen her raise or rotate her right arm that far before! I got teary eyed just thinking of the progress she has made. We start up therapy again tomorrow, and Pete and I are excited to see what the OT has to say about what the next steps are.

Love you all!
Emily Ann, Pete, Alaina, and Addison (Addie)
