Blog Blah and Upcoming

This past week or so has been very BLAH. I'm almost positive Addie is teething, although no proof yet, love her heart. She has been ill for about 2 wks,so this past week I took a break from the computer, and spent that time cuddling with Addie. We took 3mi walks in the morning, ate breakfast, then just played, strolled or whatever Addie wanted to do for most of the day. We visited family and also ran a few errands. Come to think of it, I didn't even do a photo shoot with her this week. My mom told me today that she hadn't received any pics in a while, so don't worry Granna I promise to get on it this week. We will start keeping Elly a few days this week, so her and Addie will defiantly have a photo session together.

We have several busy weeks ahead of us. Addie will be 9 months on Fri., so she has a 9 month check-up. Mark is going to have his tonsils taking out sometime in the near future. And the girls (me, mom, Addie, future Aunt Jennifer, and Aunt Amanda) are planning a much needed trip to the beach!!!!! Can't wait!!!!

Hope you all have a great weekend. Promise to post new pics soon, Addie has a new face, and it is precious.

She get it from her Momma

I know have been told that I can give a good dirty look. Ha! Addie obviously has picked up on it. Yesterday I was trying to take a few pictures, because I'm addicted she is irresistible, and I believe if she could talk this is what she would have told me.

Don't even think that I'm going to smile for that camera today.

I mean it, looking at that camera just makes me sick. Ha!!!

Really mmmmmomma, STOP!!!!!

I hate to say, but O Granna I'm sooo going to pay for all those years of dirty looks.

Announcement

Addie is saying MMMMomma!!! I think she has been saying this off and on for a while, but her dad confirmed it last night. Of course, she only says it when she wants to, not when I want her to. HA!! It is too cute!

Play Date + Now and Then

Rikki and Luke came over today for lunch and a play date. Wow have things changed.

Then 4-12-09

Now! Luke is almost the same height as Addie.
I know these 2 will be best buddies in the years to come.

And Luke will be her bodyguard during the boyfriend years. HA!!!

Hair Bows and Toe Jam

Before Addie, when I was just a wife, I would obsess over keeping my house clean and clothes washed. However, now with Addie I have new obsessions. I still try to keep the other stuff done, but they do not top my list. I have really become OCD about Addie having a hair bow in her hair and keeping the toe jam out between her toes and fingers. HA!!

Addie has an abundant supply of hair bows, most of them have been given to her. She doesn't leave the house without one in her hair (unless her daddy gets her ready and is taking her somewhere without me). And if it happens to disappear while we're out, I will come close to loosing it before I find it. I just can't help it, they are so darn cute. I have heard many people say, "She just wouldn't be Addie if she didn't have a hair bow in her hair." I completely agree!!!

(extra dirty b/c she had been outside in her walker)

And this is my newest obsession. So GROSS!!! I clean her toes and fingers out multiple times a day. Bless her heart they are just so chunky that dirt gets trapped.

8 Months and SOOO Much Fun

Wow what a wonderful 8 months is has been.

I love these lips!!!

I love these chunky arms!!!

I love these sweet cheeks!!!

I love these big eyes!!!

And I really love this sweet, sweet girl!!!!!


Addie, you are so much fun these days. We all love watching you learn new things weekly. Your personality is really starting to show, and your dad says you have my ATTITUDE. HA!! I enjoy every minute with you.

At 8 months you

1. Are becoming independent. You think you are so big and that you should just be able to go on your on.
2. Wear size 2 or 3 diapers depending on the brand.
3. Can still wear some of your 3-6 months clothes, but slowly fitting into your 6-9 months.
4. You love carrots , yo baby yogurt, your paci, your silky, riding the 4 wheeler with P-Paw, riding in your stroller, being in your walker, sleeping in mommy and daddy's bed.
5. You hate going to sleep, loud noises, being put in your car seat, being left alone, not being able to go wherever you want.

On the Move

Addie is crawling army crawling/scooting. She made her first scoot last Thurs. and has continued to do more and more everyday. She thinks she is big and should be able to go anywhere, especially when she is standing holding on to stuff. She is also starting to want to be held less and less.
