Busy Weekend

This weekend we were very busy and Addy did great. She hung out with us as we hit Babies "r" us, stopped at the mall, visited with friends, got groceries, visited with Grandma and Grandpa T, and tried out our new (and VERY loud) blender.

We got Little some new toys, you know the kind . . . for 6+ months. We got a lot of fancy toys but one of her favorites seems to be the 5.99 rock and stack. I think we all had one of these at some point right?




We visited the local farmer's market and visited with some friends. Little was all ready to go!



Here we are with our great friends Collin, Jody and Wyatt.



We also ran into our wonderful friends Trisha and Aaron. They are expecting their first baby in July. We can't wait to welcome Addison's new friend. Addy has already picked out a special gift for baby Rhema.



All weekend Addy has been making this funny face and playing with her tongue.

Papa D. and B-Day Bash

Last weekend Addy got a big surprise - Papa D came for a visit. She got to spend the whole weekend hanging out with him. We all had a great time together!


Addy also went to her first birthday party for her Friend Wyatt. She was all dressed up with her hat. (It didn't stay on long, she's learned how to pull hats off.) Addy was just starting in on her top two teeth and wasn't feeling all that great, she was fussy at the party and spit up all over our host's couch. Addy didn't seem to care, she feel asleep as soon as we left. I was left to drive home wondering how things could go so wrong in just one hour. :)

Catch-up Time

It has been a hectic couple of weeks for us - fun, but busy! Here are a few shots until I can sit down and make a real post . . .

Here is Little's 6 month photos with the bear (and without):



We ran out of bibs over the weekend and resorted to a bib I'd been saving for a little later, it provided full coverage! Little kept looking down at it and scaring herself with the big red head on it.

Cute Shots!

On Friday I ended up staying home most of the day with Addison. She came to work with me for a couple of hours and did really well visiting with everyone. In the afternoon we hung out at home together, just the girls.



Today we headed out to buy some flowers for the pots out front and Addy was looking pretty spiffy in her overall shorts Grandma and Grandpa T. got for her.

Easter!

We had a great Easter holiday. Grandma and Grandpa T. came over and fixed an AMAZING dinner for us! Addy got a special Easter basket. Here are some pics from the day:

We started the morning with an outing and Addy wore a pretty blue outfit with matching hat.



Addy has been playing non-stop with her new toys, but when she first got the basket she was mesmerized with the fluffy pink tissue paper. (Look, she's sitting up.)



Grandma T bought her a pretty pink Easter dress with the cutest french school girl cap! Little looked so sweet in it!

Six Months!

Addy turned six months old yesterday. This probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but let me assure you that for Scott and I it was a huge milestone. Even being sick with the flu (Jessica), a cold (Scott), a stomach virus (Addison) - we still had to pause for a moment at how amazing the last six months have been and be thankful for the amazing time we have had together as a family.

Then we moved on to complaining and fussing about not feeling so well. :)

Instead of the normal monthly photo with the bear, this month Little went and got professional portraits done. I am proud to say that she made it through like a true diva and got some great shots. Here are just a couple:




Happy Easter to everyone!

Grandpa T's Birthday and Easter Week

Sunday was time for celebration - Grandpa T's birthday bash. We had homemade pizza and cake. Addy got to wear her special tinkerbell dress that Scott got her from Disneyland.

Here is Addy looking pretty in her special tinkerbell dress:


And here is Addy deciding she wants to eat her special tinkerbell dress:


Here is Addy with Grandpa T. They are checking out the book Addy got Grandpa for his birthday called "Grandpa and me".


We are getting ready for Easter - to kick off Easter week Addy got in the spirit with this outfit (check out the faces):
