My New Hat

Grandma and Grandpa T. took a trip to Seattle this week and brought Addy back a present.

Her first Mariner's hat:





Isn't it cute? Go team!

10 months & Changes

Here are Addy's 10 month bear photos:


This month has brought a lot of change. For example Little is crawling all around the house. We've also noticed something else over the last week. Little's hair is starting to lay down more. I should probably be excited about this, but I am actually sad. I love her stick up hair.



It is very wispy and pretty - and seems to be getting longer every day.

Happy 10 months my sweet baby girl!

Crazy Crawling

I don't think I've ever made a post without a picture . . . but here it goes. I can't resist telling this story. Tonight caps our first week with a baby that is crawling. If you don't have kids - this is a big deal. Sunday night when Addy started crawling the whole dynamic of our household changed and it has been a little crazy. We chase her and intercept her a lot.

Scott left tonight and I was picking some things up around the kitchen while Addy played with some toys around the side of the counter in the family room. You know how there are some chores you do without even thinking about them? Well, I grabbed the dog's water dish to refill. Now, it is important to know that the water dish is Addy's most favorite thing right now, she loves to get her hands into it. Anyway, so I am at the sink filling the dish and I panic because I can hear thump, thump, thump coming from the general area of Addy. I just know she's going for the water dish. And like all the other times I go running around the counter to ensure she doesn't fall in.

As I round the counter I pause because she is heading right for it and the water dish appears to be missing. Immediately I look around, did Addy take it somewhere? Am I that out of it that I didn't catch her clunking that big dish around on the floor?

Now, if you know me at all you know I like to talk to myself and gesture wildly with my hands. So, once I can't seem to figure out what happened to the water dish I mutter some kind of comment and throw my hands up in frustration. At which point the water dish in my hand, full of fresh water, tips and the entire contents pour all over me.

And at that moment Addy looks at me and laughs.

Lions and Toilet Paper

Addy is crawling around all over the place now. She loves the dog's water dish and the drawers in her room!

Here is Addy with her new ride and push toy. The Lion's hair is fun like Addy's.



Addy also found a roll of toilet paper to check out. Notice in the second picture all the actual paper is gone. She tried to eat most of it and then tried to feed it to Daisy.



Little really likes doors. She will sit and move the door back and forth checking on each side of the door to see what is there.




By the way, I got stung by a wasp tonight and Scott told me to put an onion on it (which supposedly sucks out the bad stuff) and it totally worked - the swelling and pain went away immediately and never came back. And, yes even after a couple of attempts at washing my arm still smells a lot like an onion!

Zoo Time

Addy went on her first trip to the zoo on Saturday. We had a great time!


Addy really liked the aquarium the best. She liked all the water. So many bubbles and shiny things to look at . . .


She was really taken with the big walrus that kept coming by the window.



Each time he would pass, Addy would like at me like "What was that?"



We didn't spend too much time with the sharks, mommy couldn't take it!


What a fun adventure! She was all smiles when we got home.


Happy weekend.

Addy for President!

Little got this great onsie from Gramma T. when she came back from Washington D.C.






This blog sure would make for some fun reading if Addy got to the White House.

Trying to Crawl

Little is on the brink of crawling. The last couple of days she's getting up on her hands and knees and shuffling around.

Daddy tries to help show Little how it is done.

Here is Addy trying a few different times:



Sometimes she ends up flat on the ground and then attempts to eat the animal hair or fuzz she finds on the carpet.

Little sure gets excited about trying to crawl.

But it is hard work, Little had to take a break for a while:



Have a great week.

Bum Trouble

Little has had some tummy issues the last couple of days that have resulted in a very sore tush. For some relief she's been hanging out without a diaper. Aren't these shots cute?






What a cute bum!

The Wedding

Addy got to go to her first wedding this weekend. She has a lot of fun and looked very pretty in her dress!

Here is Addy in her dress:

Little wasn't so sure during the ceremony:

Addy got the chance to spend time with her two friends Gracie and Gavin (the older kids) and meet a new friend Savannah. Savannah's mom and I work together. We were pregnant together and the girls are about 6 weeks apart.


With all the toys to play with Savannah and Addy fought over the bag with the pee pee diaper in it!

The bride and I worked together for a few years and there were lots of friends from work there. Here is a picture of the group for those that didn't get a chance to attend.


Here is some video of the girls eating their crackers:

Little rests with Daddy for a minute.


What a fun day! Congratulations Samantha and Eric!

Zoom, Zoom

Addy is loving her walker and she is getting very fast. She runs all over the house in it and chases me around. (It hurts if she hits you with it on the back of the heels.)







Zoom Zoom Zoom!!

Friday at Home

Little Addy isn't feeling too good. We just stayed around the house today trying to feel a little bit better.


During her afternoon nap she actually slept like this . . . I've seen other kids do this, but this was a first for Little.


We still had some fun tonight in the bathtub:




Have a great weekend!
