20 Weeks

I can't believe Addy is 5 months old already. I say that all the time, but it's so true, time just keeps flying by!



Such a sweetheart! There isn't really anything else new. Addy had fun showing Daddy how to make a mess with cereal today! I think it's safe to say she's the cleanest baby ever...right after she eats! At least she's getting a lot of play time in the tub, she loves her bath toys, too!

Tomorrow...Steven's birthday!

Cereal Fun

Well, I think I could sum up our experience with cereal in one word...MESSY! So eating off a spoon is certainly not a natural skill, but Addy is doing pretty well trying to figure it out. And when the rice cereal dries it's super crusty. Yum.

Before...


Enjoying this weird stuff my parents think I should eat...


Fingers always help... smear things around...


I'm so done with this!


Immediately following the meal...


We'll give Addy some time to adjust to the cereal then we'll start her on some veggies in a couple weeks. We've been told by several people to not introduce the fruits for a while because babies tend to not like the veggies once they taste the sweet stuff! Can't say I blame them!

Saucer Fun

As I've mentioned before, Addy loves playing in her saucer. Here are a couple pictures of her in it. Yes, it's a slow news day, not much going on! But stay tuned...we're going to try cereal tomorrow!


Look, no hands!



Just one more... :)

Weekend Fun

What a fun and busy weekend! We painted our laundry room on Saturday afternoon. It's not the first room I imagined painting after Addy's room, but we had to repair the walls from when they removed the old countertop and installed the right one. My mom gave me a good idea to paint the laundry room a color that I liked instead of the same color it was, and I was more than happy to ditch that flat paint! No picture of the new laundry room for now, there's too many clothes hanging and I don't feel like folding them right now! Maybe later.

Then Saturday evening we had Chris, Wendy, and Connor over for dinner. They were very kind and brought a birthday cake for me...and 29 candles to go with it! Did I mention that 10 of the 29 candles were the ones that you really can't blow out? It was fun.



Addy is just as cute as ever, trying to grow up too fast. She really wants to sit up by herself. It's amazing from one week to the next how much stronger she gets. Just a week ago we were stuffing a blanket around her in the saucer to help hold her up so she could play with the toys easier, and this week she doesn't need the help. She plays so well and supports herself just fine. She even scoots around in circles constantly to play with all the toys. It is so fun to watch her!

We did capture one picture of her trying to sit up by herself, she lasted for a few seconds before leaning and falling over!



And, thinking back one year ago today...we moved into the hotel, which we thought was only for a week and ended up lasting a month! Amazing how many things have changed in one year!
