Eric and Tasha's Wedding











So we have been to our first graduation and now our first wedding. Eric and Tasha got married on Saturday at the Botanical Gardens in Fayetteville. I was very concerned because the last time I drove by it was a field and a post. Now it is very beautiful so we used the wonderful garden to take pictures of our gorgeous baby!

Little Dippers



For those of you who may need to know, these are called Little Dippers. They are made to help babies learn to feed themselves and to explore their mouth. We "SLP's" use them a lot for feeding therapy. However, I have discovered that since Addie is teething and enjoys chewing on the spoon maybe these would prevent her from jabbing out her tonsils. So we are using them to chew on! I think they are made by Gerber they are in the baby area at WalMart

The New Car!


This is Jeremy and Addie with our new car. For those of you who may not have known, my husband's first love was his Jeep. We have had it for almost 3 years and he loved it so much. Jeremy only drives 4 miles to work but the Jeep gets awful gas mileage. Like for real, 11 miles to the gallon. So this is our new car that gets 30mpg! We have named it
"Miles Per Gallon Wagon"
It is the 09 Toyota Corolla Sport Edition

Eating Prunes


Addie is shown here eating prunes. As you can see, she loves them. Addie is not a picky eater. Squash is the only thing that she really doesn't seem to like. But she doesn't refuse it. Peaches make her spit up a lot so we are going to avoid those for awhile.

Her new milestones are:
-she has finally laughed the deep baby belly laugh at her Daddy of course
-she is rolling with ease all over the place
-she moves objects from hand to hand with ease
-she can take her pacifier out of mouth and put it back in
-her hair color, and eye color are still up for grabs
-she doesn't seem to prefer one hand over the hand (she has until she is 5 to figure this out) but with Jeremy being right handed and me being left handed we are excited to see which she uses?
-she really loves to go outside with Bigby and Bella

We are to the point now where Addie has learned so much and is exciting but also to a sad point where she isn't that tiny little baby anymore.

Mother's Day


This was my first Mother's Day! Addie and Addie Daddy bought me a Pandora bracelet with Addie charms. I got a little girl, Addie's birthstone, and a love heart!!

Nub's Graduation 5/3/08


This is me getting some love from my Uncle Nub. We drove all the way to Stillwater, Oklahoma to watch him graduate. Actually, mom and I heard him graduate. I kinda got upset and we had to step out.

I showed everyone all of my tricks how I can drink through a straw and how I can roll over, and I ate some bananas.

Anyways, graduation was at 2. This is my least favorite time of the day. So I was nursing my self to sleep when all of a sudden all of the people started singing "OOOOOOOOOOklahoma." Who knew the state song of Oklahoma was actually "Oklahoma" and that they were going to sing and clap. Well this completely freaked me out.

After I wore my cute OSU outfit and huge bow, I fell asleep in the bathroom stripped down to one white onesie and one sock.

Congratulations Uncle Nub!!
We are very proud of you!!

Quick Rolling Update

As of today, Addie can now roll from supine to prone with no difficulty at all. I showed up at Anna's for our morning feeding, and here came Alea, Addie's two year old friend. Alea says, "Baby back, Baby belly"

So apparently while Anna was doing laundry, Addie rolled over. She would then get mad and so Anna would flip her over. Then she would do it again. So she flipped approximately 20 times today.

Yeah!!!

Before School

This is me and my daddy before school. I wore my purple polo style dress with white stripes and my daddy has a matching shirt. My mommy thinks we are the cutest things ever!

*She giggles out loud a little more
*She constantly is talking
*She has accidentally blown raspberries
*She cannot take her eyes off her momma
*She knows her name
*She can almost roll from supine to prone
*She can take off socks and shoes and suck on her big toe (Anna's claims this is her best trick)
*She has eaten peaches, pears, applesauce, prunes, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, squash and avocado
*She has slept through the night one time
*She is possibly teething right now

Wanted One Wonderful Guy!!


This is our friend and auntie Alix. She too is a SLP! We love her very much and she is an excellent friend. I am looking for the perfect guy to set her up with. However, I really don't know any. But if you do..... I am open to any good candidates.

Right after this picture Maebrie poked Addie in the eyeball and she started crying.

Addie, Anna Beth and Maebrie

Last week, we were very honored to have met Anna Beth. Nina and Anna Beth were visiting from Memphis. Nina is also a speech language pathologist and worked with Jamie and I. She recently moved and we are very sad. But her sister still lives in the area so we will still get to see her. Anna Beth is four days younger than Addie!
