I am a big GIRL!!

So as a mother, I have discovered that there are some things that really concern me and some things that don't. As a therapist and a mommy the two things that I have been super paranoid about were first the CARSEAT and second of all SIPPY CUPS.

I registered for and received the carseat that won all the safety awards. Which Addie also sits in during tornadoes.

As far as the sippy cup goes, we are using straw cups and she does really well with restaurant straws however; home cups with straws are spill proof. So they have weird little straw valves so she has to mash with her gums and then suck! But she is getting the hang of it. Here Daddy is holding the cup up so that when she bites it, water will come. Kinda cheating but it helped her learn the cause and effect of the straw cup.

Most people are somewhat impressed with this but yes Addie can suck through a straw and has been doing it for a while now.

Going swimming in the little pool!!

For Father's Day, we bought Addie her kiddy pool, filled it up, let it warm in the sun and then played in the shade. This is her preparing for the outing.

Here I am playing in the pool. It was just like a big bathtub. I didn't love it but I didn't hate either.

Eating a fish!

The Best Daddy!

This is how a great Daddy spends his first Father's Day. He is blowing up a pool by mouth for his Adder's.

Meeting Baby Currin!!

We went to visit Baby Currin for Ms. Vicki's birthday. Ms. Vicki is mommy's work friend and our carpool buddy. I call her "Lady in the Mirror." This is her new grandson that was born on Mommy's birthday. He is a doll. He seems so small compared to me!

Some items have yet to be mastered

There have been lots of changes in baby products over the years, but noone is yet to master baby sunglasses. The first pair we bought the sides were to long and didn't hook behind her ears properly. These have a headband thing and the velcro is in the wrong place. However, they are still just absolutely precious on Miss Adalynn.

I need big bows please!!

So, I have always thought that bald babies were cute. I wanted Addie to be blessed with Jeremy's thick hair but I wanted her to be bald. So I never dreamed at 7 months, she would still just have fuzz. Therefore, none of the little clippy bows work yet. We invited Jamie and Maebrie over so that Jamie could make Addie some more bows for Friday night friend night. Here is Addie modeling a bow and Maebrie showing off her skills. She can pull up and cruise around.

Babysitters!!

Last week, Mommy had her part-time jobs to do and Daddy had a Physics workshop to attend, so we needed some babysitters.

Tuesday, I went to Anna's house and visited and played with Alea.

Then on Wednesday, I stayed with Uncle Randy. He kept me like all day, changed all of my diapers even a poop one and fed me two bottles and some baby food! He was an awesome babysitter.

Thursday and Friday, my Grammy came. She lets me do things that mommy and daddy say "no" too. Like playing computer games and holding me while I sleep.
