June 26th- 7 months old

Today was Addie's 7-month birthday!! She broke the skin and has a tooth on the bottom. What a great birthday present. We are going to Kansas City this weekend for a mini vacation and for Addie's 7-month birthday. We are going to the zoo, her first visit to see the animals. We are super excited. We will take pictures and get them posted when we get back!

Dead Batteries! Bon Voyage Grammy!

We went to Mansfield this last weekend. We saw Grammy, Uncle Randy, Carla, David, Clayton, Logan, Jonah, Bev, Bill, Pa Cecil, Gran Norma, Granny, Tammy, Barry, Brittany, Linda, Sue, and Ronnie.

Our camera batteries were dead so we didn't get the pictures but Grammy did. The next time Grammy comes up to see us we will steal her pictures. So everyone will have to wait for those.

Also Grammy leaves for her cruise this Friday. Bring me back some baby margarita from Margaritaville, Grammy!! We love you be careful!

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.
