Pumpkin Patch!

We all took Addison and Abigail to the Pumpkin Patch last weekend. It was a pretty measley little pumpkin patch but they didn't know any better so it was just fine. We walked through a hay maze, went on a hay ride, and picked out our pumpkin to carve! That was pretty much the extent of our visit. We did end up buying the most perfectly round and orange pumpkin I've ever seen though!

There's only 1 thing to do with this pumpkin.....

Itty Bitty Pigtails!

I got Addi's hair into itty bitty pigtails! We actually called them sprouts because they are so tiny. I had to try it though!

We have a crawler!!!

Addison has been "inching" around for about 3 weeks now. Not quite crawling but she could get herself where she needed to go. Well, the last week or so, it has been a full-on crawl! Granted, she doesn't get anywhere very quickly yet but she's definitely crawling! We were thinking she might be a late crawler because she much prefers to stand up and "walk" everywhere (with our help of course) but she proved us wrong! I'll try and get it on video today of her crawling and "walking" to post for everybody. Can't you believe this little monkey is big enough to crawl?!? It all goes by way too fast.

Poor Baby :(

Our little monkey has been teething pretty badly the last couple of days. I feel so horrible for her! The only thing helping is chewing on ice cubes in her mesh feeder and keeping a good flow of Tylenol going through her. Those little buggers don't look like they want to come out yet though! I wish they would just hurry up and poke through so I can have my happy baby back!

Just a few pics...

7 Months Old

She LOVES mirrors!



This right before she gave herself a big 'ol kiss!



Her favorite toy (primarily because she can stand and play with it at the same time)

Down on the Farm!

Addison spent the weekend with Nana and Grandpa and had a day down on the farm! She got to pet and ride Petey and go fishing with Grandpa. No fish were caught...not sure why because that fishing pole looks pretty impressive!

Just some cute pics from our picnic!

Crackers!


Is there something on my face?


Cutie pie!


Couldn't you just eat her?!?

First Trip to the Zoo!

We took Addi to the zoo for the first time today and she loved it! The weather was so wonderful...finally had a day that felt like Fall! We spent a lot of time watching the monkeys fly around their cages. They were quite active and they held her attention for a long time! We'll definitely be spending a lot more time at the zoo. It was extremely baby friendly and they even had a petting zoo!

Happy Birthday Grandpa and Uncle Ty!

Addi personally "signed" Mama Sue's, Grandpa's and Uncle Ty's birthday cards. She's quite the little artist! I think more paint ended up on her than on the cards but I think she had a pretty good time! We also enjoyed our very own popsicle (don't worry...just frozen organic apple juice!) that felt very good on our teething gums!

Happy Birthday Mama Sue!

Addison and Her Puppy

We gave Baby Girl a bath today and, as most dogs do after, she ran around the house drying herself off. Addison thought it was so funny! Sorry about the quality of the video. We had the camera propped up on the coffee table that was pretty far away. You can still hear her cute little laugh though!

Go Cowboys!

Addi's first Cowboys' game!

Finally, a Post!

Hi everybody! I apologize it's been so long since we've updated the blog. I promise I'll get better ;) Here's a glance of what's been going on since our last visit!

Addison turned 6 months old on August 19th. I have no idea where the time has gone! She had her check up where the doctor confirmed what we already knew....we have a very good eater on our hands! She was 19 pounds (95th percentile) and, wait for it, 28 inches (also in the 95th percentile)!!! We can't believe that a child of ours is taller than 95 percent of other babies her age! Woohoo!!! We got the ok to start her on veggies and fruit (she had been eating only formula and oatmeal up until this point). Here are a few pics from those adventures:


Mmmmm....Peas!




This is what she thought about her first bite of oatmeal at 5 months:






The food has been fun though. She now loves her oatmeal and she'll eat yogurt all day long if you let her! Her favorite vegetable is green beans although that seems to be changing every few days or so.


Last week we were in Houston for Poppaw's memorial service. Addi got to meet a lot of family she's never met before. She met her cousins Paul (8 months) and Hannah (just a few days behind Paul). She LOVED being around other babies!

Cups...our new favorite toy!




In the last 2 weeks, Addison has been pulling herself to a stand! She is such a determined little baby! I have a video of her pulling herself up in her crib that I'll have to find and post for you. She's thisclose to crawling. She'll get up on her hands and knees but she's not really too sure how to get the hands and the knees moving at the same time! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks she'll get the hang of it.

Alright, that's enough rambling for one post, let me break it up into another!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Daddy! We made a little video for Daddy for Father's Day. He really enjoyed it and we hope you do to! Turn up your sound!

Family Barbeque

We had a family barbeque today. We went swimming all day and ate lots of yummy food! Here are some pictures of me swimming with daddy, Aunt Karen, and Cousin Brady!

My First Tea Party

Auntie Anne invited me to my first Flower Fairies Tea Party! Flower Fairy Aysia hosted the party and it was so much fun! We hunted for flower fairies, did a flower fairy dance, had some tea, had story time and even decorated cookies and fairy wands! (Ok, so I slept through most of it but it sounded really fun!)
