Way Behind in Updating the Blog

OK, so I'll be the first to admit that we have been horrible about updating the blog lately. Addie is sick today so I stayed home with her. I have already caught up on work emails and she is still taking a nap, so I actually have a few minutes to post some pictures. Those few minutes are rare these days as all you mothers know.

Addie has been very busy these last few weeks. She is crawling now. She started really going everywhere when we got home from the holidays in Paducah. She is already pulling up on the couch and Mommy's legs. Her most favorite thing to do is still walking (while holding someone's hands). If only we could teach Amos how to walk her around! Her second most favorite thing is eating puffs. She gets so excited when you get the container out!

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys these pictures. You might not see anymore for a little while!

What about my hairdo? Daddy got a little carried away while giving Addie a bath. This is Addie's serious face.

Christmas Time!!

Addie and Tristan playing with Tristan's Cracker Barrel toy.
Addie and Mom swinging on the swing and Auburt and Catherine the Great's house.

Addie and Mom taking it easy after a long day of opening presents and playing with cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
When Addie gets tired, she will put that thumb in her mouth. Though it's cute, we would rather her not do that.
Mommy showing Addie how to play with her new toy from Aunt Abbie. It also doubles as a walker. Addie is now taking full advantage of that.
Addie loves looking out Granna's back window into the back yard. This is where the doggies hang out most of the time.
Addie can hold herself up but Mom still lends a hand just in case she loses her balance.
Granna got Addie some Keens. They were actually for Palmer...I think...but they didn't fit. Either way, Addie will get a lot of use out of them this summer.

New Hat...thanks Granna.
Just a few pics of Addie actually looking at the camera.

We celebrated Christmas in Memphis on Christmas Eve. These last pics are of that morning.
Addie eating the wrapping paper.
Amos only got one gift but it is one of his favorite toys. He has long since destroyed his last soccer ball and we have taken too long in replacing it.
Addie really likes her new book. Thanks David and Cindy.
Amos was just about as interested in the new toys as Addie was.
Addie grinning as she opens a gift from David and Cindy. Thanks guys.
Addie will hold her own bottle while eating...sometimes. When it is full it is still a little too heavy though.
This is a pic of Addie and I hanging out. I have tried to put this as my facebook profile picture but I can't upload anything right now for some reason.
This bear was built for Addie by her friends Blake and Todd. It plays soccer and I think Emma has this same bear.
This is another picture of Addie doing what she likes most...eating the wrapping paper.
