Where's Waldo...I mean Addie?

Do you see her amongst all the babies Cambree laid out?

 

There she is!

 

I can't even imagine what mischief these two will be up to in about a year or so. Glad they have each other to play with!

 

Bananas...

Since rice cereal didn't go over very well, I thought I'd give baby food a try. I considered giving her vegetables but since she didn't even care for rice cereal I thought bananas would be best. Here's how it went...

Before I fed her, she was all smiles...

 

I knew she was hungry because she was eating her tray...

 

And as soon as I put the bananas in her mouth she freaked out. It was as if I had put Tabasco sauce in her mouth, she wasn't a happy camper.

 

I guess we'll have to keep at it. Hopefully she'll enjoy it someday.

While we are gone...

Benton and I went out to dinner last weekend and had my parents watch the girls. This is what we came home to, my mom and Addie all snuggled up...

 

toys everywhere...

 

And Cambree and my dad all snuggled up watching tv wearing these silly hats...

 

Aren't grandparents the best? It certainly made me smile!

TV Time

Addie just watching a little TV today while I was getting ready...

 

 

 

6 Months Old!

I cannot believe a half of a year has already passed since we had Addison & Allie. This past week was a rough one, I know it's just going to take some time to heal.

Here's some information about Addison at 6 months old. She is the sweetest baby. She smiles ALL the time. I can easily get a picture of her smiling at any given time.

 

 

She weighs 11 pounds 5 ounces which is under the 5% for weight. And for height she is 24 inches long, also under the 5%. I'm sure with time she'll catch up.

 

Cambree loves Addie. She loves to kiss, hug and hold her. Lately Cambree has been copying how I talk to Addie (baby talk) and it's pretty funny to listen to. I'm glad they have each other.

 

 

She still enjoys bath time. She kicks her little legs so the water splashes out of the tub. Soon she'll need to bathe with Cambree, just as soon as she can sit up on her own.

 

She can grasp objects and holds onto them. It always amazes me when she sees something she wants and grabs it.

 

I think she might be teething because she's really drooly and sticks everything in her mouth.

 

She's been nursing great. I finally gave in and let her try rice cereal for the first time yesterday.

 

As you can see she had some mixed emotions...

 

 

 

 

We know how much of a blessing it is to have our girls apart of our family. Allie is always in our hearts, even though she's not here with us. Love our baby girls that came to us 6 months ago.

30 Years Old!

For some reason turning 30 was hard for me. Probably because I can't say I'm in my twenties any longer. But if I really think about it, I think life in my thirties will be pretty great. I have a loving family and with the years to come, I know it will just get better and better.

 

My parents took me out to lunch and bought me a cake. I think Cambree enjoyed it the most!

 

I also went to dinner with a couple of girlfriends and this weekend Benton is taking me out to celebrate. Here's to my thirties!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays, I mean who doesn't love a day full of love?

Sadly, I very rarely get Benton anything for Valentine's Day. This year I thought I'd do something special for him, I found the idea online and loved it, a man bouquet. I also got Cambree the little puppy dog whom she calls "Brrr" and Addie a Valentine's book. Benton wrote me a "love letter" as I call it. He was so sweet, that I cried. It was the best Valentine's present I could ask for.

 

One of my cute Valentine's!

 

Hope you had a day full of love as well!
