Daddy's Home!!

I apologize for my lack of posts. We've been so busy this week! Daddy returned home on Friday night and we were sooooo excited!! Addy and I sure missed him. We have spent the week getting the house ready and spending some quality time together. Addy also has been showing daddy some of her new tricks. She says "hi dada" whenever she sees him. It's adorable. We are hoping to post a video soon. Addy has also been sick and we finally took her to the hospital yesterday. We found out she had an ear infection and sinus infection-- Poor baby. I really thought that breastfeeding her would make her immune to these types of illnesses--- apparently not. She is much better today after the meds kicked in! She is just as happy as can be, although she has been quite a trooper and a very happy girl during her sickness (part of the reason why we didn't take her to the hospital). We spent Memorial Day weekend at the neighborhood pool.

Addy, Grace, and Noah

Addy met up with Grace and Noah this week for a playdate-- they had a blast! All 3 of them have grown so much since they had last been together. Here is Addy and Noah are playing with the farm.
The dancing Elmo was quite a hit!
Addy has 2 more teeth!


Addy and Emmy



We went up to Northern VA this weeks to stay with our friends the Cullinan's. It was nice to stay with friends and have some adult time! Here are a few pictures of Addy and Emmy playing.

Yummy Food

We've had a pretty uneventful couple of days. We spent my first Mother's Day without daddy :( We are so anxious for him to get home! Our neighbor's were so kind and invited us over for dinner--- filet mignon (my favorite!!) and it was DELICIOUS.
Addy has become a bottomless pit. I can feed this child all day and she will still eat!! She is eating a mini bagel at almost every meal along with her kashi puff cereal. I will then feed her a FULL bowl of whatever and she sometimes will want seconds. I can't believe she is not gaining that much weight. For breakfast she eats yogurt, cottage cheese, with different fruit. For lunch she's been eating brown rice with, tofu, avocado, banana, and flaxseed (sounds disgusting but she loves it). And dinner is usually a mix of a few veggies (brocoli, asparagus, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and mashed potatoes). Lately, I've been giving her ALL 6 of those vegetables because she will keep eating it all.
This is the face Addy makes when her food is all gone (Mommy I want more!!)

Playgroup

Our neighborhood has a baby/toddler playgroup that meets every week. We decided to check it out yesterday! It was a beautiful day so all the kids were on the playground. There were about 12 moms and 20 kiddos. We also met 2 baby girls around Addy's age-- Camryn and Emily who were both 10 months. Addy was sweet to share her blanket, toys, and snacks (these days I don't leave home without something for her to eat-- SHE LOVES TO EAT!!)

8 months old!

Today Addy is 8 months old! I just love these pictures. She has been eating Kashi puff cereal as a finger food and it often gets stuck to her face! The bottom picture is Addy getting up after her nap this afternoon-- Love the hair!

Addy and MacGregor

Addy loves MacGregor more and more each day. Everytime he comes near her she gets so excited and sticks out her hand for him to lick her. She giggles whenever he licks her. She also LOVES to pull his hair (It's just so tempting)!! He is really good about it and just sits in pain while she pulls away. The weather has been so nice the last few days that we sit outside on the grass to play.
