Addie and her favorite toy!

Mini-Vacay

About 2 weeks ago, Jeff, Addie and I packed up the car and drove to Michigan for our mini-vacay. We spent 5 days there and had a lot of R&R time. We went to Lake Michigan one day, did some hiking, visited with friends and family, did some reading and chilling. While we were there we also took some pictures. Addie is getting so big. She is now 5 months and 2 weeks and has 1 tooth coming in and another one poking through on the bottom. I can't believe it! She also can sit for a log period of time before she does a sideway dive. Adelyn is now rolling front to back and scooting backwards. The other day I put her on her blanket in the living room, went into the kitchen to get some water and when I came back around corner she had scooted all the way off the blanket and had her foot was stuck under a book case. I can't wait till she can really move. : )

Here are some more pictures of her as we play around with her on a blanket outside of the cottage that we stayed at.

Morning Girl

I have decided that Adelyn is a morning girl. GREAT FOR ME! Because I love to get up early...If you know me at all that is sarcasm. But I am getting better at this early morning stuff...as long as I can move slow...That is why I usually drink coffee, feed Addie and watch the Today for an hour every morning to wake myself up. Here are some pictures of Adelyn this morning Jumping in her Jumparoo!

Rescue

After Addie was swinging for a couple of minutes Jeff and I came to the rescue because she started to get upset.

So after a min with Dad, Addie went back into the swing.

Thanks to the Heiney's!

Thanks to the Directors Family at Flat Rock we now have a swing! And even though it has been sitting in our yard for a couple of weeks it is now up! Yesterday we took Addie to swing and the pictures are a result of her first swing....

Adelyn when I first put her in the swing...She is not to sure about this...

As I stepped away.. Mom?

After Awhile...

And than Addie said, "Hmmm...I like this rope"

At the end I think she thought, "this isn't too bad."

14 pounds!!!

ISNT SHE THE CUTEST THING!!!

Today we went to the doctor for Addie's 4 month check up. Can you believe it, 4 months! She is now 14 pounds...She may look little to most people but she is a chunk! I love every little chunk though. After the Dr.Apt Addie and I went to Target and we wandered the aisles....It is sad but Target seems like Macy's to me compared to the Walmart in Shelbyville. Oh the life of a country bumkin! HELP!!!! HA HA HA....

Crazy Summer

Well the title of this entry tells it all. It has been a crazy summer so far. So I am sorry if people have gotten on here to see pics of Addie and have seen little updating. But Adelyn and I have been running all over the midwest. In the last few weeks we have been to Warner Camp 3 times and to 2 weddings (in different towns) and have been to Indianapolis multiple times to get things situated. To give you a little glimpse into what Jeff, Addie and I were doing to get our lives situated the last couple of months, here it is, we got our house ready and rented, traded in two cars for 1 car and cleaned and packed up my classroom. Which are all things that have needed to be done since we moved to the big booming town of St. Paul in April. So we are all really excited that we can begin slowing our lives down and stay in one place for a little while. Even though this is Jeff's busy season at camp. I am glad that I can stay in one spot with Adelyn for a little while. Life can be pretty rough running around with a little baby. It takes a lot of energy and patience. Below are pictures from the some one of the weddings and tummy time the other day. She is getting so big! Her head is now moving as she watches people and Molly move around the room and she is kicking and cooing....
