Bath Time!

Addie is still enjoying bath time... which we are really grateful for!

Now that she's sitting up she enjoys trying to reach the drain plug.
I keep trying to interest her in splashing... to no avail (yet).

A Little Help With Laundry...

Generally speaking, our little one loves sitting in the laundry bin... every once in a while I carry her and the laundry around when I need to move from one room to another.

A Gnome Bear

Addie is quite a sight when we get her ready to go outside. Although she's not very fond of the process of getting dressed, she definitely loves the result: being outside. One of these days we'll snap a picture of her hat, in all it's foot-long glory (courtesy of our friends & neighbors, Aundrey & Anya)...

One of the funniest bits about her outside outfit is that once she is in it she can't really move. She'll sit on the couch, as pictured here, and move her eyes side to side watching us walking around as we finish getting ready to leave.

Our Little Runaway

Addie started crawling over a month ago. She is getting around much quicker these days. When she first began crawling she had a little difficulty with the coordination and often ended up going backwards before going forward. She is definitely moving forward these days and she tends to favor the army crawl (mostly using her arms).


The collages are courtesy of Picasa. We downloaded the program, available because of blogger & gmail accounts. It has some nice features, though it definitely takes a little time playing with the program to figure out how to get the product you want.

Because A Little Laughter...

Is good for you!

Chris took the first two videos while amusing Addie... so they are a little shakey.

I took the next one, and included a shot of what Chris was doing to evoke Addie's laughter.

Pity Me!

Lighten up your screens, this video is a little dark. We had Addie sitting in her stroller while we ate and talked with her... and this is some of what she had to say...

Sick and Tired

...of being sick and tired!


We've been sick since Monday. Addie is doing much better... her fever broke the morning of New Year's Eve, so all that's left is an occasional cough. Unfortunately I'm still a little under the weather which is why there haven't been any posts recently... we hope to "back in business" once I'm doing a bit better.
