At the shore...

This weekend we headed north to New Jersey to celebrate the wedding of my good friend Beth (aka "Schu") and Matt. I have known Schu since freshman year of college, which will make it 11 years this fall...um...that's a LONG time.

It was a beautiful ceremony, a very fun reception (can you say ICE CREAM BAR?), and we are SO happy for the newlyweds. Congratulations, Schu and Matt!

Addie spent some time with family while I was busy with wedding stuff. She and I drove up (Steve had to work so he came up later) on Friday and I dropped her off with her grandma and grandpa at their bookstore, the Booktrader of Hamilton and then I headed to the shore for the rehearsal. Here's Addie is getting all snuggly on Grandma.


Steve joined Addie on Friday night, then drove with Addie to the shore on Saturday afternoon. Uncle Doug and Aunt Alli came down from their part of NJ to watch Addie so Steve and I could enjoy the wedding festivities. After the ceremony and before the reception, we took pictures at a lake and at the beach. The pictures at the beach were just a few blocks from our hotel so I called Steve to bring Addie to see everyone (okay, I hadn't seen her in 24 hours...I was itchin' for a cuddle from my little bug!). Here's me in my bridesmaid's dress holding the peanut.
We came home with the high chair that the talented Grandpa Silvestro made for Steve and Doug years and years ago...she loves it!

Inaugural meal in the high chair--avocado. She loved avocado more than sweet potato and even better than bananas (which surprised me!)




Okay, folks. I saw this on another baby blog and I thought it was a fun idea.

Here's the thing--ask a question about Addie that you've been curious about...and we'll answer in the next post!

Put your question in the comments box, and as long as it is appropriate...we'll answer!

So...ask away!

What's Addie's favorite color?

How much is she weighing these days (when does that question become inappropriate ;)?

Does Addie prefer frogs or turtles?

Do you think Addie would like to climb Mt Everest some day?

Do you think Ah-dee is ticklish? and if yes, where?

Are there any new sounds she likes?

Shannon: Do you mind when I try to eat you? I also like to pull other babies' hair now, is that okay with you?
