Appeasing the grandmothers

We've had some computer problems lately, which is why it's been a loooong time since the last post (9 days) but the grandmothers are getting itchy for some new blog pics, so here's a post with some of the newest photos...we love you, Grandmas!!

Addie is enjoying the new house a lot. There's so much light, she's often chasing sunbeams. :)


One of Addie's fun new tricks is to make an "O" with her mouth when we whistle or say "Addie, can you whistle?" We've caught it on video, and I promise that it'll be up soon, but for now, a still photo of this funny little "trick" of hers.

Farmer Addie enjoying the sunbeams yet again.

Hi! How are you? Remember when I visited Austin when Addie was just a little bitty bit in my belly? She's happy that she fits in that cool t-shirt now.

When we spent the weekend at the beach with Shannon her family, Shannon brought a deck of cards to play with. At that point, Addie was too young to enjoy the sorting and shuffling of the 52 pieces of cardboard. She just kind of sucked on one until it dissolved in her mouth. Now, she is old enough to have fun pushing them around, picking them up and putting them down and carrying them across the house. Oh...and there's a corner bitten out of the Ace of Hearts.

The temperature is starting to cool off in DC, and we have had some beautiful weekends. Last weekend we went on a picnic with our friends (and now neighbors!) Joe and Renelle.


Here is Addie looking for one of the dogs hanging out by the picnic bench. Addie was kind of wary around dogs, but since we moved to the Shirlington area and go on walks all the time, we see dogs ALL OVER THE PLACE. As a result, Addie is getting used to dogs and likes watching them. In fact, a couple of times when we've said "Look, do you see the dog?" Addie responds with "Daw" which sounds a lot like her "Da" for Stevo, but with rhymes closer to "Dog" :) Maybe it will be her first official non-mama/dada word? Only time will tell!
