8 months old!!

Our little girl is growing up so fast! Didn't we just post the 7 month pictures? Sheesh! Here are a few in-a-pretty-dress-on-the-glider shots:



And on the floor with her taggy ball

And some random on-the-living-room-floor action:

I'm so happy to be 8 months old!!


I'm not crawling yet, but I'm working on it. Practice makes perfect, right?


Ooh....a toy!


Almost...got....it....

Gotta practice my look....is it Blue Steel? Magnum?


So what's new with Ms. Adeline lately?

Favorite Food: Watermelon

Least favorite food: Sweet Potatoes

Favorite Toy: Her taggy ball (see above)

Favorite non-toy: A pop-up travel foldable hairbrush (looks like this)

Favorite new trick: Getting up on her hands and knees

Number of teeth: two (bottom center)

Most annoying habit: Stealing the shopping list out of our hands and eating it, OR--screaming bloody murder if we don't let her eat said list.

Cutest habit: Ummm...everything?

Actually, our current favorite is how she loves to kiss her reflection.


Some 4th of July pics! Here is Addie helping us clean the house in preparation for the BBQ:


We dressed Addie in her WonderWoman onesie because it was the most patriotic outfit she had (we weren't very prepared)


Luckily, our wonderful neighbor Christiana who also gave Addie her Valentine's day bib brought over a flag for Addie to play with as well as the cool rubber ducky who we named Michael Flanagan (long story--but here's a winky smile for the only person reading the blog who would think that's funny;)


Our good friend Janine came over to play this week and Addie had a BLAST with her. (for those of you who were at our wedding, Janine was the one with the amazing voice who sang at the ceremony)

In other news...we're packing Addie up in a box and sending her to Egypt.

Just kidding :) But we are packing up--our landlord decided that he wants to sell the townhouse we're renting from him. The fact that the other townhouses in our little community that were up for sale are now being rented apparently didn't deter him. We could have stayed month-to-month until he sold it, but who are we kidding--we can't keep this place clean enough for ourselves, let alone to have walk-throughs for total strangers at the drop of a hat.

So we're moving about 10 minutes down the road near our friends Joe and Renelle. So if anyone LOVES packing boxes, please let us know. Delicious, healthy home-cooked meals and slobbery kisses from a little peanut will be showered upon you.
