Addie and I spend a lot of time with Bess and Anne. We're in a mom's group with them and they live all of an 8 minute drive away, so when you need some baby/mama fun, who else do you call? Bess and I realized that Addie and Anne had matching outfits, so we got them all suited up for some twin action (note: Addie's dark features, and Anne's red hair...not so twinny, but whatever, they're too cute together!)


Our little strawberries


Butt shots are always cute, right?


Anne, cute and happy as can be in her stroller


My uncle John and his daughter Olivia were in town from Toronto this week. We spent some time at my mom's pool with them and had a bbq there last weekend...


And at our place last night (Steve, the photographer of this shot, so not pictured, is quite the ribs master these days thanks to Aunt Robbie's recipe)


Addie's been having fun doing all sorts of new things lately. She loves pulling herself...


...up!


And while she's been able to sit upright without falling for 3 months now, we've always had to put her in that position. So it was to our surprise that one day after a nap we found her...sitting up on her own! She loves doing it now and looks very proud each time she gets up to sitting from lying down. And yes, we dropped the crib mattress since taking this picture so that she can't pull herself up and out!


She also is becoming quite the kisser--if you count an open-mouthed swath of drool coming at your cheek a kiss....we do :)


And a hugger....the sweetness of our little bear is unending.


Our super-girl is growing up so fast!!!

Addie the Muppet

This is hands down one of my most favorite video clips of Addie to date. I laugh like crazy every time I see it, and as you will hear in the clip, I laughed like crazy when I saw it happen. I don't even know why, but really...just watch:
