addie crawled around the living room this evening. well...kind of crawled, slid, shuffled...let's just say she moved on her own, ok? here are some pics from this evening, and btw, she likes chapelle's show.

more of the crocheted outfit

grandma pulliam liked this outfit, so here are some more pics from the other day.

terri's hair--where did it go?

terri had her hair cut off today. she donated it to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that makes hairpieces for underpriveleged children with cancer and other hair loss diseases (http://www.locksoflove.org/). i'm a bit upset to lose my "hippy wife"--i was a big fan of the long hair, but she looks great with short hair also. trivia fact: i met terri when her hair was long, and shortly thereafter she had it cut short--i like to think so i could tell her apart from her twin sister. ok, anyway, here's how she looks now.

Addie's Rocking Back and Forth and Playtime!

now addie is rocking back and forth on her hands and knees, a sure sign of crawling in the future! she loves to sit and play with just about anything, as you will see in these pix. the purple bunny is from her uncle kevin and aunt pat in tennessee and she loves it! it is as big as she is! the pink sweater is something my grandmother made (crocheted) in the early 70's for both me and my sister. can't believe it's been passed down and still looking great!

Addies First PEAS and ACORN SQUASH!!!!

ok, so she didn't really care for the peas (i got about 4 bites down her!) but she was humming a "yummy" with the acorn squash.....note you can't really see any acorn squash on her face because she didn't spit any of it back out! for the record, she is now eating rice cereal w/ bananas, sweet potatoes, pears, and regular bananas...all of which are fresh and/or homemade!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

this is how we spent our non-working federal holiday! daddy played piano for addie!

The Funniest Thing.....

finally, we have a break in the rain.....so i took addie and the dogs on a very nice, long walk through the greenbelt and neighborhood! addie was sitting up the first half (she didn't want to have any part in the recline position of the stroller) and here's how she ended up, after my futile attempts to get her to sit back a bit! yeah, she could still breathe and what not, but she was comfy i guess!

Addie's First Veggie

well, we decided to try addie out on sweet potatoes a week prior to her 6 month birthday! as most of you know, we are making our own baby food, so you can see jp prepping the taters....pears are next! addie didn't know what to make of her first bite, but at least she didn't spit it out! will keep you posted!
