It has been too long since I've last posted, I can't remember the last time. Addy has just been getting too big for my liking. I miss my sleepy little newborn, who used to sleep on me at nap time and wherever she needed. Now she's this almost 1 year old who won't sleep unless its in one of her "beds" or carseat. She is up and going from the time she wakes up til the time she crashes for nap time. She's growing and learning so much everyday, we are just amazed at how quick she picks up on everything. Now she's learned to shake her head for yes and no, she feeds herself, and is a crawling beast. No "real" walking yet, she cruises all around the living room while holding on the stuff. She takes about 5 or 6 steps then falls down. I can't believe in a month and a half I'm going to be the mother of a 1 year old.

We are lucky enough to have a good friend for a photographer, even though we have to drive 3 1/2 hours to see her. It's worth it to get her to do out pictures and hang with us. We can't wait to go back down and celebrate Addy's 1st birthday. We got a Hotel room booked at the Peery Hotel and are going to the Zoo. I feel like I'm starting out too big and I'll feel like I'll have to go bigger and better every year. But I guess when she's turning 16 and I've done all I can think of, all that will be left is a trip to the moon.

 I just love my little cheeser to pieces. It's been hard the last month or so cause I'm back to working 7 days a week. I work at the pharmacy 5 days a week and I'm at the firework stand on the weekends. I need to money though to pay off our substantial hospital debt. Between Addy and Clint's surgery in May we need all the extra income we can get. The hospital is really great and it working with us plus with Addy we didn't have Maturnity coverage and they only covered anything when it turned into an emergency c-section. Atleast now we have decent insurance we're just having to fight with them over more information from the doctors. I don't mind though cause it was really easy to get the info I needed its harder to get it to the insurance people and get them to pay for things.

Well that pretty much sums up whats been going on for us. I'll have more to post here soon as we are so busy and We've done a few fun things lately, just too much to put in one post, Peace!

Time to catch up

It has been so long I can't even remember when my last post was, pretty sad. Since my last post Addy has been growing and developing like crazy. She's 8 months old now and is into everything. She wants to do everything you're doing, eating everything you eat, and drink whatever you're having. She's a ton of fun and is so cute when she gives you a big grin and shows you all her teeth, yes teeth, she has eight of them.

Here's our little happy girl showing us her grin and crawling skills. She started crawling about two weeks ago. Since then she has been all over the place. Trying to get into anything she can find. She has been climbing on us and standing on her own. She's so close to walking it's scary. We are finally getting around to "baby proofing" we put it off for far too long.



Addy has also had her first Easter. She got a big bunny and chair from Grandma and Grandpa West, and got her a basket of sand play toys so when summer comes she can have all sorts of fun playing outside in the sand and dirt.

She was right in the middle of telling us some sort of story. She talks a lot and is becoming quite the ham. Anytime she see a camera now she puts on a show. She's just so happy and fun, we love her so much. We don't have any statistics on her she has an appointment in less than a month.

Adeline's 1st Christmas

This year I had this gift help me open my presents. Addy had her 1st Christmas, and we had the best Christmas ever! Even though she had no idea what was happening, we sure had fun. She was spoiled, probably spent more than we should've but oh well your baby only had one 1st Christmas. 

We had breakfast at my parents house and then everyone came to our house to have dinner. Clint's parents, my parents, and grand parents came over to watch Addy eat wrapping paper and not care about what was in those carefully wrapped packages. She plays with her toys now but the day of she didn't care.

Clint and I got a "baby bullet" for Christmas from my parents. Our first go round with home made baby food was zuchinni, Addy was not a fan. If you coudln't tell. Since then I've made Apples, Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Avocados, and banana purees. Adeline likes them all, I haven't made her eat Zuchinni since the first time I felt bad after she kept gaggling and making faces. She does love her oatmeal and rice cereals too.
