And She Speaks!

our little adeline turned 9 months on wednesday and she gave me a little present, she started saying "momma". today she decided to add "baby" to her vocabulary. we love our little talker. it is very sweet to hear her little voice call for me (even if she doesn't know that i'm momma) i just melt. i can't wait to hear all that she has to say!

Daddy's Little Singer!

i snuck up on austin and adeline having there little after work play time. they were enjoying some jams!

That Crazy Baby Cat!

ever since adeline met the little orphan cat, (we've named her baby cat) who lives in our front yard, she has been very curious. she lets out a small growl and reaches for baby cat every time she sees her. thankfully baby cat wants nothing to do with adeline, as illustrated in the photos below.

this is how it begins...

and this is how it quickly ends

Grami, Daddy, Duckie and Rachie

i have been so busy lately and haven't made time to update the blog so here is a little update on little addie's life

First Swim

our little swimmer was a little hesitant at first but soon

she was a splash-master!

Finger Foods!

on wednesday night miss karen came over and helped adeline learn to eat her treats all by herself! here she is practicing.

8 Months Today!

we grow to love little adeline more everyday.

she is learning so much.

she eats rice crispies with her tiny fingers

rolls all over the house

and steals our hearts with each tiny smile

Girl on the Go!

adeline has a new ponytail! we laugh everytime we see it!

A Near Impossible Task

i have been trying to get a good picture of adeline's new teeth.

it has been a tough task.

here are our best efforts...

i tried...
and tried...
and tried again...
hooray!

success. if you look really hard you can see two little teeth!

Last Week's Visit With Aunt Charity

sadly, adeline was sick with a fever and cough when her aunt charity came last weekend. at least they got in some good cuddle time!

Sitting Pretty

Tiny Tooth

adeline got her first tooth this week. she has been very sad and not feeling well. poor thing. she's getting so big, time is flying by...

strangely enough, the arrival of this little tooth has made me think about eternity more than usual. this life is but a vapor and i don't want to waste it on that which is insignificant or trivial. so, as i enjoy little adeline and all the new things that she is able to do and the arrival of each new tooth, i pray that i would be mindful of my life and how i spend each moment. that i would love my family, enjoy each blessing the Lord gives me and keep my eyes fixed on Christ.

Our Tiny Girl

this is austin's favorite picture of adeline lately. she's tiny in her big high chair!

Adeline's New Trick

adeline fits in my purse just perfectly, it's her best trick. she is much cuter than the little dogs that ride in purses. we like it.

Opening Day at Doger Stadium

adeline's first dodger game was today, opening day on their home turf. even with spf 30, re-applied three times, the little whitey got a tiny sunburn, a small price to pay for the fun that was had!

the game was sold out and we had to park really far away, above the think blue sign and over the hill from the stadium, this was the view of our fair city from the parking lot.

First Easter

with carrots on her face, adeline enjoyed the grass from her easter basket from her aunts. she's a lucky girl!

adeline had an exciting easter with her cousins... aunt stefanie...
