More pics from today

Adelyn and I are in Austin for the weekend, visiting my parents. Derek is in East Texas right now (more on that later) so he unfortunately missed Addy's first Halloween. No big deal though, we didn't do much, just dressed her up in her little costume for a while and took a few pictures. Next year will be lots of fun, we'll actually go out trick-or-treating! :)

When we were getting the Halloween candy ready for the trick-or-treaters, Addy grabbed one of the Twix chocolate bars and started chewing on the wrapper. I guess she's taking after Grandma Lo - love that chocolate! Hee hee.

Hangin' with Momma

I'm such a big girl, I love to stand.

I like being a ladybug!
(PS. Momma is holding me from behind. I can't sit up by myself just yet.)

I'm just soooo cute.
Can't wait for next year!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the cutest lady bug around :)





Thanks, Auntie Mikaela, for taking the pictures!

Adelyn is 5 months old...::stares in disbelief::


Pic from this weekend in Austin:

She got tired during dinner and decided to have a nap. Sitting up. In the high chair :)

I promise, I will update with a real post soon. Promise!

Love

Short post, just a few pics. I need to update soon...

Peanut loves her daddy. Soooo much!

I'm a happy sweetums.

I love holding Daddy's head while he gives my tummy kisses!

Check out my hair! The left side is always a bit crazy...

An apple a day...

Today, Adelyn was watching me eat slices of apple when she decided that she wanted to try one too! She kept reaching for a slice, so I finally held one out to her. She proceeded to grab it in her teeny tiny hands, put it in her mouth, and then she munched munched munched on it for a loooong time. She was having a ball! I'm not sure if it was because it felt good on her gums, or if she liked the fact that she tasted little bits of juice, but all in all she had a grand time! She still doesn't like rice cereal, but maybe I can look for "apple-flavored" cereal... hmmm.

How quickly our little one grows!!!

PS. Like the new blog background?

Morning Bed Head

Everyone knows that Adelyn has a lot of hair.

Heck, she was born with a lot of hair!

Anyway, every morning she wakes up and her shiny locks are in disarray after a long night of sleep. My sister Mikaela suggested we take pictures of her "bed head" because it is never the same from one day to the next. Heeding her advice, we took a few shots of Adelyn's "bed head" this morning!

Good morning! Check out my cute sleeper with bear feet!

Derek calls this "The Einstein".
My hair has body!
I like the tousled look, don't you?

Video of her big roll!

This is it! Adelyn's big roll!

10/08/09 - Helping herself roll over by pulling on the blanket. (4 mos, 1 wk)


10/08/09 - Roll over, take 2. She's pretty proud of herself (0:35 sec)!! ( 4 mos, 1 wk)


10/09/09 - She's getting quick! (4 mos, 2 wks)


Now that she can roll, she has been practicing a lot. She even sleeps on her side in her crib (she started doing that the past week or so). This morning, I placed her on her back on the living room floor and went into the kitchen. When I looked over the counter at her, she was laying on her tummy, just staring around. It's very impressive! :)

Video

9/27/09 - Adelyn got tired of trying to roll over and gave up... (4 mos)


9/28/09 - Eating her toes, yummm yumm! (4 mos)



Unfortunately, the only video that I can post from our trip to East Texas when we visited Derek's grandparents is the one blow. Our video editing software didn't recognize the other files for some reason, so I can't shrink them down small enough to post on the blog :( We had nice ones of the pumpkin patch and Adelyn being a "tweety bird" (giving happy shrieks and squeals)... I'll see if I can solve the problem, but no guarantees.

10/05/09 - Baby's got dancing feet! Visiting Adelyn's Great Grandparents in East Texas (4 mos, 1 wk)


10/08/09 - Playing with a ball of paper. That's a cheap toy! (4 mos, 1 wk)


And a few pics to round out the post...

Concentrating verrrry hard on the paper.

Thanks for the fun toy Daddy!

You caught me playing with my bib.

Bundled up, ready for a walk with my friend Mortimer the Moose!

I like walks!

I'm starting to sit up in my stroller.

Me and Momma!

Wow!

Baby girl rolled over from back to front today!!!!!! TWICE! BIG STEP! It was amazing :)

Trip to East Texas

Prepare for an inundation of photos! We went to visit Derek's grandparents in East Texas this past weekend and they got to spent lots of time with their great granddaughter. I think they like her! :)

We took Adelyn to her first pumpkin patch while we were there! A local church had a fall festival going on and they had many, many pumpkins for sale, so we stopped by and took a ton of pictures. We even bought a small pumpkin and a green gourd. Can't wait for Addy's first Halloween... she has a little costume, but it's a surprise until Oct 31st!!!! You'll love it, I just know.

I was playing, and then I rolled over and fell asleep.

"How about this one, Adelyn?"
"Well, let me check it out Momma."
"Yep, this one looks good!"
"Okay Daddy, we like this one!"
"Hmmm, what about this pumpkin??"
"This is pretty good too, Daddy"
