5 MONTHS OLD!

So Addie turned 5 months old last Wednesday! SO SAD!! I can't believe how fast she is growing up! She is doing so good. She got the rolling over stuff really good 4th of July weekend, and now she rolls from one side of the room to the other. She is so proud of herself! This past week she has been sitting up really well. She sits up for a couple of minutes before she falls over. And Friday she got up on all fours and I begged her not to crawl (ha ha)! I will be crazy chasing her around when she starts that, but I can see it coming soon. Hey, maybe I'll loose some weight chasing her around! Last Friday we took her downtown to the pier and the river, SHE LOVED IT! Must take after Uncle Cale, Loving the river and boats. She just watched the boats go up and down the river and laughed when they got close to us. She is such a cutie! Being a mom is the most rewarding job in the world! Graham had her at Walmart with him the other day and a lady stopped to look at her and the lady asked how old she was, Graham said almost 5 months, and the lady said, Oh so you are starting to get rewards for all that hard work! We never thought of it like that, but we are! Every time she smiles, laughs, or cries for us, those are all rewards for all out hard work taking care of her! Being a mommie is the hardest job I've ever had, but the most wonderful! I want 20 more kids! Of course we can't afford that but don't be surprised if we end up with 5 or so!

Happy 4th of July!

Today was Addie's first fourth of July! She was very excited, not really. Her uncle Sam thought that she needed to see some fireworks so he bought a few that didn't make noise and brought them over early. Sam is firework king, he always puts on a great show for us, it stinks we had to miss it this year! He devised a whole little show of pretty fireworks for Addie. Graham sat with her in his lap on the porch as Sam did the fireworks in the yard. Addie looked at them mesmerized. Every time it would go out she would look at Sam like "what else you got?" . We finally got another family picture while Nikki was here to take it. I have a big problem remembering when someone is around to get them to take a pic of all of us. Anyways, I hope everyone has a great holiday! We are going to sit on our porch and watch the ones down the road (Addie is in bed)!

My little thief!

On Thursday I was trying to keep Addie awake so she would take a good afternoon nap so we went to Walmart. After I looked around alittle she started getting fussy so we went over to the baby toy section. I got some toys keys opened them and gave them to her to play with. She was in heaven! I finished getting the things I needed, checked out and went to the car. As I was putting her in the car i realized SHE WAS STILL PLAYING WITH THE KEYS AND I DIDN'T PAY FOR THEM! I felt awful and ALMOST went back in to pay for them but they were only 96 cents and I figured Walmart owed me that. I told Addie that she shouldn't steal things and she just laughed! I guess we have a felon on our hands! Anyways here is a pic of Addie with her new favorite STOLEN toy!
