On The Move

Addie has been trying so hard to crawl. She is getting so close....
Let the baby proofing begin.

Bear Crawl or Push up?

Okay, I am on my knees now, but how do I go forward?

Last week we started real food. So far I have made sweet potatoes and bananas. She seems to be a little more eager to eat the bananas, but she isn't overly enthusiastic when she eats anything she just gets the job done.

First time in a big girl high chair.

My Mom, Addie, and I left Friday morning and headed to Kentucky to see Brent, Cathy, Kayla, and Zoe. Addie had so much fun playing with her cousins! She loved to watch Kayla's every move.

Addie 5 months and Zoe 2 months

Saturday we took the girls to the Cincinnati Zoo. I am so amazed at how much a few weeks make. When we were in Oregon Addie didn't show much interest in the animals at the petting zoo, but in Cincinnati she loved petting the animals.

The girls were getting a little tired at this point

Playing with her purple monkey that she picked out in the gift shop.

5 Months Old

My baby girl turned 5 months old today. She is now sitting up for short periods of time and is continuously rolling around the living room. Her sleeping habits have changed a lot in the last month. She will now sleep anywhere during nap time and will even put herself to sleep. Night time sleeping has also been improving this past week and I am hoping it will continue!

Back in Illinois

Last Friday, our 9th day of vacation, we drove down to California. Neither one of us had been there before and Barry said we had to go since we were so close. While we were there we went and checked out the big red wood trees everyone was talking about. What can I say other than, those are some big trees. We drove from California back to my Aunt and Uncles house in Roseburg for one last night in Oregon before we headed to the airport.

Be careful what you wish for.....

Barry kept saying all week how he wanted to go to Vegas and Saturday his wish came true. Apparently back in May when I went online to change our flights from 10:20am to 1:30pm mine got changed, but Barry's did not. We did not catch the mistake until we were getting on the plane and they wouldn't let him on. He ended up taking a flight an hour later that had a 2 hour lay over in Vegas. I was so worried that he was going to be soooo mad at me, but he wasn't. He said he kind of wanted to take that flight anyways. I am just lucky he had to work on Sunday or he probably would have stayed in Vegas.

Vacation Day 8

On our last full day at the rental house we went fishing and played at the beach. There were 7 of us that went fishing and we all caught our limit of 7 bottom fish (black Bass) each. We actually caught more than 7 each, but some we had to throw back either because of the type or the size. Barry stayed back with Addie since he gets sea sick and is not quite the fisherman that I am.

Me and my fish. I was the first to reach
my limit, so I got to help a few people out.

Vacation Day 6 & 7

On Vacation Day #6 we went to the Sand Dunes, Miniature golfing, and out to eat.

since I was scared 4 years ago when I went on the tour.

On Vacation Day #7 we went crabbing again, walked through Down Town Bandon and went for an evening walk on the beach.

We caught crabs!

On day 5 of our vacation we went crabbing with my uncle Tom. We caught 17 keepers and cooked them up for dinner. Yum Yum!!!
