Peanut Butter and Diapers

Thanks Rebecca for the yummy idea and recipe for those peanut butter balls with chocolate! They turned out so good. Well, they might not look too good but they taste great! I tried to give Addie a bunch to play with like play dough and she was not into playing with it...she just wanted to eat it! Maybe it's because she was in her high chair and that's what she is used to doing when she sits there? I don't know, but she didn't play with it at all. It went straight to her mouth! Yumm...

We are still using our cloth diaper service and I bought her some really cute diaper wraps awhile ago and have been waiting patiently for it to be warm enough for her to crawl around the house in just her diaper so I can see her cute printed behind. Well, it really isn't very warm here, but probably won't get any warmer so the other day I got some pictures of her in her flower wrap.

A little behind

I feel like I started this blog at the perfect time because Addie is at such a fun age and we have taken so many cute pictures of her lately. So I am trying to catch up on posting them.

Lately Addie loves to "help" me with the laundry. By "help" I mean she pulls the wet clothes out of the dryer as soon as I put them in. This particular load was mostly her clothes and of course she found one of her blankets and pulled it out to play with it. She loves her blankets!

She does the sign for 'sleepy' when she is tired and loves to put the blankets on her face.

It's kind of hard to see but she is pulling out one of her other blankets that she found.

One more for tonight...

I have too many cute pictures of her and not enough time to post them all! Daniel just said that I am limited to only 1 post a day from now on and he is limiting my time on here. So 1 post a day...starting tomorrow. :) The other day we were waiting for Addie's Aunt Marika and her cousins to get here so we could go swimming. I started getting her ready and she was being so cranky! So I laid her down to see if she would fall asleep. I went in to check on her a little bit later and this is how I found her ...

Her new thing is to sleep on her tummy with her favorite blanket underneath her. As long as she is still breathing, I think it's adorable.

Beautiful Day for an airshow...

Saturday we went down to McChord Air Force Base for the air expo. The weather was perfect! It was not too hot and the sky cleared up so there was hardly a cloud in sight by the time the Thunderbirds performed. We got there alittle bit late so we missed some of the aerial stuff but we go to see some neat planes on the ground. We met up with Daniel's brother Ben and his family and our friends Katy and Clay and their son. Addie was not so impressed with all of the noise. Actually she screamed everytime the fighter plane flew by. I guess we need to spend some more time at the airport! :)

We sat Addie in one of the big military planes (I couldn't tell you what it's called). Yea, that's an ear plug in her ear that she wouldn't keep in!

This is one of the engines from the same plane.

This is the best picture we got of the F-22 Raptor. It was much cooler in person.

Addie really wanted to go to sleep, but as you can imagine it was a bit too noisy.

Samantha Weeks, #5. She is the first ever female lead solo pilot for the Thunderbirds. I managed to fight the crowd and get her autograph. I tried to take a picture of the two of us myself but the silly camera didn't take it! So this is her signing someone else's book...

Daddy and Addie with the monster truck.

Can you imagine me flying one of these?! I would have to sit on like 5 cushions to see where we were going!

Too many choices...

So I think I could change the look of my blog everyday if I had the time (and the energy)! I changed it the other day then decided I didn't like it so I made this one. It's not the best, but will do for now. Addie is getting some new teeth so she is not sleeping well, but of course we are up until 11pm anyway! It might be a long night...

Addie's first year

We made this slide show for her birthday with some pictures from her first year. We decided to make one to kind of go along with the one Daniel made of her actual 'birth day'. It took me FOREVER to figure out how to get it on here because the original was in a weird format, so anyway, see how she's grown. Turn your volume on, the song is cute!

4th of July

Addie and her cousin Isaac.

It's rare to get a picture with all 3 of us init.

Any day now our lives will be changed when she learns to walk on her own!

She hates the grass! She refuses to touch it with her hands, legs or feet.

She's happy as long as she has something to eat. :)

This time last year we had a little, 1 month old baby girl. I was still staying up until 2 in the morning holding her because every time I put her down she would wake up and scream. Oh, good times. Addie's first fourth of July was not so great. I guess you can't expect a 3 week old baby to be gone all day and then enjoy noisy fireworks going off. I'm pretty sure we spent most of the evening inside my brother and sister in laws house watching everyone through the window. This year was better. She still got cranky toward the end because it was past bed time, but I think she enjoyed the noise. :)
