Pig Face

I had to do a quick post about "Pig Face". When I was a baby I used to do this thing called pig face. I would pucker out my lips and scrunch my nose. Well, a couple of months ago I was playing with Adi on the floor and all of sudden she stared doing pig face. I though to myself well, this is definitely my kid! She's doing pig face with no persuasion at all! I caught a great picture of her yesterday doing pig face. She does it quite a bit now, and when she does it Bran and I give her a great big kiss on those adorable little lips of hers. The picture of me isn't the greatest of me doing pig face, but you get the idea!

Haubstadt - A golf cart community



Yes, we are the proud new owners of a flashy red golf cart. Haubstadt is officially a golf cart community. It is so great to see everyone riding around in their shiny new golf carts. We paid a 25 dollar fee and we can ride this puppy all around town. Now that it is warming up Adi and I will be out on the town visiting neighbors and making our runs to the local hardware store and grocery store.
I couldn't be happier for this simple little life we have here. They still carry your groceries out to your car; with no expectation of a tip. People still wave hello and ask how your family is doing. It really is the life - I've turned into such a small town girl. I thank God everyday for our "Modern Day Mayberry"!

Getting big too fast!

A lot has happened this week that honestly makes me a little sad. Adi has started crawling this week and her first tooth has popped through. It's just too much for one week. I really can't believe how fast this is all going. I know everyone says they grow up much too fast, but it is really true!

Below is a link of her crawling. She is getting faster by the hour ... guess we should think about baby proofing our house soon!!

These pictures below show Adi's shared love of good dental hygiene already. She watches me brush my teeth in the morning with my Sonicare toothbrush and just loves it when I put it on her gums while it is on. That's my girl, although, I'm afraid her first toothbrush is going to need to be an electric.



Some other cute pics of her...

Grandma Visits!!!

Brandon has been in Japan for the last week so my mother-in-law, Marilyn, came out to stay with Adi and myself. It was really nice having her here all week. I was able to spend time doing a lot of things that I really don't have time to do when it is just the two of us during the day. I really appreciate you coming to hang out with us - THANKS Grandma!!!!!




Adi's 8 Months

While Marilyn was here we had Adi's 8 month appointment. She is doing great. She gained 12 oz and is still in the 5th percentile, so my doctor was pleased with her progress. She is just going to be a little thing. She is doing so well. She sooooo close to crawling. She was doing a little army crawling this evening. She is getting her first tooth on the bottom and LOVES the teething biscuits. Her sleep has been so so. When these teeth come in I am going to work on weaning her from her night feeding. There still hasn't been any progress with the sippy cup, but I am convinced that she "knows" how to do it and is just waiting until she wants to. Our baby girl is getting so big :(




Green Thumb - ???

I've been meaning to do a post on my garden progress, but it has been crazy around here. Below are a few pictures of my pots (more of my beds and seeds soon). I have been pretty pleased with how many have germinated. There is definitely an art to getting those little seeds to grow, but I am learning.

JM was GREAT!

Bran and I were able to go to the John Mayer concert last night before he flew off to Japan this morning. I think Bran was a little skeptical about going to the concert, but he was really good. He is an amazing guitarist. Yes, there were a lot of screaming girls, but overall it was a pretty good mix. I would definitely see him again ... thanks for such a great time babe we miss you already!

Pick a cup any cup...

Ok, I'm looking for some advice here. Sweet little Adi does not seem to want to use a sippy cup. I just keep buying more and more cups and I fill them all up everyday in the hopes that one of these days she will decide to use one of them. She really needs to be taking in water now that she is eating solid foods three times a day. Causing some problems in the potty department if you know what I mean. So, Bran and I have found the only way she will really take water in is if we use a straw fill it up with our finger on the end and feed her like a little bird. This child is wonderfully cute, but she is a little stinker. If anyone has any more suggestions please feel free to leave a comment!!!

Gatlinburg, TN

We spent a wonderful 4 day weekend in Gatlinburg, TN. Brandon has really been wanting to do more trips now that Adi has gotten a little easier. It was a great birthday gift; thanks babe!!! We went with three other couples from my bible study. It was so nice getting to know these women even better. I feel so blessed to have met them.
I get worried about how Adi will do when we do things like this, but she did EXCELLENT. I guess it just says that she really is becoming a big girl. :( I just can't believe she will be 8 months in two weeks. The smoky mountains were just beautiful and so was our cabin, so enjoy the pictures below.
