Crawling Along :-)

She's always a blur of motion right now!

Eating rocks and flowers in the garden. Delicious!Yes, Addie is officially mobile. Look out, world. Videos below!

This is a quick post, and that's really the big news. Posting about once a week or a week and a half is the rate of posting that I'm happy with right now. It gives me enough time to record the "memorable moments" in Addie's life without feeling like a burden. Normally I'd like to write more, but I'm in a hurry today, so without further ado...

We went to our first Twins game last weekend. Well, it was mine and Addie's first game. It was a beautiful day, but very very long...about 11 Am to 10:oo PM in all. Addie was such a trooper. She eventually fell asleep in Tim's arms after literally hours of being awake and wonderful.

Before the game, waiting for the light rail.


The view from our seats.



The guy who was kind enough to take this said "Oh, what a nice picture!" ....not sure what he was seeing. LOL. My eyes are closed, Tim hasn't quite gotten a smile out yet, and Addie looks like someone just told her the world's supply of breast milk was endangered. But it's an obligatory family photo from the event.

Little sleeper. Love that tiny little fist and those cheeks.

Adelaide is a very busy baby right about now, with lots of corners to explore and things on the carpet to taste. It's an adventure. She's pleased as punch with her newfound ability to move herself around and she's making up for all those looong months of dependency. There is a lot of rolling, bouncing, cruisin', n crawlin' to do.

Some other quick favorite things of hers:

Mac and cheese
White peaches ( a girl after Mommy's own heart)
Anything sweet (ditto above)
Kung Fu Panda (the movie)
Mamma Mia (the movie...no I'm not kidding, I wish I was...she likes the singing)
Her Kermy Bear

And in grown up life, I made a chilled melon soup and salad nicoise that were so pretty that I just had to take a picture.


And dinner out with friends. Delicious Mexican on the deck.




The multimedia portion

The first attempt to capture crawling on video...let's say it didn't quite work out. The second attempt was much more successful.



Standing up in her crib is a new pastime that is fun for the WHOLE family. Or not. As soon as she wakes up now, she is eager to try standing. At ALL hours of the day and night. Problem is, she can't figure out how to sit down yet so she gets upset and is "stuck".
