A Video for dad

Wayne is away again this week, so here is another video for him to hear his girl giggle.

Trouble!

She was supposed to be sleeping. She has now figured out how to sit up and kind of pull herself up on the side of the crib. The mobile is no longer up! Of course, it probably would have been better if we had gone in there and been stern and put her back to bed, but it was so cute, we had to turn the lights on and film it!

Crawling

She's finally crawling! She first did it on Fathers Day, but just a bit. Then, a few days later while we were at camp, she just started to move around the room! I was so excited! Now I'm a little nervous now because we really have to baby proof the apartment. She's doing even better this weekend. She can get pretty much anywhere!

Cousins

This was from the last day that I babysat Elias. They are getting so that they love to sit and watch each other. We'll miss Elias when we're at camp this summer!

California!

Well, Addie added another state to her travels this week. We just returned from a trip to California. She did great again on the plane, even though she was cutting two new teeth on the way back. We had a good time relaxing at my uncle Gene's house one day, and she loved meeting new people at camp and having lots of attention. Here are a few pictures from our fun weekend!


We stopped at Culvers one night on the way to the airport. The guy there said his son loved chewing on ice cream cones (without the ice cream) and so gave one to her. She loved it!



Here she is in her sporty Nike outfit that grandma Van Dine bought her.


This is just hanging out in the hotel room one night. I thought it was cute. She really loves pulling herself up on things now, like my legs if I'm sitting next to her. Still not crawling yet though!


Here are some other funny pictures. She sleeps in the craziest positions now, and she's always moving around! If you check on her an hour after you put her to bed, she'll be turned around all the way at the other end of the bed!
Here she is just chilling with her feet up.


This was funny. We were in the hotel and in the morning, this is how we found her.

Summer Fun!

Addie and Elias really enjoy playing with each other now. When he arrived this morning, she started smiling and squealing at him! He giggles at her too. Here is one of them wrestling with grandpa before he left for Ireland.


Addie had a fun day at camp this week too. We went to Living Waters this week with the summer recruiters to do some team building stuff. We put Addie in the backpack and hauled her all over that day. This is a picture of the group after we did some low ropes courses. On one of them, we were walking on a wire over a mud pit. Well, Addie was sleeping in the backpack so our guide from the camp said she would hold her so Wayne and I could both do the course. Well, I happen to fall in the mud up to my knees, and I could not budge my right foot. Addie wakes up in front of me, it's past her lunch time, and I'm stuck in the mud! Thankfully, she didn't start fussing till I got out (it took me at least 5 minutes to get my feet out). We all had a good time that day and were all worn out by the time we got home. We're looking foward to a summer of camp!

Peek-a-boo 2

This time instead of playing "where's Addie?" we played "where's mommy?" She loved it! Earlier in the day, she was really laughing, but I couldn't film it and do it at the same time, so we had to wait until daddy got home to help.
