Addi's check up

Warning: Extreme Addilyn cuteness ahead

You can tell from the photos that Addilyn has discovered her feet. She has for a while, but it's about time I document her extreme cuteness. Other things she has discovered: she can reach, her lips, her ears, and she can grab my glasses... She sucks her lips in so it looks like she has no teeth (oh wait...) and then she pops them out. She sings all the time (nothing new) and to add to it we've decided she might be a beat boxer. Addi will make tooting noises with her mouth, it could be a future career- beat boxing that is.

No, we did not buy it...

So Addi had her 4 month appointment, which was really at 4 1/2 months old. At her appointment she weighed in at 13lbs 10oz and 25 3/4in long. That puts her in the 33rd percentile for her weight and 85th for her height. She's long and lean! I talked to her Dr about feeding Addilyn solids, and she said that if she's starting to act interested we don't have to jump on it right away. I told her she's been interested for a loooong time. So that night Scott really wanted to give her something, but we don't have any food or utensils for her yet. Scott mushed up 3 peas on his plate and fed her with his fork. I warned him that he shouldn't...but he really wanted to. She definitely enjoyed it!

We got the wrath later. It was evident in her 4 or 5 poopy diapers later that Scott should be patient for the rice cereal first. He got a little too excited. But she's definitely ready, and I'm not! I forgot to post this video on this, I finally got it from Scott's phone:

Addi keeps her legs up. She always, always, always is doing this. She's got rock hard abs needless to say.

life as we know it

Left: me Right: Addilyn

So there's this BBQ place...every Wednesday you can get a full rack of ribs, plus 3 sides for $14. YUM. Maybe the full rack was too much for us. We'll probably go with half next time, which is $9 with the 3 sides still. It was delish. These photos were just while we were waiting to eat.

Addilyn likes to keep her legs straight out! It's her thing. I love those toes.

I have a couple of videos that I am dying to post...but they are on Scott's phone. SO, when he gets back from Virginia (side note, he just left for work, will be back Thursday) I will get them. And we just finished painting our bedroom last night at about 1 am. I'm so excited!! We got a beautiful new duvet and a new shower curtain which goes perfectly with our newly painted bathroom as well! I'm in love with what we've done so far. I can't wait to get going on everything else in our house so that I can love spending time in each room. Another update, we got a new COUCH! Since we've lived here we either sit on a hard kitchen chair, the floor, or on our bed upstairs. It was a steal off of Craigslist. We are already breaking it in. The first night we both slept on it (long story). It's basically like a twin bed. I don't have the entire picture of the couch because of technical challenges, but here are some details of it:

It's so nice seeing everything come together in our house. Since the night we bought it we've unhinged the entire house and gradually putting it back together. Our goal is to have it all painted, mostly all furnished (the important things), and mostly all decorated by Thanksgiving week. That is after all our own deadline and when we plan for the Busby's and the Western's to all join us for smoked turkey :)

cutest.baby.ever.

Just because she is...

Winston-Salem Airshow

This past weekend was the 100th anniversary of the W-S airshow. Since it was at the airport right next to Scott's work, he got us hooked up with cheap tickets and VIP parking. It was a beautiful day. When we first got in, I got really excited because of the cars that they had. Here is your classic Model A. It's for sale if anyone is interested...needs a new paint job.

My favorite one there, the 1935 Chrysler.

This was the very beginning when they had para-shooters come out of these two planes. One was carrying the American flag and the other was carrying the POW flag. It was too cool.

There were lots of neat planes. They did all sorts of tricks. There was one who had a lady walking on the wings and doing tricks on it. The funny thing was- it was her ex husband flying the plane! We even saw a bomber and a stealth bomber. But most importantly, we saw history. It was Honda's first public appearance with their newest Honda jet engine plane. It was a sweet ride. They had a lot of static planes on display (Scott has those pictures on his phone). He was like a little kid in a candy shop.

Addilyn's first encounter with grass.

I mostly hung out with Addilyn watching all the planes while Scott went with a couple of guys to check out the planes...you know...manly things :) It was great though watching the crowd and the planes.

Addilyn snoozing.

It was about 80 some-odd degrees outside and I made Addi some shade with my nursing cover, her stroller, and Scott's chair. She snoozed, played, and cried when an airplane scared her. (don't worry, that wasn't very often)
