Not a Fan

As previously mentioned, we had decided to delay starting Addy on solids because of her tummy issues and such.  However, one evening I made some steamed carrots and we smashed a little bite just to see if she'd go for it.  The pictures speak for themselved as to what she thought about the whole table food thing.

I love this first photo. What a sweet girl!

First Bite!

Hmm...

Not thinking I like this...

Nope sure don't.

I think I'll take my thumb, thanks. :)

So, I think it's safe to say we'll be waiting a bit longer.  She wasn't quite sure what to do with the food.  I don't think it was just that she didn't like the food, but more she wasn't too keen on the process yet. That's ok, she can stay my milk baby a bit longer.

More Toes

This girl really is obsessed with the toes. It cracks us up every day and never gets old. We've found the best way to entertain her is just to remove her socks and let her go for it. The minute she is unswaddled in the morning, up come the toes. Her new goal is to see just how many she can fit in her mouth at once.

Vlog

I got a new phone that allows me to take videos so I've been taking full advantage and capturing some of my favorite Liam and Addy things. I love it because it's usually handy and I can just pop it up quickly to capture their cuteness. So here is a full-on video blog aka Vlog

First up, Miss Addy and her crazy chewing and talking. :) so cute. I think the teeth are coming in, so she's been chewing on everything.

Liam has been working really hard to memorize his articles of faith. We've been doing one for family home evening some weeks, and then when we learn about it, we tape it up on his wall. He reads them as he goes to sleep and has gotten pretty good.


Miss giggle monster at church:

And Dance Party at the Stephensons!

Spring? Could it be?

We've had some surprisingly nice weather the last week or so around here. I took the children out for a little walk to the park. They loved it!  It was nice to soak up some vitamin D and get some fresh air!  Adelyn also tried out the swing for the first time. Liam thought that was the coolest thing ever. Even though I couldn't get the little girl to crack a smile, she did enjoy her first little jaunt on the swing. 







Liam watches the weather forecast everyday hoping for sunny, warm weather.  Unfortunately, this week we'll be back in the 40's, but this little glimpse of spring let us know that it will be on its way. Hopefully, anyway. ;)

First Hair Cut

Addy's hair has gotten increasingly wild and out-of-control.  The weekend we were at my parents, my mom convinced me that it was time for a little trim. We finally convinced daddy and away we went.  The funny thing about Addy's hair is that her hair behind her ears was about an inch and a half longer than the rest of her hair. :)  So we trimmed about 1 1/2 inches off behind her ears. 
Before:


She wasn't too enthusiastic about the whole process, but we got it done.
During:




After:

So, it at least looks a little better around her ears. The rest is still pretty out-of-contol on a daily basis, but it's pretty adorable.  :) 

To try to control the wildness, I tried out biggies the other day.  Soooo adorable!!

Nice Weekend

Two weeks ago, we headed out to Yerington for a nice relaxing weekend of crafts and fun. I didn't take very many pictures, but we sure enjoyed ourselves. I love going 'home' and having my mom cook for me. ;)  No matter how old I get, I still enjoy having my mom take care of me. :D   I am sure I appreciate it more than ever now!

Liam enjoyed breakfast with Papa each morning.  Sunday he decided to read the comics. This kid cracks me up.  He thought they were all pretty hilarious.

We then made some adorable felt flower headbands. They were a lot of fun to make. We may have gone a little crazy, but we had fun and they turned out soooo cute.

The last thing we made was duct tape flower pens. These were so easy and fun!  Perfect for spring.


Thanks for such a great weekend, mom and dad!!

Buddies

Wherever Adelyn is, Liam is there also. They constantly giggle and laugh at each other. I love it!
