Mama Dee and Coffee

What a fun week we had! Mama Dee came to visit/babysit so I could go to a workshop. Addison had such a fun time...here are a few of the week's highlights!

Unfortunately, Addison was sick for a few days and not her usual jovial self. She was fussy and had a fever. So pitiful.




Bathtime!
Give me that camera.

Check out the cheeks on this girl.

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a naked baby before?



One of our favorite places in the house. It was pouring outside, and I guess it was so tiring looking out the window that Addie had to rest her head!


We love Mama Dee...she's crazy!


Addison has started feeding herself (just a little bit and not very effectively. But, she sure is trying. She especially loves her wagon wheel snacks, they are easy to handle and soooo yummy.


And here we are trying soooooo hard to drink some of that yummy stuff that mommy loves so much! check out these mad problem-solving skills...

This is how mommmy does it...

Why is this not working?

Maybe it comes out here.

so close, yet so far away! I can almost taste it!


And now for a diversion from my usual baby posts...
Kudos to my pruning job on the rose bushes. I think they liked it. Here they are in full bloom and smelling so yummy!


And here is the result of a naptime project (Addison's naptime, that is). This flower bed has come a long way since the grass filled non-existent bed when we moved in. Aren't my little dwarf nandinas cute!?


And here are the little friends that Addie loved to chase around the house this week. She giggled more this week than ever!
Sweet little Dixie, my parents 35th wedding anniversary present from my sister and me!


Dixie and Lucy playing...all the time!


coming soon....9 month pictures from our friend Lindsey Cotton. We took them this morning, and I think we got some good ones!
