First sippy cup

The sippy cup has a nipple or can switch to sippy lid once she gets the hang of it!
All the water she can handle, or spill, whichever...I'll post some videos soon...

Sweet Summertime

Well our summer is off to a great start! We have been to the beach and swimming with friends. AdaReece also had her 6 month check-up, on Friday she got FOUR shots, AND a finger prick to test her iron!! She was tough but it was pitiful. At her 9 month check up she will only get one shot, thank goodness. I asked about splitting them up if it would be too hard on her system and the pediatrician said no, whatever I was comfortable with...I went with just getting it all over with, rather than being exposed to the dr. office again in a month, and she has another GI appt next month...anyways...She was 16.1 pounds and 26 inches and her pediatrician said she could start trying baby foods. We are going to the Chattanooga Market tomorrow to pick out a few veggies to steam and puree! We also gave her a taste of water from a transitional sippy cup today. She is just getting so big, I have a feeling she will be saying her first real word soon, she is babbling all day long. I am enamored with her... She smiles and squeals and has quite a personality, she's getting chunkier, and her rosy cheeks are so squeezable....
A couple more pics from our trip to Gulf Shores: Trey is 3 months old and while he is a big boy(bigger than her) AR is twice his age, this is just the beginning of her showing the boys who is boss :)

Then here are some from her pool playdate:

Lily is only 2 but she takes after her mom and is the hostess with the mostsess!! Lily was so sweet to AdaReece and played with her and tried to entertain her the whole time. Such a sweetie!!!

Looking forward to a bright summer!!

Living the high life.

If I had a penny for every person that stopped to comment on Little Miss Priss I'd be a gozillianaire. She has really stolen the hearts of men and women old and young. And she had me and her daddy whooped a lonnnnnnnng time ago. Here are se photos of the vacay so far. We have had the best time here in Gulf Shores.




































Sweet baby girl is living the life!

AdaReece is 6 months old!

Well, I cannot believe my little teeny baby girl is already 6 months old! She is definitely gaining weight and getting so strong. At 6 months she is going to bed around 7pm. we try to do bath, bottle, bed routine. She goes down easy and she will wake up between 1-3am have 6 ounce bottle and back to sleep until about 6-7am. She HATES naps. LOATHES them. On rare occasion she will take a 1-2 hour nap. usually they are about 30-45 mins. She does great riding in the car seat. does not even mind getting strapped in. she stays awake for part of the ride but also will sleep. She LOVES attention. She loves going out in public. She is so cute and smiley everybody talks to her and she EATS IT UP. She is a big ol' ham bone. We have graduated from the swing and now she is bouncing in her bouncy seat like a kangaroo. SHE. LOVES. BOUNCING on her little tiny toes. She also likes her walker. She can go backwards on the hardwood but not forward on purpose. She is sitting up so good but will tumble over a lot. Once she gets on her belly she does this funny thing where she pushes her arms back behind her and kicks her legs, like superman or a penguin swimming. Hilarious. She's starting to gibber jabber a lot and scream/squeals. She can reach for and grab her toys and swings them around, she loves the crinkly sounding ones. She doesn't have any teeth yet and doesn't seem to be teething. We are starting to give her cereal, she smacks on it and will smile and it comes back out a little. She is just growing up too fast and cracks us up everyday.

Here are some pics:
