5 Months

Most of our five month pictures were in the last blog and took place in Tulsa, however here are a few. We started cereal the last week before she turned 6 months. It was very funny and she loves it now.

We started a sippy cup the same time we started the cereal. She took to it really well also and now loves drinking water out of her sippy.

This is her doll (whom she LOVES) that we have named "Dollie Jean" after my grandma.

Snuggling with Dollie Jean.

"Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away...." (Please ignore the boogies).

This huge laugh was the result of Daddy tickling Addie's face with Dollie Jean's hair.

Stiff as a board. I love me some Addie kisses.

Daddy and his girl.

She's a cool girl.

I have more pics that I will post soon. I'm working on gathering up those photos. I promise it won't take me as long to post this time. Thanks for visiting our blog!!!

Visit to Oklahoma!!!

Adalynn and I were able to come home again and it was very fun. We were able to surprise my great friend Brooke while she was at the hospital giving birth to her second son Cash Grayson. We got to see some family and have some good times. I love going back home to visit but I am starting to like Vancouver more cause when I'm gone, I miss it. We had a few "firsts" while in Tulsa... first time to swing and first time to the zoo!



Here is Addie with cousin Lindsey.



Cousin Hailey and Adalynny.

Check out those bunny slippers from Poppi. He bought them for her before she was even born!

Adalynn and Holland. Hugs!

They own the same dress so we made them twinkies this day.

We took this picture for Daddy and emailed it to him cause we missed him very much.

Brooke and Cash Grayson hours after he arrived.

Brooke, Cash and big brother Aidan!

Aidan is such a good big brother... to both Addie and Cash!

Seth, Brooke and Cash.

Addie and Cash taking a snooze together on the couch. She looks so big next to him! It's crazy to think she was that size just 5 months before.

Mommy and Addie... photo my Aidan Breck Smith :)

Addie's first time to swing. We took her to the park and tried the huge "cage" swing first...

Then we moved down to the baby swings and she was NOT sure about it at first. I couldn't tell if she was pooping or scared lol.

Still not too sure about it...

But then started smiling and laughing!!!

She loves the swings now and we go often! We live right by a park.

Addie's first trip to the zoo.

She paid attention very well and looked at the animals.

And then she pooped out in the buggy.

This picture is actually from when we were in Tulsa the month before but I forgot to post it last time. This is Adalynn with Kai and Kaden. They are Stacey's boys.

Long Time, No Type...

Wow. It has been way way too long since I last posted. There have been a couple reasons but the main two are that most of these pictures were all on my mom's laptop in Oklahoma and I didn't have access to them and the other is that our computer is not working and won't be for another week.
So much has changed and Adalynn is getting so big!
I will start with a few pictures from 3 Months and 4 Months.



Story time with Mommy.



Addie sucking her thumb after book time.

We make each other smile.

I love kissing those cheeks!

Adalynn putting on her lipstick with her lipstick rattle.

Playing her on playmat.

Addie playing with her musical garden that her G bought her.

Pretty girl.

Addie wearing Mama's shoes from when I was a little girl.

Always full of laughs.

Where's the baby?!

If you look closely, she had just spit up on her foot and then gave me that "oops" look. That is also about the same time she learned to sit up on my lap alone.

This was her first time in her Jumperoo exersaucer and she LOVED it. Her favorite part is the frog.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have such long beautiful hair!!!!" Adalynn with her dress on her head.

Awww so sad but oh so cute!

Kisses for her bunny!

Bath Time!!!

She loves bath time.

Naked baby, naked baby!

Kiss Kiss!

My beautiful baby girl who has changed my life forever!

Adalynn Rolled Over!!!!!!!!!!

I am probably way more excited than I should be about this, but I don't care! I'm proud of my baby girl! She's been working hard all week and finally did it. She rolled from her tummy to back, here are three step by step pictures...




Yay Adalynn!!!

Pics Since We've Been Home

Here are some random pics we've taken since we got back from Oklahoma. Enjoy!


Sitting in her bumbo seat like a big girl!


Beautiful girl.


Cute little feet.


Adalynn trying to roll over, practice makes perfect!


I set the book (Who Loves Baby?) down in front of Addie and opened it to the picture of my parents and then I walked into the other room to get something.

I could hear her talking and I wondered if she was talking to them, I walked back into the room and she was reaching for them! She did it for the longest time, moving her hand all around trying to get to them, it was so sweet.


Adalynn's friend Henry came over to play.


Addie must have had a secret to tell Henry... "Listen closely..."


They kept holding hands, so cute!



Tummy Time!


Yummmm spit bubbles!


Big girl holding herself up well on her belly!


"Mom, you're so funny!"


Smiles for the camera!


Look how big I'm getting!

Family Reunion in Seattle

When Addie and I flew into Seattle, coming back from Oklahoma, we met up with his family for a family get together. It was fun. I got to meet a lot of Duane's family who I had never met before and they all were meeting Adalynn for the first time.

Here is a couple group pics of his family...



This is Duane's Aunt Sue holding Adalynn.



This is Duane, Addie, Jeannie and Sarah. Sarah is just a few months older than Adalynn. Jeannie and Duane are cousins, so I think Sarah and Addie are second cousins?


Aunt Sue introducing Adalynn to Sarah...



Addie didnt see her Daddy for 3 weeks, she missed him so much!


And of course he missed her too.



Addie was getting sleepy out on the deck. It was so nice and cool out there.


This is a smile Adalynn was giving to her Daddy at our hotel in Seattle.


Duane took Addie and I to his all time favorite place to eat in Seattle... Skippers!


She was ready to leave Skippers.


We had a great time and I really enjoyed meeting Duane's family. I hope we can see them more often while we are living here in Vancouver, cause soon we will be too far away!

Our Trip Home to Oklahoma!

Adalynn and I took our first plane ride together to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was SO NERVOUS about the flight and how Addie would react, but she did amazingly well! She slept through both plane rides on the way to Tulsa and on the way back to Vancouver she was either asleep or awake and happy and talking very loudly! Adalynn got to meet all of our friends and family and it was so much fun. She also got to spend lots of time with her grandparents in Tulsa! Here are some pics of our trip:



I took this picture before we left Vancouver, she sat in her bouncy seat and "helped me pack".

Awww Addie missed her Daddy while we were gone :(


This is the fun pink car seat that G Mama got her for when she visits Tulsa.


"Are we there yet mom???"


Addie talking and laughing at her bird that she LOVES!


Poppi loves to put her to sleep on his chest.

Smiling at G Mama while they take a bath.


Addie in a fun bouncy seat we found on Tulsa Craigslist.


This is Austin, my nephew and Addie's cousin. He liked her a lot and she liked him too!

Then we headed to Oklahoma City and stayed there a few nights with our friends Brandon and Melissa Risenhoover. This is their daughter, Holland, she is 2.5 weeks older than Addie.

They happened to have the same onesie, so we made them wear them at the same time so we could get a matching picture :)


This is Brooke and her son Aidan loving on Addie.

Aidan is very special to me so it was really neat to see him interact with Addie. He LOVED her and she smiled so much at him and it was obvious she liked him too!


So cute, maybe one day they will get married HAHA!


Brooke holding Addie, on top of her baby bump!


Aidan aimed that at us and said, "Put your hands up or I'll shoot!"


We made our way to Dallas to visit family. Addie had her first swimming experience...


Addie lookin cool in her shades!


This is cousin Taylor holding Addie and doing a very good job!


He also got down and played with her on the floor.

Ethan was a good help and gave Addie a bottle while his brother Evan watched.


Hannah was able to put Addie to sleep! She's got the touch.


Emma holding Baby Addie.

This is Addie and Malia, Khari's daughter. Malia is 3 months older than Addie.


That concludes our visit. I dont have all my pictures with me, some are still on my mom's laptop and I need to get them from her, when I get more I will add more.
Addie has changed so much, she is growing so fast. She is 3 months old now! She "talks" and smiles non stop and is just amazing. We have a doctors appointment Monday, I will give an update after that.
