Well, Addie's second attempt at cereal went just about as well as the first one :) She looked cute, but managed to get most of it on her face, lap, bib, and the floor. John Michael and I had a blast with it though and took plenty of pictures!The past couple of weeks have been fun as Addie continues to practice rolling over. She scoots her legs like she's thinking about crawling, but [hopefully] she's still a ways off. We'll really see how challenging it is to multi-task once she's mobile! As it is now, we're already having a hard time studying (John Michael has his PE test at the end of October, and I'm trying to stay caught up with law school), cleaning (yeah, right!), and doing everything else we need to get done, because we'd much rather be playing with the baby!
We visited Pop (Addie's great-grandfather) for Gramma's birthday and got to play with Aunt Rosemarie and Uncle Bobby, too. We had a great time and it was so good to see them! We're looking forward to the holidays when we will have even more family time with everyone.On another note, Addie and Holland are really starting to notice each other and it is too cute! Those two are going to have so much fun playing together - and we will probably have even more fun watching them! We'll be sure to post pictures of them together soon...
The most wonderful time of the year is here! Football season! John Michael and I are making sure Addison loves football as much as we do - she has worn her Vols outfits each week and has looked adorable! The Vols are having a pretty good season so far - we clobbered Cal, 35-18; beat Air Force, 31-30; and barely, heartbreakingly lost to the Gators, 21-20. But we'll get 'em next year...right, Sonya? ;-)
We've also cheered on the Titans, although they haven't had such a good run so far...but it's still early!Addie is four months old now! She had her second round of shots last week and was a real trooper! The doctor was amazed at how big she is and at all that she can do! She made sure to show off all of her "tricks" :-) She now rolls over to her tummy ALL THE TIME. She's still not overly fond of being on her belly, so it's somewhat comical that she keeps rolling to it. She gets frustrated because she can't go anywhere - at least that's what it seems. She can "scoot" a little - more than likely by accident, but nonetheless, she moves! We are really in for it when she starts becoming mobile.. She's a fiesty one already! She has also begun to grab everything she can get her hands on. Very cute, but we're seeing how important baby proofing will be in the next week or two!
Addison also had her first cereal this week. It went better than we expected, as we don't think she is quite ready for it. Dr. Hood was right though - it was a big mess! We think we'll stick to just milk for a while longer :-)She continues to be a hit at "school" and all the teachers go on and on about how cute and happy she is (duh!). She is such a happy baby and we are very blessed by this!
