Busy Weekend!

Friday night we ran to Jalapeno's for supper... it was quite an experience!  Addy was not happy sitting in her carseat (this is fairly new for her) and one of us held her the whole time but she is hard to hold because she wants to grab the chips and salsa or rake her hand through the refried beans or hit her head on the table as she is trying to wiggle her way out of your arms!  We ate in shifts and Courtney and Addy eventually walked outside while I finished eating and paid for our supper!  When we got home, we took a walk to work off some of those chips and salsa (and cheese dip!) 

On Saturday, Courtney headed out to Shelton State for Relay for Life… the O2 ministries team had a cooking crew that stayed out there all day and cooked up some yummy barbecue! Addy & I rode with Mom & Dad and headed to Gadsden to celebrate Granddaddy’s 86th birthday. Lynne & Bob were in Gadsden for a visit so we got to see them too. We had a delicious lunch and German chocolate cake (a tradition for Granddaddy’s birthday)! It looks like everyone is glistening in the pictures because it was about 80 degrees in the house – everyone except Grandmother & Granddaddy was a little warm!

After lunch, we stopped by to see Grannie for a couple of hours. She hadn’t seen Addy since Christmas and wanted to show her off to some of her friends!

Sunday afternoon, everyone took a nap at our house because we were worn out from Saturday! Sunday night, we celebrated Pop’s 58th birthday with dinner at Cypress Inn which was delicious! Addy sat in the big girl highchair for the first time at a restaurant and ate puffs while we had dinner… she did really well and seemed to enjoy sitting at the table with everyone (much better experience than Jalapeno’s on Friday!) After dinner, we went to Mia & Pop’s for presents and cake. Addy liked Pop’s golf ball grabber thingy as you can see in the picture! And she gave Pop a (slobbery) kiss on the cheek before we left since it was his birthday!

 
 

 
New this week… Addy is getting better at moving around. She is all over the place when you set her in the floor to play and stays on her blanket for all of about 5 seconds. She army crawls and scoots to whatever she wants to play with (usually a non-toy like my shoes or one of our cell phones). I think she is understanding bye-bye because sometimes she kind of puts her hand up like she is going to wave bye-bye. And it definitely seems like she understands when you tell her to give someone a kiss because she leans toward their face with her mouth open! She is continuing to babble more and more and has mastered the “gah” sound along with da da, la la, and ba ba.  The game of dropping toys on the floor so we can pick them up still has not gotten old and she will drop a toy and then look down at it until you hand it back to her.  She loves to try to play with either of our cell phones and the TV remote!  She has stopped putting things in her mouth quite as much (thank goodness!)


We are having pictures made today and I can’t wait to see how they turn out (6 month pictures, about 4 weeks too late – so I guess that makes them 7 month pictures?) .
