Alright, so it's not a pink Cadillac, but it's close enough for her! She really enjoyed riding around in this little car. I can't wait to get her in it again just to see how much she has grown. I mean, her feet are already touching the 'floorboards'! Look at her face when Nana Sharon beeps the horn too - she is so happy!

Father's Day Part 2
Yesterday was Brian's first Father's Day. He was very sweet and got up early with Adelle and let me sleep in - this was NOT my intention! Once everyone was up, we played for a bit, ate, played on the Wii with Auntie Maria, then went to Nonna and Papi's house for dinner.
Adelle has been fussier than usual lately, and we aren't sure why. We sometimes think she's teething, but I have thought she has been doing that for ages now, so I don't know what is going on. I do know that she has her fingers in her mouth all of the time, she drools like mad, and has been fussy for the past few days. There is no sign of teeth anywhere! UGH!
Anyway, while we were there Adelle had her first experience with diet Coke! I think she likes it! She was also able to sit with Papi on his chair. She has been sitting for longer periods of time now!! YAY! We got home about 7:30 and Addie got to sleep around 8:15. A little later than normal, but not too bad!
I hope it was a good Father's Day because that is what Brian deserves!

Father's Day Part 1
To celebrate Father's Day with both families, we decided to celebrate with Nana and Papa on Saturday! We had lots of fun while we were there and Adelle got to ride in the pink car! She was so happy!! Here are some pictures:

Sitting So Nicely!
I brought home a couple of chairs from school the other day for Adelle. Someone was going to get rid of them (aka toss them) and I thought they were the best size for Addie. Well, she could grow into them anyway.
Brian and I decided to put her in one of the chairs and take her picture because, lets be honest, she's just so freaking adorable!! It was the first day she was able to sit for a few seconds on her own. I hope this is a precursor to her actually being able to sit up without props!!! HOW EXCITING!?!

Peas
Tonight we gave Addie peas for the first time. Auntie Angie was here so she fed them to her!! It was hilarious! Addie would lean into them and then once they were in her mouth, she made some sour puss faces. She ate everything in the little bowl we had for her, so that is good, but she continued to make the faces. I even got a little video of it!!
She really likes eating "solids"! So far she's tried: rice cereal, prunes, apples, applesauce, peaches, sweet potatoes and peas. The only thing she doesn't like is the cereal. We're going to mix it with the prunes to see if that helps, but I'm not concerned about it. This is a picture of Addie eating the sweet potatoes - isn't it fitting that she had on her "i love auntie" bib in honor of Maria? Though I think Maria might like brown sugar a little more than sweet potatoes! :)
Another thing she really likes to do is pick things up and put them in her mouth! She JUST started doing this when we were at dinner with Bruce and Sharon. I am not even kidding, she wasn't interested in toys or picking them up during the day, then we met them at 5pm and something had clicked! She was picking up her toy, putting it in her mouth and biting down!! While I was at Target today, I help up about 10 toys in front of her (to see if she liked any of them) and she didn't do anything. Right when I was about to call it a day, I picked one last toy up and she got all excited, reached for it, then immediately put it in her mouth! She didn't put it down until we got home!!
I went to Target today to get her a little baby pool. It has been pretty warm here and we've wanted one for a while, but I finally got it today. It's not big enough for us to sit in, but we can sit close enough to the sides that it's close enough. It's a little blow-up pool but we had her in it for almost an hour. She was sitting, standing, even laying in it!! She doesn't like to get her ears wet though. I don't have pictures of the event because, since she can't sit yet, I didn't want to risk her slipping while I was taking a picture :(
When Addie wakes up in the morning, I let her talk for a while. I can either sleep - really lightly - through it, or I wake up and take a shower before I go in and get her. It's really sweet to hear! She just talks and talks and sometimes hits her aquarium and then talks to it while the little fish 'swim' by. Then, when I am ready to get her, or I notice she is starting to whine because she's hungry, I peek inside the doorway. I get her attention and she smiles and smiles, sometimes giggles until I go pick her up. I love our mornings together!

Our Anniversary
Today we celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it has been three years already! It seems like yesterday were were winking at each other through the tangled web of electronics. We were very happy with it being the two of us, but Adelle has enriched our lives in so many ways!
We truly are blessed!
