Because One Pacifier Is Never Enough

Whenever Addy sees an extra pacifier lying around(and she already has one in her mouth) she looks at it, at all angles, then spits out her current on and sticks the other in her mouth. Then she picks up the one she spit out, looks at it, spits our the current one and sticks the other in her mouth. And she does this over and over and over until Kahlua walks by or I get it and pull her attention elsewhere. My kid is too funny!


This is from today too, Jeff was getting Addy ready for her bath and thought he's be a funny daddy and leave her onesie around her noggin. I live in a house of goofballs.

Wordless Wednesday

31 is The New 10 Right?

Jeff is turning 31 this Saturday, and although he is spiraling into a pit of depression over the number, I find it the perfect time to find the inner youngin' and party like you did when you were a kid. So I've invited his friends over to make mini pizzas, play super mario bros, and eat cupcakes. Fun right? I'm thoroughly excited about Saturday night, he's feigning interest although I think deep down his inner 10 year old is bouncy with excitement!

Birthdays are important to me. Growing up my parents taught us that each birthday is important and a reminder that on that day God chose to give us life and continues to bless us with each year that passes. It's a time that everyone celebrates that you are alive and in their life. I hope to instill the same excitement about birthdays with Addy. I of course have started planning Addy's 1st birthday. People may think I'm crazy, but being from Hawaii, birthdays are a big deal. BIG. I would love to go with a traditional Hawaiian Luau, but have you seen the other adorable things they have for girls birthdays? I've considered doing a cupcake theme, a candyland theme, an Addy in ONE-derland theme. The possibilities are endless! I've tried to get Jeff to help me pick, but the ever pleasing husband that he is says it's up to me. Shooooot! No help there. I'll might just innie-minni-miny-mo it.

I'm decided to post yesterdays 365 picture, since it's so cute I want to show you before Sunday!

Cutest thing right? =)

8 MonthDay!

I figured I better get her 8 MonthDay posted before her 9 MonthDay in 10 days.

It's getting harder and harder to get good pictures of my mover and shaker. She is always on the go these days, crawling and pulling up on the furniture, she's starting cruising along the couch and coffee table too. She's thisclose to walking by herself. She can stand for longer and longer by herself. I consider her an unassisted stander at this point. She is on 3 meals of solids a day, and slowing transitioning to table food. And I do mean slooowly starting table food, so far the only table foods she's had are small pieces of banana and avocado and some organic baby puffs. I'm too terrified of her choking to try anything else yet. Although she is a pro at chewing, she still swallows an occasional chunk and gags and coughs. She refuses to try to say 'mama' or 'dada', but finds it hilarious when you say it over and over in hopes she'll repeat it. I think she can say it, she just doesn't want too. She is a mimicker, and will pound her hand on the table if you pound yours and will mimic your mouth movements when you make silly noises and try to make them herself, she just doesn't quite feel like talking yet I guess.

She's growing entirely too fast for my taste and in a few short months will be a walking talking one year old. And yes, I'm already planning the party! She has her 9 month well baby appt next week and we'll get to see how big she's gotten! This last picture is my favorite from her 8 Month shoot!

Side note: That blanket under Addy in the chair is my baby blanket. It's seen better days, but I'd like to sew it back up and use it for her and our other children.

Project 365

I've decided since I'm going to try and blog everyday I might as well participate in Project 365, which is taking a picture everyday for 365 days, one year. I mainly plan on taking pictures of Addy, because what a great day to document her daily cuteness and growth. I probably won't post a picture everyday, but will post the weeks pictures every Sunday. Here are Day 1-3. January 01-03.
