Teeth, Bugs & More...

I apologize for the bright color of last posts. Had complaints. I am making it up to you with this ugly organge. :)
Anyhoo- Adriana got her second tooth (right next to her first one) on June 25th. She now prefers big people food over the "baby" stuff. I am making squash, apples and anything else that we have and stick it in the food processor. As long as we leave it a little lumpy so she can grab it. She eats way more if she can do it ' by herself'. How can someone so little have so much personality??
About a week ago i was in the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding Addie when who decided to join us was a 5 inch long centipede!! (sp?) I lost all rational thinking and sat there trying to figure out what to do. The only thing close to me was a rubber Croc so i threw it down on top of him then i saw him run under the bed. i had no idea if i got him or not. i stood on top of the bed w/ a nursing baby checking all corners to see if he was coming to get me. My fear couldn't handle nemore & i made a dieing leap for the bedroom door w/ baby. i called rick & he said he had just pulled up to the house. Thank God for hero husbands!! He took control - found the mama & squashed her. We thought we were done w/ centipede's until i found a tiny, baby one in the bathroom today. i tried to kill that one, but it was in a crevic & my shoe was too big & it ran under the toilet. Anything thinking it is safer under our toilet should die anyway. ha.ha.
tonight my goal is to find out how many babies come from a centipede at one time.
So, onto more fun news Adriana is increasing her back & stomach strength. Her length of time sitting up by herself and holding herself up is much better. She likes to sit on the couch w/ our company.
Fun tidbit-- Rick and I think it is hilarious when everyone is laughing, Adriana will pipe in w/ a "courtesy" laugh. Or if you fake laugh at her she will fake laugh back. She justs wants to be part of the fun.
We have our immunization shots tomorrow - we are officially 8 months old. We might not feel so hot. We will hear a lot of "moooooooooooom" waa-waa. That is the main time that she calls my name. She is really not happy and really needs me. The rest of the day it is all smiles and "da,da,da,da,da,da". Who said life was fair, right? just kidding. I love it all. It amazes me she can differentiate b/wn us already. She also can say "nigh-nigh" for night night and "nana" for banana and "buh-buh" for bye bye. She mimicks a lot of our sounds for a lot of words, but those are the most consistent. too much fun. Next post will probably be after the Hansen BBQ on July 11. Love & Hugs!!

7 mth check up

Hello Addie Lovers!! We had a blast in Florida. We went to the beach for the first time. Adriana slept on the beach, sat on my lap on the sand :) and took a dip in the ocean. She isn't too sure about moving water, but she didn't complain- she just hung on real tight to mommy.
Mimi and Biggie bought her a floatie for the pool- and that was awesome. She looked like she was Queen holding court in the water. too funny. She had a hard time wanting to take any naps in FL (too much fun w/ Auntie E & Uncle Matt) so we would swim in the pool to wear her out. It worked! Thank God.
Anyway, June 15 we went to see the Pediatrician. She is 7mths new now and weighed in at 15.5lbs- Rick & I both commented on how she was feeling heavier. She is also 26.5 inches long. They say she is avg. length, but still petite. I am happy that is still the case. hee.hee. I like the word "petite" for my baby doodlebug.
Other big news is that we got our first tooth on June 8!! We went to see the dentist and that was hilarious. THEY BRUSHED HER TOOTH! She loved it. This child has yet to not like anything about this world- still young i know, but she handles everything like its fun. I love that about her. We are also sitting up ALL BY OURSELVES. It lasts for about a minute and then she topples over and that is the best part to me. We laugh every time. Addie laughs too.
Ok folks that's all for now. Much love and many kisses. Hope to see some of you at the Hansen BBQ.
