Ice Storm 2009

Yes, that is right an ice storm.  These pictures really do not do the ice justice.  These were taken this morning and we are supposed to get a half an inch to an inch of ice more by tomorrow morning.  Just pray we don't lose our electricity.  Other than that, Gabe and I are enjoying the day off.  Addie Kate loves having both of her parents home to play with all day!!

Elmo Chair....

Addie Kate loves her Elmo chair.  She is even able to touch the floor now.  She has started putting everything in her mouth, including poor Cookie Monster. She is such a happy baby and loves to smile!!! 

We started Addie Kate on rice cereal this week.  She is still not quite sure about it.  This may be because Gabe is always trying to sneak her "goodies" by letting her try things like whipped cream and banana pudding.  I am thinking this may be an issue we have.  She is sitting up so well in her bumbo seat and loves it.  She has also started rolling over this week.  It is funny how these little milestones are such big deals as parents.  Everything she does impresses us and we swear she is advanced for her age.  I know we are biased and every parent thinks this, but its fun to do anyways.  We are always looking at each other saying, "Did you see that?", "Did you hear that?" She is a very chatty baby, which can get uncomfortable in public.  She has started this new thing where she squeals all the time and loves to hear herself do it.  We both know no one else gets excited about her doing this, except for kids in the youth group who all want to hear her do it over and over again.  We love her and often wonder what we did with all of our free time before she was here.  

December...

I know it has been forever since I updated, life has been very hectic the last few weeks.  Usually life slows down a little after the holidays but for us it seems to have only gotten busier. These are a few pictures taken over the holiday.  Addie Kate is changing every day.
