An interview with Addie

Quite excited that I was able to capture so much in one video!!!! Laughing, clapping, talking, dancing!

Starting to Walk!

This week I took Addie outside and we practiced our walking skills with her little Hippo walker. I have never seen her soooo proud of herself! She was beaming from ear to ear. It was the first day that she was able to cruise around the inside and outdoors on foot!

Fun Pictures!

During our trip to Baltimore - we stopped at Fort McHenry. We sat Addie down in the grass and tried to teach her how to blow those whispy dandelions. She tried so hard - but her favorite part was trying to eat it!

Baltimore Trip

BJ had a conference in Washington, DC - so Addie and I met him in Baltimore for a nice little weekend getaway. We had such a great time! We stayed in Fells Point and enjoyed all the restaurants, shops, and pubs that the area had to offer. We felt like we were back in the South Side of Pittsburgh - except for the harbor! We dined on seafood all weekend - particularly the must-haves for the area: mussels and crabcakes! Everything was heavenly and Addie enjoyed a new palate as well. We visited the National Aquarium and Addie loved the big glass displays of sealife because she could hold on to the bottom ledge and "walk" sideways down the exhibit. Her language EXPLODED on this trip and she was pointing and commenting on everything she saw. It was a fabulous aquarium and BJ and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was nice to catch up with some members from my side of the family - Charles, Gloria, and Dan Dolan met us a the Rusty Scupper for lunch at the harbor. It was nice to catch up and have them meet Addie. Some other highlights of the trip were Babe Ruth's birthplace, Fort McHenry, and all the food we consumed :) (Slideshow of the trip will be posted on the right side)

Ready for baseball season!

Although she has no clue about the sport of baseball yet - or her daddy's true love for the St. Louis Cardinals - she wears her red proudly and looks pretty darn cute in a Pujols t-shirt!

Pool time!

Addie had her first pool experience. It was a warmer day and I decided to get her inflatable pool out of the box. I was quite proud of myself for figuring out the inflation option on our Wet/Dry Vac! I just put a little bit of water in the pool so Addie could splash around and play with her bath toys. She had a TON of fun! I thought she would since she loves her bathtime so much!
