We went to the beach!

At the Beach!

In the pool.
In her tent.
Playing pool.
Swimming with Daddy.

We took Adrienne to the beach for the first time. She loved everything, but was a little unsure of the ocean. I think it was because of the constant movement. She loved the pool even though it was a little on the cold side. She was a real trooper. Especially during the long drive and with sleeping in a strange place. While we were at the beach, her first tooth broke through. She also practiced her walking quite a bit. She was getting really good.

Safely in Mommy's arms.
Building the best sand castle ever. : )

More videos...

Here is a video of Adrienne speed crawling to get the Easter Eggs. She just wouldn't clap for me.

This is a video of Adrienne "walking" with her car. This is one of the ways that she likes to get around. She also grabs onto anything she can to pull herself up and get around. She is something. We can't leave her alone for a minute or there will inevitably be a crash.

She also likes to go into her room and play with her toys. It is amazing to watch her entertain herself. It is also quite a relief. Now we can actually get things done while she plays because she doesn't need us to entertain her. It is such a great age! I just love it!

Playing in her room.

Trouble maker

Getting into trouble in the kitchen.

Watch closely. You will see Adrienne dance to the music coming out of her car.

She loves to dance. If there is music playing, she will most likely start dancing to it.

She has recently started clapping, giving kisses, waving, and climbing the stairs. Can you say trouble maker?

Meet my new niece!

Cadence Faith Schaeffer arrived on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 5:09am. She weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 inches long. Big girl!

On Sunday, Adrienne and I went to visit Matt, Retta, and Cady. Adrienne was not quite sure about another baby. We wanted to get a picture of just the two girls, but Cady wasn't very happy and Adrienne wanted to be near her mommy. This is as good as we could get.
Check out the girls coordinating outfits.

Attacking Cady in her swing.

We have plenty of matching and coordinating outfits for the girls so we will try again to get pictures of them. Keep an eye out.

10 months already!

So I haven't posted in a while. I kept meaning to, but I just didn't quite get to it.

Adrienne turned 10 months old yesterday. She has officially been out of the womb longer than she was in it now. I can't believe it. It truly seems like I was just pregnant. They really do mean it when they say time flies.

Classic Adrienne!

Playing with the Easter Eggs that Mommy doesn't dare put away.

Napping. Love the leg up!

This was my Mother's Day gift from Jeremy and Adrienne.

It says Happy Mother's Day

Love,

Adrienne

This is the picture on the vase.

Is Jeremy thoughtful or what? I just loved it. It was a perfect first Mother's Day.

Adrienne now is starting to let go of things when she is standing. She will be walking shortly. Now if only she would get some teeth. Her bottom teeth are very close, but not there yet. I am going to post some more pictures and videos in a few more posts tonight. Enjoy!
