Mother's Day, Turning 30 and Miscellaneous Cuteness

I had a wonderful weekend.  On Saturday I turned 30.  I think it was my best birthday so far.  My Mom came to visit for the weekend, and my Grandma stopped by for a little while too.  On my birthday Mama cooked a delicious lunch for us and had a beautiful and very tasty chocolate cake for me.  My wonderful husband took me out to dinner on Saturday night, just the two of us, for the first time in a long time.  On Sunday, we spent time together as a family, and Mama and I did a little shopping together.  I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family and this precious little girl for my first Mother's Day.  My husband bought me flowers for Mother's Day, from him and Addy of course.  He says it was her idea.  For my birthday he got me a new laptop to replace my 5-year old one that was on its last leg.  I am a lucky woman!

Puppy Dog

Addy's Grandpa (my Dad) sent her a stuffed beagle puppy.  This was her reaction when I took it out of the box and gave it to her.  She loves it!  We had two different beagles when I was growing up, both named Poochie.  What can I say, we are not very original with our pet names in my family and we like to reuse them!  Poochie II is 13 years old now and still living with my Dad.  I got Poochie when I was 17 and he was a very cute 5 week old puppy.  It was a lot like taking care of a baby actually. Except the potty training started immediately and I'm pretty sure he was weaned on the day I took him home.  I swaddled him so I could put him down in his little crate at night and he wouldn't cry.  Don't laugh, it works for puppies too!  So now Addy has a little pet substitute until she is old enough for the real thing :)  It was funny to watch her interact with her stuffed puppy.

When she started biting it, I was definitely glad we are waiting for the real thing until she is older!

She's 6 months old!

Adeline is 6 months old today.  I can hardly believe it's been that long.   Just last night she perfected sitting unsupported for a few minutes at a time.  Until yesterday, she could sit only long enough for me to snap one or two pictures and then she would topple over.  I love you sweet little girl!  Your mama is so proud to have such a precious and wonderful baby.

Here is a little video I took of her sitting last night...

Easter Baby

This is the first time Addy's really been outside for more than a few minutes since it got so warm.  She was so distracted by everything that was going on it was hard to get her attention.  Her cousins did a little easter egg hunt in our yard and we took pictures of the kids together.  Addy was fascinated by the brightly colored plastic eggs.  Precious!

Those are MY eggs!
