Scooter

Addie is SO close to crawling...SO close! We knew she's been getting closer and closer, but today is the first official day she's scooted herself around chasing after something like this. She really wanted that water bottle, and we're just mean enough to keep moving it further and further away!

What Do I Do All Day?

I feel like I'm busy all day. I feel like I don't sit down just to sit all day. But, what do I do all day? I have NO idea! I thought I would have all of this spare time, since I'm staying home. I don't.

Thursday, I decided to track what I did ALL day. I had to know...and I thought it would be a fun blog post. Without further ado, here's what I do, ALL DAY!

6:50 a.m. - Hit the snooze

7:10 a.m. - Get up

7:15 a.m. - Wash pumping supplies

7:20 a.m. - Pump

8:00 a.m. - Load and start dishwasher, put in a load of laundry

8:05 a.m. - Addie's awake! (this is the BEST part of my day!) Get her out of her crib and feed her.

8:20 a.m. - Change diaper, get Addie dressed for the day

8:30 a.m. - Make and eat breakfast

8:45 a.m. - Shower while Addie plays on the floor

9:00 a.m. - Put Addie on the bed with toys while I get dressed

9:05 a.m. - Get dressed, brush teeth (this fascinates my daughter!), play with Addie, switch laundry

9:15 a.m. - Play with Addie while calling/talking to my Grandma and folding laundry, then put on make up while talking to Addie in the mirror, brush my hair (Addie loves watching me brush my hair - we have to run the brush through her hair a couple times too), blow dry my hair (this was a GOOD day!)

9:45 a.m. - Read stories (our favorites are On The Night You Were Born, Calico, and anything she can touch/feel)

10 a.m. - Pump

10:25 a.m. - Switch laundry, change diaper, feed Addie

10:50 a.m. - Put Addie down for a nap, check email, waste too much time looking at Pinterest and Facebook

11 a.m. - Work on my project

11:25 a.m. - Switch laundry, make and eat lunch

11:45 - Addie's awake! Fold laundry while playing peekaboo on the bed

12:15 p.m. - Change diaper, get ready to pump...oops, Addie does NOT want to play on the floor...move pumping stuff to the bed, put Addie on the bed and settle in

12:20 p.m. - Pump, play keep away with Addie and my pumping stuff (she likes to pull on the pump while it's attached!), sing songs, make funny noises to keep Addie from crying, listen to Addie cry while I finish pumping because I won't let her play with the pump while it's attached (I'm SO mean!)

12:35 p.m. - Feed Addie, play

1:25 p.m. - Put away laundry, read book, play, work on project while Addie plays on the floor

4:30 p.m. - Make dinner

5:15 p.m. - Eat dinner, Wil leaves for school, feed baby

6:00 p.m. - Pump, change clothes and put on tennis shoes for Zumba

6:40 p.m. - Find out Zumba is canceled for tonight, my shoes are already on, decide to go for a walk instead

7:20 p.m. - Home from walk, feed Addie, change diaper, put lotion and jammies on Addie

8:20 p.m. - Wil's home from school

8:30 p.m. - Feed baby, give her to Wil to put to bed, review Wilton teaching information that arrived today

9:40 p.m. - Bedtime! (I'm pretty sure I couldn't sleep, so I got up and did some other stuff...but I didn't write down what I did)

The Way We Sleep, Part Three

Wil put Adelyn down for a nap while I made lunch today. They'd been quiet a while. I went to check on them, and found them like this.

Wil was sound asleep and Adelyn was wide awake! She got a big, mischievous smile when she saw me walk in...she knew she was supposed to be asleep!

My First Sale

I sold my first order of custom cookies today! I put an ad on Craigslist and a lady contacted me several weeks ago about making two dozen corset shaped cookies for a bachelorette party.

Here are the finished cookies!

Once they were dry, I wrapped them individually and put them in a super cute/professional looking box!

I learned a lot from my first paying client. Most importantly, I don't think I charged enough. I will definitely be charging more for cookies in the future! I think I ended up only making about $2 - $3 an hour, after I paid for the supplies!

Green Beans!

We got the green light at Adelyn's checkup Wednesday to start baby food. Today we steamed and pureed green beans for her very first culinary adventure (you know, besides rice cereal).

Why does Daddy have the camera...wait, what is this stuff, mommy?

Is this really what you guys eat? I'm not sure about this!!!

Okay, I've decided...get it out of my mouth!!!

Her reaction was hysterical. She actually didn't mind them too much, except for the gagging reflex they seemed to trigger! But, she did keep eating them, so they must not have been TOO bad!

A Very Merry Un-Birthday To You

Adelyn turned SIX months old Wednesday! It's hard to believe it's been six months already! It seems like just yesterday we were finishing her room, heading to the hospital and bringing her home!

This is Adelyn fresh out of the shower on her six month birthday (Sorry about the fuzziness, it's a cell phone pic. Also, please ignore the pile of laundry she's laying on).

A few things about Adelyn at six months:

• She weighs 14 pounds, 9 1/2 ounces, that's the 20th percentile.
• She's 26.6 inches long, that's the 80th percentile.
• She wants to be fed almost immediately when she wakes up (I have to change her diaper after she eats or she throws a fit).
• She usually sleeps for close to 12 hours straight at night.
• She's almost always happy!
• She likes to laugh!
• She giggles when you pretend to tickle her.
• She giggles even harder when you shake your head and say hi.
• She's SO funny! She makes me laugh all the time!
• She LOVES her daddy!
• She can sit all by herself.
• She is always reaching for something.
• She's very observant and loves to people watch.
• We think she's getting close to crawling (I was worried she was going to start crawling when we were in Utah and Wil wouldn't be there to see it - luckily, she held off).
• She still doesn't have any teeth.
• If you're not careful, she'll steal food off of your plate at dinner.
• She "talks" and "squeals" all the time.
• She hates going in her car seat.
• She LOVES flying like an airplane.

Happy Baptism Karina

Our niece Karina was baptized last Saturday! She looked beautiful in her dress!

Waldo, Wil, Karina, Guero, Guillermo

I made her a cake for her baptism...this might be my favorite one I've made so far!
