Addie's first swim!

We took Adalynn for her first swim today! It actually did not start out great at all. She definitely was not loving the cooler water. We even had a little floatie ring for her, but she refused to sit in it. About an hour later we had given up hope. As a last effort, I waded into the shallow end of the pool with her and sat down on the steps. Turns out, the girl just wanted room to play on her own! She ended up having a blast and we had a blast with her. Now be prepared for an absolute overload of pictures! =] 






 At this moment in time, Addie was more concerned with the wet grass on the sidewalk than actually playing in the pool.





We finally got her to splash around a little bit.


Then it was back to the sidewalk



Isn't she just gorgeous?!




Finally done for the day and just waiting for daddy to come down the slide.

Swimming isn't all we've been up to. We've been obsessed with the Olympics lately! Adalynn and daddy watched some beach volleyball, and Addie actually sat and watched the whole thing! Looks like she's taking after her momma!

Updates

As of today, Adalynn is now a standing champion! She can stand completely on her own. I think she's going to be taking those first steps any day now, which honestly makes me sad... I don't want my little princess to grow up! She's also developed quite the strong-willed personality. She's the cutest little diva ever, who always wants things her way. She's so strong and brave, and fears absolutely nothing, we constantly have to watch her to make sure she doesn't decide to dive off the couch. I love her little diva personality and I wouldn't have her any other way!

Life lately...

Adalynn is just moving around everywhere these days.

All smiles!

She refuses to lie down for her photo shoot.

Addie likes to entertain herself by telling gibberish stories.

She's crawling all the way now, no more scooching around

Happy Father's Day grandpa!

Best dad in the galaxy!



Went on a picnic in the park




Addie's Star Trek shirt from her Uncle Freddy


Addie and grandma match!

I'm such a bad blogger

I seriously forget to blog for like 2 weeks, then I have way too many photos and have to pick just my favorites... Oh well! Time for picture overload!

Addie has been rocking her winter wear lately, I'm getting the most use out of it as I can since summer is soon approaching!

Addie was playing on her bedroom floor and I walked out for 2 seconds, when I came back she had somehow rolled under her crib!


 Addie had her 2nd Jr. Miss experience the other weekend! She did not enjoy it very much at all, but at least we looked cute!
  

I just love baby clothes! Her little overalls are the cutest!

Adalynn is doing this inch worm type of move.. she's not quite crawling, but she pulls her knees up and then launches off her toes skooching forward.




So baby food is not for us. Adalynn HATES it. She won't touch rice cereal no matter what consistency or temperature I try. All other prepared baby foods I have tried have so far have been hated just as much. So... We're doing the real thing.

Feeding herself does not prove to be the easiest (or the cleanest) but baby-led weaning seems to be the thing for us!

Addie loves her bananas!

Wearing some of her cute Spring clothes.


This is what Adalynn's hair looks like after waking up from a nap and pulling out her ponytail.


I love my baby girl! She is the absolute cutest thing in the world!!!! And so much fun too! Life has definitely changed over here at the Hand house, but it's absolutely for the better!
