A Day on the Water

We took the boat out in Crystal River on Sunday. Granny and Pa went with us. At first, Adison didn't mind her life jacket, but she eventually grew tired of it. We finally gave in and let her ride for a little bit without it. She enjoyed the water at Shell Island. It was too cold for the grown-ups, but she didn't seem to notice. She was so worn out from the day that she took a 2 hour nap when we got home. It was a really nice day. I'm looking forward to many boat rides in the future now that I know Adison can handle them...

Bikini Babe

Adison played in her little pool for the first time this week. She had a great time. She kept trying to drink the water. Once she figured out she could crawl out, the "in and out" game started. Daddy even gave in and let her wear her bikini...

Family Fun Day

We went to the Lake Ridge Winery in Clermont on Saturday for their annual Family Fun Day. We met Uncle Jamie, Aunt Jenny, Shanon, & Mikey. It was a really fun day. There were craft booths set up selling everything from hand knitted dish towel holders to orchids. There was also a tour and a wine tasting. The best part was the band. Everything was outside, so we spent most of the day in the grass watching Adison "dance". She had a great time watching everyone and playing with the other kids. It was beautiful weather for an outdoor event. It was nice getting togther with everyone. I wish we could find time in all of our busy lives to do it a little more often!

Rope Swing Fun

Adison's new favorite thing to do with Daddy is play on the rope swing in our back yard. They play every afternoon when Daddy gets home from work. She really does get a good grip on it. I swear, that girl isn't afraid of anything!! She likes it when Lance pushes her high. He holds onto to her, of course, but she thinks she is doing it by herself. I'm afraid we may have a little dare devil on our hands.

Big Girl Bath

Adison took her first big-girl bath last night. I was a little nervous that the size of the tub and all of the water would be a little too overwhelming for her. Boy, was I wrong!! She loved it! She discovered pretty quickly that she could make BIG splashes in the big tub. She would splash and then laugh really loud. It was really fun to watch!

Look Out...She's Mobile!

Adison started crawling last Sunday. She didn't really understand what she was doing at first, but she knew she liked the applause she was getting from mommy and daddy. (We may have gone a little overboard as the cheering section.) After just a couple of days, she had really gotten the hang of it. I still think she looks funny crawling around. She is so small, but she gets her little arms and legs going a mile a minute. It's already clear that the dog food will have to find a new home for a while. Besides that, she hasn't gone after too much. I'm sure that will all change in no time. I really can't believe our little lady is getting around on her own. Where did the time go??

(Check back for a video clip. I'm still trying to figure that out.)

That's Not Very Lady-Like!

Adison discovered that she had a tongue today. The pictures speak for themselves!
