Toothless

This semi toothless grin, is about to get whiter...
Yesterday (March 29) Ady cut 2 teeth.

On March 6th Ady cut her first tooth, her bottom left one.
And then on March 20th she cut her second tooth, her top right one.

So for a couple weeks she has had one top tooth and one bottom tooth.
Yesterday the bottom right one and the top left one broke through.

Ady was sick all last week, and I think she had a cold, but I am sure that trying to cut 2 teeth on top of that didn't help. She was a fussy baby last week. She has been so much happier this week and I am so glad she is feeling better!

Lately

A couple weekends ago, we decided to paint our bathroom! It was definitely fun trying to keep the girls out of the paint. Annika just wanted to paint too! Ady just wanted to be where everyone else was... Well I ended up taking the girls downstairs and Brian did most of the painting. I like how it ended up.

Ady is getting bigger and older. She turned 10 months old last week. (It is totally crazy that she is 10 months old!) She is such a fun girl, and wants to be right where everyone else is. She wants to see what is going on. She is into everything! The other day I found her looking in the cupboard. I thought it was pretty cute.

She has also figured out how to blow bubbles in the tub! I get scared that she is going to inhale a whole bunch of water, but she does a really good job, and loves the tub! (There is a video below but I can't figure out how to move it up here.)

She cut her first tooth the day before she turned 10 months old. She is really good and gumming her food, and loves to eat whatever we are eating.

She is such a climber, we have a little table that she got for Christmas to stand up next to and play on, but I guess that isn't fun enough anymore, because she just likes to climb up on top of it and then climb down.


She has figured out how to go down the stairs. She just follows the rest of us around all day long. And she loves to be outside, and eat anything that she can put in her mouth. Whenever the door opens it cranks it into super fast gear, and she books it to the door.

This is the girls cuddling in our bed.

She loves Annika and always wants to be playing right where Annika is. Today we went on a walk to look at all the animals around the neighborhood, and she loved having Annika in the stroller next to her. She had her hand on Annika's lap most of the time. (Super cute!)

And after our walk today, apparently she loves animals. We saw some cows, and some goats, and some lambs, and cute little baby lambs. And a cat and some dogs, and a horse. She made noises and pointed at all of them, and kept trying to let the goat nibble her fingers!

And Jordan and Alli went on a road trip for their spring break. On their way home they spent the night at our house, and hung out with me and the girls the next day. We went shopping, out to lunch, and to cabela's. The fish tunnel is always lots of fun!


Annika is getting older and older. She has been getting in trouble alot lately for not listening to me. The other day I told her not to go down to the neighbors, she looked at me, and then took off. I guess she is just testing the limits. But she is also really cute! She makes me laugh alot, and she has her moments of pure sweetness. Today her and a friend were playing and she said to her friend "did you know that baby horses are also called colds?" (instead of colts!) She loves being outside riding her scooter or bike, and her favorite saying lately is "I need a friend to play with" She is a fun girl!

Ady speaks

I believe that Ady said her first word today. And Although Brian and have I have both been practicing with her, to say our name, I guess my practice paid off first! :) She is so cute, I don't really care whose name she said first. (but I am glad she said mama!)

Presidents Day

On Friday Brian took off work, and we got to go snowboarding with his family. Brian's parents gave us tickets for Christmas, and a day of babysitting, so the girls played with Grandma and Brian and I headed up to the slopes. I was so nervous to go. #1 I had never left Ady for that long. #2 I have not been snowboarding since Annika was 3 months old. (So 3 years ago!) Crazy. I was sure that I would go to get off the lift and make everyone else crash. We got up there, and it was windy and cold, but it was such a fun day. Eric, Dominique, and Gavin came too so there was a big group of us. It was so much fun! I want to go again soon. Thank you Karen and Gavin it was a wonderful gift!



On Saturday afternoon we packed up and headed to Logan. We spent the night at my parents house and hung out with the family.
On Sunday we went to Church with my parents. After Sacrament meeting I went to take Annika to Sunbeams, and she would have nothing to do with it. I thought she loves sunbeams at home, she will just see the other kids and love it. But she wouldn't even get off my lap. That evening Jordan had his Court of Honor. Annika had already sat still for way to long so she was really noisy. I swear we were the only ones there with kids. Oh well either way it was great! Way to go Jord!


Ady enjoying a huge cookie.

On Monday, we woke up and Brian, Austin, Mike and I went over to the church and played basketball. When we got home my mom had made a delicious breakfast. After breakfast, Annika and my mom went out to build a snowman.


We all ended up going out and getting in a snowball fight. It felt so nice to be outside, and feel the sunshine. The snowmen ended looked great! It was such a fun weekend!

9 Months

Seriously where does time go? Ady is 9 months old! I don't know where the last year went but it went quick. It seems like Ady has always been here, but when I think about things we were doing last year at this time, I keep thinking about my huge belly!

Ady is such a sweet baby. Brian just said this morning, she is so mello. She is just a content baby. I think she is so content to just watch the rest of us in all of our craziness. She gets so excited when she does something new, finds something new, or does something that she thinks makes her more like us. She crawls all over the house, and our stairs are set up in a way that it is hard to but a gate up. So she crawls over to the top of the stairs and looks down, and when I look at her and say no-no she stops and looks at me and smiles. Her favorite place to stand is right in the kitchen at the top of the stairs. It just makes me so scared. We have had a couple little tumbles, (knock on wood) but nothing from the top to the bottom yet. She loves to stand up to anything that she can. She pulls all of the magnets off of the fridge. She walks all along the furniture, and moves from one object to another. She is a curious little girl, and loves getting into everything she can.

Things I love.... I love when she looks at me, and scrunches up her nose, and smiles her toothless grin and breathes in and out really loudly and fast. (I am going to have to record it.)
I love her big blue eyes!
I love her slobbery kisses.
I love her baby talk, and her squeals.
I love that she finds comfort in my hair. (she likes to pull it, suck on it, and bury her face in it.)
I love when she has a toy and holds it up for me to see.
I love that she wakes up happy, she just stands in her crib and talks, and waits for me to come get her.
I love her chubby cheeks.
Her little hands and feet,
her pokey outey ears,
and her long eye lashes.
Pretty much I just love her so much!
I am so glad that she is my baby.

We went to the dr. today and here are her stats.
She weighs 18.28 lbs 36 %
She is 28 inches long 62 %

Valentines Day

It seems like Valentines Day has been a week long event! It is fine with me though, I love nothing more than spending time with those I love. On Friday night Brian and I got to go out on a DATE! we went to the movie True Grit. Probably not the most romantic movie out right now, but it was good, and I was with Brian. So it was great! BJ and Neisha kept the girls for us, and on the way home from BJ and Neisha's the girls fell asleep, and we stopped and got some take out, and came home and enjoyed a meal just the two of us!
On Saturday night we watched BJ and Neisha's girls so that they could go out. we decorated some valentines cupcakes and had fun. After they left, the girls were worn out, and fell asleep, so Brian and I got to enjoy dinner for a second night in a row just the two of us!
On Sunday we went to church and then headed up to South Jordan for a family dinner. Dominique and Eric got engaged on Wednesday (Congratulations!) so we got to hear about the engagement and all the fun wedding plans so far! Karen made us a wonderful meal, and Heidi and Jeremy brought delicious dessert!

On Monday, it was a normal day. But I was trying to do some special things. We had pink heart pancakes for breakfast. Later on in the day Annika got to share some valentines with her friends, and we made some chocolate covered strawberries. mmmmmm. Around lunch time we went out to the mail box and my mom had mailed the girls some goodies. They loved them. Ady was sucking on the plastic before I opened it, trying to get her treats out!

Brian came home, and totally surprised and spoiled me with a new piece of Jewelry. :) I love it! Then we got to enjoy our steak and potato dinner! It was a wonderful Valentines Day!
