This lady inspires me

Wandering Waif Collection GIVEAWAY !!!!!!!
This give away is over with but I wanted to post a link anyways. I love this and I am going to attempt to make something similar. She has so many cute kids clothes and she make her own patterns. My early new years resolution is to be creative enough to make Addi cute clothes. If anyone wants to be creative with me can come over and try this clothes making thing with me. Deanna I maybe calling you as I know you know how to sew baby clothes.

How big is Addi?

SO BIG
Addi is getting so big too fast. She can sit up on her own for short spurts of time an she even start pushing up on her hands and knees this weekend. She loves to eat baby food and lately has been eating twice as much in one sitting then she use to.
Don't I look like such a big girl sitting up in my highchair.
"I can do it my self" Addi thinks she is such a big girl that she can wipe her own face off (she really just wants to chew on the washcloth like everything else she can get her hands on).
All Clean an ready for my bath
Addi is to tall to take a bath in the baby bath tub so she get to take a bath in the big bath tub where she can splash in the water.
All wrapped up cuddling with daddy.
We found a pacifier that she will take (sometimes) it is one that my brother sent her right after she was born but it was to big for her then.

To the Zoo again

Addi is not even 6 months old an she has already been to the zoo twice. There is a zoo about an hour away from us and it is free on Fridays in September so we went for play group. I think there was more babies then kids who really care about the zoo but playgroup is really all about the moms any way right?
Here are the babies in their strollers reay for the zoo. This wasn't even all the strollers. We had our own little stroller parade.
Addi looks really excited to be at the zoo. She just sat in her stroller with her foot up sucking on her stroller strap the whole time.
The monkeys were right up by the window for the kids to see.
Addi and mommy on the elephant.
This is vance riding the rhino.
We car pooled with Angela and Jack. Jack was not afraid of the goat. Is it bad to let him be so close just so we could get a picture?
On random facts of the day I learned that ostriches in the zoo can't mate unless people are watching making them exhibitionists. Lucky for us that today wasn't the day.
Here is Addi with all of her boyfriends. Most of the other babies close to her age are boys, so she has a lot to pick from. Notice how she is sitting up all by herself. She still falls over sometimes but we are getting there.
While I was taking this picture a goose came up an bit my toes.

I survived

I survived being a mother of 5 and it actually went by really fast. Here are some random other photo from our trip.
Addi loved Kylee and would always cuddle with her and not with mommy
My Great grandma Farrer turned 87 while I was there and we had a birthday party for her. She still is going strong and live on her own. In fact both my great grandmas do they are amazing.
Five Generations
Addi giving grandpa kisses. Addi learned to give kisses while we were gone. If you get to close to her she will grab you on either side of your face and give you a big wet open mouth kiss.
My cousin Ian got engaged and I didn't even know he was dating anyone. He still seem to young to be dating but I guess he is only 4 1/2 years younger than me.
While I was there Jared's step grandma passed away so I went to her burial (there always seems to be a funeral when I am in Utah)and I got to meet our nephew Kaison.
Addi got to meet jeesee bug
Addi found a new way to hold her bottle all by herself.

Soccor Mom

Today we spent all morning at the soccer fields. All 4 kids had soccer games today. Luckily 2 were at 9 and 2 were at 10:30 so we weren't there all day but I did get my exercise in running from field to field so I could watch all the kids. Today was Jake's first soccer game ever. It was so cute. A couple of times the kids kicked the ball in the wrong net.
