Well, we tagged along with Brendon (on a work trip) to Paris and Addi and I had a good time seeing the city, minus the weather. We went to the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, the basilica at Montmartre, and hiked a good deal of the rest of the city. We successfully navigated the metro, even helping some people from Oklahoma find their way back to their hotel. We also got to have dinner with our friend Nate, whom we haven't seen in a few years- texmex, yummy :) It was a whirlwind trip and we've decided never to go on a work trip with Daddy because he works works from 7 am to 10 pm and is a bit snippy, not fun. Addi and I got to see lots though, so it was well worth it!

Happy six month birthday to Adelaide!!!

Hard to believe she's already this old. Seems like just yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant and then waiting forever for her to arrive.

At six months, she's already the rolling and scooting queen. She's very fond of bananas, apples, baby toast, baby veggies (potato,carrot,pea & cauliflower mix), regular crusty bread, melon and ice cream. Really, whatever adults are eating is what she'd like to have, especially if she can feed it to herself. Still doesn't much like bottles though. She's expecting her first tooth or three any day now, can sit without help for a bit and has mastered baby pushups, can hold it when you put her on hands and knees (hasn't figured out how to scoot forward yet without going to her head though) and can stand holding onto the couch by herself for about a minute. She's also quite the talker when she wants to be, blabbering at me unhappily whenever I tell her it's nap time. Her favorite game at the moment is peek-a-boo and she laughs like a goof when she's tickled these days. Apparently it's the funniest thing in the world ;)

Life is good, as is the weather. Think we'll go get an ice cream and play at the playground to celebrate...Ah, I love it when I have an excuse to get ice cream and play on the swings...

My daughter is an ice cream junkie. Seriously, she turns her nose up at baby food (bananas have been given the ok), but loves ice cream (in cone form). We were walking along the street today and I'd gotten a yogurt gelato and she just reached out and grabbed it, pulled my hand to her mouth and chowed down. Then she repeated the process for the rest of the walk home until the cone was gone. I blame the Italians and Aimee and AJ for developing this gelato addiction at such an early age. ;-) Can't blame her though, it's damn good ice cream...

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, why wont my baby sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will someone please explain the concept of naps and bedtime to her!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Frickin' wide awake child!

We had a great time in Tuscany, visiting both Florence and Siena and lounging by the pool of our villa. Oh, and holding Addi in front of a fan that spit out water (pic attached), because it was really, really hot! Mostly though, it was just nice to have Brendon computer free and away from work for a week! :)

Munich has been having some fabulously cool weather the past few days. So, we've (me and Addi) taken the chance to go hiking with my friend Aimee and AJ, who are here to visit, and to enjoy being outside. Addi also had a good doctor's visit today (she's 50% percentile on everything for her age) and has been attempting to inchworm and roll her way out of sight. We're just waiting for crawling now, as she's gotten very proficient at modified plank pose. Anyway, I'll throw in a few new pics from the past few weeks...
