Yes, it's been a while

Dear All My Friends and Family, Those of you who blog, keep it up. I love reading about what is going on in your lives. I freely acknowledge that I am terrible about blogging, but it is something I aspire to be better at. Two friends in particular who are great about blogging (Ruth and Jon), you are my heroes! Keep up the good work. Perhaps the reason why I don't blog as much is because I find all of your lives much more interesting than mine. Don't get me wrong--I love my life. I am really, really enjoying this life, particularly now that I am no longer constantly nauseated. :) Our second little girl is due in October, and we are excited about that. Other than that, Brent and I have a fairly predictable routine, although we are trying to change that up so we actually have social activities. I'll try and keep you posted about our little adventures. Fortunately, Addy saves the day. Here are some pictures of our darling little girl. This is 100% Addy's pose, I swear. I thought it was so cute that I had to snap a picture. Brent loved it so much that this is the picture we gave him for Father's Day. Addy loves balls. I can't emphasize that enough. She LOVES them. The bigger the better, usually. She found this ball at Wal-Mart and carried it around the whole store. Brent could not pry it out of her hands without the floodgates starting, so he chose to buy the ball for her. She was thrilled. :) Brent snuck in to take a picture of the girl cuddled up to her favorite monkey. I strongly advised against it because I didn't want the flash to wake her up. Fortunately, he did not listen to me and we got this gem of a picture. Another photo of the much-beloved monkey. Addy really loves this--this was a stuffed animal she picked out herself for her Christmas present. She liked the other varities of animals available, but wouldn't put the monkey down so we HAD to get it for her. Take a wild guess as to which parent snapped this picture. :) Yes, Brent again. I'm grateful for his foresight as I probably just would have taken the cereal away. I got the baby girl all ready for church and then left for a meeting. Addy found our "food storage" shelf and helped herself to Lucky Charms. Brent snapped a lot of pictures of her greedily stuffing the cereal in her mouth. I can't blame her--Lucky Charms are my favorite junk cereal as well. Addy is learning how to feed herself! And she's excited to do it. In this picture you can see that I gave her two spoons as she doesn't care whether the spoon is in her left or right hand. We love our girl!

She's so cute! Loving the update on your darling (and the reminder of what more to expect from Meredith in the next few months). Thanks for the shout out as well. :)

She's adorable, and so precocious! Scoring a "10" on the fine cereal opening motor skills. :)

Cute kid! Looks like a chip off of the old block.

I'm glad that someone out there is reading my blog. =)
