9 Month Check-Up

Addy had her 9 month check-up today. She is just under 29 inches long and 17.5 pounds! She is almost in the 95th percentile for her height. Because she is so long and lean and energetic we have to load her up with more protein so she gets to have meat 3 times a day. Her dad is so jealous!



This was also the first time the John has been able to come to one of Addy's doctors appointments. I don't think it was a coincidence that it was also the first appointment that she didn't need shots!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Big #&*!@ Daddy!
(He won't even tell Addy how old he is!)

Addy helped her daddy open his presents

Not forgetting, of course, to ham it up for the camera

9 Months Old!

9 months old and still a ham! She was not placed for this picture, she posed all on her own.
Gosh Darn, she's cute!

John and I looked at a picture of her when she was 3 months old last night and we just can't believe how big she is now and how fast the time has gone by.

That's My Girl

While we were playing today I noticed that Addy and I had assumed the same seated position!

Sculpture Show

Loveland is the #1 place in the country for bronze sculpture artists (so we brag, anyway). One weekend in August the city hosts the Sculpture In the Park, The Loveland Sculpture Invitational Show and Sale (340 artists over 3500 pieces), and Art in the park. Last year 18o artist participated in the Sculpture in the Park show alone and with over one millions dollars in sales it is the largest outdoor juried sculpture show in the U.S. The artwork is amazing!

On the way to the show; Addy's first school bus ride

This can be yours for a mere $110,000















Our neighbor made this piece

























A lot of wood and glass pieces this year

I thought this artist stuff was interesting

I walked behind Addy and John to make sure Addy didn't reach out and love a $20,000 "toy"

The Thinking Three

John was very inspired. He found this piece of art in his lemonade cup!

Heading back home

Some of the money from the shows is donated and used to buy sculpture to place around the city.

Standing Tall...ish

Focusing on her motivation

Up and grabbing

Success!
