Addy's First Swimming Lesson

Addy had her first swimming lesson with Grandpa Jim at the rec center in Loveland.

Addy in her robe, ready to go

Addy started out on the top step in a about an inch of water. After a couple minutes her grandpa tried to take her in the water but she wasn't going for it. So back on the step she went.

Addy figured out how to splash and gradually moved down the steps into the water.
She kicked around like a little frog for half an hour!
Her grandpa says she is a natural!
Check out the videos!!

Boatin' Baby

We spent the afternoon cruising around Horseshoe Lake in Loveland. Addy slept through most of the ride on her dads boat but was wide awake for her first trip on her Grandpa's pontoon boat.

I am so glad I remembered my camera today(not that the cell phone didn't do the job).
I love this shot!

She is buckin' for a promotion to Captain already

First- Mate's First Voyage

Addy has been made First-Mate of the S.S. Bad Ass (John's ski boat), which means I have been demoted to Deckhand!

Taste Test

Addy had her first taste of fruit today.
We started her off with a fine bottle, excellent vintage, and moved on to a perfect pear, strained of course!
She wasn't loving the food but she definitely likes it better than cereal.

The Christening Dress

I could not have been happier with the dress that my mom made for Addy's baptism!
She looked so beautiful!

6 Months Old!

Happy Half Birthday Addison!

Addy went in for her six month check up today. She weighs an even 15 pounds (up from 12.3) and is 27 inches long (up from 25 inches). She has done a lot of growing in the last two months!
She is in the 75th percentile for her weight and still in the 90th percentile for her height. Addy is filling out and getting some nice baby chubs but she is still on the long and lean side.

The Doctor says she is right were she needs to be with her motor skills. We will be starting her on some strained fruit tomorrow...very exciting!

I think we will be seeing a tooth pretty soon. She has not been sleeping as well as she usually does for the last week and she really enjoys anything that rubs her gums now. I'll keep you posted!

Baptism

Addison Grace Hein was baptized on May 19th, 2007 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church





Addy, Mom, Dad and Grandparents

John's Uncle, Father Kenneth, is an Abbot. He was nice enough to drive down from Idaho to do the ceremony for us.

John and Addy picked this out for me, the picture really doesn't do it justice! Citrine/Yellow Topaz is the birthstone for Colton and Addison.

A Visit to the Office

Addy wanted to follow-up on the files she helped with last night so we went down to Denver to have lunch with Dad.

Making sure everything is in order

Addy was dressed like a little ray of sunshine today. Everyone at John's office wanted to hold her or squeeze those cheeks.
We had lunch at John's favorite BBQ place. I am usually not to excited about BBQ restaurants but this place was great!
