On Sunday, while we had friends visiting from Canada, we decided to let Ada try out her new pool. She loved it! In the next couple of weeks we will be starting our baby swimming class at the Y, that should be fun too.
Thanks Brian for holding the umbrella :)
Once again I am behind on posting Ada’s weekly updates (every Thursday)…this will probably be the norm for awhile so I will stop bringing it up :) There is just too little time in a day.
Last week Thursday was a nice day so I took a few outdoors with Ada in her new romper. The outfit is a little big but I love it and will probably take more when it fits her better.
This is Todd’s first official Father’s Day with his adorable Ada! He got to celebrate it last year but it wasn’t quite the same without getting to hold his baby girl.
I found Todd’s shirt at ThinkGeek (LOVE them) and I made Ada’s (thanks Julie!). For those of you who don’t speak geek, Todd’s shirt says DAD in binary and Ada’s says I LOVE DADDY. The most important thing is that I got all the numbers right thanks to an online binary alphabet code :)
Last weekend we stayed at a beach house in Ocean Shores with Todd’s family to celebrate Cindy’s birthday. We had fun sharing meals and walking on the beach. Ada enjoyed seeing her cousin Bryden who had gotten so big since the last time we saw him.
It was Ada’s first time at the beach and she loved it, especially playing in the sand! We saw a baby harbor seal trying to warm himself on the beach while the tide was out. Hopefully he made it back to the sea since he was all by himself. We also saw sea horses, well, horses by the sea. Wish I could have rode one. The last pictures are of a shop called Sharkey’s. I loved the entrance!
Ada turned five months old yesterday. She also discovered how to suck her big toe…taking after her Daddy (when he was a baby) :)
Ada just started saying “m” sounds this week. She also twists her tongue and moves her lips with these new sounds, like she is trying to form words. It’s amazing how all of a sudden babies start doing something new! She can also sit unsupported for a few moments if she is balanced right.
This past Saturday Ada & I went to the Scottish Highland Games with our friends Jen & Kylie. We had fun listening to Celtic music, bagpipes and watching both guys and gals in the caber (aka a wooden pole) toss.
There’s nothing quite like seeing men in plaid skirts…er, I mean kilts!
