6 Month Quirks

Andlie always has to have her feet "perched" on something when she's lying down.

The first thing Andlie does when she sees anyone is grab for their nose and/or chin.

Andlie's tongue is always sticking out when she's having fun.

We love Andlie and can't believe she's already past six months!

Mirror, Mirror on the. . .Floor

She is obviously the fairest (and cutest and most darling and most perfect and adorable and funny and happy) of them all!

Happy 4th!

Andlie got all dressed in her darling America outfit. When I got her out to walk to the parade, we realized that she pooped all over everywhere!

So, she changed into her pink outfit and we watched the parade. Andlie watched it with Gampa in the shade.

Later that day, she got to try a fruit snack - - something I think she wishes she could have more often.

Then we went to the traditional family party at Granny's house. Yes, we do use the camera for pictures of me & Bryan sometimes. Sometimes.

Andlie had fun playing with Aunt Mandy and the balloons!

And, she had a real fun time with the patriotic necklaces everyone was sporting! Mmmmmm!

Then we went and watched fireworks! Andlie loved them and even started talking to them and laughing at them!

Happy 4th of July! We hope yours was as good as ours!

Math Problems & Swimming

We took Andlie swimming for the first time and she loved every minute! We can't wait to go again!

If You Give a Baby Some Tape. . .

. . .she'll probably ask for some more.

And then she'll probably want a remote. She'll most likely put the entire thing in her mouth.

And then she might get bored and want some play time with Daddy. . .

. . .and Mommy.

And Mommy & Daddy will likely give her everything she wants. Always.
