The Beaman Crew

Mommy and Daddy finally got brave enough to go from the baby tub... to the "big girl" tub... Next step...SWIMMING POOL!  Judging by how much Addison loves bath time  and loves to kick, the swimming pool should be a breeze! 

Grandma Sue-Sue gave Addison the neatest little train toy.  It has blocks with all the letters of the alphabet on them and does all kinds of things.  Addison LOVES it!  She plays with it every day... She'll be riding that thing all over the house before we know it.  Thanks, Grandma Sue-Sue for the new toy!  She also loves her swing!  I forgot I had bought one at a yard sale a long time ago.  I was so excited when I found it.  Adam hung it up on our porch... I can hardly wait to get another warm day so we can swing again!  Another thing Addison has enjoyed lately....playing Peek-a-boo.  She played peek-a-boo in her jumper this morning... I wish I got pictures of her and her Daddy playing peek-a-boo behind her toy train tonight.  It was so dog-on cute!  She is getting to be such a big girl! Speaking of big girls...look who has learned to hold her bottle all by herself!... This may not seem like a big deal, but this little ac...

 Our little baby girl turned 7 months old yesterday.  What a fun, exciting, tiring, rewarding, sweet, busy, scary, joyous, and awesome 7 months it has been!  Not a lot has changed since my last "update blog-growing like a weed".  She does seem to get a little bigger every day, though.  She is wearing 9 month clothes and 1-2 size shoes.  She is still wearing size 3 diapers.  She has tried lots more foods, and so far, so good!  Thank you, Jesus!  She has 4 bottles per day when she is home, but normally has 5 bottles per day on daycare days.  We stopped giving her breastmilk and her skin has been so much better ever since!  I still have a freezer full of breastmilk, but I may be able to donate it!!  I will blog about that when I find out more...I am so excited!  She is still hasn't mastered crawling.  She still loves the dogs, the bathtub, her jumper, and anything crazy.  She still loves to clap and wave. ...

Addison and I have had a very busy weekend so far, but we sure have enjoyed it!  First we headed to Mamaw and Pawpaw's house Friday with my mom (Grandma Sue-Sue).  Mamaw and Pawpaw were not the only ones that were happy to see Addison... I love this little face she has been making a lot lately... This morning we got a surprise visit from Pa-pa!  Pa-pa is so silly! The three of us went to Home Depot and Lowe's then picked us up some lunch.  After lunch, Addison finally laid down for a nap.  We had to wake her early though, to go to Kade's 1st birthday party!  I forgot to take my camera in, but I don't think Katie  will mind if I "borrow" a couple from her blog :)  Here's a picture of Kade and his mommy... He had the cutest little John Deere theme.  I think he'll grow up to be a good ole' country boy like his daddy! Here's a picture of some of the babies at the party.  The plan was to get a picture of just the babies, but that didn'...

This weekend has given me a serious case of spring fever!  We have actually been able to go outside and it has been great!!  I took Addison for a stroll around the farm... She loved it, but we couldn't stay out long because of the crazy wind.  We soaked up what little bit of sun we could though!  Then we headed back in the house for more play time.  Addison looked so cute in her little pirate top so I just HAD to take some pictures...  I finally got her to hold her bottle...now she just has to learn how to "turn it up".  Ha!  Baby steps, baby steps!  After all that playing, we had to go to town to run a couple of errands.  By the time we got back home we were both pooped.  We didn't even hear Adam come home...we were fast asleep! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!
