Mmm . . . . Delicious!
Addison had her first bite of baby food yesterday! Well, technically it was round two. Her ambitious and independent father decided to give her some rice cereal while I was gone for a half hour run a couple of days ago. As I came in the house, he excitedly told me what he had done and was suprised when I didn't react in the expected manner. In the discussion that followed, I learned to appreciate his desire to be a hands-on father, and he learned to appreciate my sentimentality as a mother. We decided that it didn't really count (because the first round is really just water, with one or two bits of cereal floating around anyway) and that we would do it together next time, pictures and all. So here it is! I expected her to make a funny, disgusted face like she did the time my Dad gave her a little taste of Dr. Pepper (much to my chagrin, but what are grandpas for?).
It went more like this:
She has been so eager to try food that she just chowed down! This picture is blurry, but it is a good example of how much she liked it.
"Don't take it away Mom!"

Addie got to meet some more of her cousins this weekend! From left to right: Kaydee 2 1/2 months, Addison 5 months, and McKenzie 9 months. She was bummed the twins (who were also born this summer) were not there, but she will get to meet them at Christmas time.
And finally after much fussing, hand biting, and drooling, Addison's two bottom teeth have made their debut! She doesn't appreciate my efforts to get a picture of them, so this one, which so beautifully demonstrates her drooling expertise, will have to do for now.

Misc updates
This week brought us Addison's very first Halloween! We got her a cute little costume and were all set for her to be the hit of the ward party, and then they cancelled it. Bumma. What's a little duck girl to do when she's all dressed up and there's nowhere to go?
Kristin took her to work, where everybody loved her, and we actually took her with us to go deliver cookies to our sunday school class, so she got to spend some time in it after all. Kristin decorated Addison's nursery with butterflies (if you haven't seen, there's a picture in one of our very first posts) and now Addie just loves them. She's so much fun these days!
Addison also has the funniest hair. She has this long rooster tail right on top, and then a bald spot, and then a little mullet/rat-tail in the back. It has finally started to grow, and so it looks thicker now, but that just seems to add to the humor of it somehow. This picture is an attempt to catch her hair in all its glory.
And finally, I got the information about my new vintage guitar, straight from the company. It's actually a 1959 Supro Belmont. The guy from the company said it looked like it was in great shape, and I agree. I put nice soft strings on it, so it would be gentle to Kristin's fingers as she learns to play. This is what it looks like all cleaned up.
