I Love You, California!

Adeline continues to love her "jumpy chair" as Will calls it. She's also coming close to crawling!!

Ava has been taking a greater interest in Adeline these days. She gets a little bit closer and sometimes even lets Adeline reach out to pet her! I can't wait to see how their relationship grows!

She still loves reading in the morning while Mama makes her coffee!

She's just so photogenic when she plays and loves digging around in boxes and baskets!

Today Adeline had her first taste of regular food! We went with yellow squash which wasn't a huge hit. I don't think she really knew what to do with it, since most of the food just dribbled down her chin. We'll keep trying!

Today was Adeline's six month doctors appointment. She's going through her stranger anxiety phase right now so she was not too happy about seeing the nurse, but she pulled through for the doctor and her shots. She was even all smiles when we got home and later in the day, too!

That's what this girl loves to do! It's so fun too now that she is able to move around more on her own and even sit up, too!

We love getting this little girl outside! She loves her Papa even more, though! Also, they're wearing their matching Oaklandish shirts today, and by a total coincidence, too!

Wow! Six months! We're now closer to her first birthday than the day she was born which is just crazy. Time goes by so quickly (but it seems like forever sometimes, too!)

Will was traveling for work this year on our anniversary, so we had a belated celebration in Napa on Sunday. We decided we should celebrate the day with bubbles! Adeline was a great celebration companion. We started the day with breakfast at home and then hopped in the car around Adeline's nap time so she could snooz in the car a little. Our first stop was Chandon! We shared a tasting and sat out on the lawn and enjoyed the early morning fresh air. It was time for Adeline to eat so we stopped at this cute little park near Chandon for me to feed her. We also had a little snack of salmon salad, cheese, and crackers. The tables in the park had built in checker/chess boards and little ziplocks of game pieces! We didn't have time to play, but I love this concept. She loves her Papa! Next we drove to Mumm Napa. We had the lower patio area all to ourselves! Adeline even fell asleep for a nap in her stroller so we sat and relaxed with some bubbles while over...

So many smiles from this little one.
