Crawling!

0 comments Posted by Kristin at 4:32 PM

Addie turned 7 months old yesterday and crawled for the first time!

She has been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth for quite awhile now. She was getting soooo frustrated because she couldn't just take off, I could tell she wanted to crawl. I was thinking all this over yesterday as I watched her rocking back and forth. I knew it wouldn't be too much longer...I walked into the kitchen & came back just in time to see her move on leg forward, one arm forward, one leg forward *Fell down* so it wasn't much but she CRAWLED! Then she did a once more a few hours later! I'm sure by next week she'll be crawling all over the place!

Easter

Addie after going through her easter basket, she got: a toy ball, baby mum mums, mesh feeder )even though we're doing BLW I wanted one of these for small fruits she can't pick up yet and slippery foods she cant quite hold on to), pink rubber ducky, block I knit with different stitches (therefore different textures) on each side and 2 easter eggs I knit, one has a bell inside the other has crinkle paper & a bell. I knit her those b/c I had that yarn sitting in a basket with all my other yarn & Addie was always soo drawn to it...all the colors? So when her real easter gifts didn't make it in time (variety of teething toys) I knit these up to fill her basket. She loves them.

Braxton didn't get too much because I knew he was getting lots of candy and toys that day. He got: ring pops, 4 hotwheel cars, bubbles, & a "How to train your dragon" tshirt. He is obsessed with that movie now since we took him to see it on his birthday. He loves anything dragon now.


The kids when they first saw their baskets, Addie dug into hers right away but Braxton was being cranky & didn't want to...so Addie started going through his then he really got upset so we had to move him away from her!
Hunting easter eggs. There were TONS of eggs & only 2 kids hunting eggs. Braxton & his cousin Gavin who is 3 months younger than him so it was quite fair. Braxton got TWO baskets FULL, and so I dumped one basket of eggs into the diaper bag to make room and he filled that basket again! Loooots of candy! ;)

Braxton & Addie...Gavin was supposed to be sitting between them but he didn't want to take photos so we went ahead & got this shot while we could...Braxtons usually not into having his pic taken.

 

Swagbucks

I've been using Swagbucks for about 2-3 months now. You've probably never heard of it, right? I found it in January after lurking the boards of diaperswappers....I thought it was another one of those "gimmicks" but everyone seemed sooo in love with it so I thought I'd give it a try.

Swagbucks is a search engine. You search for stuff, some searches rewards you with "Swag bucks" (points that add up that you can spend in their swagstore.) You can also get swagbucks by having their free toolbar and by participating in contests/their blog/swaghunts.

I won't do all of the explaining here-just wanted to get the word out that Swagbucks is INCREDIBLE!!

Wanna know what I do with my swagbucks? I buy Amazon gift cards. (or should I say E-cards?) When you redeem them they just send you the "code" to use at check out. Between January and March, I've redeemed SIX $5 giftcards. Thats thirty bucks I made for searching things...searching things I normally would have "googled."

Here is their blog:
http://blog.swagbucks.com/

Main Swagbucks page:
http://swagbucks.com/?cmd-home

They've also got a twitter & facebook page, I believe those can be found on the blog or main page.

Check it out! :)

 

Big day for Addie!

In one day Addie:

-cut her very first tooth!

AND

-started crawling backwards! (When Braxton started crawling backwards it was just a matter of weeks before he was crawling all over the place-forward-of course, he was officially crawling at 7 months...Addie is 6.5 months. Am I scared? Yes. Nervous? Yes. Excited? YES!)

This explains why Addiebug's been soooo cranky!
