Daytrip to Flagstaff

I decided to take Addie up to Flagstaff to visit with some of my dear friends on the last day of my fall break. I haven't made it up there in about a year and a half and it was long overdue! It was the perfect time to make the trip. All of the leaves were peaking up on the san francisco's. It was so pretty to actually get to see a bit of fall. I miss it down here, but then again when it is freezing in the middle of the winter I will be grateful to be here in perfect weather. It did make me miss Flag quite a bit though.

Addie's first attempt at solids

After Addie's 6mo. check up, we decided it was time to give the ol' solids a go! She was hysterical! Had no idea what to do with the spoon nor it's contents. Here are some pics of that morning.

Our trip to the beach!

We just got back last night and I have been trying to come up with a way to move to the beach. I seriously can't imagine a better place to live. We have also found out that Addie is a champion traveler! No fusses on either flight- she even napped.
We first went up to Hunstville for a couple of days to see my brothers and sister-in-law. My mom snatched up the opportunity to have people over to show off her new grandchild. She got Addie all gussied up and provided iced tea and homemade caramel cake to all who came to see her. God, I love the south!
After that we headed to the beach for a week for sheer relaxation. We spent most of our days at the beach with Nana and Papa relaxing in the shade and reading. I forgot how much I missed reading. It was also great because Addie stayed on her AZ schedule which meant to bed around 9:30, which meant I went to bed at 9:30 and got to sleep until about 7:30 every morning. I suddenly have energy again!!!

Here are some of the best pics from the trip...
