Sippy Cup (September 30th)

At Addison's 6-month appointment she was given the go ahead to add sippy cups to her list.  We were very excited to let her start that evening after I got home from work.  Until now (with the exception of certain people letting her "try" sweet tea from their glasses) she had not had anything other than breast milk and formula.  Now that her kidneys are fully developed, she can add water.  When we handed her the cup, she immediately knew where to put it, but still needs to develop some additional technique.  She does great when we hold it, but it is a little large yet for her to hold it up and tilt her head at the same time.  She has the mechanics down, she just needs to catch up on her cup to body ratio.  It was yet another first which she was thrilled about which makes it all the more fun for us.  It won't be long before she graduates from this version to the next.  We are so proud of your adventurous spirit that prompts you to try any and all things that are introduced.


About Me

My photo
Our story began in 1997 during our sophomore and junior years of high school in Mineral Wells, Texas. Being the older siblings of sisters, we would occasionally have to provide transportation for the two girls, who happened to be friends. Monty and I became acquainted on one such drop off, and as they say the rest is history. Following graduation, Monty and I moved to College Station to attend Texas A&M and discover what the world had to offer. As luck would have it, our relationship continued to grow during our time in college, and Monty proposed in December 2003. Following a wonderful engagement, we were married on June 4, 2005. Following our honeymoon, we moved to San Antonio for Monty to work as a custom home builder and for me to begin my career as a CPA with a focus in audit. After three wonderful years in San Antonio, we said goodbye to all of our friends in July 2008 and made the move back to Mineral Wells where it all began for Monty to begin his own homebuilding business. We are very excited to see what the future holds and share those times with you....
