Ada's Baptism

Yesterday, Ada was baptised and we had a wonderful family gathering to celebrate (and to celebrate Uncle Dave's b-day as well!).

 

 

 

 

Richmond Metro Zoo

We took the girls to the Zoo last week and had a wonderful day. Josie and Ada had a great time visiting all the animals (and feeding them too!).

 

 

 

 

Swimming

Ada had her first swim last weekend and enjoyed kicking around in the big turtle. Josie and I have been at the pool everyday recently, she's in a two-week everyday swim lesson with two other three year olds. She has been doing great - learning how to kick and use her arms and jump off the side of the pool.

 

 

 

 

Reunions

This past weekend was my 10 year reunion from UVA. I didn't take that many pictures (must have been the 100 degree weather), but here are a few family ones taken after a brunch with the Hoang family (see Beckham below with Ada and Josie).

Also posted below are some other recent pictures, since it has been a while since I last posted.

 

 

 

Sisters

Josie has taken on a few big sister roles lately - helping feed Ada solids and pushing Ada in the baby swing (when she's not enjoying being pushed herself!). One evening when Josie was feeding Ada, she said to Ada, "focus, Ada, focus...here you go now, into the Ada mouth!" (Ada was evidently getting distracted and was not focused enough on her eating!).

 

 

 

On the Lawn

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the lawn (prior to this current heat wave). Please notice the last picture of Ada trying to throw herself on the grass - these days she just wants to get her hands into everything!!!

Ada Eats!

So I have alot of catching up to do, as usual!!! Ada turned 6 months old back in April and with that milestone, came her introduction to solids!!! She's now eating three solid meals a day and by far her favorites are sweet potatoes and blueberry pear.
