Summer Is Winding Down

We went to the beach in August for our annual family beach trip.  

Addison had so much fun.

 Addison was always ready to head to the beach ...

They also had the best pool where we stayed and Addison just loved it!

We had such a wonderful time.

And we cannot wait to go back next year.

Addison also had a wonderful time helping her friend 

Mary celebrate her 2nd birthday.

It was an ice cream party and Addison was in heaven ... 

she loves ice cream!

We have had such a wonderful summer and are sad that it's coming to an end.

But with fall comes ... UGA football!

She loves cheering on the Bulldogs ... 

hopefully she will bring them more luck going forward.

We've been spending a lot of time outside and Addison 

is enjoying every moment.

And as you can tell, Addison has become a HUGE fan of Elmo 

... or as Addison refers to him Melmo!

We can't wait to see what fun adventures the fall will bring for us.

And the Fun Continues!

We celebrated Addison's 18 month birthday on June 30 ... 

I cannot believe how quickly time has gone by.  

She had a cupcake in her favorite color

... pink ... 

and as you can see, she had a great time eating it.

She was pink for at least a day!

Addison is talking all the time and singing as well.  

She loves to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

and the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" ... with all of the motions of course.

She is very curious and I'm constantly 

amazed at how smart she is and how

quickly she figures things out ... 

sometimes she's a little too smart ;-).

We were able to spend a long weekend in 

Americus visiting my family.  

We went to visit my grandparents (Addison's great-grandparents) 

and whilewe were there and Addison had so much fun 

playing the pianowith Mimi (my Dad's Mom)

We went to visit Jeremy's family for the 4th of July.

We took Addison to the beach and she had a great time.  It was a little windy that day

as you can see ... but she still had a lot of fun.

We took Addison to an indoor play area last weekend and we all had such a great time!

I'm pretty sure we had almost as much fun as Addison did ...

We laughed the whole time we were there and had so much fun just the three of us.

I can't believe how quickly the summer is flying by ... we leave for the beach on Saturday.

We cannot wait to make so many more memories with our sweet little girl.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!!

Summer Fun!

As you can tell Addison is full of personality these days!

 

 

 We are having so much fun with her this summer.

Addison is growing and changing so much ... I wish we could

stop time for just a little bit and enjoy these days.

Here she is just being silly.  For some reason she wanted to wear

her pants on her head ... 

And she loves to push her dolls around in her grocery cart.  

She's not extremelygentle with them just yet ... 

at least they get a ride, right?

Addison has started saying a couple new words ... ball & bubbles.

She has also started giving kisses ... which just makes our day!!

 

She also loves to wear my shoes around the house.  It's so cute.

She is such a girlie girl!  She loves jewelry, shoes & purses.

We also had a wonderful Father's Day!

My parents came up for the weekend and we had a wonderful 

time visiting.

Jeremy, Addison & my Dad

We love our little girl so much!!  And are having the best summer!

Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend, Jeremy and I 

took our first 'real' trip without Addison.  

We went to Las Vegas for a long weekend 

and had a wonderful time.  

While we were gone Addison spent the long 

weekend with her grandparents, both sets actually.  

My parents kept her for the first night and Jeremy's parents 

came up and kept her the rest of the time.

She had a wonderful time and here are a few pictures from her very exciting weekend.

More Spring Fun & Mother's Day

We've been spending a lot of time outside lately.
In fact if given the choice, I'm pretty sure Addison would stay outside all day.

Addison is also a lot of help when it comes to watering the flowers...

We've been having so much fun with her and enjoying every moment.

Not only does Addison like helping with the outdoor chores,
she also loves helping with the dishes ... or at least taking things out as you put them in.

Addison has a couple more teeth coming in and she has also discovered a new favorite ...

Ketchup!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day.  My parents came to visit and 

Addison had a wonderful time visiting with them.

Like I said, Addison loves being outside, so we spent most of the afternoon in the backyard.

Addison was being quite silly ...

And we of course had a wonderful day on Mother's Day.

Three generations ...

Me & Addison with My Parents

As you can tell, Addison is also a big fan of our new chairs that we just put in the backyard.

It's been another busy month and the summer is
alreadyfull of activities. We are looking forwardto spending the
afternoons andweekends outside.
Addison is growing up so fast andis quite busy. 
She's so curious about everything and
is learning so much every day.

Spring Fun & Easter

We're a little behind on the blogging.  So now it's time to catch up.

Spring has been very busy.  We've had some wonderful weather and Addison has enjoyed spending time outside on the weekends and when we get home in the afternoons.

Jeremy's parents also came to visit for a weekend and Addison had a great time with them.

Addison has been completely off baby food for a little over a month.  

Mashed potatoes are a favorite of hers.  She is also walking very well now ... or should I say

running!  She is into everything and we are having so much fun.

Happy 30th Birthday Jeremy!

We also celebrated Jeremy's 30th birthday. 

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!! 

We love you!  You are a wonderful father, husband and best friend!

We were able to celebrate with some great friends.

We spent Easter in Americus with my family and we had a wonderful time.  

The weather was beautiful and were able to spend some time outside enjoying her swing.

We also dyed some eggs ... Addison was such a big helper. 


The Easter Bunny was very good to Addison ...

She loved the playing with the plastic eggs.

We were able to spend some time with Addison's great gradparents ... Mimi & Gran.  

They always enjoy seeing her and she loves spending time with them.

We had such a wonderful Easter with family.

Addison and her Easter basket.

Even though she loved the Easter eggs, she really like throwing them more
than actually putting them in the basket.
I think she thought they were balls.

And as you can see the camera case seemed to fit into the basket just as well as the Easter eggs.

Addison was also able to spend Easter with her other great grandmother.

She had so much fun hunting eggs with Grandmama.

Spring has been wonderful so far.  We've had great weather and we've had the chance to spend

some wonderful time with our family and friends.  Addison is changing so much every day.

She is always on the go and constantly talking.  

She is such a joy and we are having so much fun with her.
