11 Months Old

      It's been a very busy month for Miss Addison.  She's getting so big and

is so busy!!  And crawling every where.

She finally started crawling on her knees ... here she is when she realized she could do it.

Elizabeth you were right ... just took being on a differnt surface for her to realize she could do it.

I also gave her a sucker the other day.  She seemed to like it.

Of course she had to touch it with her other hand as well.  It was too funny.

We went to Jeremy's parent's house for Thanksgiving.

We had beautiful weather and Addison had a great time.

 

Jeremy bought Addison this giraffe before she was born and she loves it.

She gets so excited when she sees it.

While we were in St. Simons visiting, we were able to meet up with one of

my friends from college, Allison, and her little boy Rhett.

We had a great time and I'm so glad we were able to meet for lunch.

 

Addison was able to wear her first Christmas dress the Sunday after

Thanksgiving and we were able to get some really cute pictures of her.

Jeremy's parents and Addison - she was busy looking at the ducks :-)

We also put up our Christmas tree when we got home and Addison loves it.

She gets the biggest smile on her face everytime we turn it on.

I knew she would love it ... she loves bright shiny things.

This is when she saw the tree for the first time.

 Just staring at the lights ...

She did not like touching the tree the first couple of days, but now she is

getting braver and really likes the shiny (non-breakable) ornaments that are on the bottom of the tree. 

I can't believe Christmas is almost here and Addison will turn one in less than a month.

Where has this first year gone?  It has been an amazing year!!

Sorry it was such a long post ... it's been a busy month!
