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.

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.

So Much Fun!

                  What a wonderful weekend!  Snow and Valentine's Day. 

           We had so much fun this weekend.

 

Addison had so much fun in the snow.

 

  

We also had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  

Church and lunch and then an afternoon full of play time

 

 Addison is also getting very brave walking.  Over the weekend, she began 

taking a few more steps every time she decided to walk.  Her walker car is 

her new favorite toy.  She loves walking around the house.

She also loves to ride it ... but there are times when she does not want to 

wait on us to help her get on it.

  

Needless to say she has not quite mastered it yet.  

This look says, please stop taking pictures Mom and push me around.

Addison also has four new teeth coming in up top.  

When she's not pushing her car around or riding her car, 

she's taking me and Jeremy for tours of the house.  

Soon she's going to realize she really doesn't need to hold on to that one 

finger to walk around.  For now we will just enjoy that still 'needs' us for a 

little help.She so independent.  Once she starts walking, I know she will not 

want to be held or helped at all.

We hope everyone had a very Happy Valentine's Day!!

1st Birthday Party

We had Addison's 1st Birthday Party in Americus so that our family could be there. 

We were very blessed to have my grandparents, my parents, Jeremy's parents,

Aunt Judy and our friends Jessica, Stuart & Knox and Ashley. 

We had such a wonderful time.

Addison had so much fun with Knox. 

Their birthdays are only 3 weeks apart and were so cute together!

Addison was a little hesitant about the cake ... I'm beginning to think she doesn't

really like her hands being dirty.  A true girly girl? :-).

Grandmama, Addison & Honey

The girls - Jessica, Addison, Me & Ashley

We were so glad they were able to come from out of town to the party!!

My parents & Addison

One of the girls that works with my Mom made the adorable cakes for the party. 

They were so cute and we could not have been happier!

Thank you Mama for all of your help!!

I would also like to thank my parents for letting us have the party at their house

and for all of their help with the party.  I can't believe how quickly the first year went by. 

We've had such a wonderful year and were so happy to be able to celebrate

Addison's birthday with some of our friends and family.
