Fall Fun!

Addison has had a very busy Fall so far.  We went to the pumpkin patch and she had a blast.  She found some very cute mini pumpkins that were perfect for her and she loved the hay ride.

It definitely would not have been nearly as fun if our friends Mary and Jackson had not come with us.

Of course we couldn't get them to all look at the same time. 

It's amazing how much her expressions are so similar to Jeremy's.

Addison was so excited on the way home.  She had so much fun on our outing. 

Addison also had a great first Halloween.  We went trick or treating with my best friend Julie's two little girls.  Julie and I have been friends since we were seven so it was a lot of fun to take our little girls trick or treating.

Peyton (the flower) is 16 months, Addison is 10 months and Blayne is almost 3.  They had so much fun and were so cute!!

And of course Addison was a ballerina.  She loved her outfit and it was so cute!

Addison went to visit her great grandparents, Mimi and Gran.  She loves to spend time with them.  And of course my parents always loves spending time with her. 

 

Addison now has her second tooth coming in and her favorite thing to do is to cruise around the sofa.  We are having so much fun with her.  I can't believe she's ten months now.  This first year is going by so fast.

9 1/2 months!

Addison is 9 1/2 months now!  I can't believe it.  She had her 9 months shots a little over a week ago and did great.  Here she is at 9 months.  She has quite the personality!

 

She is such a happy baby!!  She started saying ma-ma a few weeks ago ... of course she has not connected it to me just yet.  Jeremy's waiting on da-da.  We've started army crawling a little bit as of this past week.  So I'm sure she'll be crawling any day now.  One of her new favorite things it pulling herself up so that she can stand.  And we love clapping our hands now.  She thinks it is the greatest thing ever to start clapping so that we'll say 'yay!'.  We are having so much fun with her. 

My friend Kate has a friend in Birmingham (Lindsey) that does monogramming and she made Addison this adorable pumpkin shirt. Lindsey will definitely be hearing from me a lot ... she does such great work!!

Addison is ready for Halloween ... she's going to be a ballerina.  And we'll be going to the pumkin patch in a couple of weeks!  So many first ... I can't believe how quickly she is growing up!

KD Legacy

Addison attended her first KD Bid Day this past weekend.  They had t-shirts made for the legacies ... which are adorable.  Of course it's a little big for her, but she'll grow into it.  My good friend Ashley's little sister pledged KD, so we went to congratulate her.  Addison had a great time visiting with everyone and taking pictures.

We have also officially retired the infant tub!  I can't believe she's taking big girl bathes now.  But she he loves it!  She's also becoming very interested in holding the spoon herself and putting it in her mouth.  Granted, not much food actually ends up in her mouth when she does it :-). 

Since I did miss a few months - We moved Addison from The Sunshine House to the Light House Academy at East Cobb United Methodist Church almost 3 months ago.  They taught her to hold her own bottle after a couple of weeks, which amazes me.  We love the new daycare.  She is so happy and learning so much every day.
She's also been eating baby food for a couple of months now and she loves her baby food.

It hit me last night, when I was putting her to bed, how big she's getting.  I can't believe how quickly the last 8 1/2 months have gone by.  As the holidays quickly approach, it reminds me that our little girl will soon turn 1.

Catching Up Again ....

Ok, so I have not done a good job of keeping up with this blog ... obviously. The last time I posted Addison was 8 weeks old ... well she's a little over 8 months old now. So a lot has happened in the last 6 months. I will post pictures of each month.
We went to the beach in August and she loved the water. She wasn't quite sure about the waves when she was standing on the beach. She did great though! Of course she took a nap everytime we were at the beach. I guess the waves and the breeze were very relaxing to her.
She isn't crawling yet, but she's beginning to make the motions so I know she will be scooting around any day now. She is very curious and wants to see everything that's going on. She's also begun to pull up on her crib ... if I'm in her room working and she wants to see what I'm doing she'll peek over the top of the crib. She has become quite fond of JJ (our Jack Russell). She thinks he is so funny ... she will just start laughing at him for no reason at all. It is so cute. We have been blessed with such a sweet baby girl. She is so content and laid back. We are enjoying every minute with her.
We went to the Zoo for Labor Day. I think she's still a little young for that type of activity. She loved seeing all of the people and she did get excited about some of the animals that were close to us. But otherwise, there were too many other distractions for her to focus on the animals.
She also watched her first UGA football game on Saturday. She was all dressed up in ther UGA attire. It was so cute.
I will try to do better from now on and keep the blog up to date!
Have a wonderful week!

Getting Up to Date

I'm very new to blogging, so we'll see how this goes.

Addison is 8 weeks old now. She's getting so big. I can't believe how quickly time is going by. I have to go back to work in 3 weeks ... yuck ... I wish I could stay home. I never thought I would want to be a stay at home mom, but now I wish I could.

Addison was born on December 30, 2008 and weighed 5lbs 11oz. The last time we went to the doctor (about a month ago) she weighed 7.5 lbs. We go to the doctor for her 2 month appointment next week. So we will see how much she has gained. She will have to get her first round of shots and I'm dreading it. I'm sure it will be harder on me than it will be on her.

She is beginning to smile a lot more. I love just watching her and seeing her smile.

Today Addison experienced her first Snow Day! It was very exciting, but very cold and I don't think she particularly liked the cold snow on her face.
