New mode of transpotation

Daddy has a new way to carry Addie around.

Christmas Afternoon

Here we are opening gifts. We got home from Winslow, Addie napped and then it was finally time to OPEN PRESENTS.... Well, it didn't go quite as planned. Addie hates the rocking horse Santa got her. She scream and cried and definately didn't want to get on it. The rest of the toys she was pretty happy with.

Christmas Eve

Here is Addie and Daddy in the bar at La Posada. yes, we're starting her early :)

Nightly walks

Since our neighborhood had such nice light and decoration up around Christmas, Robert, Addie, Zeuser and I would go for a walk every night to see the lights. Here is Addie and Zeuser. We love the bunting on Addie, it worked great for our walks and for when we were in Winslow.

1st Tea Party

Addie was over playing with her friend Tatum and they had a tea party. Addie didn't want to wear a hat, but Tatum looks sooo cute in hers. I was excited to see that at the Barkat's they have veggie tea parties. Addie is enjoying a beautiful piece of iceberg lettuce.

Christmas Card Picture Day

Here is Addie and I after we took our Christmas card photos.

Christmas Tree Shopping

Here is Addie and I shopping ofr our tree. It's a bit of a challenge in AZ, to find a good tree. We ending up at 3 different places. Addie was quite upset with me, when she reach out and grabbed the tree. I guess she tought the needles were going to be soft.

My safety mat

We got these foam tiles for our living room, since we have no carpet. Addie has figured out that the mat is ok to fall on and the tile is not ok to fall on. Of course she doesn't stay on it.... Darn kids :)

Looky what I can do..

Here she is standing up in her crib, all by herself. Robert got Addie up after her nap and when he walked in, this is what he saw. She is pulling herself up on the furniture and all. Boy is the fun ready to begin :) We lowered her crib matress as a safety precaution. Subsequently, she no longer can get into her "hideout."

OH NO! IT'S SANTA

Well a picture is worth a 1000 words but Addison didn't quite want to give Santa a big hug. She was kind of cranky before hand (needed a nap) so it was kind of doomed from the start

BFF

Here is Addie and her first best girl buddy. This is Tatum, she is my friend Jill's daughter. Jill helps me out, by watching Addie while I'm tutoring. The girls are really cute together. Addie gets really excited when she sees Tatum.



Here are Jill's children, Peyton, Landon and Tatum loving on Addie.

Ohh.. The Places we'll go

Need I say more... YIKES

Trip to CA

Addie got sick with her first cold on Thanksgiving day. She was a real trooper and stayed in good spirits. She is almost over, thank goodness.


Addie is now offically a girl, she had her first Black Friday shopping extravaganza with Mom and Grandma Jankovich

Are ya talkin' to me....

She was crawling after me, and trying to get the camera. This picture made me laugh :)

The cutest diaper ever

Here she is in her secret hide out, which happens to be under her crib :)

Here is Addie in her very stylish personalize diaper.

Sippy Cup

Addie is learning to drink from a sippy cup. She is eating solid food for breakfast and dinner, but still breastfeeding several times a day. She started crawling last week, so now we are in big trouble.

Addie's Hide out....

Addie has been doing this for awhile but I had a hard time getting it on film or video.

Chick or Treat

Here is Addie on her 1st Halloween. The second picture if of her and her friend Alex. He was a rooster since she was a chick. They were too cute.

Ghostly Cute

Here she is in her Halloween onesies and home-made by me babylegs. She was soo cute. We couldn't help but take a few pics.

Pumpkins Anyone

Halloween and Fall is a bit different in Arizona... Yes, the weather turns cool, we are finally in the 70-80 after a hellish summer. The leaves really don't turn but we were excited to get out and enjoy the weather. So our good friends the Lindstrom's and us went to the pumpkin patch for some photos of Addie and us.

Yucky Applesuace

Addison has been doing really good eating food. She however wasn't a big fan of applesauce. Our friends Ben and Jenn were over and Ben wanted to feed her. It was his first time feeding a baby, looks like he might need some more practice....

Godparents

Here is a good picture of my parents with Addie.

Baptism

Addie was Baptized in the Catholic Church on Saturday, October 13th, which was also her 6th month birthday. My parents are Addison's Godparents. There were many special people who came to the ceremony, including her paternal grandfather, Ron Smith.

Halloween Preview

Yep, this should do the trick to get lots of candy....

Rice Cereal anyone....

Addie has started solids, if you can call them that. We started with rice cereal. She has also added peas into her repertoire. I think avocado will be next since they are still in season.

Getting around

Here are a few pictures of Addie. She is scooting around and rolling all over the place. I put her on ablanket on the floor and when I went back in her room she had moved about 5 feet over the blanket...

Go Cubbies

My favorite cousins Mike and Jen got her a few Cubs outfits as a baby gift. She finally can wear them... She is soo cute:)
