Blackberries, my favorite

Addison will eat anything!! She loves bananas, pears, apples, and all berries. Here is eating her favorite. I also think she might have been eating some cream cheese as well.

New Friends

Our friends, Dave and Carrie had a baby girl about 2 months ago. Her name is Sydney, and she is a super sweet baby. Here is a picture of the Daddys and the girls.

It's funny because last time we visited them, Addison had a fit when I would hold Sydney. This time she was better. Maybe she knows that her time is getting short being an only child.

What BIG teeth you have....

Finally, I was able to get a pictures showing all of her teeth....

Walking

A girl's dream... Or at least Addison's

With Addison being able to walk, all sorts of things are now in her reach that used to be untouchable. Well, I left the Goldfish alittle too close to the edge of the kitchen table and she got them.... She would have eaten all of them if I would have let her.

More Birthday Pics

Grandma helped Mommy make my princess outfit for the highchair.


"Aunt" Jenn made Addison her 1st birthday hat.. So Cute.


I love cake!!!!!!!

~~Happy 1st Birthday~~

First cake - Family party

Its a shame I didn't get any pictures of Uncle Doug and his family with Addison.

Addie's BIG News

As you might be able to guess from Addie's sign, She will be a big sister sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas!! We found out on Easter morning.... What did the Easter bunny bring you??? I got a positive pregnancy test :) We are super excited but also super sick. I have been VERY puking feeling since the day we found out and hope that the first trimester will be over sooner than later.

Sorry for the delay....

Sorry for the delay.. We have had LOTS going on...

Monkey Girl

This is Addison's favorite toy. These picture are from when Auntie CeCe and Lyndsey were babysitting Addison on Monday.

1st Easter

This is the last holiday that was Addison's first. It was really fun. We went to the Lindstrom's for Easter lunch. We also had an Easter egg hunt, which for 1 year old babies, means that just putting them in the grass and letting them crawl for them. Here are some pictures of our AWESOME day.

Bunny Cake version 2.0

Some of you may know that my Mom makes me a bunny cake each year. It is a one dimensional cake, made out of 2 - 9" rounds. Well, I saw this pan at William Sonoma and had to have it!!!! THIS IS THE NEW BUNNY CAKE!!! Its is 3 dimensional.. Not to out do my Mom, its more like taking it to the next level...

Going for a spin...

Thank goodness for family

I had a networking party to go to for Back to Basics Tutoring on Friday. Robert was out of town, so I thought I was going to have to miss it. BUT NO.. My awesome cousins that just moved her totally rescued me. Krissi and her daughter Lyndsey came over and watched Addison. Her are a couple of pictures from there fun night together.

Peek a boo...sort of :)

Here is Addie playing peek a boo.. See not so good at covering up her eyes, sometimes it her hair or nose.Silly girly!!



Also, today is Addison's 11 month birthday!! Next month she will a year old! I can't even believe it.

Just cuz she is so cute..

Zoo

We took a family trip to the zoo with the Lindstroms. We have a family pass, so its nice we can go for a few hours and not feel like we have to be there all day. Here is Addie and Daddy in her Ergo carrier.


Here are the cutest monkeys in the world. It's an open exhibit, so the monkeys are not in cages and can totally come up to you. The usually hang out on these ropes that are in the enclosure.



It's a really great zoo, its rated as a one of the top five zoos for children.

Shammy Shammy

This is what our family would say when we were naked as little kids. Addie wasn't too excited to have her diaper changed. So I let her play for a bit in the buff.

Great Grandma and Addie

We went to CA to see Robert's family and her is a pic of Addie and her Great Grandma Mary. How does Addie always know when someone is taking a picture of her...:)

A New kind of walker

Here is Addie push around the garbage can. She can't walk on her own yet, but this seems to do the trick. She pushed it around most of the afternoon. It was too funny.

Bubbles

Here is Addie playing with bubbles. This was the first time she played with them. It was pretty cute, she was amazed that they disappeared.

Happy Valentine's Day

Addison received this little dragon named "Bernice", as part of her Valentine's Day present. She loves it...

80 degrees and lovin' it !!!

Here is Addie at Grandma and Pop-pop's house in Indio. It was really warm there this weekend. SO she enjoyed her biter-biscuit outside, where we could hose her off when she was done. She makes such a mess... Which makes for really great pictures :)

Happy Birthday Great-Grand!!

Robert, Addison and I went to Hemet, CA this weekend to help Grand celebrate her 90th Birthday. The church that she belongs to had a really nice party for her. We got to see a lot relatives that we usually don't get to see. Addison also got to spend some time with her Grandpa Smith and her Auntie, which she also loves.

Dog dish or my own splash bowl

Daddy is always fun!!

Here is a video of the TP

I love paper, toliet paper that is ....

I walked in and this is what I saw...

9 month checkup

The day after her Dr apt for her cold, she had her 9 month checkup. She weighs 18 1/2 lbs, and is 28 1/2 long. She is doing well, and doesn't have another check up until after she turns one.

Our medical insurance changed due to Robert's work. So out pediatrician isn't on our new insurance, so we decided that we would just pay out of pocket to keep seeing him. WE really llike him, he explains everything and is very personalble. And when we told him what was going on with our insurance, he made us a deal. He is only going to charge us $30 for an office visit!! We loved him before and now we really love him. Its nice to meet people that willing to help other people out.

Poor Baby

Poor Addie has been sick for over a week. She had a fever of 102.5 and was really congested. I called the Dr on Sunday night and he said to give her Tylenol and to bring her in the next morning. Her lungs sound cleared and she just had to let the virus take its course. So all week we have been giving her Tylenol and running the humidifier at night. She is feeling better, be still has a NASTY cough. I assume that will linger on for a few weeks. Robert and I were really scared for her, especially at night. She just was so unhappy and HOT. But during the day, she was almost her normal self.

She finally got some...

Here is the best shot of the teeth, I can get. She has two of them. The first finally broke thru on her 8th month bithday and she got the 2nd one the day after Christmas. (If you click on the picture it will get bigger so you can actually see the teeth in the first picture.)

Happy New Year

After a big night of partying, we all laid around in our jammies on New Year's Day. Notice the one hand holding on... In my mind, I keep hearing myself say to her, "Two hands Addison, Two hands!" You can see, she is already not listening :)
