Love Her

I am not sure exactly when I took these pictures but they bring a smile to my face. We were having pizza one night (one that AJ helped me make) and AJ decided she wanted her picture taken. She just kept saying "cheese", "cheese". So I decided to pull out my phone and take some pictures. This little one has my whole heart and I love her to death.  

 

A Party Here

Addison has had a cold the last couple of days and has been teething so her sleep has been a little off. Normally she sleeps from 9 pm to 7:30 am but decided to wake up at 6 am today. She lounged around for a bit and then discovered a toy she hasn't seen in months. Her microphone! She quickly put on her glasses and started jamming out. I was watching a neighbors little girl this morning and Addison would sing into the mic and then hold it out for the l4 month old to sing into. We were having a party in our jammies at 7:00 o'clock this morning. What more could you ask for if you are going to be up that early.

 

A New Year, New Adventures

We went to our very first movie together as a family! We had been showing Addison the clip of "Let it Go" from Frozen, on YouTube, and she was loving it. So we decided to brave the idea of taking her to a theatre and she sat during 90% of the movie. The last ten minutes she stood up but she didn't want to leave. She did great. And she loved the movie so much that she cried when we left. We loved the movie and loved taking our little girl out with us. It is amazing to see how much she is growing up!

Growing Up

I love this stage of life. Addison picks up so many new things and is learning how to do new things all the time. She likes to open and close doors, put things in containers and take things out, turn on and off lights, put on and off necklaces, turn on and off my computer (although I hate that one), unroll toilet paper, and many other things.

The newest thing she loves to do is pull things behind her. She would pull our shoes and diaper bag behind her everywhere so we decided to tie a rope onto a toy and see if she liked that. It was a great idea because it entertained her for hours! She dragged it everywhere and we have now since tied a rope onto many other things. 

 

I love how simple things make her so happy! 

Almost One

A couple of weeks before Addison turned one we got her 1YR pictures done. The week of her birthday is a little crazy with Brighton's birthday, My Dad's birthday, Father's Day and then her birthday. So we got them done a little early. I can't believe how much she has changed in a year and can't wait to celebrate her birthday!

New Loves

Addison has learned to pull herself up on things and tries to climb up our banister all the time. It is so cute to see her determination. Maybe someday....

Addison loves books. She loves to turn the pages and talk to herself while looking at the pictures.

I turned on the baby channel one morning to see what they would put on such a channel. I think Addison liked it? She did not move for like 5 min. I couldn't help but laugh.

Spaghetti

Addison LOVES to eat spaghetti. She would eat it at every meal if I let her. She has figured out to suck the noodles in and loves the grab the really long noodles and eat those first. Unfortunately it is a VERY messy meal so usually right after a spaghetti dinner, it means bath time. And she loves that almost as much as spaghetti.
