St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day! We had fun doing a whole lot of crawling around. Addison is so mobile and I love it. Anywhere I go, she wants to go too. She smiles a lot and loves to be where people are and rarely hold stills. She is 9 months old next week and I can't believe how much she has changed since day one. Her hair has a red tint to it and her eyes are bright blue. She has two teeth, LOVES to eat cheerios and feed herself. She is the funnest, hardest, and best thing to ever come into my life. My life has done a complete 180 since this little one entered into this world and we LOVE HER!!!!

Sun

This has been a week of sleepless nights, runny noses, double ear infections, and some drooling. So we thought we would get out and enjoy some good old Vitamin D. I can't wait for Spring.

Everything, including the camera, goes in the mouth.
Crawling.

Halloween and the Move

Let the posts about the holidays begin. I didn't dress Addison up very well for Halloween because I knew she would be asleep for it and costumes are EXPENSIVE. So we bought her a little kitty outfit. It came with a kitty bib which came in very several times throughout the ward Halloween party. So the outfit couldn't have been more perfect.

Here is a picture of the little kitty tail and the bald spot forming on the back of her head.

And here she is sucking her thumb.
Right before Thanksgiving we moved...into our first house! It was kind of sad to leave my grandpa's newly remodeled basement but it the time was right for us to move.
Here are pictures of our very first house!! These aren't pictures I took but they were pictures taken by the previous owner when it was for sale.

Addison's Room.

We LOVE the new house and love the neighborhood. The house is still in a process of decoration (which may take years) but it will be a great place to raise our family!

Old House...New

Well four months after the remodel started my grandpa's basement was finished! It was amazing. It was like a whole new house. Here are a few pictures with my amazing picture taking skills.

My favorite part was the new bathroom! There was a tub for the baby and enough room on the toilet so my legs didn't touch the wall.
The wall where our old bathroom door used to be.

No more wood burning stove and no more wood paneling. A miracle.

Valentines

We had a fun little family filled day on Valentines. Brighton took the day off work and made Addison and I valentine waffles. We then at the last of the sugar cookies I made and...discovered that Addison had her first tooth! I was feeding her some good old sweet potatoes when I noticed it in her mouth. Her first tooth came in and I didn't even notice. We got lucky with that one. Knock on wood, I hope teething is this easy with every tooth. I spent the rest of the day so proud that my baby girl had a tooth I forgot to take any more pictures. Well Happy Valentines Day!

Closer

Since both of my children took naps today, I was able to catch up on some of my blog posts. I am almost caught up to 2012. I can't believe it. I am getting closer and closer!!!! 5 new posts below. Enjoy.

September 29th...Connor

A few days after Ryker was born Addison had another cousin born. Connor Schofield. She now has two cousins on the Pierce side her same age. Two more (boys) will be coming in May. We are going to have to teach Addison how to push some boys around. :)

We didn't go visit Connor in the hospital because Brighton had a terrible cough but we went a week later. In each picture Brighton looks more and more overwhelmed as Connor starts to cry and as more kids gather around to look at the babies. It is kind of funny.

Addison wasn't even phased one bit. Boys.
