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. 

Cousins

We had the privilege of having my brother and sister in law spend some time at our house while they were here in Utah. Addison loved having other little people around and loved being around cousins. We are glad they came down and miss them now that they are gone!

St. George

We were lucky enough to be able to have my entire family join us in a vacation to St. George. I find myself busier with a child (imagine that) so I don't have as many pictures as I would have liked, but I did get some fun ones. Addison was such a trooper and did fabulous traveling and took great naps most of time. She loved seeing her cousins and loved swimming in the pool. I was grateful to have everyone there and can't wait to do it again!!

Tired after a long day. Gotta love the sunblock caked on.

11 months

Today Addison is 11 months old!! I can't believe it. That has been the fastest and slowest 11 months of my life. Every day is changing and I love, love, love seeing life through Addison's eyes. She sleeps like a champ, eats solid food like a champ, does not like her bottle very much, loves to be where I am at, pulls herself up on everything, loves to watch and play with other little kids, never stops talking (unless her thumb is in her mouth), has the cutest laugh, and loves to growl at her dad. She has 4 teeth, soon to be five, still crazy bright blue eyes (every where we go she always gets at least one comment about how bright and big her eyes are), and still has red peach fuzz hair. She brings out the best in me and I am so grateful every day of my life that she is my little girl. Happy 11 months Addison!!!
