Walking...

Yes, this happened over the Christmas holiday...

At 10 months, our baby girl was walking!!!

Happy Birthday Addison: 11 months

Dearest Addison Kate,

On January 2 you turned 11 months old. We canNOT believe that your one year birthday is in less than a month. You are growing up so fast and have learned how to do quite a few things this month.

You are walking more and more...still having the occasional fall, but you love to walk on your own and explore.

You have four teeth and one molar that is trying to make its debut. 

Kodi is your new best friend!! You've discovered that he likes eating Puffs just as must as you do and you love sharing a few with him when you have a snack. 

You give the best hugs and you like to love on your dolls, Snoopy, and Kodi. 

We've started brushing your teeth with a real toothbrush and you would literally stay tin the bathroom for an hour brushing your teeth if we would let you. 

Your getting so tall and are slimming up. We aren't sure of your weight just yet, but we have your 1 year check up next month. Where in the world has the time gone?!?!?!?

Happy 11 month birthday sweet Addi Kate!!!

We love you MORE than the world!!!

Christmas Morning 2013...

Christmas was an extra special day for our family...we got to share the holiday with our most prized possession, Addison. On Christmas morning we read Addi the note that Santa left for her...

And then we showed her what Santa had left for her this year...a pink car and a Radio Flyer Wagon!!!

I think it's safe to say that your pink car was definitely a hit this Christmas...

Then we opened gifts from Mommy and Daddy. She didn't really understand why she was opening gifts, but she sure enjoyed all the neat surprises she found in each box. One of her favorite toys was this remote control from Uncle Mike, Aunt Sue, and Cousin Mikey...

Our little girl is already practicing for the rodeo on her rockin' horse from her great grandmother and great uncle in Texas...

And she can't wait until Jilly and Pops install her new swing at  Ponderville!!! 

And the baby stroller in the background came from D-ma and you LOVE pushing your dolls around in it.

Addison received another Radio Flyer Wagon...but this one will stay at Ponderville so we can pull her around when we are visiting...

And yes, it has her name on the side of the wagon :)

This first Christmas was better than I ever could have imagined and I just know that each Christmas will be just as perfect with our sweet little miracle baby.

The End of Missy's Visit...

These are the final pictures from Missy Mistletoe's visit this December. 

Addison will definitely miss her but we are looking forward to her return next year!

Missy Mistletoe Continued...

Here are more pictures from our sweet Missy Mistletoe's visit...

Missy is having so much fun teaching Addison all about being a good little girl!

Some of Addi's Christmas Firsts...

This Christmas was full of "firsts" for Addi Kate. It is so much fun to see Christmas through the eyes of a child.

We wanted to make sure Addison had a special 1st Christmas Ornament for our tree. We found this unique ornament, had it personalized and added the year on the back.

We also made sure to take a picture of Addi's first Christmas tree...

Seeing those THREE stockings on our mantel is still one of my favorite things :)

We also took our annual Christmas Lights Adventure with Jilly and Pops. It's safe to say that Addison LOVES Christmas lights...

We love sharing all these "firsts" with our girl.

10 Month Birthday Hat

I am WAY late with posting Addison's 10 month birthday hat, especially since she's already 11 months old!!!  But I guess it's better late than never. Here is my cutie with her 10 month hat...

She was a lot more cooperative this month, so I think she must be getting use to her crazy Momma's idea :)
