I forgot to put these pictures in yesterday. When Daddy was feeding Addison dinner the other night, she was so exhausted she fell asleep in her highchair. I love the picture with Abbi staring at her. Notice the picture with the words "Give Thanks" in the background. Some days we just have to "Give Thanks" for quiet time!!!
I know I do!

Catch Up Day for Mommy!!!

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks. Addison and her cousin were having the best time the other day. They were looking through the fish tank and laughing at each other. The next picture is Addison shoving french fries in her mouth. I guess I need to feed her more!!! The next picture is Addison eating her blueberry pancakes- we have these every Saturday morning. The final two pictures are Addison's house that Nanna and Pop gave her as an early birthday present. Pop came over and built it and Addison has loved it ever since.

Shopping

Andrea and I took the girls shopping last week and only had one stroller. So we decided that they could share! It was so cute watching them in the stroller together. Delayna just chilled in the back while Addison sat up looking at everything. The second picture is of the girls watching a movie at Gymboree. We had a fun day!

Addison's cousin spent the night the other day and they had so much fun! Here they are eating dinner at Addison's little table.




If any of you were at my wedding, you would have heard Pastor Gary talking about the way I use to dress as a young child. Well, apparently Addison has inherited that wonderful trait from me. Here she is wearing a frog costume and her pink shoes. She put the shoes on all by herself. She's a mess!!!

Check This Out!!!

Summer Fun

We have had such a good summer! Addison has really enjoyed Mommy being home with her for almost 2 months. Here are some recent pictures of what she enjoyed this week.

New and interesting toys,

Popsicles on the swing,

Swimming in her pool,

Eating cookies and getting chocolate all over her mouth,

And making a funny face for Mommy while I take a picture of her piggy tails!

Two weeks later . . . she likes the water and the sand!!!

Beach Vacation

This is what Addison was doing as I was packing for our beach vacation.  She decided to dress herself!  Now I put the tutu on her because she pitch a huge fit.  But she did the shoes.  Crazy girl!

This same day, we went to church to celebrate the week we had at VBS.  She had a great time playing in the water.

Now we are on our way to the beach and Addison is playing with her "jewelry".

Mommy gave her a cookie to enjoy.  She took the cookie apart and ate the icing then ditched the cookie.

This was Addison's first time on the beach since last year.  She was less than happy.  Little did we know that she didn't like the sand or the water!!!  Not a good combination when you are at the beach for 2 weeks.

Daddy to the rescue!

This is where Addison feels the most comfortable.  In her stroller, buckling herself in.

Whatever works!!!

NEMO

We went to the Disney Store so Addison could have her very own Nemo toy. When we arrived, I gave her a Nemo and told her to pick another friend to take home, since they were running a sale on the stuffed characters. She really wanted two Nemo's, but mean Mommy wouldn't buy two Nemo's. After careful consideration of the other characters, Addison finally chose something else. Five minutes later, Minnie Mouse became her second best friend.

When I put her to bed tonight, She only had Pink Bear and Ca with her. A few minutes after I left the room, she decided she wanted Nemo as well. So, I gave her Nemo. Immediately after I gave her Nemo, she decided she wanted Minnie Mouse, too. So, once again, she got what she asked for. I guess she figured she was on a roll and might as well go all out, so she asked for her paci. Now, she LOVES her paci, except for the fact that she isn't allowed to have her paci anymore- mean Mommy again. I just laughed and told her no paci and she went to sleep. Hey, when you get everything you ask for, you might as well ask for anything! Atleast I said no to one item!

Addison helped Mommy decorate Daddy's Father's Day cake on Saturday night. She loves cake and when she saw what we were about to do, she flipped! If you look at her right hand, you'll see a cupcake. I had one cupcake sitting off to the side and Addison thought she should eat it. As I was taking pictures, I noticed that I got some frosting on the camera. So as I went to get something to clean it off, Addison decided to take the tube frosting and taste it. She was a little wired that night, but Daddy was so happy to see his cupcakes and cake, as well as the decorating pictures.






Hooray for CAKE!!!!!!!
