Addison- 10 months

My sweet girl,


You are sunshine for us on these dreary days. You always have such a precious smile and the cutest giggle. I wish I could just bottle you up at this age and keep you just like this forever. But, I will just have to rely on this blog, photos and the memories I try to etch in my heart.



We love you, little bit!

Addison...you:
* weigh 18 lbs
* are 28 inches long
* wear size 3 diapers
* still wear size 9 month clothes mostly, but a few 12 month
* have learned the sign language for "more", "please", "thank you"; you aren't quite sure when to use it without prompting, but you will do it when we say the words
* point at everything wanting us to tell you what the name of it is
* babble all the time
* crawl everywhere and get into everything
* love chasing Audrey around the house
* smile and laugh anytime Audrey comes around you
* love eating books
* have 6 teeth and more on the way
* still take your socks and shoes off within seconds of Mommy putting them on you
* are still scared of all animals

Magnet Madness

She loves spending the majority of her days like this...

Playing with the magnets (given to Audrey for Christmas) on the refrigerator.

I'm so glad she can entertain herself...but it makes me so nervous when she attempts to stand up with those slippery footed pjs on the tile.

Obviously, it doesn't bother her one bit! :)

Play That Funky Music...

This child knows how to ham it up!



And how to boogy!



And gets so excited when she plays "that funky music".



Of course, we all get a kick out of it too!

How Does It Work?

I love watching their inquisitive minds at work.



And it certainly helps that it keeps them entertained for quite some time. :)

Masterpiece Blessings

This sweet girl loves to create masterpieces.



And she works very carefully and diligently.

Then insists on giving it away. Usually to her mommy or daddy.

This child has the biggest heart of anyone I know.

Princess, Pajamas and Peek-a-Boo Blessings

I love days when you don't have to get out of your pajamas...unless you want to be a princess.






Playing Peek-a-Boo in pajamas...blessings!

New Year's Day 2011

Happy New Year! I'm praying that 2011 will hold as many wonderful moments and blessings as 2010 had for us. What an amazing year! Yes it had its valleys, but so many more miracles and blessings! And I pray that this new year has many blessings in store for my family and friends, too.


This year I am challenging myself to do a little Project Life- my style. I will attempt to take a picture every day or at least a few each week and post about it. I want to do this, not only because I LOVE taking pictures...but because I also want to focus on the "little" blessings in my life daily. And what better way to do that than to have to look for them.



So here goes...



Happy New Year!

Spending time with Daddy blessings...playing the Wii


Playing all day blessings...
