A new task

Occupying Addyson while changing her diaper is a new task for Adam and I. She constantly wants to squirm away and just run around the house with no diaper (which is cute, but I know one day an accident will happen). Adam and I have established a rule now that states: "No naked booties in the living room!" We tend to laugh after we say it to her. It is just our way of having fun while trying to do something that has recently become complicated. And I am not one to brag and I know I am bias, but my girl has the cutest, tan butt that I have ever seen! But anyways, changing a diaper and putting her to sleep is our only two hard tasks at this point, then I will take it!

I am occupying her with the camera!

What a silly girl!

Addyson's new dress

Nana got Addy a red velvet dress for church along with new black shoes. I will keep this blog short and let the pictures do the telling of how beautiful my lil princess is!

New sitting arrangement

Addyson has this fasination of sitting on people's shoulders. I am sure all kids do, but Addy gets a big kick out of it. Here she is sitting on Ashley's shoulders. The problem is that she likes to slap your head or eat your hair while she is up there. Luckly, Adam doesn't have the hair pulling problem.

Here are some more random shots of her that night.

Yes, I know...

I know it's been a long time since I have posted anything on here. What can I say, life is always busy! So let's get everyone caught up. Here are Addyson's Halloween pictures. She was a Bumble Bee, but the package that it came in said "Queen Bee." In all honesty, she is the "Queen Bee"! (No thanks to the Grandparents)




Addyson was also a Pink Poodle that Courtney had gotten her before she was born. She wore that to our church's Trunk or Treat and it kept her warm that night. She ended up getting lots of candy from both nights, which Adam and I have yet to finish!

By the way, Halloween wiped us all out that night. But the following morning I had to go to work and Adam was left to babysit. Right before I left, I noticed it had gotten quiet and here is what I saw! Oh, what a day!

Addy's Dedication Sunday

Addyson's Dedication was April 30th. She was the one of six other babies that morning. The white dress she is wearing is the one I wore to my dedication 25 years ago!! It is in great shape and fit Lil Miss to a T.

Here is Pastor Sears praying over Addyson. I cried like a baby. Don't ask me why...I don't know. Just a lil emotional since I had her.

Family Photo after the dedication. What a big family huh??

Addyson first day at the pool!

Addy went swimming for the first time May 25th. Believe it or not, she swam for an hour and a half. Yes, it was a bit chilly that day, but that didn't stop the lil one from having a ball. My mom (Gigi) bought her her first bathing suit. It is a 12 month bathing suit and she fit right in it. She kicked and kicked her lil legs like crazy. My little sister Alex and my two youngest cousins were at the pool and Addyson thought that she was one of them. She went nuts anytime they jumped off the diving board or swam around her. I was afraid she would start swimming right then and there without me. I did, however, dunked Addy underwater. She didn't particularly like it, but she was a champ and didn't cry.

Finally, I knew Addyson had to be tired, so I got her out and put a dry diper on her. My grandmother, also known as Mimi, got a bottle ready for her. I knew she was tired and hungry considering the last time she ate was 11 am and it was creeping up on 5 pm. After taking two gulps of the bottle, Addy fell right to sleep! The funny thing was that she was sitting up right trying to watch everyone swim. She had a very busy day! Needless to say, I have a lil fish on my hands!
