This is a video of Addison feeding herself lunch. She had turkey sticks, mac-n-cheese, green beans, and bananas. She did so well and fed the whole thing to herself. She's growing up so fast. She turned 9 months on Monday and its like she went through a transformation. She seems to be more content and can occupy herself some. She has 4 teeth now and pretty much smile's constantly. She's kind of turned into a snuggler too which I LOVE!! All of this has happened just in the last 3 to 4 days! I LOVE my baby girl!!!

This is how I find Addison every morning and after every nap. As soon as she sees me the crying immediately turns into a smile. :)




Addison has said her first word...Bye Bye. She knows how to wave and if you wave at her, she will wave back and say Bye Bye. Of course, since that is all she can say she says it all the time. So, we are constantly waving and saying Bye Bye.

8 months old!

Addison is now 8 months old. She finally has two teeth and will wave at you if you say "bye bye." I'm constantly working on her to say mama but all she knows to say yet is ba ba ba ba. She is working on her balance while standing and getting better every day.


I LOVE this one. That smile gets me everytime.


We've been having some separation anxiety problems lately. She's not sleeping well day or night. This is how I found her one afternoon. I went in to check on her after the crying had finally stopped and she had literally just fallen over. Poor girl...this is hard on her and mommy. :(

Addison's 1st Easter

We had a wonderful Easter in Pauls Valley with my parents and Angela and Tyler. Addison enjoyed playing with her easter basket full of eggs.

Here are a couple of videos of Addison crawling. She's going all over the house now and pulling up on pretty much anything. That is an 18 month sleeper she has on.

5 months old!

Addison is 5 months old today. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I was commenting at lunch today about how she went from being completely helpless to noticing everything around her and having a personality of her own in what seemed like just a few days. She watches everything and everyone around her and wants to be in the middle of it all. She LOVES to talk and squeal, especially in the middle of church when it's quiet...hehe.  She is also learning things very quickly. She can almost put her pacie in by herself, she can hold her bottle (most of the time) by herself, and she's getting very close to crawling. She wants to be on the move so badly!! The love I have for her is completely indescribable. I miss her when I'm away from her for just a few short hours and I often just sit and admire her when I'm home with her. She is absolutely amazing and God truly blessed my life when he gave her to me. I love you sweet girl.

Here are some pictures from each month from 1-5 so you can see how she has grown and changed.



The first picture was taken just a few hours after she was born. The second one is day 2 in the hospital.

This is Addison's 1 month picture

This is her 2 month picture

These are her 3 month pictures

Here are her 4 month pics

And finally, here are her 5 month pictures. Such a big girl. :)

Baby Addison

Here are a couple of the 4D pictures we got from our ultrasound. I posted the second one because this is basically all we saw. She had her hands and feet in her face the entire time (along with the cord at times). This paticular picture looked as though she was scratching her forehead w/ her toes. Look at the foot...she is going to have her daddy's feet!
