Christmas Week

Addison loved opening her Baptismal presents while sitting on Allison's lap.

The Deacon that said the service was wonderful. The Baptism went very smooth and Addison behaved the whole time. She loved the other children at the church. It is amazing to me how excited she gets just seeing other kids. I wonder if she is trying to tell her dad and I something. hint..hint...

I am sure that she did not understand what was going on but we all enjoyed watching her open the presents. Of course, she loved playing with the wrapping and the bags more than the toys.

She has really started to love her food... We really enjoyed and appreciated everyone coming in town for Christmas and the Baptism. It is so great to have such a loving and involved family. We love you all!!! We thank everyone for making the trip and taking the time.

Almost 7 months!

Addison is loving her chair that Papaw and MiMi gave her. She just sits and hangs out. Relaxing!

She is getting so much personality. I am wondering if not to much. She is getting a little difficult to put to sleep. She wants to stay up and play. She has realized that she is missing out. Addison turns 7 months this week, how time flies.

6 and a half months!!

I don't want to give away the actual picture but we were taking Christmas Card photos today. This is my favorite outfit.

I love her smile!! She just lights up the room with her full face smile.

She is loving bath time. She can be really fussy and then the bath tub makes us all smiles. I think everyday is my favorite day but then the next day comes. I am so blessed. We are looking forward to seeing everyone over Christmas.

Our Thanksgiving Trip to Louisville (pt. 2)

Pepaw and Addison just relaxing watching TV.

They had so much fun just playing with her toys. She was very entertained with everyone playing with her. I am thinking that she might be slightly spoiled after all the attention.

Addison is such a ham. I am sure that she is starting to pose for the camera. Every time we pull out the camera she starts smiling.

All the family! It was great to see everyone although Sam gave me a horrible cold. I will get you back Sam you just wait.

Our Thanksgiving Trip to Louisville

Addy is in love with her Papaw. She followed his every move.

Mimi and Pepaw gave her a princess chair for her early Christmas present. She loves her chair. She thinks that she is big stuff when she sits in it.

This is some of Daddy and Addy time. He always puts her in the cutest outfits for them just to sit around the house. I love his choice in outfits. He loves his baby girl to look cute.

6th Month Doctor Visit

I am sorry that I have not posted any pictures this week. We have been busy girls. We went to the doctors on Wednesday for out 6th month appointment. She have us gold star!!!! Our stats:
14 lbs 13oz (40th percent)
26 3/4th inches (90th percent)
I guess that I have nothing to complain about we are growing and healthy. I have a tall skinny blond hair blue eyed baby!! Things could be worse!!

She is just getting more personality by the minute. We go for our 6 month appointment next week. We are getting excited about going to Louisville for Thanksgiving. I am a little nervous about the car ride. She likes to be moving so much now.

My first time on a swing.

Addison thought the swing was just great fun!

This is our best friend Colin's little boy Tyler. This is the first time he sat on the swing like a big boy and to think that Brandt captured it on camera.

As you can tell, Daddy liked the swings also.

She is growing up so quick. We were out visiting Brandt's Grandparents and got to visit with the Smith's an added bonus. We miss them so much. We wish they would come back everyday.

Its not so good Mom!

So Carmen fed Addison rice cereal for the first time. Lets just say Addison wasn't really a fan. First a couple picks, and then a great video.

Eating Cereal

Look how big I am!! I am sitting up all by myself at 5 months.

Mommy does not think that I could be any cuter! I love pink. Addison is getting more personality by the day. I can not believe how fast 5 months has gone and how much they grow.

We were shopping yesterday and I could not pass up a picture with the hat. They were not selling them so if anyone knows where to get a baby santa hat let me know. Addison sat up for the first time on Saturday. It was only for a minute of so but it was by herself. She is getting so big. And by the way, we do not let her watch TV!

Some more video...

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I spent much of mine taking video of Addison doing her thing.

Here we are on the couch watching TV...



Here she is showing me how to play with the exersaucer...



Here she is with Mom and Dad in her boucer....


Love, Brandt

Our first visit to the pumpkin patch! She was so cute. She loved to touch the straw. I turned around for one minute and she had a handful of straw headed for her mouth. That will teach me!

My little pumpkin

My Family!!

This one is for our wonderful Auntie in Texas. We love you and can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks. How do you like our new horse? We really like it. Addy can kind of sit in it by herself. This was one of my favorite toys as a kid so I had to get one for her.

Look what a big girl I am!!! The bumbo is helping me learn to sit up.

I do not know how I got so lucky. This is exactly how she looks all day long just smiling and happy.

She has just started making this face. I could just eat her cheeks. She has discovered how to roll to get where she wants to go. We have a large room in the basement with Brandt's office on one end and the big TV on the other. She rolled from the office to infront of the TV. She will be 5 months next Monday. I can not believe how time goes by so quick.
Auntie Lolo, All the pictures are for you!!!

Quick Hello!

Just wanted to say hey to everyone, and post a video of Addison and me playing. She's starting to laugh now and its really cool.

Brandt

Addison found her toes this week! She loves them. We thought that the fingers were entertaining.

She is just the light of my life. All day long, she just smiles at me. I can not get enough of her. I wonder everyday how I could love her more. I am not a proud mommy at all. She is rolling over all the time. Addy is now in 9 month clothing because she is so long.

Addison Rolled Over!

Addison Rolled over for the first time last wee, and it's taken me this long to figure out how to get it on my here :-). Now she does it very easily and often. Enjoy!

Look at those cheeks.

My big Girl!!! We had our 4 month doctors appointment today. Mommy cried again when Addy got shots. I have turned into a big sissy. Addy was 50th percent in weight 13lb. 12oz. and 90th percent in height 25.5inches. She is loving tummy time but is getting frustrated that she can't turn back over. She was rolling both ways last week but this week just back to front. Addy thinks she is such a big girl when she rolls over she always looks right at you with a big grin. She has slept through the night for the past couple of days. It is making me nervous when I find her in the morning on her belly.

No one can call us a boy anymore!

Yesterday, Addy started to find toys and her toes!

Addy loves her pink bear that papaw gave her!! She covered it in kisses.

She is getting so big, holding her head up is no longer a task.

Addy, in the past week, has found her toes, she is now reaching for toys above her head and is trying her hardest to roll over. She woke up this morning and immediately went for her toes. It is so neat to watch her discover new things. She will lie on her back and play with her activity mat for 45 minutes. She loves it. I wish she would slow down. It makes me sad thinking about her growing up so quick. She will be 4 months next week.

We had a big day today. We sat up in our bouncy seat and had a great time!! I can't believe how big she is getting. she is reaching for items on her activity mat when she lays on it.

Addison's getting big!!

Those big blue eyes will get you everytime!

Addison and Tucker obvious got along great!

It was the first time that Jackie and I got to visit since my wedding. A lot has happened for both of us. Jackie and her family live in a beautiful beach town on the south shore of Boston. It was a wonderful visit. They have a great view from their porch of the harbor.

I can't help but being a proud mommy. I think that she is the cutest thing on the planet. She brightens the gloomiest day. She has decided that the bottle is not such a bad thing thank goodness for mommy. It only took her two days of not eating.
