A Big Accomplishment....

Addyson ate off of a plate for the first time without it going in the floor! I was so proud of her. She picked it up one time and after that she didn't touch it any more. She is becoming such a big girl!

(Sorry the picture is so bad it is from my cell phone)

Best Consignment Purchase Yet....

Addy is turning on the light...

She loves her house...

The crazy line to get into the pre-sale of the consignment...

When I went consignment shopping last week I found this awesome learning house for Addy. She loves it so much. She will play with this for hours. It has also taught her to turn the light on and off. When we were at the doctors office today back in the room she was turning the lights on and off! I have been looking at these in the stores and they are $80!! I only paid $15 for this one and it is BRAND SPANKIN NEW!!! I also got Addy a new pair of Puddle Jumper brown shoes with pink polka dots for $12 that also look brand new (regular price $45).Those are just some of the wonderful deals that we got at consignment. They are definitely worth it even if you have to stand in line for an hour and a half before the pre-sale and wait in line for 45 minutes. It is totally worth it.

11 Months Old...

• Her two favorite things to eat is watermelon and Mandarin oranges.





• She loves playing in the bath tub.





• She got her first ear infection and had to be on antibiotics





• She loves her Daddy so, so much.





• She moved into a big girl car seat and loves it!





• She loves on her babies all the time





• She will hand you something if you ask for it





• She cut her first tooth.... FINALLY!

Addyson with her new doll from Dean and Wanda....

We had such a full day today. We got up this morning and went to church and then we went to moms for lunch today! We had a ton of GOOD food and some GOOD conversation. Mom made chicken and dressing roast, potatos, and carrots, fresh corn, mac and cheese and rolls. Bri made an awesome broccoli caserole and Patty made some really yummy potatos. Sherrill and I made the same desert holy cow cake. They both were really good! Everybody enjoyed playing the Wii, including Sherrill and Patty. : ) We all had a really good time today and ate some really good food.

We left moms and went back to church. Dean and Wanda got Addyson a prize while they were in Alaska. They brought her an Alaskan baby! She loved it. She was kissing all over her. Thank you Dean and Wanda.

You know I always say " some of the best times are the times spent with family and friends!"

Our week at a glance....

She Almost Made It

We almost made it to a year old without any antibiotics! We went to the doctor today to find that Addy was not just teething, she also had a double ear infection! The doctor said that only 10% of babies make it to their first birthday without being on a round of antibiotics. That is a crazy percentage. Hopefully this is not the beginning of a plethora of ear infections.

Finally...

Well Addyson has finally started teething. Her bottom front teeth have been trying to come in for quite some time. They are almost through the gums and you can feel the points on them. She woke up this morning around 4:00am with her teeth hurting her. I gave her some Tylenol and she finally went back to bed around 6:45am. I was working today of all days and when I called her Nanna around 11:00am she was still sleeping. Hopefully my sweet baby girl ( and Mommy and Daddy) will sleep a little better tonight.

Time....

Time has just gotten away from us... It just seems like yesterday that Jimmy and I made the desision to spend the rest of our lives together... it seems like yesterday that I came running down the hallway to tell my husband that he was going to be a daddy... it seems just like yesterday that our sweet baby girl was born... Our family has grown in so many ways since the day Jimmy and I were married, physically and mentally. Our lives have been so blessed over the past two years that I cannot even begin to tell you! Everything happens in Gods time.... He is so amazing!

Discovering the Dryer....

Last night we were at Nana and Pa's house getting ready for the garage sale today. After we were finished Nana was putting some laundry in the dryer. Our dryer at our house is out in the garage so Addyson has never really has not had anything to do with it. She crawled in the laundry room and started helping Nana put the laundry in the dryer. It was the cutest thing ever! She just loves laundry so much. She helps me with folding laundry all the time. (AKA unfolding!)
