FYI

Just so everyone knows...Addy is cutting her 7th tooth! Her gums are also swollen around the molar area and I am hoping they all will pop at once like weeds. I am ready for this teething thing to be over!! She, however, is completely unphased by it. By the time her birthday rolls around, she will have enough teeth to eat her cake and then some. She won't have anything on me when she turns the big 1...I had 12 teeth at my first birthday!! :)

Going to Caden's house

Adam and I and some other friends of ours, Ashley and Garrett, decided to go and visit our friends, Kyle and Courtney, in south Georgia. They had moved there this past summer and we all decided to make a trip out of it. Kyle and Courtney have a little boy named Caden and he is a doll! Caden is exactly one month younger than Addyson and we all were excited to see them.

I told you he was a cutie!!

Kickin' it with Ashley.

Look at that face!

Courtney and Caden Carter. I couldn't get a pic of him looking at the camera.

Addy was always in the bathroom when Caden took a bath and always played Peek-a-Boo with the shower curtain.

Unfortunately, the ride home wasn't quite as fun considering Addy got sick. But all in all, we were glad to spend time with our friends! We miss them already!!

Addy's First Christmas

This was Addyson's first Christmas and to be honest, she wasn't too excited. When she got a gift, she just looked at it and then move on. Christmas came and went pretty fast and I am sure that Addy was not phased at all. However, Adam and I were completely worn out. Our Christmas went as follows: Christmas Eve we first went to my grandparent's, which is a family tradition; then off to my mom and dad's (since most of the time my dad has to work Christmas Day), then Christmas Day is spent with Adam's family. Needless to say, we all slept great that week!

Addyson was a little confused when it came to opening gifts. She didn't understand the concept. I would start off by ripping some wrapping paper and then hoping she would finish it. That wasn't the case. She just kinda stared at it until I would unwrap it and then she would want the toy to be opened immediately.

Here is me and Addy at my grandparents' on Christmas Eve.

Here is Addy at Mimi and Pappaw's with all of the gifts in sight.

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!
