Addison's Play Date with Kate

Addison and her sweet friend, Kate decided to have a play date (Kate called us up...haha). Kate was born one day before Addison in the same hospital. So it's neat to see the two of them together since they're so close in age. It's amazing to see how much they have changed since the last time they were together.

Finishing out the weekend

After we got back from the MS walk, I decided that we needed to do some yard work. Jordan and I have always wanted to make the flower beds around our trees in the front yard smaller, so we took on that feat. I don't know if we knew exactly what we were getting into. My mom and I were very sore on Monday. So we got the flowers beds moved and some plants planted just in time for spring/summer. I love the new flower beds! Thanks Mom for all of your help! I have to say, you're in really good shape. Addison just loved being outside and playing in her wagon (confinement). Grandaddy and Papa - I think she's ready for her first motorcycle ride.

On to Sunday. We finally finished the yard, and then at 4:00p we had 1st Birthday pictures for Addison in Frisco. So we got her all ready and packed up the car and headed to Frisco to meet Kellie (www.kddiditphotography.com). Addison did well for about 20 minutes and then she had enough of that.

Whew. Thanks to Jordan and my mom we were able to get all of that accomplished. I feel so blessed to have such a loving, caring family.

Enjoying the Outside

We accomplished quite a bit this past weekend. Saturday morning everyone (Jordan, Addison, my mom and me) got up early and went and did the MS Walk in Addison to support my sister in-law and her mother, which both have MS. It was a beautiful day to do the walk, besides the wind.

We made it - We finished the walk

New Boston

This past weekend was Addison's first time to stay with my parents overnight without us. Of course before we left, Addison had a doctor's appointment on Friday to check out her runny because I wanted to make sure she had meds if she was sick before we left her with my parents. Jordan takes her to her appointment and calls me to tell me that she has strep throat again and allergies. Wow. We packed up the car on Friday afternoon and headed to New Boston. We hadn't been back to New Boston since Christmas, so I was super excited to see my family. Jordan and I stayed till Sunday and then packed up and came back to Dallas. Addison stayed with my mom and dad until Tuesday. According to my mom, she had a really good time. I'll let you decide from the pictures.

I love this baby girl

Constantly on the go

Addison is constantly on the go, so it's hard to get a picture of her without it being blurry because of movement. I haven't been very good at posting pictures lately, and I've decided that I've got to do a better job. My family deserves it. Thank goodness for Skype and the blog, because my family wouldn't believe how fast Addison has grown without proof.

Addison is walking/cruising everywhere. Thanks to her Aunt Mandy, Uncle TW, and cousin William she has a great walker (baby stroller). We put a baby doll in it and she pushes it around the living room. Her favorite thing to do is press the music button on the bear's belly. She grins (like the photo) every time she hears it.

I call this her "granny without teeth smile"

"See my 2 teeth?"

It was so nice one weekend, I rolled her high chair onto the back porch for snack time.

So who's going to get a piece of food first? Addison or Buddy? This is a normal occurence
