12 month doctor's appointment

We took Addison for her 12 month appointment, I can't believe how old she is now and how big she is. She wasnt feeling well during this appointment, and you can tell by her lack of smiling or even wanting to look at the camera. 

Her strawberry birthmark is looking lighter but still about the same size 

Poor baby didnt feel good 

This was my sick girl for about a week after that :( 

12 Months!!

We made it! Our beautiful little girl in one! She has grown and changed so incredibly much and it feels like it has just flown by. On one hand we feel like she has always been with us and we can't remember a time when she wasn't in our lives, and then we just feel like this last year was so fast and quick. Just reminds me to focus on spending more time together as a family and continue to cherish all those beautiful moments. 

12 Month Milestones: 

-loves peek-a-boo like all the time, everyday

-now has 4 teeth 

-will wear shoes now and walk with them instead of just standing still and waiting for us to take them off

-talks all the time- says duck, book, mama, and cookie clearly but then babbles and uses half words the rest of the time

-still sleeping like a big girl

-loves dancing and listening to music 

-size 4 diapers, and can fit into 18 month clothes 

-will try all different kinds of food 

-will shove her pacifier in her eye when she is sleepy

-still the most wonderful, beautiful, fantastic, adorable, smart, and delightful baby ever!! 

Adam and Addison's Birthday

So ideally, I was going to put all these really cute pink balloons in Addie's crib and we would take adorable pictures. Turns out Addie is deathly afraid of balloons, I mean I have never seen this girl so scared. But here is the morning of these 2 wonderful peoples birthday!!

Addie got a package from her grandparents and played in the morning. 

She loved this drum and just kept dancing to it all day! 

Adam came home from work and they both opened some presents. 

Happy girl!! 

Birthday Twins! 

We decided to go to Build a Bear and make Addie a birthday bear. She loves stuffed animals and really what else can you do with a one year old??

checking out the options...

watching the stuffing and filling up her bear 

picking out the heart to go inside 

She loved her bear and just kept snuggling it and giving it kisses 

We then decided to go to the park and hang out. Then I got the cutest pictures of this happy birthday girl!  

She was playing peek a boo with her dad 

It was a perfect day. Happy Birthday to the most wonderful people and the best baby and daddy. I love that they can share their birthdays and we could have so many smiles and love. Addison is truly the best birthday present and is so amazing. We survived as parents for an entire year! We made it! She is still happy and healthy and we can't wait for what the next year brings us.
