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. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

My lovely little girl had her first Valentine;s Day. She got gifts from her cute little friends at daycare...she is gonna be a heartbreaker, I can already tell. So we tried to make some Valentine's gifts for the grandparents...I blame Pinterest for giving me ideas, which of course will never work out. This is what I was trying to make...

This is what really happened...

we dipped our toes in paint

you can see the paint all over me while doing this

and then it got all over her

paint everywhere!! 

I will say she just had fun during the whole thing, it was just the messiest thing I have done by far with her. 

I kept asking Adam to help and he just laughed and kept taking pictures of the whole thing 

These little footprints all over the kitchen

you can see the level of messy 

she managed to grab on to me at one point, the red makes it look scary

And this was my darling little girl on Valentine's Day. She is the cutest!! 

11 Months Old!

Its so hard to believe that in just one month she will be a year old. I think back to this time last year and how different our lives were. We were just getting ready to meet this beautiful little girl and the past 11 months have been wonderful playing with her, getting to know her, teaching her, and loving her.
