More Pictures of Our Silly Girl!

A few pictures from recent events:

Addy sliding down a box one of her birthday presents came in. She LOVED it!



Addy was sooo tired after her party at the park. Here she is half asleep on our way home! I love the dirt on her little legs.



Addy had so much fun playing in the dirt at her party! She wasn't too sure about the goldfish cake that I made her though...



Addy found a suction cup and decided to use it as a binky.



Asleep in her car seat after a long day of shopping!



Addy "helped" me plant my flowers from mother's day.



Playing on our deck in her new swimsuit, with her water table that she got for her birthday!



I went in to check on Addelyn last night before I went to bed and this is how I found her. Sooo relaxed, with one foot hanging out of her crib!

Woof Woof!

Today Addy and I were just out playing on our deck enjoying the warm weather! (finally!) It's a gorgeous day. Addy heard a dog barking and she said "woof, woof!" We have tried to get her to say it before, but she refused. I was so surprised when she did it! I went in and grabbed the video camera and was sooo happy when she continued to do it again! She's such a doll! Here are the videos!




And here is Tyler's proudest moment! haha Addy loves to brush her teeth!

Now For The Stats

I realize that I have posted about Addy a lot lately! Wait... who am I kidding, that's all I ever post about! I just mean that I have done like 500 posts in the past 3 days. I guess that's what happens when we do so many things all around each other.

Addy had her 12 month checkup yesterday! She is just as healthy as ever! Here are her stats:

Weight: 21 lbs 10 oz 62nd%ile
Height: 29 1/2 inches 65th%ile
Head: 47 cm 93rd%ile

I guess she kind of has a big head. Go figure!
Addy absolutely loves bananas right now! She will walk into the kitchen and try to reach them on the counter when she wants one. She has about 2 a day, but would eat 5 if we let her! She is starting to say more words. I can't remember which ones I have already mentioned, but she can say ball, there, done, cheese, more, sometimes I swear she says banana, book.... that's all I can think of right now.
Addy is so much fun! I just love having her around the house. She is my entertainment!

Happy Happy Birthday Addy Dear!

We are having a party for Addelyn on Saturday. However, we HAD to do something for her on her actual birthday. I know that she would have no idea, but she might care when she's older that we didn't do anything. I'm not even sure she had a clue as to what was happening. I went and bought some cupcakes, since I will be making 2 cakes on Saturday! We put a candle on it and sang her happy birthday, while she gave us weird looks. It was fun! I cannot believe what a dainty eater this little girl is! I thought for sure she would shove the cupcake in her mouth and try to devour it. This was not the case. Addy first licked the frosting, then looked at the cupcake, and licked it some more. She did not take a huge bite out of it! I had to break a piece of the actual cupcake off so she could try it. Silly girl! By the end she was clutching her cupcake and holding it close, as to not let it get away. Soooo cute! Sometimes I wonder where she came from. She has such a personality and is not afraid to show it! Scroll down for picture overload!

These are just a few I took of her playing in her room on her birthday!


Now starts the cupcake eating festivities!





Yummy frosting!









Feeling a little sick, maybe?






Here is a video of the dainty cupcake eater!

A Year Ago Today...

We were here:


waiting for her:




That was the worst pain I have experienced, but the best day of my life! I would do it again in a heart beat! It is amazing how much you can love such a little thing. We are so lucky to have Addy in our little family. She is such a wonderful little girl! When I think back to how little she used to be I wish I could go back. However, it is so fun to watch her learn and grow and I wouldn't want to miss it! I think Tyler described it best today when he said "She walks like E.T., her hair is so long she looks like cousin "it" and she tears the house apart faster than a wrecking ball... and I love every minute of it." We sure do love you Addelyn Nicole! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ADDY!

On to Bigger and Better Things!

Addy has graduated to a big girl car seat! We decided to put her in it for our trip down to Sun River for memorial day weekend. She was SO happy to be able to see out the windows and to talk with mom and dad during the drive. Addy has also started dancing to music. While we had the radio on she would just bob the top half of her body up and down. It is pretty adorable. One day I will get her mad dancing skills on camera!





While in Sunriver we were able to take her on her first bike ride. I was a little nervous that she would hate it. BUT, she absolutely loved it! She was talking up a storm, she fell asleep, and she gave us big cheezy grins! We went on 2 bike rides for at least 2 hours each. Now I want a bike trailer for my birthday so I can take Addy on bike rides every day... first I need a bike though!
