Girl Time!

My good friends Megan and Marissa have birthdays that are just a few days apart! This year they decided to do a joint birthday party! What better way to celebrate than to have a tea party? It was a blast! We got to dress up, drink tea, and have girl time! I cannot think of a better way to celebrate their birthdays, I'm ready for someone elses birthday and another tea party!

Megan (birthday girl number 2)



I'm so glad that I have made such great friends here! We are all lucky to have each other and I don't know how I would survive the process of dental school without them! Love you girls!

On The Move!

I bought this toy for Addelyn today at a consignment sale. I did not think that she would be ready to use it yet, but she definitely surprised us! Look at her go! At this rate she will be walking in no time!

This is How Long I was Pregnant...

9 months! And now my baby is 9 months old! I cannot believe that it has already been 9 months. These have gone so much faster than my pregnancy. She is so big! We had her 9 month check-up at the doctor today. She got 2 shots and these are her stats:

Weight: 19 lbs 6 oz. 75th %
Height: 28 inches 75th %
Head: 45 3/4 cm 90th %

I don't think her head looks THAT big! Apparently, they think so. Hopefully the rest of her body will catch up!

Things Addy loves to do are:
~Eat Kix and Goldfish from her snacktrap
~Walk along the furniture
~Stand and then let go of whatever she is holding onto (she will stand for a few seconds on her own)
~She still loves books
~She is such a jabbery little girl
~She no longer has a clogged tear duct!

Her she is in her shining after 2 shots glory!

Our Little Cheeser!

Friday night Addy was ready for bed and just looked so cute sitting on the floor. I got out my camera and she did the cheesiest smile I have EVER seen her do! I have no idea where it came from, but we laughed so hard about it. And we were lucky enough to catch it on camera, twice!

And of course she did some cute faces too...

And yes, she does have a pea in her mouth. haha

Here are just some cute pictures from lately of Addy hanging out with mom and dad.

Hanging out with dad and her toothbrush.


I really like this picture! I should probably take more pictures of Addy with us... I don't do that too often.


Addy is enjoying spending time with me, watching Wheel of Fortune, and eating her Kix!

Our Weekend "Away"

This past weekend we celebrated our 2nd year anniversary! We thought it would be fun to just get out. Tyler's mom came and watched little Addy for us. (It was the first time I have left her overnight!) Needless to say, she was fine and they had a blast together!
I did remember my camera, however, I forgot to bring it out at all! Bummer... so these pictures are courtesy of the internet.
We stayed here in downtown Portland (Marriott Hotel).

Ate here


And walked around here (the Lloyd Center Mall)


We had a nice relaxing night and were able to just enjoy being together! It was a great way to celebrate 2 years of marriage! Love you babe!

I Think it's Time to...

Lower her crib! This is how I find her every morning and after every nap. I am afraid she is going to start trying to climb over!

I know this one is kind of blurry (my flash was off), but I thought it was pretty darn cute!

Also, a few things I forgot to mention in my previous post:
~Addy will sit on the floor and read books to herself (she will turn the pages and talk)... I need to get this one on camera!
~She absolutely loves to shower with me! I started putting her in the tub because I don't know what else to do with her. She automatically goes straight for the drain and mainly plays down there. She will also pull herself up to the sides of the tub. I am very surprised that she doesn't mind the water getting in her eyes and spraying her!
~She LOVES to help me do the dishes! She will stand up to the dishwasher and pull out her little spoons.

8 Months and Tons of Pictures!

Addy is 8 months old today! She is getting more and more fun and busy by the minute! Gone are the days where I could leave her in the living room and she would stay there. If I am in a different room she will come find me!
Here she is in all her crazy hair glory! I swear that no matter how I do her hair it always turns out like this before the day is halfway over!
New things Addy is doing:
~She has started clapping! It is so cute! She loves to clap with me while I do Patty Cake with her.
~She will pull herself up on ANYTHING... even other kids.


~She walks when I hold her hands.
~She crawls ALL over the place.
~She kind of waves... sometimes. It's really hard to get her to do it, but I think it's so cute when she does!
~She is so, so, so excited when her daddy comes home from school! You can tell she loves him so much!
~She will look at you and move her mouth like she is talking and telling you something super important.
~Her MOST FAVORITE thing right now is when her daddy sings her the Bunny song. She gets so excited and loves watching him! He always does it for her right before bed and sometimes right when he gets home from school.



And here a few pictures of her!

This Little Girl...

keeps me so busy! Addy is ALL over the house! I have no idea what I would do with myself at home everyday if I didn't have a little one to chase after... well, maybe I do have a few ideas. BUT I would not have it any other way! She's so great! And I think she might actually end up with blue eyes! Crazy!

Grandma had fun with her hair in the bath! It is getting so long!

Oh So Sweet

Tuesday morning Addy decided that she wanted to wake up at 5:30. I got up and nursed her and then put her back in bed. She talked to herself for awhile and possibly slept for all of 30 minutes. I got up again and had to get ready for work. I gave her a bottle and came back and this is what I found.


I cam back a few minutes later and she had pushed her bottle out of mouth. She has never fallen asleep on the floor like this. Just way too cute!

A Mother's Love

I thought I knew the amount of a mother's love until I had this little girl! Now I know that I could never understand how much my mom loved me until I had experienced it myself. It makes me appreciate her all the more! I am so grateful that I have a wonderful mother that loves me. I'm also grateful that my daughter will get to experience that love from me! Hopefully she will understand it one day!

She looked so cute at church today that I couldn't resist doing a little photo shoot when we got home! I just wish I had a better camera!
