Christmas Parade

-

 

We took Addison  to the Asheville Christmas Parade this past Saturday.  Nana kept Kaitlyn since she was all over the place when we took her to the Apple Festival Parade a few months ago.  We thought this would be good time for her and Nana and good time for mommy and daddy with just Addison.  I think she had a really good time.  If you asked her what she saw at the parade, she said, “the band (marching band), fire truck, and candy.” Yes she loved getting the candy that they handed out.  She was so cute because she would hold her little hands out for them to put candy in her hand and then they may walk by and give her some or not.  And I felt so sorry for her when they would pass her by but I know that’s life and she will not always get what she wants even if its just candy and that is actually good for her to experience.  

On Sunday it was uncle Jeff’s birthday and both of the girls love their uncle Jeff!  He let them share in blowing out his candles.  Funny saying from Addison on Sunday – Jeff was saying to Addison “ Who is my sweetheart?  Who is my girl?  and she kept responding Addison, then she goes who is my big boy to Jeff?  Josh heard it and couldn’t stop laughing.

Boy How Time Flies!

Well I can't believe Addison is 17 months old and Kaitlyn is a few days away from being 2 months old! We are all doing well. Addison is saying more and more words. She pretty much tries to repeat most of the words we say. Josh just keeps saying "She is so much fun". Addison is becoming more of a daddy's girl since I am always nursing Kaitlyn or picking up the house. She says "Dada" much more than "Mama." She now calls my father Papa and my mom Mimi. My father came up this weekend and if any of you know my father, of course, he bought us doughnuts. And Addison definitely knows the word doughnuts due to my dad. I am having to look for winter clothes for Addison so I am on the hunt for cheap winter outfits for her. Clothes are so expensive! Kaitlyn is growing out of all of her newborn size clothes but I keep putting them on her because I know she will never wear these cute outfits ever again. She has started cooing and she smiles a lot. She is sleepin...

1 Year Old Birthday Party

I can't believe Addison is a year old today!! She had a wonderful turnout at her birthday party this past Saturday. I believe there were over 35 people total that came! She got many clothes, toys and socks. We are so thankful for all of her gifts. Tonight Josh and I took her to Cracker Barrell so she could have a pancake on her actual birthday. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her many times today and each time she smiled really big at us while we sang to her. Isn't this sweet! Addison with her aunt Kim. This is 4 generations and Addison was reaching for her aunt Kim. Here she wasn't being shy anymore. This was her personal cake and she wasn't sure if she could touch it. She petted it for a while and finally she ate some after I started feeding it to her. Addison and her very loved uncle Jeff. Notice how content she is in his arms. She also loved the train her uncle Jeff got her. She loved her chair she got from her aunt Nancy. Addison and her great grandm...

The Beach Trip

We went to Garden City Beach, SC for a week at Memorial Day with Mimi, Papa, Aunt Amanda and Uncle Ted, and Aunt Miranda and Uncle Brock. We had a blast! We got to stay in a nice beach house within walking distance of the beach and it was perfect. Addison loved the beach. She didn't mind the sand one bit. She was a little skittish of the ocean but loved the pool! Addison is getting around very fast now. She can walk very well especially with her new little Saucony tennis shoes I got her. She is on cow's milk now but we are still working on getting off the sippy cup. Any suggestions are appreciated. We are now preparing for baby sister Kaitlyn Leigh to arrive. We have about 8 1/2 more weeks till she should get here. I know it will be here before we know it. We have two white cribs in the nursery now and had to move out the rocker. We will see how sharing a room goes. We can always try it and see. Our Beach house The girls Aunt Miranda and Uncle Brock Aunt Amanda a...
