Addison Lane, Kaitlyn Leigh, Logan Grant and Weston Kenneth

For Addison's first Halloween she was a Lady Bug. This is what her daddy wanted her to be. We bought 3 costumes in the process of finally finding a lady bug outfit. Thanks to Toni, my boss, for finding one. It was a little big for her, but it worked. Kim said her hat made her look like a little Russian girl. We ended up just handing out candy at our house and trick or treating at the neighbors. Aren't the little black shoes so cute and perfect for her lady bug outfit. They came all the way from Texas. Chris and Bethany Knox sent them from TX to NC for Addison.

Josh's mom's face when she saw Addison dressed up as a lady bug. It was priceless.

Addison and Ella This was Addison when she started on her trip to get to Ella Addison is now pulling herself across the floor. She was able to get to her friend Ella who is 2 weeks older than her. Just after her bath at Aunt Amanda's Hello Mama! Mommy and her sweet baby girl "The family portrait", it was quite chilly (look at Addison's pink nose) Aunt Amanda with Addison at the Dinner Rehearsal Nannie or Gigi trying to give Addison some rice cereal. You can tell she really loves it. Miranda's Mom with her grandaughter (Miranda's neice and Miss Addison) Well, the Simpson family has been very busy. We went to Gatlinburg, TN with Kim and Don, then the next weekend included all of the wedding festivities for Brock and Miranda and then this past weekend we were off to Boone, NC to visit Aunt Amanda and Uncle Ted.

Again with mommy This is an older picture from about 6 weeks ago, Addison with Aunt Amanda This is an old picture from the 5 k that we ran/walked. Looking up at the picture taker In her excersaucer, she doesn't know what she wants to put in her mouth next Mommy and Addison posing for Kim My camera batteries have died so I haven't taken any pictures in a while so I begged Kim to send me the pictures off her camera and so she did!

I can't believe Addison is 5 months old! Sorry I have no pictures. I need to take one of her for her 5 month picture. I will work on that this weekend. Addison is talking all the time and she is grabbing for everything. If you have her in your lap while you are eating, you better keep the plate far away from you. We had Brock and Miranda's wedding shower this past weekend at our house. It was a lot of fun. Addison stayed in her aunt Pat's and great grandmother's arms the whole time. Her great grandmother also got to give her a bath. Josh is bringing home her first pictures from Olan Mills tonight and I can't wait to see them! Addison is rolling over from her back to her tummy and tummy to back all the time now. This is how she gets around on the floor.

Aunt Amanda with her favorite niece ! Josh eating the huge turkey leg at the fair. It was a lot of meat! Kim, Addison and I at the fair. Not sure how to flip this picture so sorry, but here is daddy with his second favorite girl. Gramma's (Josh's mom) birthday was on September 2 nd and we took Addison's gramma out to eat to Iannuci's . I have included this picture of all of us. We had a great time. Frank and Linda had never been there. This past Friday we went to the fair. It was Addison's first trip to the fair. She loved looking at all the lights on the rides and the huge bulls. We had a blast people watching, eating jumbo turkey legs, hot apple cobbler and ice cream , potato rounds and of course sweet tea! It was Addison's first time in her big stroller without the car seat . She loved sitting up watching everything with her mouth open. Addison has started this new thing where she tries to blow bubbles and make noise with her mouth at the same time. I...

Addison in a hot tub for the first time with her grandfather Addison holding her hed up so well! Back to the Atlanta Trip, We went down to Greenville, SC on Thursday night and stayed with Chesney and Chad. Friday, morning we met Josh's parents and my parents at Cracker Barrell. We then headed to the outlets north of Atlanta, and of course I had money to spend but could not find anything I liked (or really may have been I didn't want to pay that much for) Josh made an agreement with me that if I got all my pregnancy weight off he would give me $400 - $500 to spend on clothes. I did spend some money on clothes but ended up sharing my amount with Josh and of course Addison. I got her the cutest diaper bag with her initials on it... We stayed at Lake Lenier and had a blast! Brock and Jenny came also. And it was great getting to spend time with them. As far as Addison goes, she is changing everyday. Her hair is getting longer, she is rolling on her back all the time and has turned...
