Our baby is 1 today!

It's official, we are now the parents of a toddler. This day brings back so many different emotions; from the anticipation of waiting for her to arrive, to the pain of laboring, to the tears of joy when she finally arrived, and the tremendous amount of love we have in our hearts for her. One word can sum up this past year for us, blessed. Addisyn has made our lives better and has made us better people. She made us parents! So we're taking the time today to remember just how much she has changed us and how rich our lives now are. As a family we've grown this past year, and I'm sure with Addisyn leading the way, we'll continue to grow. Happy birthday baby girl!!!

Tooth Count

We've gone from 1 tiny tooth on bottom to 4 coming through on top, and 1 more on bottom! Besides chewing, Addisyn doesn't seem to be bothered. Lets hope it stays that way!!

Aqua Tots

Well, we've had 3 classes of swimming, and finally Addisyn is enjoying them! The first class I think she was just overwhelmed, and we will blame the second on no morning nap. This past week she really seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully that will continue. Through the class we were able to meet some new friends and have even joined a local mom's group. We had our first outing with them last week at the skating rink. No, we weren't on skates! They closed the rink down to skating and opened it for little ones to run around and play with push toys, cars, hula hoops, and huge balls. Addisyn really seemed to like it. We're looking forward to our next swim class and mom's group outing!

Addisyn is 11 mos old!!

Only 1 more month until our baby is one.....this past month Addisyn has perfected her walking skills. She keeps us very busy chasing her around the house all day! I can't believe how much quicker she's gotten in such a short time. Addisyn is very steady on her feet now, and the only time she crawls is to get to a wall or something to help her stand back up. Most of her day is spent exploring and getting into everything. We've decided to enroll Addisyn in an Aqua Tots class beginning this Thursday at the YMCA. Hopefully it'll give Addisyn a chance to burn some energy and spend time with other little ones!

Happy Valentine's Day

See how good I walk now?

These videos were taken 1 week apart, the top on 2/11, and the bottom on 2/4. What a difference a week makes!

Addisyn is finally getting a tooth!!!

Well, its official...my baby is getting her first tooth! As I was cleaning her mouth this evening, I felt a sharp point on her lower gums, dead center. So far it doesn't seem to be bothering her, so lets hope it stays that way!!
