Well...we had several family gatherings to go to this year and fortunately for our sanity it was spread out over 7 days. We had a great time with everybody and feel blessed to have such great family and friends. I thought Addi was a fun age for Christmas...although she didn't exactly know what was going on, we had a great time pretending. I have TONS of pictures to post...so I will just let them tell the story :)
Christmas at the Lake and Great-Grandad's Birthday
Addi was barely awake to open her gifts...but she learned later that she is going to be the best dressed baby on the block.
Alan and Kylie
Nana helping Kylie and James open gifts
Christmas at Nana and Papaw's
The boys playing Monopoly...of course.
The ONLY photo we could get of the 3 kids.
Kylie got a camera like TiTi
Addi LOVES James...and James LOVES Addi's toys :)
So Tired
Christmas Eve
Our family photo at the Christmas Eve service as church.
Addi and YaYa
Addi and Aunt Elise all snuggled up
Uncle Justin and Dink
Addi LOVES her new seat. It makes LOTS of noise! Thanks YaYa and Dink.
Aunt Elise and Uncle Justin got her some books. She cracks me up how she holds them and looks at them as if she is really reading.
The purpose of this toy is to "encourage" crawling. At this point, Addi HATES to be on her tummy. She gets mad, screams, rolls to her back, then smiles at you. We will see...
I love my new iPod :)
Christmas Morning
"Mommy...I am not awake yet"
"Where is my bink?"
Daddy helping Addi open her first gift...an ornament for the tree.
My baby's first Christmas
"What's this Daddy"
"Mommy...Santa Claus is not suppose to bring clothes"
"This could be fun"
"Wow!"
"So many sounds and lights to choose from"
7 months old...
Addi will sit on our bed (sometimes) when we are getting ready and play with her toys. I thought this set of three pictures was funny...pretty telling.
Happy as a clam
I can't believe how long she looks in this picture. Oh...and this is the face Daddy makes when he doesn't want his photo taken.
Addi LOVES LOVES LOVES her jumper. She spends hours in it...and when she is not in it, she expects you to hold her and help her jump.
With these "special" bottles, Addi can hold them herself.
When YaYa and Mommy were shopping in Gymboree we had to check out these shades on her. I was amazed at how well she wore them without a fuss.
Addi and her hats...we like to play in hats...Mommy needs to start taking more photos of them.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
