Addison is ONE!

Today is Addison's first birthday and we had her a party at Mother's Day Out! We took cookies and her teachers made her a hat to wear. Her big party is on Saturday, but we had to do something today since it is her actual birthday!

Pumpkin Patch!

On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch with some friends and Trent's Mom! Addison had so much fun. We rode a train to get to the pumpkin patch and then we also went on a hayride! Addison loved the hayride and had fun crawling around all the pumpkins. On the train ride back we got to sit outside and it was wonderful. We can't wait to do it again next year!

Update On Addison!

Wow time goes by so fast!! My sweet baby girl will be one in just four days! It sure doesn't seem like it has been a year since she was born. She has definitely learned many new things over the past few weeks. She now has 11 teeth, including three of her molars. She can stand on her own and could walk but she is a little scared. Her favorite thing right now is books. She can sit and look at books for a while. She talks to herself while she looks at all the pictures, it is too cute to watch her read. She has really started talking a lot more now and I can understand a few of the words: baby, mama, dada, bye-bye, uh-oh, thank you. She has started pointing at everything and finally will clap her hands. She also learned to take out her bows and her hair looks a mess when she does. I think she does this more to annoy her mama because she knows it drives me crazy when her hair looks crazy and is all in her face! I think that is all for now. I will post some pictures soon. She just got her one year pictures done in downtown Helena. Whitney did a wonderful job! Her birthday party is next Saturday! We are praying for good weather because that will be a lot of people in our house if it rains.

Update on Addison!

Addison is doing much better at Mother's Day Out!! She has the sweetest teachers who love her so much! It makes a huge difference when you know the teachers love your kids and you love the teachers! I'm also loving working just half a day and getting to peek in on her throughout the day is wonderful!!

My sweet baby girl has been sick though. Last Monday she had hand, foot, mouth and now she has croup! We went to see Dr. Wilson today and luckily the strep and flu tests were negative! Hopefully she will soon learn to fight off the germs and not catch everything. It's hard at her age to keep the germs down when they all still put everything in their mouth!

I have been working on getting everything ready for her birthday party! It is in just 3 1/2 weeks (so sad that time flies so fast). She is getting so big and so close to walking. It amazes me how they learn new things so quickly!

First Day of Mother's Day Out

As most of you know I decided to change jobs so that I can spend more time with my sweet baby girl. Well today was my first day at Briarwood and Addison's first day of Mother's Day Out. It was very nice and I really enjoyed the reduced hours. I only work four hours a day and Addison goes the same hours. I actually get to see her throughout the day and I love it. She did pretty good for her first day. She has been at home with me for the past three weeks so she cried a little but overall it was a good first day!

Botanical Gardens

We went to Botanical Gardens last thursday with Allison and Allie to try and get some pictures of the girls and to enjoy the cooler weather outside. It was cloudy so we were not burning up and we had a great time walking around looking at everything and even managed to get some cute pictures! Addison loved standing on the bridge and crawling around the rose garden. She was not in a smiling mood though because she was getting one of her one-year molars and her mouth was hurting. Poor baby has gotton one tooth after another, but the molor has by far been the toughest one for her and we still have three more to go!
