Christmas 2009!!!

Addisons first Christmas was wonderful!! She was in such a good mood Christmas Eve and Day that I don't think it could have been much better! I think that she really enjoyed the time with all her Grandparents and they enjoyed her too (naturally)! I tried to remind her that the main reason for the celebration was the birth of Jesus Christ, but of course she is too young to understand. She got a ton of wonderful gifts from everyone including Santa! What a spoiled and loved little girl we have! I tried my best to document every moment whether I video recorded it or took photos. I hope she enjoys watching herself as a little baby when she is older. I had dinner at our house on Christmas Day and made Kyle's favorite, Ham. We had my parents, Kyle's dad and Dolores, and a family friend Larry over for dinner. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food so I can safely say that I have another holiday dinner under my belt! We hope you all had a wonderful and safe Christmas!

Here are a ton of pictures from the last few days:

Merry Christmas to you all!

Well Christmas is coming to a close and it's my hopes that you all had as wonderful a Christmas as we did! There is really not much better times than family and friends getting together to celebrate Jesus and enjoying each others company! Thank you for all your help today, you all know who you are! I'll be posting pictures of the days events soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Here are some updated videos of Addi and her accomplishments:

Addison Crawling! What a big girl!

Addison pulls herself up on her own, waves, and tries to hit new pitches with her voice. She's so silly!

No Christ in Christmas!!??

So I am hearing more and more about how people are trying to make Christmas not about Christ! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? What do they think its about then? Santa Clause? It makes me really sad that society it trying to take religion out of everything. It is what this country stood on all the way up until now. Who thinks they have the right to change it? They take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and now they are making it just the Holidays and not Christmas. I am going to make sure that Addison grows up in a world that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and that God is in all that we do. I don't ever want her to feel that it is wrong to believe in religion and God, or feel ashamed to wish someone a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Who is with me? :)

8 Months Old And On The Move!!

Addison must have ants in her pants because she never slows down anymore! (unless she decides that it's time for a nap) She has officially learned to crawl and loves to pull herself up on anything that she can possible reach her little hands on! She wants to stand all day long and even gets gutsy and lets go HANDS FREE for a few seconds until she plops down on the ground, usually on her behind but sometimes on her face! She seems to not really mind the face plants and just wants to get back to standing faster than she fell. She is a little wiggle worm and is constantly on the move. I am feeling pretty confident in saying that by the end of the month she will probably have started walking without using the couch to guide her. Her newest goal is to figure out how to scream at the highest pitch she can find. She sits and screams and you can hear her voice give out when she hits a pitch that she can't get to yet. It's not the crying type of screaming it's just the lets get my vocal cords to develop as loud as they can type. She loves it and is so pleased with herself when she can get that shrill squeak out. It's hilarious. I think that she is really getting excited for Christmas. She loves to look at the lights (as we saw when her Aunt Andrea took us to Zoo Lights last night) and she also opened her first Christmas gifts last weekend and had a good time figuring out what is in the package and how do I get it out and Oh this box and bag that the gift came in is super cool too! She also attended her buddy Oskars first birthday party. She isn't as interactive with other babies as I thought she would be but she hasn't had that much interaction with kids in the first place. She seemed to have a good time though and loved her first taste of chocolate frosting. She almost broke skin trying to get the last bit of it off my finger! Then she had a good screaming in joy episode shortly after which I swear was a side effect of the chocolate! It like she got a sugar rush and couldn't handle the excitement:) I can't wait until her first Christmas!
