Happy Early Halloween!!










Addie got to try out her Lion costume early for the Halloween party at the ice rink! The party was Saturday and she cooperated fully with wearing her costume. Addie had her first ice skating experience as well. Crsytal who is Addie's childcare provider took her for a few rounds of skating. No Addie's mommy was not about to try to skate holding Addie that would have been dangerous! And Addie's Daddy was busy working! Addie had a blast. After the party we went on to Chuck's parent's house for a surprise party for Chuck's grandpa (Paw Paw) who turned 90. Addie sported her costume through some of that party as well. She is certainly all ready for Halloween!!

13 Months Old!









Well as of Friday (10/24/08) Addie is 13 months old! Time Flies! Let me just announce that Addie is not walking yet. Let me tell you that is all that everyone ever wants to know- poor baby- no pressure! And her poor mama, as that is all that everyone ever asks. It is getting annoying! As for her walking status for everyone that wants to know, she will take a step or two and then down to her knees. She can just move much quicker crawling. She is just babbling away now! And this girl loves to dance. If you play music or just say dance, she gets a moving! Her other favorite past times and climbing in and out of her rocking chair repeatedly, and yes sometimes she does not get back out of it too gracefully. She also loves her rocking horse, not riding it, but pushing it all around the room and dancing when it sings. She is a trip.

Well here are some pics from the weekend. Addie eating pasta- so messy! Addie feeding herself icecream- she is too funny learning to use the spoon! That is messy too! And Addie sporting her new coat and adorable hat. Thanks Ella James for the hat for Addie's birthday- too cute!!

First Time Away From Addie!

Well, I did it! I made it through the weekend away from Addie, how hard was that!! Okay, I know some people may think it is pathetic that Addie is now one years old and this is the first time I spent a night away from her, but it is true. And even wrose, I was so anxious about leaving her and missing her that I was breaking out in hives at work on Friday. Seriously, I had hives on my arms! Before we left I typed a list of instructions for Chuck's poor parents that probably made them think I was nutty, as it was 1 1/2 pages long! For those of you who do not realize how silly that is, they knew most of things on the list. And when it was time to leave, I just cried and cried! Absolutely pathetic!!! I cried for like 15 minutes because I was going to miss her. So I just had to drown my sorrows with alcohol that night!

As much as I missed Addie and trust me I sure did, we had lots of fun though! We went to a wedding at the beach for Chuck's college buddy and lets just say we are not as young as we used to be. So I can pretty much still hang with one late night of partying and staying up until 3am, but not two nights of staying up until 3am and 4am. Wow I am still tired. The wedding was at the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium, what fun to be partying and dancing with the sharks!!! It was really nice and fun to have quality time with the hubby and to see some of his buddies that we do not see that often anymore with being parents.

I know I have been slack with posting the last few weeks, but pics of Addie will follow soon. I am still too tired to deal with it tonight. For some updates of Addie, she is just jibberjabbing away. She said Addie yesterday a few times, how sweet. And she is still in a mommy phase, she loves to be up under my feet. It is pretty sweet. As for the walking, still not quite. She can take some steps, but she realizes it is much easier and she can move much faster by crawling. She is pretty close though! As for teeth, there are two new teeth for a total of six now. What a big girl! Oh and to Addie's Uncle Scott and Aunt Krysta, she loves her rocking chair. She climbs in and out of it non-stop. She gets in it well and most of the time out of it well, but she still face plants occasionally. It is sad, but if you laugh, she thinks it is funny and does not cry. Am I bad mom to use such antics.
As for Halloween, we are very excited to sport Addie's costume. She will go to the Halloween party at the ice rink this Saturday and then tricking treating to a few special places, like relatives, on Halloween. She is going to be a lion. Of course we will post some pics.
