Old is New

This cute cute cute dress that Addison is wearing is a dress that I wore as a baby that my mom saved. We just had to take pics of her in it because there are pics of me in this dress.
If I remember correctly, a friend of the family hand smocked this dress, which makes it even more special :) I was surprised at how nicely the style looked on Addison - super cute!!!!

And the girl has so so so many expressions, I just HAD to post more than one pic :) And if you are wondering about the precious hairband/bow my friend Crystal made that for Addison. The coolest thing is that the bow is on a clip that can be changed out to different colors, flowers etc. (Thanks Crystal - it has added the perfect touch to so many of her outfits and I'll have to show you the photographers pics with the white bow and blue feather :)

Happy 6 Months!

Today Addison is offically 6 months old!!!!!! Where oh, where did the time go?? (I know I didn't give it to the peach)



Our little Favor Baby has already witnessed several big snow storms, has been introduced to flower arranging, is sitting on her own, eating cereal like a champ (and some applesauce too), has rolled over, can pick up cheerios, uses her thumb and 1st two fingers to pick up, play and put her binky in her mouth, can hold her bottle, knows what the bottle means, knows what the spoon and ceral bowl means, is getting closer to sleeping throught the night, is extreamly alert, loves looking at/studying people, 'talks' up a storm, laughs alot, giggles, leans to people that she wants to hold her, loves to growl (yep, you read that right growl ~ she does it mostly when she's happy, kinda like a purr), loves to visit her grandparents...and....and... there's so much more but we'll leave it at that.

Dedication Day

Addison's dedication was a cold snowy Sunday, but one filled with the love of Family. Both of our families were there including BOTH of Addison's great-grandfathers! She is one blessed little girl to be surrounded by such an extended family. We were blessed by all our family who stood in support with us as we presented our little girl to the Lord. We couldn't have asked for little girl to have done any better. She was so calm as Merle carried her around. She was so attentive as the pastor prayed a blessing over her - you would have thought that she understood every word her was saying. She then thought she might like to have his notes to eat! It was all so perfect, so cute :)



The dress A. is wearing ia the dress that my Mom was dedicated in. Then my sisters and I were dedicated in it and finally all of the grand girls. It was awesome to carry on the tradition.
