The Stinkface

Addie can be quite serious at times. This is what I call the stink face. It comes and goes but is always funny. Sometimes I can catch it in a picture.

A girl and her dogs

I was a little nervous about how Maggie would react when Addie was born- that dog really likes to be the center of attention and hadn't really been around little kids before. So I am relieved that they are getting along quite nicely. Addie will walk over to where Maggie is napping, either on the bean bag or their dog bed and will snuggle right up to her, sometimes on her. She also grabs her whiskers and gives her a full on kiss. She grabs her by her collar and walks her around. Maggie has been pretty patient overall. I think it may have something to do with all the food that gets dropped when a certain someone is eating. Rocky has been pretty good too but they definitely aren't the buddies that Maggie and Addie are. Although he would probably lick her incessantly if I let him.

Milk-does a body good

Ever since Addie turned 1 we've been trying to get her to drink milk (someone thinks that it's time to wean her, sigh). At first she was drinking it pretty well but then it was a full on boycott (did she know that we are trying to make a switch?) We finally convinced her to drink it by mixing it with egg nog- she loves it! Probably not the healthiest mix but it works. Every time she sees the fridge open she gets excited and tries to take stuff out. This was her latest adventure. She pulled the whole milk out, which was pretty light- then she reached for the 2% which was a bit heavier. She is so funny.

Well rounded girl

We got Addie a four wheeler for her birthday, which she loves. She likes to do tricks on it- she must of learned that from her dad. She is a daring little girl. I was thinking that she may end up being just a tomboy but Aunt Judy got her a purse with some cute accessories and she knew just what to do- she slung it over her shoulder and has already eaten the lip gloss that came with it (I didn't realize she could open the lid...) She also loves to snuggle her baby. So it looks like she is going to be an all arounder. Now to get her riding a horse by her self :)

Birthday Party

Addie is now one year old! We had a party for her with some friends and family. It was a fun little get together. Addie took a late nap that day and woke up with a house full of people. She was kind of out of it, would not eat her cake and didn't want to share her presents. It was pretty funny. It was fun to have everyone over.

Catching up again

So I am woefully behind on the past couple of months. Addie is growing by leaps and bounds and gets funnier by the day. She is so smart she cracks me up.

Walkin' on Sunshine

She loves climbing in pots- its one of her favorite things
Screen door squish
This is her cousin, sweet little Brooklynn- I have a feeling that she is going to get mauled.

So Addie started walking last week and she is loving toddling around. And we all love to watch her. She does really well and only falls down every once in a while. She is also climbing all over everything and so has bonked her head a couple of times. Such a fun age right now, I can't believe her first birthday is just around the corner.
