1st Birthday

Addison had her first birthday party on Saturday. Twenty friends and relatives made it in from all over Texas. Addison woke up from her nap to find all these people in her house! She was in a great mood and loved to smile, clap, and hold her hands above her head when someone asked her how big she was. Kelly and her mom were on presents duty, while I manned the video and digital camera. Addison loved the cards that came with every present and didn't want to let them go, even to pick up another card. She received a lot of clothes and toys that I know she will enjoy, especially the toys that make a lot of noise!





Kelly's grandparents on her mother's side gave Addison a child's laptop that has word and math games on it. While she is still a litttle young to reap the full benefits of it, she still enjoys slapping the keyboard and open/closing the lid.

Walker Movies and a Mohawk Attempt

My parent's have a walker that they bought Addison a while back that she zooms all over their house with. We decided to pick one up as well so she can race around our house. After some initial hesitation, she started zooming all over as you can see in the pictures and movies below.

Below is my attempt at giving Addison a Mohawk in the tub. Kelly hates it when I do this, so I did not get a chance to make it as fancy as it could have been. It also didn't help that Addison was a bit fussy during this bath.
