Happy 4th!

Addison enjoyed her first 4th of July holiday in Van Buren at GiGi and Poppy's house. She enjoyed swimming in their pool and she stayed up extra late to watch the fireworks!

I was able to capture Addison's new "funny face" on camera. She REALLY likes the reaction she gets when she makes this face for family and friends!

It's almost been a year!

I absolutely can't believe that on the 28th of this month Addison will be a year old. This year has flown by! When I was pregnant, I remember thinking that having a 1 year old seemed so far away, but here we are! I just had to go back and look through pictures in anticipation of the big day! I thought I would post a few from her first year so you could see how she has changed. We are so thankful for our little girl and her sweet, cheerful, and social personality!

Florida

Last week we headed to Destin, Florida with a large group of our family. There were 17 of us total or "16 and a high chair" :). We had so much fun spending time with family, relaxing/playing on the beach, and eating good seafood. We could not have asked for better weather. Addison seemed to enjoy taking in all the new sights and sounds of the beach, floating around in the pool, and wearing her swim suit so she could show off her cute little chubby legs! She especially enjoyed all the extra attention and being passed around and held by her Kansas family all week. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again!

Addison's 1st Swim!

Addison went swimming for the 1st time this past weekend. Initially she had no reaction to being in the water at all! By the end, she was kicking her feet and smiling. She should be ready for her 1st beach trip next week. She may been the cutest girl out on the sand!! :)
