January 2009

We started the year with a visit from our friend Cat. It was great to see Cat and catch up with her. Addy loved sitting on Cat's lap and looking at all of her pictures including some of Addy.

Then we were able to catch up with Grandpa, Kim and Katy for Christmas. Addy loved sharing her new book with Grandpa and Aunt Katy. Grandpa really made the Dinosaur come to life.




Addy also wanted to show Grandpa her new walking skills. When we got to Grandpa's house Addy had on her new shoes which she was not used to walking in. By the end of the night the shoes were off and she was in her pajamas and was easily showing off her walking skills.




Even though Addy was walking she didn't want to admit she was getting big. She still was hanging out in her bouncy seat even though it was getting much closer to the ground then it was when she was 4 months old.







A candid shot of Addy's crazy hair and standing/walking ability. We wonder when her hair will sit down on it's own.








Addy is really into books and loves to sit with Dada or Mama to read. Here she is sitting on the couch like a big girl, reading with Dada. She loves the books where she has to open a flap to find something.


This last picture is not one of our better pictures but the story is funny. Addy had some chicken & noodles from chicken noodle soup, grilled cheese and some veggie meatballs for dinner. She ate the chicken and noodles but the pieces of grilled cheese and veggie meatballs went into a pile that you can see on the left side. This was her discard pile. Every time she came across one of these pieces she would pick them up and immediately put them in the pile. Great sorting skills.
