One year old


Today our sweet little Addison is one year old! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. This morning she woke up around 5:30.. I thought how nice of her to remind me of last year at this time when she was being born. She was born at 6:05 AM... Luckily she went back to sleep with me in the recliner until 9!! We took her to the zoo today for the first time and she seemed to enjoy all the animals. It was a little hard for her to see some of them but she especially loved the giraffe and the birds that made noise. While we were looking at the giraffe I told her they live where Uncle JoJo is and she responed with, "Jo Jo". I was so excited she said my little brothers name. He is in Africa on his mission. So we got the video camera out and got her to say it again for documentation for him!! She is such a fun girl. Here are a few things she enjoys right now:


She loves to climb on anything and everything. Her activity table, her walker, the couch.. you name it she climbs it. Sometimes she amazes me when I find her on top of something I thought she would never get onto. She is so determined and finds a way to get what she wants.
She loves to wrestle and fight with her dad. He will play fight with her and wrestle with her and sometimes I think he is being too rough but she LOVES it.. she laughs and giggles. She also loves to fight back.. only bad thing is she likes to fight other people now too. We need to help her learn when is ok to fight and when we need to be nice.
She loves kitties and dogs. We have a little teacup chihuahua (sp?) and Addison chases her all around the house. Our poor dog, Addison is way bigger than her and is a little rough. She has learned to say kitty and doggie.
She still loves to dance everytime she hears music. Her favorite is still the Black Eyed Peas, but she also likes the Wiggles now and MC Hammer, Can't Touch This. This girl is going to be a dancer!!
We love her so much and are so fortunate to be her parents. I can't wait to see what the next year brings with her becoming a big sister!! Two weeks from tomorrow! Here are some pictures from the last year for you to enjoy and watch how she has grown!!
