Wise baby Owl

So I got Addison's Halloween costume in the mail last week. I thought she would be so cute as a little owl.

So we decided to try it on:

Doesn't she look so cute??

She hated it and wanted it off NOW!!!

Bailey giving her kisses to make her cheer up :)

Hopefully she will learn to love it within a month or I will have to send it back :(

Lunch time

So today for lunch Will brought me home a grilled chicken plate from Zoes and I decided I would share with Addison.  I Wasn't sure if she was going to like it, but she LOVED it.  She loved the grilled chicken,  rice, pasta salad, pita bread, and the cucumbers (cut up really small).  And TODAY she decided that she wanted to use a fork (she never had a interest in it before).  I guess now that she is ONE, she has to be a grown up and use a fork. 

Loving her pasta salad...

and her pita bread...

and using her fork.

Happy Birthday baby girl!

Happy 1st birthday to my Baby Girl!

This year has flown by!  It's crazy how big she is now and how much she has learned over the past 12 months.  I love her so much and it just gets better every day.

We will see how this goes....

Well I have decided to start a blog to help document our life.  I hope this will give me inspiration to take more pictures of Addison as she is growing up and put them on here for our family and friends to see. 
We will see how that goes....
