Missing you

It was six years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday. God had a plan for me to be there with you. Even though it was the end for you here I know it was only the beginning for you somewhere so much better. It makes me happy to know you're at peace. I will always remember the good times. Playing cards, rootbeer floats, swimming, dance shows, picking blueberries, walks in the woods. And your funny quirks as well. Dating the food, checking the meter, writing in your journal, sitting in the front yard under the tree. The memories will remain with me forever. And I will be sure to pass them on to my children so they will know you as well.

I miss you Grandpa.

Something's cooking

That would be a baby!

Funny girl

Addison and I were on the way home yesterday and she kept saying "mama". So I said back to her "Addison". This went on a couple of times until she finally said "dada my kuhl". You read that correctly. She now calls her daddy Michael. It was cracking me up the whole way home.

Last night she was eating a popsicle on the porch with Caeley from next door. It was getting late and she would not give up her popsicle. Don't blame her though. It was good. Michael took her to the shower and there she sat in the corner finishing it. She was so serious about that popiscle that she wanted to keep the stick when she was done.

Picture overload

The photographer who took Addison's pictures for the ad gave me a cd with some of the other shots. Here are a couple of the good ones. They weren't sure of the theme they were going to go with so there was a lot of different background changes.

These two crack me up. Addison knows exactly where her ears, eyes and nose are and likes to point them out on others too. Here she is saying "eyes". And can she look any more bored? I love how she's checking her nails.

And those big blue eyes. They get me every time.

Sweet face

I love this little girl so much. Everyday is something new. Right now she is addicted to her "strollie" (that's stroller). I picked up this little baby stroller at a yard sale for 50 cents and she wants to push it and take it with her everywhere. This weekend we literally had to put it in the car in order for her to go to the park. And she gets so upset when the wind catches the material and it flies up. She thinks it is broken or something. So something has to be in the seat at all times to keep this from happening.

She used to be such a good eater, but lately she won't eat. Breakfast is the hardest. She takes about three bites and she's done. Bananas used to be her favorite, but now she won't go near them. But she still loves pasta. Sometimes Michael gives her macaroni and cheese for breakfast just so she'll eat. And the other day she thought the squash on her plate was pasta so she devoured it. Her new thing is to "dip". I'll give her ketchup or ranch dressing with her meal and the dipping action usually helps in the eating process. I caught her dipping tortilla chips in ketchup this past weekend. If she likes it that's all that matters.

She loves to jump. Even if her feet never leave the ground. She jumps off the stool, off the curb, off the grass to the driveway. Most of the time it's just a small step, but in her one year old mind it is probably one of the biggest leaps she's ever taken. The smile that forms on her face when she accomplishes those jumps melts my heart every time.

She's very lovey. She'll give you kisses and hugs. She snuggles with her daddy. And when she's thrown a small fit and knows she's done something wrong, she'll come over and give me a kiss and say "sorry". How can you be upset after that. How can you ever be anything but in love with that sweet face.

Slacking

I haven't been doing so well on taking pictures recently so my post are lacking. My dad was in town this past weekend. It was nice to spend some time with him. I haven't seen him since last October and he hasn't seen Addison since December. As usual, she took a day to warm up to him, but then they were buds. We were getting ready for the big game on Saturday and Addison had just woken up from her nap. She wasn't feeling so great which explains the sad face. This is the only picture I took this weekend. BTW, Dad hates pictures. We love you!

Happy Birthday to Jesse and Allison. I hope you both had great days. We love you both so much and can't wait to see you soon.

And lastly...GO GATORS!!!

Messy

This is how Addison eats her ice cream cone. The ice cream in her hair is because of Michael. He was making his own mess as he ate his.

Remember that little photoshoot I mentioned in this post. Well, here's the result. This is our company ad that is going to run in the Wolfson Children's Hospital magazine.

(Click the picture to make it bigger.)

I think it turned out really cute. Addison was such a trooper during the shoot. So much better than she did at her one year photoshoot. It turned out to be a pretty fun day.
