Just for you

You know who you are. Addison loves you! And so do I.

Just like old times.

Family fun

We headed to TN for Thanksgiving. Addison did great on the flights. She played for about 15 minutes and then crashed the rest of the way there and back. She spent a lot of time with her cousins, aunt, uncles and grandparents. Here she is right after a nap. Love the bedhead and can't get over that face.

Addison with her cousins Matthew and Andrew. She was so smiley and playful all weekend long.

Thanks to Michael's parents for having us. We had a lot of fun seeing everyone and spending time together.

They're back!

Check out Addison's new legwarmers. They're called Babylegs and they're great for crawling, diaper changes, and Florida days when it's cool in the morning and 100 degrees by lunch. This was her walking attire on Sunday. No part of this outfit matches. You can't tell, but that's actually an orange colored onesie. Thankfully none of the neighbors saw us. If she only knew.Hope everyone reading has a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sure I'll have tons of new pictures to post soon.

Lesson learned

Addison is quick. I guess you don't realize it until you put her in the middle of the bed, turn your back for a second and then you hear it. Thump. Yep, it happened. She fell off the bed Friday morning. My heart dropped when I saw her lying there. Luckily, she's okay. No bumps or bruises and she was acting like herself 5 minutes later. Just a little rug burn on her nose. This was taken last night.Seven months old today and this is what she'll remember. The scabs on her nose. Glad to see that smile on her face. It sure makes me feel better.

No more playing on the bed in the morning when mommy is getting ready.

Gator Homecoming

This post is a little late...I loved going to the Gator parade as a kid. I felt the need to carry on a tradition so I took Addison to her first parade. And just like her mother, she slept through all of the police car and fire truck sirens. And I was worried she'd be spooked.

It appears from the pictures I took that she may have enjoyed her rattle more than the parade. Believe it or not, she did find all of the action captivating.And just one of her playing.

Celebrating a win

I know Erika usually posts all the entries on the blog, but now it's daddy's turn. Recently we have been teaching Addison how to clap her hands, and even though she isn't quite a pro yet, she took time to demonstrate her new found skill while celebrating the Vols victory over Arkansas this past weekend. Erika likes to give a shout out to the gaytors occasionaly on the blog, so now it's my turn. Check out this video of Addison clapping along to the tune of her FAVORITE song!

Birthday fun

We were going to go to dinner, but since I was miserable from eating all things bad for me all day (Gingerbread latte and muffin, bbq with 2 starches as sides and ice cream cake), I decided to save my birthday dinner for the weekend and opt for cereal and a yogurt instead. But I did get to hang out with my two favorite people. One slept most of the evening. The other managed to make me laugh...as usual.

The BIG 3-0

A mini snow globe? Yep! This is what I got from Michael this morning. What's it mean? We're heading to NYC!!! It's always been a dream of mine to go to NY at Christmastime. Dream come true. The tickets are purchased and the hotel is booked. I'm so excited!!! I have the best husband ever! I love you Michael. Can't wait for the trip. Thanks for making this the best birthday ever.

I never thought I would make it this far. Blog post #100. Yippie!!! I just hope those out there in the internet world enjoy reading the tidbits about our lives as much as I like writing about them. So, now that we're on a roll...

We had a great Halloween. I know it's a little bit of torture for a child who has no clue what's going on, but it's all about the pictures, right? Addison was the cutest lady bug ever! Here's my favorite.The neighbors had their yard decorated for the occasion which made for a perfect backdrop. This where we found Addison the other day when we came back into the room. She's all over the place and isn't officially crawling yet. We're in for it. I have a lot of pictures to add, but not enough time. Addison and I are off to Gainesville tomorrow for the big Florida homecoming parade and Grey's Anatomy starts in 32 minutes. Will post more this weekend when we get back.
