Some random pics

I just learned how to do this with the pictures.. this is practice run.

We have a crawler on our hands!

Its official... Addison is crawling! About the last 3-4 weeks she has been really curious about crawling. She has been trying so hard. And finally she has got it. No more being left on the bed or sitting in the same spot. Time to put up the gate at top of stairs and baby proof. She is such a cute little crawler. As you can see, she isn't too fast yet but she really gets around. Its so funny how she keeps her left leg tucked under her so she can go back to sitting postion at any time. She just kind of drags it. She just learned how to go from all fours to sitting about 2 days ago. Before that she would just be stuck and cry, she didnt know how to get out of that position. Its so fun to watch her learn each new step. She is a climber too. She gets to something and starts trying to pull herself up. She is pretty strong, she really surprises me. Also she would rather crawl to cords plugged in the wall rather then her toys.

My sweet girl -- 9 months already!

Visiting Ness

Addie and I took a "road trip" to Spanish Fork to visit one of my good friends Janessa. We have been best friends since high school. It has been way too long since I have been to her place. Addie was having fun with Ness. Her hubby tried to hold her and she cried. haha sad. I think she has a special bond with Janessa.... cuz she is months 7 pregnant with a little girl too!! Here is Addie sitting on her lap and bonding with the baby... ah so cute. Can't wait to meet her!!

" I can clap!"

Addie learned how to clap all on her own while we were on our trip. She is proud when she claps (and so are we). She will be just playing with her toys and clapping with herself. Its so dang cute. Then when she does something and we cheer for her she claps for herself because she has seen us cheer and clap for her so many times. Now she beats us to it! :)

First time together

Addie finally got to meet her second cousin Ava. She is 2 months YOUNGER then Addie! Crazy huh. She is such a cute chunky baby, I love it. She came to visit us from Oregon. It was so fun to watch them interact with eachother. Ava would pick up a toy and Addie would grab it from her cuz she is older and more aggresive I guess. They kept poking at each others faces. This was one the only pic were they weren't attacking each other.

We are back from the Caribbean!

Oh we had such a wonderful cruise. It was 5 nights and so much fun. We went with a bunch of friends that Josh works with. We had to leave Addie behind though so that was the only bad thing. We missed her a ton but still managed to have lots of fun in the sun. It is great to be a mommy again though.

Lydia, Kim, Angela and me. We all ended up wearing white one day.. not even planned. Aren't we cute!

Formal Night

Grand Turk. We rented mopeds and toured the whole island is less than an hour..., its that small. We got to see a lot of cool things and had fun. This is some of us gals chillin at the beach. Misty, me, Kim, and Amber.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. Man this place was beautiful. Such crystal clear water. This was a chill island. I mostly layed out and relaxed. Josh played volleyball and snorkled.

This is a huge world famous resort in the Bahamas called Atlantis. It was so beautiful. It has a huge aquarium with sharks ect. And there is a huge water park with slides and tubes and stuff. We had a fun day here!! This is Jake and Kim Taylor and us. They were some friends that went with us.

Here you go Janell..

This is a small clip of Addie trying to talk. She just says "ya ya ya" all the time. Sorry its so short but she was all talked out after our phone converstation sis.

Addie says " I Love U this much!"

She loves to sit on the floor and play with her basket of toys. It's keep her enterained for quite awhile. As you can see, she is very happy. She is finally getting interested in crawling. She tries really hard but isn't there yet. I'm sure it's not too far off. Then we will have a mobile baby.. oh no! :)
