Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Love, Addy

On her new sit and spin.

People always say kids loves the boxes more than the actual present...and the box is even better when Uncle Sean jumps out of it!

Super excited about her real red Radio Flyer wagon, a Christmas gift from Grandpa Russ & Grandma Carol.

Addy's First Birthday

That's right...Addy's 1. And what a first year it's been. It's hard to even put into words what happiness and joy Addy has brought to our lives. And we can't wait to see what the next year will bring.

At one year, Addy is now 31" tall and weighs just 18lbs., 14oz. Tall and thin - where she got that from, we have no idea! The reason she probably stays so thin is not because she doesn't eat - the child loves to eat - but because she is constantly on the go. Addy has been walking since about 10 1/2 months and has now taken to running. She loves reading her books, playing peek-a-boo, and waving "hi" to her best friend Indy.

Here are some shots of Addy of celebrating her first birthday.

With some of her favorite new toys - her doll, her castanets, and her corn popper.


Addy did not dive into her cake...the best she did was stick her finger in the icing and try to feed it to her daddy. Oh well, maybe next year.

And here's Addy and her Uncle Jay at a shared birthday party in Toledo.
