11 months old.

well, addison is now 11 months old. she is full of surprises and new things each day. she says "please" in sign language(something she learned at daycare). she has waving 'bye bye' down pat. she loves food of any kind, and even if she has already eaten, if you have food, she is there in a second begging like a little puppy for some of yours. she stands on her own, as long as she doesn't realize she is doing it, and walks with you, but only if she can grip your fingers, and if you try to let go of her, she instantly plops onto her butt. it is still amazing to me that i am a mommy. it is a lot harder than it looks sometimes. trying to teach a little one, that you are responsible for, discipline and kindness, is so hard. and it seems that everyone has advise on child rearing, but you still have to figure things out on your own. so, my prayer is that brock and i will continue to rely on God for help in raising addison, and that we are always consistent with her in everything we do, and that we would raise her to be a beautiful child of God.
on a different note, sorry it has been a while since we have posted pics, but our computer crashed, so we were without for a few weeks. we are staying busy with work, trying to keep an active little girl entertained, and brock is busy with making all sorts of things from laceys wedding invitations to jonathans grad announcements.
we are anxiously awaiting for our house to be built. we drive by at least once a week hoping there is progress. as of now, we are still a pile of dirt, but when they do start, we will keep you all updated with pics.

Our Hula baby

Thanks Clint and Alissa for this awesome outfit. addison wasn't sure what to think when we put it on her, but we sure thought it was CUTE!!!! :)

cruising with her toy.
our barricade from the plants. addison loves to pick the leaves off and throw the dirt all over the floor
addison loves socks... she will carry them all over the house with her. it is amazing how easily entertained little ones can be.

PEEKABOO

Addison like to go in between the fish tank stand and the ottoman. this day she was peeking out the end and thought it was soooo funny

Addison was so eager to pull items out of the grocery bags. she is so helpful!

we put addison in her crib for a nap.....she was awake when we laid her down, and after about 5 minutes, i went to check on her and this is how she fell asleep.
