15 months old

I am 15 months old. Christmas is coming soon. I can't wait to open the boxes under the tree. I helped Mommy and Daddy pick out our tree, and decorate it. We had so much fun. We have had lots of snow here and I loved sledding. I didn't have a sled so Daddy pulled me around in an laundry basket. It was so much fun. I got cold really fast though. I didn't like to walk in the snow because it was to deep for me. Snow is so pretty. I am walking really well now even though I waddle a little still. I am practicing a lot. I am looking forward to seeing all of muy realatives this Christmas. We will be busy but I know I will have a great time. Mommy says it is time for a nap so I need to say "Bye Bye"

14 Months Old

I'm a big girl. I am 14 months old. I'm so big that I flew across the country for the first time. I visited my Great Grammie and Grampie in Maine. I also got to see my Mommy's Aunt and Uncle and cousins in Massachusetts. What a fun time. I missed my Daddy a lot. I have 5 teeth - 4 front ones and 1 molar! I am talking and signing a lot more. I am starting to stand on my own. I have only taken a half a step but I am gathering up my courage to walk on my own.

13 Months Old

I am 13 months old today. I have just learned a few new signs. I added the signs Mommy and Daddy as well as help and food to all the others I use regularly. I have really enjoyed playing with my cousin Shaylee this month. Also last weekend I got to see most of my cousins on the Bradley side and all the cousins on the McClure side all in one day! Lots of fun for me! Mommy said she will post some pictures soon. We misplace the camera since we got home from our camping trip. I love camping. I had a loft bed all to myself. I think Grammie and Grampie's trailer is like an Addie sized house. Something exciting is happening in a few weeks. Mommy and Daddy will tell me if I get a baby brother or a baby sister. I can't wait to meet my baby. I am practicing to be good with my dollies. Mommy tells me about the baby every day. I don't quite understand but Mommy says I will love my baby and also be a big helper. I even get to sleep in a big girl bed. I will try to finish writing later.
I love you all,
Addison.

One year old!

I am one year old. I have come a long way this year. I have four teeth and Mommy thinks I am working on a couple more. I am so close to standing and walking on my own. I have become quite a climber and can get myself in some interesting spots. I love to stand on my stool and talk to people and animals out the window as they pass by. I had a wonderful birthday. I celebrated with the McClure side a few weeks early so that I could celebrate the same day as my cousin Karalynn, Grampie McClure and Auntie Amy. I really enjoyed my carrot cake. It was pink and green with a huge flower on top. I then had another birthday party with the Bradley side. I ate a pink Chocolate cake and made such a mess. My whole family gave me so many fun things to play with and beautiful clothes to wear. The only sad part about my birthday was I had a bad cold and wasn't feeling very well. My Mommy and Daddy want to take me for a birthday picture but I keep falling down and bumping myself or getting scratched by the kitty when I play with her. Mommy has decided that maybe she can't wait until I stop hurting myself because then she will never get me in for pictures. I got a Dolly for my birthday and I love to hold her and pat her back or rock her. Mommy is teaching me how to be nice to a baby since in about 6 months I will have a baby sister or Brother of my own to play with. I think the time will pass really fast. I'll tell you more next month.

11 Months

I am 11 months old today. I have learned so many things this month. I love to walk with push toys. I can't walk by myself yet but I am getting stronger and will do it on my own soon. This month I have spent lots of time playing with cousin Shaylee. She loves to give me hugs. My favorite place to play are the stairs in Shaylee's house. I love to climb stairs and Shaylee is helping me learn how to slide down them on my belly. My Mommy and Daddy told me some good news this month. They told me that I am a big sister but I have to wait until March to meet my new little sister or brother. I don't really know what that means yet but I think it should be fun. I have two teeth on the bottom and I like to show them off with my huge smiles. I still love to dance and clap my hands with music. I still love water, wether it is my bath or Grammie's pool I have a lot of fun.

10 months old

I am 10 months old and guess what...I just cut my first tooth a few days ago...July 8th. We were at the zoo and I was eating tuna and Mommy saw my tooth. Boy is it sharp! I can pull myself up next to anything now. I am so curious that I get myself into trouble. I am learning the meaning of "no" and "don't touch". Mommy has had fun with my curly hair this month. I am so cute with bows in my hair. I love the hot weather because I love to swim. Mommy and Daddy bought me a little swimming pool. I love to splash. I don't really like to sleep when my room is too hot though. I'll finish this later.

Aren't We Cute - 4th of July

Sleepy Girl

9 months old

I'm 9 months old and I am a crawler now! I am getting so good at it. Mommy is having a hard time keeping up with me. I love to chase after the kitties and they love me. They both are happy to let me pet them and they get up when they have had enough with me. I have had so much fun this month playing with my cousin Shaylee. I still don't have any teeth but they are really bugging me. I love to chew and drool all over everything. I am pulling myself up to a stand once and a while.

I'm 8 Months Old

I am 8 months old. I am learning to really move around my house. I roll so fast but I really want to crawl. I can crawl and scoot backwards but I am having a hard time figuring out how to go forward. I just learned to sit up from a belly position. I also love to clap now. Mommy sings "If Your Happy And You Know It" and I clap and smile. Mommy and Daddy bought me a swing for the tree out side. I love it! My hair is growing faster and curling more and more. Mommy puts pretty bows in my hair and I'll leave them there if I don't know they are there. I still love hats. I like my new sun glasses and I'm so cute in them, but I really like to play with them so I don't leave them on my face.

7 months old

Today I am 7 months old. This month I weighed in at 15lb 10 oz, 26.5 inches long. I am so much fun! I am quick to laugh when tickled, and while playing peekaboo. I am happy to sit and play on my own for a while as long as someone plays with me afterward.

Our Little Crawler

6 Months Old

Today I am six months old. I love growing bigger I can do so many more things. I love to talk. I can say "Mama", "Baba", and "Wow" I haven't figured out how to say "Dada" yet even though Mommy and Daddy are trying really hard to teach me. Don't worry I'll eventually figure it out. Today I have a cold I have been very healthy these last few months but I don't feel so well today. I shared it with Mommy again so we are cuddling and sniffling together. I love to eat food from a spoon. I have tried so many things. (rice cereal, carrots, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, corn, mashed potatoes, squash, apples, pears, peaches, bananas, and mixed fruit) The only thing I don't really like so far is Green Beans. I'll eat them but gag every few bites or so. Mommy got me a bicycle helmet so that we can go on bick rides. I have a seat on the back of Daddy's bike just for me. The helmet looks pretty big on me. but I can't wait to try it out. I definately have some red in my hair. It's not just read but some blonde or light brown mixed in too. I look best in purple, green, peach, light pink and blue. I'm so cute! Don't take my word for it, just look at my pictures.

5 Months Old

I'm growing so fast. I am getting better at rolling over. I can scoot and roll off my blanket to get to where I want to go. I'm a lot more stable when I sit up although I still topple when I try to reach for a toy that's too far away. I just started eating rice cereal and applesauce. So Yummy!!I no longer have a bald spot on the back of my head I grew enough hair to cover it up. My hair is starting to look a little red especially in the sun. Maybe I'm following after my Great Grammie Stocker.

4 Months Old

I am four months old. I have learned to do so many things. I chew on my hands and anything I can pull to my mouth. I love to drool all over my pretty clothes. I'm glad Mommy has lots of bibs for me! I had a great Christmas. I visited with all of my family. My Mommy and Daddy took so many pictures-with a new camera. I am so photogenic. If you don't believe me just take a look. I went to the doctor on the 21st I am 13pounds 12 ounces and 23 3/4 inches long. I'm growing so big I am wearing 6 month clothes. I am trying to cut some teeth but they are being stubborn and don't want to come in. I can roll over with a little help but I will do it on my own soon. I've learned how to scream and like to make my opinion known. I am really interested in food and would love to try some but my mommy wants me to still wait a little longer. I know she will have the camera ready when it is time.
