8 Months Old

Here are a few pictures from about a week ago. Addison is getting into everything, but she is still a lot of fun. She has been making some "ma-ma" noises, and we just kind of ignored them, but tonight, she looked at me and yelled "MA-MA!" It could have been a coincidence, but it was pretty funny. She loves to eat anything other than baby food. She has been spoiled at the babysitter's with hot dogs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, crackers, and I'm sure some other things that we don't know about :)

First Thanksgiving

Addison enjoyed her first Thanksgiving. One of Nate's coworkers invited us to their house. Addison got to eat some sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. She also found the doggy door, so I guess that is one more thing we will need to watch out for!

Addison is Mobile!

Addison is 7 1/2 months old now, and after many weeks of tears, frustration and crawling backwards....ADDISON IS FINALLY CRAWLING! We are pretty excited, but we now realize that everything has changed. The dogs have come to the realization that they are no longer safe. They have no hiding spots left, because Addison will find them. Her favorite thing to do is to crawl to the dog dishes and the water dish and splash around. So, we had to put that away. I'm sure she will keep us even more busy now! She still only has two teeth, but I'm sure more will show up soon.

Addison Meets her Godmother

We took Addison to Oklahoma to meet her Godmother, Liz. We had a great time, and Addison got a lot of love from Liz's dogs, Hugo and Chewy.

Nate is HOME!

Nathan's squadron flew in today at about 2pm. We were so excited to see him. Addison smiled at him immediately and reached out her arms for Nate to take her. It was pretty sweet. We even made the Seattle news! They interviewed me with Addison, and then the three of us together. It was really neat to see it all on T.V. We will continue to update the website now that we are all together again!

Addison's First Halloween!

Addison was pretty excited to wear her costume yesterday. She looked too cute to stay in the house, so I took her out trick or treating to about ten houses. Here are a few pictures from our night. We are excited for Nate to come home on Sunday!!







"Hey, Mom! Where's my candy?"
