Addison is ONE!!!....well 14 months now.....

This is a post I started right after Addison's birthday.....
Okay so a quick post with some of Addison's stats now that she is ONE and I will add more pictures from the party and more details later....
For the first time today I didn't get to go with one of the kids for their checkup visits.  After the flu has plagued our entire house last week I have missed too many school days and with Eric being off today I had to tell myself it was OKAY for him to take her.   SOOOO I sent Eric with quite the list of questions and waited right by the phone to hear all about it.....
Addison is such a little peanut compared to her big brother.  She barely made it in the 50th percentiles in each and every category.  Collin was always off the charts or in the top 97 percentile for everything!

Here are her stats.....
Weight: 19 pounds
Height: 29 inches
Now only 3 months later I will finish updating it:)

Addison's birthday party was just perfect.  A day spent with my family and Eric's family just simply hanging out at our house playing and talking together.  Shelley, George and Joyce all flew in from Ohio and the Robinson's as well as the Day(Brian)'s came down to help us celebrate.  I went with an owl theme and it really did turn out very cute. I do have to say for this one, I discovered the joys of online shopping where it all gets delivered to your door! Let me just say it is AMAZING, but can also be a bit dangerous.  We ended up doing a mid morning party, at lunch, Addison opened presents, ate cake and even before everyone left Addison was down for a nap exhausted from all the excitement. 

Here are some recent pics of Miss Addison....I think she has officially become a little girl!

Looking like a little farm girl

My favorite hiding places/places to play

Rocking the new pony tail:)

I LOVE my wagon...no matter how cold it is.

First trip to the beach....not so much in love with the whole sand thing!

Here is what Addison is doing at one.
Talking: loves to talk! 
Says momma, dadda, Cal Cal(collin) ball, caca(cat), da(dog), pease(please), more.
Now at 14 months she is repeating everything you say, and has a few more words like outside, yes, no, go go go(from cat and the hat). 

Walking: Not so much! At a year walking was not on the top of her agenda.  She really did not care to walk or even learn how.  She was holding on to everything and scaling the walls to get her way around, but she definitely preferred to crawl. 

Eating: She will eat just about anything.  She loves pasta and strawberries at anytime of the day!

Personality:  Addison's personality has always been this very layed back go with the flow kind of girl.  She is still pretty easy going, but I think she has finally learned that she can start to have an opinion about things so she will just make a loud continuos shrieking sound when she wants you to pay attention to her.  Otherwise, she is just so happy and smiles all the time. 

Momma's Girl: She is definitely a momma's girl.  Anytime we go anywhere, it takes her quite some time to warm up to her new surroundings and will completely scream if I even think about leaving the room or letting anyone else hold her.....I do love this...but at some point she has to start breaking out!

Paci: She LOVES her pacifier.  We are now only having it at bed times and in the car, but if you leave laying around or in her bed that she can still reach it she will have that thing in her mouth in an instant. 

Brotherly love: She loves her brother so much. She still watches his every move and is starting to immitate he actions and movements.  However, she is finally starting to hold her own. Collin use to be able to take a toy from her and replace it with a different toy of his choice, but she no longer allows this to happen.  She quietly pushes his head aside or grabs the toy before he can.  She has decided at this point she is going to hold her own against her older brother.

Oh the excitement:  Addison gets sooo excited about the littlest things.  She absolutely loves Collin's kitty cats and any time he shares them with her she gets so excited by laughing and giggling non stop.

It is so hard to believe that Addison is already one!  This past year she has brough so many smiles, hugs, and the love that you can sometimes get so involved in your busy day that even my little sweet pea can always remind me that everything will be ok.  Sometimes after running around like a crazy lady trying to get everything in, it is the snuggle time right before bed that she gives me every night as we sit, read books and sing songs that I am able to be so thankful for this amazing little girl because truly has brought so much joy to our lives.
