Happy B-Day Grandpa!

We had a family cook-out at Aaron and Jill's house to celebrate my Dad's birthday, and my parents anniversary is also the next day. It was a beautiful day, and we all had a great time. Aunt Jill has watched Addison a couple of days in the last month so Addi felt right at home. She was walking all around like she owned the place. She also is in love with thier new kitties.

Grandma and Grandpa McCormick with their girl!

Grandpa and Addi. She hardly every will look at the camera!

Watching her cousins, Grace and Josh, play outside with the kitties. They loved the kitties too!
So fascinated with the kitties.

Meg's Baby Shower

I was in charge of decorations for Meg's baby shower. She was supposed to find out if she was having a girl or boy, but Baby J was not very co-operative! So she loves red and wanted as much red as possible. It was very hard to find brown and red decorations, but I think it came together very well!

The diaper cake. Megan's aunt had a great idea to put it on this cake stand. I think it really made it pop!

Onesie bouqets and the diaper cake

I painted the pots to match the decor. I thought the polka dots really made it feel like baby decor.

These are onesie bouqets. The "white roses" are rolled carter onesies.

9 months old!

Addison is 9 months old (and a week or so, there seems to be a trend....)! She is becoming our little socialite which is hard to believe considering she had severe stranger danger from 3 months to about seven months. We look at her everyday and say, "I cannot believe how big she is...can you?" We went for her 9 month appointment today, she weighs 19 lbs 14 oz and is 26.5 inches long! She's a short little girl, but very healthy and very cute:) We have been very busy enjoying summertime with our baby girl. Here our some of her monthly milestones and pics...enjoy!

- she loves to clap (so cute!), give five, and wave bye-bye
- new favorite food is maderine oranges
- pulls all of the lids out of my lid drawer approx. 5-10x a day
- walks 6-10 steps then drops and crawls the rest of the way
-stands at the glass door (getting fingerprints all over it!) looking outside
- when we go shopping or out-and-about she will smile at people, if they do not look at her she then lets out a loud sqeal, waits for them to look and smiles again. She is such a stinker! And btw if they do not look, she will keep doing it until they do or they walk away.
- if I give her apple slices she will spend the entire mealtime eating those and not eat anything else
- she has two bottom teeth and she LOVES to brush them
- loves to pull everything out of the diaper bag and/or purse (both g-mas let her do this)
- she does not like to wear dresses b/c they totally intefere with her crawling speed
- if we leave her in a room, she can now crawl and come find us

She uses the pub-style table to get from the living room to the dining room so she doesn't have to crawl..its much faster that way.

This is an "electric" toothbrush for babies, and it is her favorite. She cries when we say she's done. It could be worse I guess, she could hate brushing her teeth...

It rained on the 4th, so no swimming! She wore her suit for a little while anyway b/c she looked soo cute!

Naptime with daddy.

So proud of herself to be standing and walking!

The lid drawer....

The classic spaghetti pic...every kid has one..and she's just about to touch her hair. We all know what comes next.
