These pictures were taken on my cell phone today so they are not that great, but they fit her personality so well. We are so lucky to have such a happy baby. This is the way she is most of the time. we have so much fun with her.

Pictures Pictures Pictures

Well, alot has happened, there are lots of random pictures of Addison growing up way too Fast, and thanksgiving. This picture below is Addison with her great grandma Heap. It became my favorite picture immediately. They both look so sweet in it. We spent Thanksgiving here in SJ because Bens job keeps us kinda grounded sometimes, and with me working now it makes it hard for us to be on the same schedule. Addison is eight months old now. she has two teeth. She has no interest in crawling if you ask me, but who knows she could surprise us. I guess thats about it for now. Im sure there's more, but Ill just go with short and sweet!

This picture if of my Friends newest little girl Alli, this was the first time we got to meet her because they live in louisianna.

Addison's First Halloween

Addison was a Spider and I was a Web. Ben drew a web on a shirt for me ;) Addison was so tired that I didnt make it very far before she fell asleep.

New Things

Addison is sitting up on her own now, and she has her first tooth ;) I just finished my first week of my new job at the Apache County Attorneys Office and I really like it. Its hard to be away from the baby, but Im really enjoying the job. Ben and I are still not moved into my moms house. Its taking alot longer than we thought to get my mom and sisters stuff all moved out but its getting really close. Were going to do some updates in it before we move in though. Well thats all for now I guess

Happy Anniversary

Well, this post is a little late. It was our first anniversary last sunday the 11th. We decided to picnic instead of going out to eat. We went out to Lyman Lake. It was a really nice day and all the leaves on the tress are changing to yellow. It was really pretty out there, we had a really good time together. Then that night we cut our cake and it actually tasted good ;) This first year of marriage has been CRAZY ;) We went from single to married to parents all in one year. So many changes, but I coudlnt have asked for a better person to do it with. My husband is such a sweetie. He does so much to help all the time. He does laundry and dishes and housework, and helps with the baby the only thing I think he wont do is cook ;) Unless he has to. I honestly don't know what id do if I had a husband that expected me to do everything. I'm so thankful for him and all his hard work. He works so hard to make sure our family has everything we want and need. Thanks for being such a good hubby Ben I LOVE YOU!. This has been the best year of my life.

Update...

Addison is six months old now, WOW I can hardly believe it ;) Shes growing so fast. I started her on cereal a couple weeks before she was six months and she loves it. So far shes had whole wheat cereal, bananas, and sweet Potatoes. She constantly sticks her tongue out, its hilarious! She is so close to sitting up. Shell sit for a short time by herself but then she falls over. She loves to stand up. If you stand her up next to the couch shell stand there for a good amount of time before she buckles. She is such a good baby, we have a blast with her. Shes so curious about everything and everyone. She is always grabbing things now which is taking some getting used to. Ive about had a lap full of dinner several times;) She still wakes up several times a night which is killing me, but I dont know how to fix it.

Update on us...We are in the process of buying a house and were so excited. I cant wait to have my own space to decorate. Im going back to work in about a week. I got a job at the county attorneys office. Ill be working four tens, Im really nervous about leaving Addison, but I know that shell be fine.

Addison is Five Months

On the 31st Addison was five months old, I still can't believe how fast its gone by. Whenever she smiles she scrunches up her nose and squints her eyes. Its so funny. She also LOVES bath time. she could be in the worst mood ever and you put her in the bath shes happy as can be and KICKS like crazy. She always has to be rocked to sleep, but today she fell asleep on her own under her play dome.

Were does the time go....

It flies by! It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing my baby home from the hospital and she will be five months in a few days. Anyway, she has quite the personality now. she loves to play with toys, mostly ones the rotate in the air like the fan haha! She still cant stand to be left alone. she has to have all attention on her at all times, and when she does she is so happy, smiling and laughing all the time! She is an early bird. she wakes up for the day as happy as can be around 6 at the latest... She tries to sit up but doesn't quite have it yet. I cant believe my baby is growing so fast.

Upside Down

I went in to get Addison out of her Crib and she had her feet where her head had been when I laid her down. She barely knows how to roll over I'm not sure how she did that, but it was pretty funny.

New Things

Well, Last night Addison slept in her crib. It wasn't the first time, but it was the first time without us in there with her. We started her in her crib at the beginning of the week, but we were sleeping on the floor in her room because we had family visiting, so last night was her first night alone in her own room. She did fine, same as any other night. And I did fine too, with a baby monitor I still felt like she was right by me.

Addisons Blessing

Saturday night We blessed Addison. We planned on doing it much sooner, but we couldn't get the family all together before now. It went so well. I just want to tell my husband what a GREAT job he did. Ben gave her such a sweet blessing. I am so blessed to have a husband who holds the priesthood and is able to bless our baby. He is such a good man, I couldn't have found a better husband and father. I love you sweetie! Also thanks to all the men who participated in her blessing.

Pioneer Days~

We had a bunch of family here for the week to celebrate the 24th with us, it was alot of fun. Ben and I participated in the volleyball tournament and our team won the championship. I couldn't have done it without all the help with the baby from my family. THANKS!

These are some pictures of Ben playing with the kids. They all LOVE their Uncle Ben!

Also for some reason we had a hawk in our yard and Ben got some really close up pictures of it. He thinks it must have been hurt since it was letting them get so close.
