9 Months on November 8th

Here are Addison's 9 month pictures that I am really late posting. Her 9 month pictures were the hardest yet. Trying to get her to stand or sit by the board was a big task & having her smile all at once...Wow!!! As you can see, well we were not too successful this month. Now I must admit when I took these pictures on her 9 month birthday, I was in a hurry so I did not take as much time as I would have liked. Oh, well the pictures still show her growth! She is roughly 29 inches (that is according to Nick and I measuring her - which means we may be a little off) & weighs just over 18 pounds.

She is cruising all the furinture & loves getting around either by cruising or crawling. She is super fast with crawling!!! She also can transfer from one peice of furniture to another in order to get where she wants to go. She loves being walked while you hold her hands!! She is into everything. Daycare asked the other day if she was as much as a "busy body" at home? I laughed & said you have met her Dad right? Another funny story, the other day Addison climbed into the walker at daycare by herself...her teachers heard her crying out & looked over. She had climbed into the walker by herself....but had both legs in one hole! So yes, she has started to climb. Now she can't climb anything that is too high; but, if it low & leads to something higher she is not afraid & will do it!

She has started to eat alot more table food. She loves spaghetti, green beans, squash, & oranges. She really is a good eater; but, has gotten where she wants table food over "baby food". We still give her both of course.

Addison can say dada & now I think she associates Nick and dada! She also says Cat. I would say that Cat was her first word! It is so cute when she says it when Kat, our cat, comes by. She loves our cat.....only problem, she has not figured out how to be gentle yet. She attacks Kat most of the time....of course all because she is excited!!!

Addison has started to point....not sure how or where she learned how to point. But it's cute for now! Dr. Shelley, our pediatrician, says pointing is a huge milestone (did you know that; I sure didn't).

Addison continues to be a good baby & loves to laugh & smile. She is a very happy, active baby!!! Nick and I are continued to be blessed with such a wonderful daughter!!!

Mason Turns One

Mason turns one on Wednesday; but, his birthday party was this Sunday.

Happy Early Birthday Mason!!

Just two random funny face pictures of Addison....

Just a peak....

Here is a peak at a recent photo session.....Isn't Tucker the cutest little boy!! Because he was so good during our photo session, he got to go see Santa Clause after pictures! It was so funny during the photo session at one point I was laying on the ground trying to get that perfect shot & next thing I know Tucker was coping me....we all started to laugh!!!

The Happiest Place on Earth.....of course, Disney World!!!

The happiest place on Earth.....

Back in October, we went to Disney World with most of the Grayson crew. All the grandchildren were there so it was alot of fun!!! This of course was Addison's first trip to Disney....we visited Magic Kingdom, Epcot, & Animal Kingdom! Addison did very well at all the parks. She enjoyed looking around at all the people; but, I guess we could have done that at the mall here in Savannah! Anyways, it was worth going just because we got to spend time with family! Next trip to Disney, I hope to get more of a reaction out of Addison (not that I expected one this time)....I'm just saying that I can't wait until next trip because she will really enjoy being there!! Here are some pictures from our trip.....

This is the extent that we were able to get Addison to wear her Mickey Mouse hat....she was not so happy with the hat.....maybe she will wear it at our next visit to Disney......

At least someone got some use out of Addison's hat......

Okay, sorry for so many pictures....I didn't realized that I had this many to upload! But in a nutshell that was our trip to Disney World!!

Fun, Fun!!!

Naturals....

What happens when you have naturals in front of the camera; well it makes my job super easy. April & Cody are naturals in front of the camera. We got some great shots of them during a recent photo session!! These are just a few....I had a super hard time deciding which shots to post on the blog.....(April & Cody - I hope to have your pictures posted in the next few days....I'll let you know as soon as I do.)
