Christmas

Baby's First Christmas was filled with lots of laughter and love.  Addisyn and Daddy drove up to the McNeely's Christmas Eve morning.  Mommy came up after she got off work and went home to get the doggies.  Nana and Daddy made a super yummy dinner for us and then we opened presents.  Addisyn got super tired though by the time we got to presents, so Mommy didn't get hardly any pictures.  Then we packed up and went to the Gettler's and opened presents there too.  Needless to say, we were all exhausted crashed when our heads hit the pillow!  Here are some pictures from the day...

The one-sie I started out the day in.

Cousin Spencer and Cousin Danielle.
They were so happy to see Addisyn and were big helpers all day!

Presents under the tree at the Gettler's house.

Here I am with all my Christmas presents!!  The look on my face says "Woah Baby, what am I going to do with all of these!!!"

The cute one-sie Grandma got for me!

My reindeer outfit.  It says Baby's 1st Christmas and has the littlest antlers.  I'm so cute!!  Unfortunately, I'm growing like a weed and couldn't straighten my legs out so we had to put something else on for the rest of the day.

This outfit is much better.  And I'm still super cute!!

Uncle Justin got me a penguin and a hat to match the penguin's hat!!  Don't we make a sweet pair!! :)

Here I am with Mommy reading Mother Goose Rhymes that Santa Claus brought me!  I love to read and can't get enough of the stories.  See me turn the pages!

Baptism

Okay, so mommy's running a bit behind, but in her defense, it's been a very busy couple of weeks.  Mommy graduated on Saturday, December 19th and Addisyn was Baptised on Sunday, December 20th.  We had lots of family and friends over to help us celebrate!

Here are some pictures from the day...

Getting ready to go to Church in my pretty dress!  It was so poofy that I almost didn't fit in my carseat!!

My yummy cake.  Mommy snapped a picture before we left b/c she knew she'd be busy when we got home!

Here's a picture of one of the little christening gown cookies mommy got for me.  They were a big hit with all the kids and were really yummy too!!

Father Pat is Baptising Addisyn.  He said my big blue eyes got super big when he poured that cold water over my head!!

I was such a good girl.  I didn't cry at all.  Here I am talking to Uncle Justin.  I was having a chat with him about how I got jipped on that bath time.

Here we are with Father Pat and Godmother Elizabeth and Godfather Justin.

With the grandparents.

 And the Great-Grandparents.  They drove all the way down from NWI to see us today!

Then Back to the House for Yummy Eats!!

Here I am with Mommy's Uncle Duane and Aunt Joanne.  This was the first time they got to hold me! :)

Here I am with mommy and her good friends Kami and Renata.  We were so happy they could make it to our special day!

Here I am taking a nap with Grandma Great. She was so happy to hold me and love on me!

When everyone had left for the evening, we just chilled with daddy.  I have my A-Doe-Able hat on here.  No wonder mommy just wants to eat me up... I'm such a ham!!!






And one of us at Mommy's Graduation for good measure...

We were so proud of her!!  Go Mommy!!

3 Months Old!

Addisyn had another busy week.  Last Sunday, Jon and Kaila came over to take 3 month photos.  Addisyn was such a good girl.  She even fell asleep at the end of the session - being cute sure wears you out!!  :)  We can't wait to see how they turned out!

Addisyn turned 3 months old on Friday and spent the day with Grandpa.  Supposedly, they had one fun 3 month birthday party, but mommy didn't see any evidence when she got home from work.  Apparently what happens with Grandpa, stays with Grandpa.  Ha ha!!

Here are a few pics from the week... mommy can't believe how fast time flies and how much her little girl seems to grow overnight!

Hanging with daddy

Helping Mommy wrap Christmas presents!!

Checking out Grandpa.  What on earth is he saying??  Oh yeah, he tells me bluuu-lah, bluuu-lah, bluuu-lah!!  He's soooo funny!!

Grandpa, those are MY toes!!

There's a smile!!  :)

Playing with Eddie the Elephantunes!  I think I'm finally bigger than he is  now!!

Getting kisses from Suzie. I figured out this week that the doggies have super soft ears!!

Watching TV with Uncle Justin.  He laughs at me b/c I learned this week how to grunt.  It's sooo cute, mommy says, I go uhhh uhhh!!

Looking cute with Uncle Joey!  We were getting ready to go to Daddy's Fire Department Christmas Party...

Okay, so mommy forgot to grab the camera and resorted to the cell phone.  If you look really close, you can see me at BW3's with Daddy and Uncle Keiser!

Taking a nap with Uncle Joey.

I'm so precious when I'm sleeping!!









Okay folks, that's all for this week.  See you again soon!

11 Weeks

Addisyn had another fun filled week.  She went to day-care for the first time this week.  Mommy was more traumatized than anyone, but we all survived.  Mommy almost made it through a full week of work.  Friday brought on new issues - a possible inner ear issue - totally messing with her balance.  She's got some medicine now to fight off the symptoms, but unfortunately, it's not getting much better yet. 

Here are some pics from the week...

This is what I look like when I blow bubbles!!

Addisyn in her funny hat!

This is the bad hair day (after daddy takes off my funny hat).

So precious!

Grandma came to watch Addisyn so mommy and daddy could go to a holiday party.  Addisyn was so good for Grandma!  :)

Playing with my friends in my bouncy seat! 

Hanging out with Mommy on the couch!

Daddy thought it was time to weigh me again and see how big I've gotten.  Here I am laying on the scale having fun laughing at Daddy ... Mommy says about 12.5 lbs now - it's hard to tell when I'm wiggling!






That's all for this week!  See you later! :)

Baby's First Thanksgiving!

We are officially All Turkied-Out!!  After spending Thursday with daddy at the fire house, Friday at Grandma and Grandpa's, and Saturday at the McNeely's, mommy thinks that we'll pass on the turkey for a little bit!  Here are some pics from our Holiday Weekend...

We also had a visit from Aunt Donna and Uncle Rich.  We were so happy they came to see us!

Auntie Elizabeth stopped to see us too!  She brought us our very first Christmas ornament!  A little monkey! :)

Great Grandma Leonard came to see us too!  We finally got our 4 generation picture!!  Yay!!  Addisyn had all kinds of stories to tell Grandma Great and she showed her how she learned to blow bubbles too!

One more hug for Auntie Julie before she had to get on the road and head back to North Carolina!
