Happy Birthday Grandma!

On Sunday we headed over to Leroy and Grandma's to celebrate Grandma's Birthday! Ladybug climbed the entire flight of steps! We couldn't believe it, she's climbed a few before but not the entire flight!

Happy New Year!

We had dinner at Lita's for the New Year. The Bug to a liking to Jonathan. Jonathan taught Ladybug what ice is. She liked it, she was so into it she lost a shoe.

Favorite Things...

Addison is a champion crawler now and she has advanced to climbing stairs, climbing up on anything, and I mean anything and everything. She has no fear. We are researching a helmet for the child, or bubble wrap or something. She also knows where the fan, lights and chandelier are when you ask her she looks at them and points. She also waves when you say "Hi" and gives high five. Anna and Walter taught her that one.

The entire crew reading a book.

She likes the handle of this one the best

She also loves helping get ready for bath time. She hears the water start and she takes off for the bathroom. It is really funny to see.

The Devil Made Me Do It

After the crazy Christmas rush, Addison was Baptized on Sunday, December 27th. She did awesome. Archbishop Fiorenza lead the mass. Auntie Ann is Ladybug's Godmother and our long time friend Stephen is her Godfather, two very special people to us. She was too cute in her Baptism gown and bonnet. She spit up right after she was baptized, Tim said it was a sign, exact words..."the Devil's out."

Before the Baptism, the Devil was still in her, you don't sleep in church.

Christmas at Leroy & Grandmas

After I got some sleep we spent the afternoon over at Leroy and Grandmas. Addison had a blast. Addison had a one of her "firsts" on this wonderful afternoon. We all sat down for dinner and it happened...It is still a hot debate of the cause of this horrible event so I'll put both sides out there. Addison was standing at the side of a playpen behind our seats at the table so as the food was passed, I gave Ladybug a piece of Leroy's turkey, she didn't quite know what to do with it, she just tasted it and that was it. Then came Leroy's squash. I figured she eats Gerber's squash so she should have no problem with Leroy's squash. WRONG!! She gagged on the squash and then for the next 10 minutes projectile vomited everywhere! After and outfit change and time to calm down she was back in action. So, you decide...Leroy's squash or Leroy's Turkey.

Christmas Morning

Ladybug had a great time on her first Christmas morning. I worked Christmas Eve but got to come home bright and early for Ladybug's first time opening presents. She loves opening presents! This picture doesn't quite do our tree justice. It was 11 feet high and 5 1/2 feet wide. We went a bit overboard, Tim and I swear it isn't the one we picked out, it just didn't seem that big at the place. Nothing like putting an 11 foot tree in a stand that only holds up to 8 foot trees. We definitely have stories about this one.
