Our big little girl

It's hard for me to believe that more than one year has gone by with Addie. She is still our baby, but is getting so big! Here are a few pictures to show you just how big our little girl is.

She likes to build things now, like this tower with grandad

And she loves to walk...

...and be carried way up high!

She loves her daddy (her shirt says "My dad is the man")

And she loves to just be a big girl!

Wayne and I are leaving today for Senegal for a week, and we will sure miss her. I have lots of pictures of her to take with me, and a few of us to leave with her :)

No special occasion...

Just thought you might want to see pictures of two pretty cute people...

Try and keep up!

Well, she really started walking this weekend! She doesn't fall too much anymore and can even turn corners (as you see in this video!)




Another exciting feat tonight. We had dinner at Emmaus and Addie walked all the way from the front of the school to the dining hall! If you've ever been there, you know that's a really long ways (it's an old Catholic seminary, and so the chapel in the middle of the school is long and skinny, and she walked the length of that). Luckily, we started out 10 minutes before dinner time, so we made it just on time!

Dancing

I think she gets her dancing skills from her dad!

Fall Fun

The weather was so great this week that we went to a park with Jenna and Elias to take some pictures. The kids had a great time crawling around and exploring! Here are some of my favorites.

Addie loves to give Elias kisses, and he takes it pretty well too!

"Here Elias, let me show you..."

Ok, this wasn't at the park, but I thought it was cute. She loves shoes now, hers, mine, whoever's she can find. Well, we hadn't quite gotten her clothes on after her bath last night, but she wanted those shoes on! So here she is.
