December Days

I know we say it every single month, but I cannot believe December is over half way gone!  Soon, Addison will be 7 months old!  Holy Cow!

This past Sunday, Santa stopped by Joyful Life for a quick visit after church!

Addison wasn’t too sure what to think of him!

I have this wee and next week off school!  Yea!  We were a little bored inside the house yesterday, so we went outside for a photo op.

SDC18138

Since it is 80+ degrees here, it was almost too hot to be out in pants!

As soon as I put her down, I realize she had never been in the grass before, but she didn’t seem to mind!

Happy December!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year…

Holy Cow!  We only have one week until it is Christmas break!  I am thrilled!  Even more so because this last week of school is full of fun, movie days and pajama day!

Our sweet girl turned 6 MONTHS old last week!  WHAT?!  When did that happen?  Jimmy and I agree that this has probably been the hardest six months, but really we wouldn’t change any of it!  We just love Addison so much!

SDC17993

Last weekend, she woke up not feeling so hot!  (See the picture above!)  Poor girl had a stuffy nose and maybe a bit of a fever.  After several loooong hours of being in the house, we decided to give her Tylenol and head to a place called Seven Acre Woods to meet Santa.

There was so much more to do than just meet Santa!  They had a petting zoo with all types of friendly animals!  Addison was as excited as a baby can get!

SDC18009

They also had baby swings!!  She LOVED them!! 

SDC18013 SDC18017

She did so good meeting Santa!  The actual picture they gave us is precious!  She has a great big smile on her face!

SDC18021

In keeping with her day of firsts, we gave her some cotton candy!  Just like me, she loved it!  Who doesn’t?!

SDC18023 SDC18025

On Sunday we went to lunch and I snapped this cute picture!

SDC18027 SDC18028

She is no longer sleeping with her swaddle and I think she loves it!  Every time I look at her monitor or go in her room, her arms are spread far apart!

SDC18030 SDC18031

I thought these two from her 27 week picture turned out so cute!

Oh!  And we think the reason she was so stuffy and feverish is because her first tooth broke through this week!  YEA!

Family Pictures!

Over the Thanksgiving break, we had our first round (of many, I’m sure) of family pictures taken!

The main reason I wanted pictures taken is because of this tutu!

I think they turned out great!  We have taken Addison to Penny’s nearly every month for pictures.  They have great deals and good coupons!

I wasn’t going to do Christmas cards, but because of the awesome Shutterfly deal from my previous post, I just had to!

We used all the pictures on our card and it looks great!

We also got one ‘non-Christmasy’ picture taken!
