Can I have some "nana" with that?

Addison said her first word on Monday!!! My mom was sitting on the floor eating a banana and Addison crawled up to her and said "nana". My mom gave her some and she then said "MMM". Video to come!!! I cannot believe my little peanut is talking!!!!

These Boots were made for Walkin'

Miss Addison has started walking with some assistance from her lion friend. Today she walked from our driveway to the neighbors driveway with only a little help from dad to get her over the bumps. Here is some video of her walking and just being silly!!!

Update

A couple of busy weekends have gone by and I haven't had a chance to blog. We celebrated Addison's birthday Labor Day weekend with my family (as well as many other family birthdays that weekend) and then last weekend up at Ryan's folks. Addison had a ball. She wasn't sure what to do with the cake the first time but the second time around, she really went for it!!! It was a great couple of weekends and I still cannot believe my little peanut is 1!!!!!

Today's the day!!! Happy 1st Birthday Addison!!!!

Her favorite thing to do with the paper this time was throw it on the floor. Here is a progression of what this photo session looked like. She is in the chair that her Grandma and Grandpa Meyer bought her for her birthday.

Yeah, I am one today!!!!!!

The year has flown by and I cannot believe that my baby is one. It is hard to believe that this time last year I was about to embark on the most amazing journey of my life, motherhood. I could not have asked for a more amazing child for my first. Here are some things that she loves to do.

• Her favorite babbles are "da-da-da" even when I ask her to do "ma-ma-ma". She can do that I have heard her but she just likes to tease mom.
• She loves to clap and wave at people. She is quite the little flirt.
• She loves remotes, cell phones, and anything that big people have that she knows she is not supposed to have.
• She still loves to cuddle when she is tired. ( I love that!!!)
• She loves to be loud. (Thanks Grandma Judy) j/k
• She loves Yogurt melts and Puffs.
• She is great at turning the pages of books. She can be hard on them if they aren"t board books.
• She loves hanging out at Grandma's during the day with her cousin Carter, even though she is still a little rough and likes to take his toys from him. (Look out Addison, he is probably going to be bigger than you!!!)
  
  

School and other things

It has been awhile since I updated last. School has started for me so that means Addison spends time at Grandma's when her papa is working or more time with her papa when he is working nights or off. School is going well but I miss spending time with my peanut. She is starting to wave at people when she sees them or when they leave. Her birthday is coming up and I still cannot believe that she is almost one. She has already gotten one gift from her Grandma and Grandpa Meyer that she loves. It is a little chair that matches her room and her are some pics of her and her new chair. Also her is a preview of Addison in her Halloween costume.
Okay, not lovin the chair in the 1st photo but that is because Mommy made her mad. She did not want her picture taken!!

11 months today!!

I cannot believe that my little miracle is 11 months old today and that one month from now we will be celebrating her first birthday! How time flies!!! It seems like yesterday I was spending all my time in the NICU and wishing for the day that we would get out of there and finally get to come home. Addison is doing very well and is doing all of the things that a 9 month old would be doing and even some things that an 11th month of should be doing and that is exactly where they want her. She will probably catch up by 2 or so. I am afraid that she is always going to be a little peanut but thats okay. My biggest worry is going to find shoes that would be good for walking feet because her feet are still so tiny!!! Here are some pictures of her.

RIP Mabel Sable, Hello G6

About a week and a half ago Ryan was driving home from work like any normal day and was sitting at the Utica Ridge and 53rd street intersection. The light was red so he was waiting when he gets slammed by a Ford Fusion that then pushed him into the SUV in front of him. No one was hurt thank goodness but the girl that hit him was going at least 35. Ryan said that he saw her coming and had enough time to brace himself on the steering wheel and put two feet on the brake. Needless to say, Mabel is totaled so Ryan and I had to go car shopping. Good thing we know someone in the car biz. We bought a 2006 Pontiac G6 with a sunroof (for Hank mostly since he likes to stick his head out). Just kidding, we both really wanted a sunroof because we felt like that would be something that we would miss. Here are some photos of poor Mabel and the new G6.
