Smiling, Smiling, I am done

Trent and I have officially turned into the BIGGEST goofballs. We would go to just about any lengths to get Addyson to smile. Once Addyson and Daddy decided to get up Saturday and get ready for our day of pictures, Trent and I were on a mission. We put Addy in her bouncy seat, broke out the noisy pulley toys and started our dance. With wide eyes, big mouths, and lots of baby noises we were determined to get a smile out of our love bug. After making complete fools of ourselves and about 30minutes later we did succeed to get a little grin, but then she was done and the meltdown was soon to follow. I don't think we realized how much fun this baby thing was going to be. Have we told you all lately that GOD IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!

Grammie is the greatest

Trent's mom came over Saturday after our church pics to let us have a date night. She spent the night with us and we were also able to go to church together on Sunday. That was nice, because we haven't been to church together since Addyson came. We always take turns and someone stays at home with her. No shots, no church:) We are so blessed to have family so close to help us out with our sweet baby girl. We also had another photo shoot at home. You know it is not often that we are all dressed up without spitup on us, so you have to take advantage of every photo opportunity. We enjoyed our date night with our friends the Petersons. We enjoyed some Christmas shopping and Sushi, MmmmmMmmmm good.

Lazy morning/afternoon

I have to say that Saturday mornings are my absolute favorite. We all pile up in bed after Addyson's 7am feeding and veg for hours. It is the best part of the week. We get to relax and just be together as a family. This past Sat we stayed in bed till about 11am. But it just wasn't enough for my sweet boy and girl. As I was getting ready for our pics for the church directory my whole little family, dogs and all were sleeping the day away. They all looked so peaceful, sweet, and QUIET:)

Quite a show in her Mary Janes

Granny Great came over yesterday and Molly and Addyson both put on quite a show. Addyson just had to show off her new Mary Jane socks to Granny Great and Molly needed to tell her who was boss of the grey elephants in our house:) Granny Great is my dad's mom and Addyson's great granny, hence the name Granny Great. We had so much fun chatting it up with her, just relaxing and soaking in the beautiful day. Addyson was so relaxed that she decided to have her daily evacuation in front of Granny Great. Now I must say that we do have the sweetest baby who's poop doesn't stink because she is so sweet (HA). However, my precious little angel exploded on me BIG time. I have officially been christened by our little poop angel. Thank God Granny Great was here to help clean up the mess because it was HUGE. Needless to say she loved the show and was glad to be apart of our exciting day. What has our world come to when poop is the funny thing of the day:)

For all you Tech fans

The Big question on Addyson's mind is "to go to Tech or to not go to Tech, that is the question?" If her daddy has anything to do with it that is where she will be. Where many of her forefathers, cousins, friends, and practically all of Trents family went. She is so ready for Tech at a whopping 1 month old, that she is already trying out for the cheerleading team. Do we have a genius on our hands or what:) HeeHee. We sure do love our little cheerleader wherever she decides to go, but according to daddy, it better be Tech. Get ur Guns up Techies:)

Aunt Jemima eat your heart out:)

Ok, Trent put in most of these posts up until today. So I have to tell the story about the post on Oct 29th. As you all know I LOVE the bows. At my shower that my family threw for us my sassy cousins Tiff and Lindsey and their mom were there. Well they had gotten Addyson that HUGE cute head band with bow and some sassy diaper cover panties that say princess on the bum as you can see. I decided that day (Oct 29th) that we would play dress up and send Daddy a text message of our fun times. So we put the bow on and started our photo shoot. Now she didn't look like Aunt Jemima during our shoot, but once the pics were sent to the press it was all too clear that Ms Jemima was in a run for her money:) Also, Molly our "Cheeweenie" is ALWAYS where Addyson is, so of course she had to be in the shots and I have to say that she does seem like she is a little jealous that she doesn't have a diva bow like her little sister. HeeHee.

My best friend Avery

Ok here is my (Hollie) first attempt at the blogging world. I have to say that I am a little intimidated but I am going to figure this all out. This was a day several weeks ago when my friend Christine came over with her little girl Avery. Avery is 18 months old and loved little Addyson. She saw how much fun Addyson was having on her floor mat and decided to jump right in and play. We love our new friend and her mommy tons and can't wait until we get our shots so that we can get together and play some more.
