Addison is 1 year old!

Our little baby is 1 year old today!! She's officially a toddler now!
Addison can turn off the light, brush her or Mommy's hair, gesture to turn on the TV or music, and offer her feet for socks and hands for hand sanitizer. She is learning sign language for "all done," "more," and "please." She is getting her 4th tooth. She goes to the door or stairs when we ask if she wants to go outside or upstairs to play. She gives great hugs, and occasionally some wet kisses.

Mommy and Addison slept extra snuggly the night before her birthday. Oh, how I would love to curl up beside her again and go back to sleep, hug, kiss, and read books to her all day, but I have a feeling Addison would rather play on her birthday.
She wakes up with a smile (as she does everyday), hugging Mommy's Raggedy Ann doll.

Dressed in her birthday shirt, she's ready to play!

Her birthday party was the previous Saturday (see later post), so she ate some leftover birthday cake for dessert.
Then she got a birthday bath..... not because she needed it (well, maybe a little bit because of the birthday cake in her hair), but because she loves to play in the tub.
Put together Addison's fluffy hair and winter static cling and you've got a great recipe for some balloon fun.

Addison cackles when we chase her around the kitchen island (especially if we surprise her around the corner).

She likes to pull out the plastic storage containers and try to put on the lids.

After getting ready for bed, Addison found a pair of Aubrey's shoes and indicated that she wanted to put them on (something she's never done before - - usually she wants to chew on them). She walked around for the longest time, fascinated with her clomping shoes.
We are so blessed to have two healthy, happy, entertaining, and beautiful little girls.
