tHe ZoO

10.16.09
We took Addie to Hogle Zoo for her third time and this was definitely the funnest trip. She loves animals and had so much fun "barking" (she thinks everything is a dog) at all of them. It was fun to let her run around the zoo like such a big girl. The only sad part was the carousel was closed so she didn't get to ride it :( . My parents were up here and came with us, so it made for a really fun day!!

Waiting for lunch
(She ran around and chased the birds all during lunch it was so funny, and almost grabbed a peacocks tail, but luckily I got there in time!)

The Infamous Lion Fountain (She loved it)

Watching the Monkeys

Watching the Penguins

Look how tall my little cutie is!! She is no longer an Infant!!

Riding the Train (She was a bit tired but seemed to enjoy it)

What a fun day! If you haven't been to the Zoo lately to see the new baby elephant you should go! We sat and watched it forever it was hilarious!!! Addie also learned what an elephant says and when you ask her she holds her arm up like a trunk it's pretty cute! Of course I forgot to get pictures though :(

The Party!

{THE FOOD}

{THE COMPANY}

{THE PRESENTS}

{THE CAKE}

We had a party for Addie a few weeks before her actual birthday while we were down in St. George. We then ended up being there on her real birthday as well, so we had a small celebration that day too!! She was a bit spoiled having two parties, but we wouldn't have it any other way!!!!

Captured by Mikki

I was so excited to have Mikki take some family pictures and one year pictures for us! She does such an amazing job and as you can tell I loved all of them! I have known Mikki since High School so it was fun to catch up and get to know Braden as well! They made taking pictures with Addie so easy and I can't wait for them to do more pictures for us in the future! If you like what you see you can find her website here. Thanks again you guys, now I just have to decide which ones to print???

Addison's 1 Year Pictures

Of course I had to get Addie a Birthday Tutu!!

I just love her face in this picture!

11 Months

Once again I cannot believe how fast 11 months old came and went! You just get funner and funner everyday and before I know it weeks have passed! You spent a lot of time in your little pool this month, working on that little tan of yours! You just love being outside and have so much fun with all your toys in the pool. You started getting brave and sticking you face in the water and then would pick your head up and start laughing! You also thought it was pretty hilarious to roll in and out of your pool, until the prickly grass was all over you!
You have gotten so good at standing up on your own and have also experimented with taking a couple steps here and there, but I think crawling is still your favorite seeing as that you can crawl like a little maniac! Your hair has actually started growing like a little weed and it could not be any cuter! It is still as blonde as ever and has got some major curl to it! You are such a little girly girl, you sit so still when I am doing your hair, but once I am done there is no catching you the rest of the day!
You amazes us everyday with how much you understand us now and all the new words that come out of that mouth! I wish I could remember them all, but you have quite the vocabulary! You also have the most teeth I have ever seen in a 11 month old! You are up to 10 right now with 4 molars almost all the way in! We just can't believe you are almost a big 1 year old and look forward to see what you surprise us with in month 12!
Love you Sissy,
Mom
