11 Months

So I know I kind of dropped the ball on this post!  But better late than never in my books!  Addy is officially 11 months old.  Deep down I was hoping she would walk the earliest, but looks like she will be the last one to do it.  She can sure motor on her hands and knees and I think that is why she has decided not to stand up and go.  That is good in a way and not so good in others, but until then I hope my arms hold out from having to hold her all of the time.  I also was sad to find that her first word was officially Dada, I came to know this when she stood up in the bath, yelled Dada and waved when she heard the garage door open!  She is also a very good helper!  She loves the dishwasher and this is what she does every time it is left open!

Love this girl! I can't believe she will be 1 in less than 2 weeks!

Still Waiting.....

for Summer that is! I know that the first day of Fall has come and gone, but around these parts we are still waiting for Summer. Even though the weather didn't cooperate for us we still tried to make the most of it. School is back in full swing. Even Emmy has joined in the fun twice a week. I know I already posted a first day of school picture, but this is her actual first day of school.

I also braved another party for Hadley! I feel kind of bad that she is the only one of my children with a summer Birthday, so every other year she gets to have a friend party. I have learned from previous experience not to invite a ton of guests, so this year I limited it to 5 friends. I think she had a good time and hope they all did too! Here are the cupcakes I made for her cake!

Hadley was also chosen to participate in our school district wide Terry Fox Marathon that was done to celebrate it's 30th Anniversary. She ran 1.5 km with the banner and 3 other kids from her school. They met in the gym and did a hand off and another 4 kids from the school carried it to the next group who were waiting 1.5km away. My pictures are not very good due to the awful lighting in the gym. But here is my best one.

I guess that is it for now! Another week and there will be a lot more to tell about, but until then you will have to wait!
