July 4, 2007--Addie's First Fourth

For Addison's first Fourth of July, we went over to Uncle Kenny's house for some hamburgers, hot dogs and homemade ice cream. Aaron experimented and devised cake batter flavored ice cream, which was a huge hit!

Stirring in the cake batter goodness after the ice cream is mostly frozen.

Addie doing her part by playing with the serving spoons.

After GrandMary arrived to babysit the next few days, we all went down to the Arch grounds to watch the fireworks. Addison thought they were interesting and wasn't scared of the sound a bit, but she did get bored about the first ten minutes or so.

July 3, 2007--More bathtime fun

Addison still loves bathtime. She comes running whenever she hears the water. She can hardly wait to get in the water! She also enjoys kicking her legs and soaking Daddy with splashes while he tries to wash her!And she loves chewing on her foam letters!

July 2, 2007--Visiting friends

Lissa, Leigh Anne and Colin were in St. Louis visiting their day before the Fourth of July, and Addison and I got to go over and hang out for a night of fun! Addie LOVES playing with big kids!

June 29-30, 2007--Weekend in KC

While Aaron was in Memphis, Addie and Mama visited KC. While we were there, we had Addison's 9 month pictures taken. Here she is modeling one of her outfits from the photo shoot:

Uncle Daniel and Kristen fed Addison after dinner on Saturday night. She just gobbled it up!

June 26, 2007--Swimming

After several months of warm weather, we finally took Addison swimming in Aunt Phyllis's pool. She really liked it and seemed to enjoy just floating in the water!
