If Only She Could Stay Little...

I can't believe that my baby is almost one! Here's a look back at the last six months of Addyson's life:


6 months old


With Grandma Tami-6 months


With Dad around Father's Day-7 months



At Aunt Emily's Wedding-7 months




7 months-Addyson started crawling



8 months



9 months

9 months-Ready to go the pool!


9 months



9 months-at the Western Idaho Fair


10 months-Enjoying blackberries at Grandma Tami's house
I have 6 teeth!

10 months-Addy LOVES to swing.


11 months
Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that she came home from the hospital. Of course it is exciting as she learns new things and gets bigger, but it makes my heart hurt to think that she won't ever need me as much again as she did this first year. Being a mother is such a blessing. Nothing has brought me more joy in life than this sweet little girl has. My favorite thing in the world is when we sit in the recliner before bedtime and I sing her Primary songs. She lays her head down on my shoulder and makes contented noises while I sing. That is my definition of bliss.

Let me be the first to say WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!! I told your mom on Thursday night that I was furious with you for giving up on your blog. Thank goodness you are back. We missed you!
can I also tell you how much Addison looks like Tami in that 6 month picture? With their faces close to each other like that you can totally see the resemblence!
Great job on the Halloween Party, ours is this weekend so hopefully it turns out as good as yours!

I am so glad that you found us. Matt has been commenting for the last few weeks that he needs to call Brandon. I am excited to be able to keep in touch this way!

That was sweet. Babies growing up is so bittersweet.

Welcome back to the blogging world by the way:)

Addyson is so sweet looking and just keeps getting cuter. It does seem like you just had her!!

You look great like always Nikole!

SO sweet that you sing to Addyson! I hope my children love that as well...(even though my voice is horrible).
