Bee-utiful!!!

Addie Kate was a bubble bee this year for Halloween!  She was not crazy about 

her antennas, but did really well keeping everything else on.  We took her to a fall festival and to a few houses to trick or treat.  Her favorite thing of the night, however,  was hearing the door bell ring and seeing the little kids dressed up in their costumes.  She just loves people!  She is getting so big, so fast!! 

Here is my little chick from last year.  It is hard to believe how much she has changed in a year!!  This year has gone by so fast!

Braves game!!

I know it has only been three months since my last post, but better late than never.   My camera and computer were out of commission for a little while, so hopefully now I will start blogging with a little more consistency.   

  Here are a few almost recent pictures of Addie Kate.  We took the youth group to a Braves game about a week before she turned one.  Her daddy insisted that she try a hotdog and coke while we were there.  

my first furniture re-do

I have really been wanting to try my hand at re-doing furniture lately and got the perfect opportunity when I found this piece while on a walk in Daphne.  They were throwing it away.  I made Gabe go knock and the door just to make sure that we could have it and they said to please take it, so we did.  I sanded it down, primed and painted it.  I was even able to use the original knobs, so it ended up being a very cheap project (under $20).  I enjoyed doing it so much that I have since started two more furniture projects.  A hutch that is done except for new knobs (pictures to come) and a kitchen table.  Wish me luck on that one.   

Home Sweet Home....

So we are finally getting settled in our new home and I figured it was time to post some pictures.  The only pictures I have were taken before we moved in.  I will eventually take some pictures with our stuff in!    

Great and great-great grandparents

A few weeks ago we went to visit Gabe's grandparents at "the farm." While we were there we took Addie Kate to see her great-great grandmother.  That is five generations!  How crazy is that?  Here are some pictures of her with her great-grandfathers, great-grandmothers, and her great-great grandmother (all on Gabe's side).  They could sit around and watch her for hours and she loves all the attention!

Stand up to be tall...

This has been a big month of change for Addie Kate, honestly it seems like she is learning something new everyday! 

• She is officially crawling (for a few weeks now) and officially pulling up on everything.  She is quick and it makes me really nervous sometimes.  She has already had a few falls which means bruises. Her poor head!    
  
• She is still waving and blowing kisses at everyone, including strangers.  She does not have a shy bone in her body.  Every morning when I get her out of her bed she is sitting up waving.  She is such a happy baby!    
• She loves to clap.  Anytime we start singing "patty cake" or say "Yea for Addie Kate" she claps and claps.    
  
• He first little tooth has finally come through and she is working on tooth number two. (I was starting to worry that they might never come).  
• Her favorite toys are no longer her toys.  She loves to get into everything, especially if it something she is not supposed to.  My make-up bag seems to be her favorite right now.  She is so fascinated with pulling everything out it.  Oh what fun!

  

 

Summer Lovin'

Okay maybe it's not summer yet but it does feel like it (Thank you Jesus)!!!!  This baby loves this weather and the pool!  She loves her baths so we couldn't wait to get her in the pool.  Tonight her Aunt Livie (Olivia) took her for her first real swim in the big pool.  She loved it and was not scared at all!!  I can't wait to spend the summer in the pool!
