Infant Dedication

Last weekend, Addison had her infant dedication at Covenant United Methodist Church.  We were so happy to be surrounded by so many loved ones!  My mama and daddy (Sue-Sue and Pa-pa), Jane and Gerald (Grandma and Grandpa), Milton (not sure what Addison will call Milton yet), Mindy, Bobby, Michelle, Amy, Hayden, Adam's grandaddy (Boompa), Dr Abdul, Jackie, Kay, Landon, Peyton, Connor, and Luke!  I will always remember this special day and all who came to celebrate it with us!  Here are some pictures of the day...

Waiting for everyone to arrive at the church.  (We were afraid to put that white dress on until the last minute)...



 I LOVE this one because it reminds me of when I was little...I remember my daddy blow-drying my hair...just one of those memories that makes my heart smile :)...
 I still can't believe how red her hair is...

Up on stage...



The white dress didn't last long.  Ha!

The celebration continued at Chili's...



Thanks again to everyone who was able to join us last weekend!  And thanks, Dr Abdul and Jackie for the gifts!  They gave Addison some sweet gifts, including a precious little porcelain baby shoe with a little tag on it that reads Baby Steps with Jesus.  Precious!  And thanks go Jane Jane.  She gave Addison a beautiful cross necklace to match the cross bracelet that she has.  Addison will enjoy this for years to come!

Addison's first babysitters

This past Saturday night, Adam and I headed out for the first time without our little "butter bean".  Everyone keeps asking me if I cried, but I knew she was safe with Grandma Jane-Jane and Grandpa Gerald, so there were no need for tears.  Plus, they were babysitting at our house and I knew I'd see her in just a few hours, so it wasn't so bad.  We went to Adam's 10 year class reunion and had so much fun!  There was a great crowd there, at the City Hotel and Bistro.  It was so good to see everyone!  I graduated just one year ahead of Adam, so I knew a lot of people at the reunion too, even though it was for the c/o 2000.  Here are a couple of snapshots...I am hoping to get more pictures from Lorie's camera to add to my blog, but this is all I have for now... Me & Adam: Me & Sarah: Me & Lorie: .....thanks to Lorie, I have a few more pics to share...

July 26, 2011...Addison's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!  I don't even know what to say.  There are so many things I have thought about writing for this blog, but right now all I can think to say is THANK YOU JESUS for choosing Adam and myself to watch over your precious baby Addison Leigh!  And THANK YOU JESUS for the blessing that she continues to be each and every day to so many people! I just can't believe it has been a whole year since we were at the hospital welcoming our new baby to the world.  And now here she is standing all by herself... She's still not walking on her own, but has been doing the bear walk a lot lately... She wears 12-18 month clothes, size 3-4 diapers, and size 3 shoes.  She started drinking big girl milk (soy milk) a couple of days ago, so no more formula!  She is still a GREAT eater!  And she still will let the whole world know if her belly is hungry!  She still LOVES to dance more than anything in the world!  She added a new word to her "vocabu
