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...

It looks like this fish was looking into the camera! Addison loved this big turtle: We enjoyed our Mommy and Me adventure, but we sure missed Daddy!

Addison loved the beach!  This was her first time seeing the ocean.  She had fun playing with her DaDa... She played so hard and got sooo sleepy... As a matter of fact, she slept far more when we were at the beach than she normally does!  Here are a few pictures of her asleep in the stroller after our morning jogs... Addison also had fun playing in the pool with her cousins!  My mom always has the week of the 4th off.  Her and my sisters, Mindy and Michelle, and Mindy's mother-in-law, Mrs. Shirley rented...
