Addison Joy: 1 Year Old!

I cannot believe that our little Addie is ONE! A whole year has passed since she entered the world! On 12.2.11 at 6:18pm, 2 1/2 weeks early, Addison Joy made her arrival. She weighed in at 7 lbs 3.4 oz and  was19 inches long.


Ever since that moment, our world changed more than we could have imagined {for the better}. I am dead serious when I say that EVERY day we are in awe at how blessed we are to have someone so precious in our lives! 

Addie is still working hard on growing, and still hasn't mastered it quite yet, but we believe she will get there!…;) 

One year stats: 
Weight: 16 lbs 2 oz (< 1st percentile)
Height: 28 inches (18th percentile)
Head: 16 3/4 inches (1st percentile)


Addie was born one day after my birthday, so this year we got to experience two days in a row of celebrating! My birthday was a great combo of fun activities, but her's was even better :)


A couple months ago we were trying hard to pick a theme for her party, and eventually decided to do a monkey theme! We finally arrived there after the following conclusions:

A. We wanted to do something that really represented who she was- at one, she is not really into any movies, shows, or characters
B. She always wants to be upside down, climbing, flipping around and is all around silly!
C. It's cute!
D. She loves animals

Decision made!
Here are a couple photos of her 1st birthday party:
















We feel so lucky to have amazing friends and family in our lives and in hers as well! It was so fun to  celebrate with them all! Bring on the next year full of great memories and growing into the incredible individual God created Addie to be!
