She . . . "clucks" . . .

I'm a genius

So today I discovered the wonder of blocks. They're pretty great, if you ask me. Don't know why they've been hiding all this time. I decided to be coy and pretend I couldn't even grab them out of the box.


Then, when Mom wasn't looking I started an unassuming little tower just to see her reaction.


She was pretty impressed. Not gonna lie. So I decided to show off a little.

I'm sitting!!

Some of Addison's Faces

Cousins

Can you tell they are cousins? Hudson is extremely gentle and loving towards his little cousin. This was taken two weeks ago when Jesse and Michel watched Addie for a bit while Crystal and I were at an event. When Jesse told Hudson Addison was coming over, Hudson said, "Won't that be so much fun?!" And he gives her gentle kisses when he said goodbye. I assure you this won't be the last pic or post about the two of them. They're destined for some good times together.

A week of Family

She's getting really good at her tripod.

Most of the time. . . .

And she is giggling!

Baptism

After a two week hiatus, and so much happens in just two weeks! Two weeks ago, on November 19th, Addison was baptized into the covenant community at Grace Chapel. Both our families were able to be there and was a very significant time for us all. Please join with us in praying for the day Addison's faith joins with her baptism.

Sometimes I forget

Addison looks very much like a "baby" right now. She used to look squidgy and wrinkled and floppy. Most days I have a hard time remembering what it was like to hold her little neck for her or anticipate the 15 minutes a day that she seemed truly awake (often that fell between 3 and 5 am . . . ). So this is a reminder of how Addison looked when we first met her.

More pretty pictures

If you would like to see some more pictures of the one and only Addison Ann Davy, click here to link to our dear friend Renee Welstead's website. She came over last week to photograph Addie and posted some of the pictures.

lots of firsts

On this Lord's Day, we had a lot of firsts: first real giggle session which both Mom and Pappa got to witness, first real sludge poop diaper, first trim of her wispy baby hair, 12 hours of sleep with only 1 feeding and tripodding on the couch! That substantive development for an almost 5-month old child! Here's a few photos to catch us up.
