Party #2

We partied with the Davy's today. Good fun.

Party #1

2010-05-08T13:30:00.002-05:00

Addison Ann is two years old today! We kick-started the partyin' a week early on a Taylor family weekend at Mahoney State Park. We had a great time...until she woke up an hour after she went to bed with a sugar high from birthday cake that kept her up until 3 a.m.

Papa's a sucker for Pink Chucks

2010-04-28T16:35:00.004-05:00

I couldn't help but spring for the the pink Chucks and fun summer dress when I saw them. I'm a sucker. When she opened the box this morning, she said, "Thaaanks," in the cutest little voice. The best $20 I could spend.

Sisters

2010-02-09T17:56:00.000-06:00

Addison now has a little sister in the world. Nora Beth Marie Davy was born 2/9/10 weighing in at 8lbs 3oz and 20.5 inches long. All are doing well. We'll probably need to rename this blog...I don't do a great job on posting pics and videos here, let alone managing another for little N.B.M. Davy.

Reading chair

2009-09-14T08:29:00.007-05:00

We got back from a quick trip to the East coast and picked up a little chair for Addison to read in. Little girl LOVES it. It takes a pretty strong incentive to get her out.

Look what I can do now!

2009-06-28T22:18:00.006-05:00

Here are a few short videos that show the little doll's personality, mental acuity and physical agility.

Personality: Kid loves cheese. Like, would eat pounds of it a day if given the choice. The kid is just so funny.

Physical Abilities: Oh, so close to walking.

Mental Acuity: She's quite adept at drumming already.

and she reads us books, too!

Addie-isms

2009-04-12T19:12:00.000-05:00

Some of her noises and mannerisms that make me chuckle.

Easter with Addie

2009-04-12T18:30:00.001-05:00

The first five photos aren't Easter, but she's sporting a new outfit and her two new teeth bringing the total to six. The rest are in her new Easter dress. The last photo, she leaning in for a kiss. This is her newly acquired skill this week. You say kiss, and she leans in for a smooch of the open mouth variety-though she is getting better at giving a lips together kiss.

The Game

2009-04-07T11:32:00.000-05:00

A fun game with a dubious ending.

Video corrected

2009-04-01T16:01:00.000-05:00

I accidentally posted the wrong video earlier. I edited it and put the new one up. Sorry. ben

A new found freedom

2009-04-01T08:42:00.000-05:00

We'll officially induct Addison into the League of Crawlers. Look out now.

Crawling?

2009-03-25T08:52:00.000-05:00

I know the method borders on cruel. Addison, forgive us.

Musical prodigy?

A few randoms

She's increasingly mobile...for some reason, more so on the couch than on the floor. She only really crawls over us on the couch, but won't when she's on the floor. Notice she's headed for the vino. We'll have to keep an eye on this one!Here's a couple photos of her getting a bath from Grandma Davy in the sink on a recent visit to Norfolk.

She also had some fun with Baxter. She would put out her had for him to lick and then pull it away laughing.

She standeth

2009-03-09T20:33:00.000-05:00

She's 9 months old!

2009-02-18T22:04:00.000-06:00

Here are some of the 9 month photos our good friend Renee Welstead took with Crystal and Addison a week and a half ago on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Tito Jesse makes me laugh!

2009-01-18T21:25:00.000-06:00

Here, her uncle was really making her laugh at Christmas-sorry it's so dark, but the laugh is great:

Child DOES NOT like chicken!!

2009-01-18T16:12:00.000-06:00

She . . . "clucks" . . .

2008-12-20T17:48:00.000-06:00

I'm a genius

2008-12-18T16:07:00.000-06:00

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!!

Cousins

2008-11-24T13:52:00.000-06:00

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.

She's getting really good at her tripod.

Most of the time. . . .

And she is giggling!

Baptism

2008-11-05T10:29:00.000-06:00

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

2008-10-15T13:03:00.000-05:00

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

2008-10-06T09:41:00.000-05:00

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.

She loves to be outside

2008-09-30T12:39:00.000-05:00

This is from earlier this summer, but riding in the bike carrier is just one of the ways that Addison likes to enjoy the outdoors.

2008-09-21T22:01:00.000-05:00

My friend Carissa took these pictures last week. I love how Addison's personality is developing. And I LOVE the back-lit hair fuzz. . . LOVE IT.

New experiences

2008-09-17T12:04:00.000-05:00

A face covered in rice cereal. What could be better?

She doesn't yet quite get the point of the johnny jump up, but enjoys dangling mid-air. Just a way to spin a round a bit so far.

i think she's got this cereal thing down

2008-09-15T11:58:00.000-05:00

Addison just found her tongue. . .

2008-09-11T18:10:00.000-05:00

Sorry its sideways. . . oops.

New Find

2008-09-10T10:30:00.000-05:00

Addison has begun to find the use of her hands. Soon nothing will be safe from her grasp...soon. Not yet.

Here we begin

2008-09-10T09:32:00.000-05:00

Welcome!

Here's a blog dedicated to the little life of Addison Ann Davy, now 4 months old to this ex-utero world. It exists only to pacify the visual needs of family members that cannot drive 10 minutes to get their Addie-fix. We hope you enjoy!

A few selections to kick things off.
