Summertime

It's been quite a busy summer thus far for the three and a half of us. Addie got to celebrate her first birthday a couple of times, once with the Montgomery clan in Escondido and then again with the Timmons family out in Liberty. She also took her first trip to the swimming pool...and has loved every minute in the water. The girl has no fear...she would dive in head first if we let her. She even got to explore a couple of kiddie water areas in Kansas City, which only furthered her curiosity for all things aqua-related. We should have known after watching her splash around in the bath tub. She has also learned to make the sounds for monkeys and elephants and can pick out Ernie, Elmo and various Veggie Tales friends when requested. For more pictures, Daddy will be putting more photos up on his facebook page. It's free...sign up if you haven't already.


Walking with Mema and Grandad at the KC airport before flying home.


A rare still moment at the water park.


If I was any older, I would think this water was freezing. But I'm one...who cares how cold it is?!


Very happy with her time in the kiddie wave pool.


The patriotic swimsuit...Happy 4th everyone.


Addie's 4th of July outfit...Mommy couldn't wait to pull out this ensemble.


Chillin' with my pal Alek.


Mema is so funny.


My first swim with Mommy...we had so much fun.


More splishing and splashing in the bath tub.


Not so sure about the texture of frosting and cake in her hands...but it sure tasted good.


The birthday girl.


Addie's first birthday cake...complete with her favorite, Elmo.
