Happy half birthday to meeeee. Happy half birthday to Addie! We had a fuuuun happy half birthday. I was only allowed to play in my cake, not eat it yet. But I had sooo much fun.

Good Morning Baltimore!!






My family took a loooong trip to Baltimore when I was only 5 months old. I got lots of firsts during this time - first time at college to stay in a dorm, first time on a subway, first time to Washington D.C., first time to the national aquarium, first time to pro baseball game, first time to the zoo...We all had a great time, but were ready to come home.

Five Months Old and Family Beach Trip!






I am now five months old and took my first family beach trip! We went to Seabrook Island with lots of family. I absolutely LOVED the ocean (salty!!!) and the swimming pool. I loved kicking and kicking in my floaty. I was such a sweet girl and did so good on our trip.

Four Months Old and Jacksonville!!!



I am Four Months Old!!!! I have developed the best personality! So much fun for everyone around! This is also my big trip to Jacksonville. 8 loooong hours in the car, but I did so well. My first wedding - I was worn out! I also got to get in the ocean for the first time. :)

This was my first bath at home. I absolutely loved it. Since then, I have done a lot of kicking and splashing during bathtime. Fun stuff!

The day we came home!



Although it was a little scary, Mommy and Daddy were super excited about bringing Addison home. She wore the same dress Erin wore home from the hospital when she was born. Daddy drove extra careful all the way home. Addison loved riding in the car. We were all excited that we are finally home! Especially Dixie :) !!!

There Was a Bun in the Oven



We found out we were going to have a baby while we were at the beach with our family. We were so excited, but we decided we wanted to keep it a secret until we could tell everyone! It was so hard to not tell, but we knew it wouldn't be long. Erin's belly grew and grew so fast. Every new week brought something new - we could hear the heartbeat, we could feel a kick, we found out she was a girl, we could see her turning... We decided to do her nursery in pink and green. We worked so hard getting it just perfect! Everything was ready. And then...
