Project 365

I've decided since I'm going to try and blog everyday I might as well participate in Project 365, which is taking a picture everyday for 365 days, one year. I mainly plan on taking pictures of Addy, because what a great day to document her daily cuteness and growth. I probably won't post a picture everyday, but will post the weeks pictures every Sunday. Here are Day 1-3. January 01-03.

Videos Of Addy

The first video was while we were visiting my parents in November. Addy adores her Uncle Andrew and thinks he is just the funniest person ever, funnier than mom even. He had her in hysterics after Thanksgiving dinner.


And this video is of Addy clapping. She's OBSESSED with clapping since she figured out how to do it. She claps at everything; after each bite of food, after a song on the radio, after Kahlua jumps off the couch...everything. It's really cute and really funny!



Such a fun girl!

Well Hello There 2010!

Happy New Year! Have you made any resolutions for this year? I'm not a resolution kind of person. I think I made a resolution 2 years ago to stop drinking soda, or something equally lame. It lasted all of a month. I don't usually feel the need to make resolutions with the turning of the new year, I think if you want to better yourself/change something in your life, you just do it, you don't wait for the first of the year, I think it only set you up for disappointment. Except now that I have a child, I find the constant desire to better myself and rid myself of bad habits to make myself happier and in turn her happier. I have many resolutions this year, and I mean MANY. I was lying awake in bed last night, just trying to make a mental list of all the things I want to do this year. I won't tell you all of them, but just a few that I think will be the most challenging to keep.

-Blog everyday. EVERYDAY. My reason for doing this is to keep a better scrapbook of Addy's life. I've been horrible at keeping up Addy's baby book, and I think at the end of the year I would like to have all the entries bound and printed as a Christmas gift for her.

-Become more crafty. I would like to make our Advent calender this year, along with countless other projects I have in my head. I have such a desire to do wonderful things, but feel the crafty part of me is just in my head and doesn't translate to my hands or abilities. I fear things won't turn out the way I want them to and therefore that keeps me from trying.

-Try a new recipe or food once a week. I follow the blog of a wonderful family, The Scottish Twins, and she tries a new food every week. What a great way to experiment and open our minds to new things. Since I'm not much of a cook, I've decided on a new food or new recipe, hoping to challenge myself even if I don't get the chance to get a hold of a new food.

Those are just some of the things that are on my list for the year. I really hope I can keep up with these and the many other goals I have set for myself.

And because it's been so long since I've blogged, I'll share a picture or 2 of Miss A!

And a picture of my parents and brother with Addy. They came down to spend Christmas with us. Addy just adores them!

I will see you tomorrow, hopefully! =)

thankful

for this ray of sunshine. and i'm pretty sure she's thankful for me. ;P

Going Back In Time

Okay, NOT really, but I'm going to post Addy's 6 month pictures. While on my way to my parents house in Maryland, I stopped in South Carolina, to visit my dear friend Sariah and her wonderful husband and gorgeous boys. Sariah is one half of SSquared Photo, and is truly an amazingly talented photographer! If you live in or are passing through the Charleston area, book a session, you won't regret it!

I think I might try and convince Sariah to come down to Georgia and take Addy's one year pictures! I can't wait till Jeff gets home and sees these amazing pictures!!
