Nate lit the candles and he said, "Wait until I get the video camera before you start singing." Apparently Addilee did not hear him because she started to sing happy birthday to her self loud and excitedly. She has talked about everyone singing happy birthday and then blowing out her candles ever since Nate's birthday, so she was not going to wait for some silly video camera.

Addilee loved her cake and with it she got a real Lightning McQueen car that has a pull back and go feature. She didn't like the cake as much as she liked the icing especially the black icing. She wanted to eat it with her fingers, being the good parents we are we let her do it because it was her birthday. Not only did she turn black and was stained on her fingers and lips, but the next day when she took care of business her poop was a dark turquoise color. Nate and I almost wondered what marker she had been playing with and how it got on her bum? (note to self if icing is that dark it probably isn't good for your system. Oh well, she loved it and is probably back to normal.

Need I say more.

Mom and Addilee

We had a wonderful time and she had a happy birthday even though she says,"Can I have a birthday party again, tomorrow?"

Crawling Baby

Joriann is an official crawler. She is 9 months and enjoying her new found freedom. She hasn't gotten too far and is not into things yet, so I am excited for her new found freedom.

Joriann Lou

The Singer

Joriann is such a fun girl. We sometimes call her baby condor because when she doesn't like the way things are going she sounds just like a loud condor. We of course mean it in the best loving way possible. She is also our singer she loves to sing along and dance to any music being played.
