I'm Sooo Tired!

Our friend Nikki inspired us to get out Addie's new seat, and she really likes it! She was so worn out from the church play that she fell asleep sitting in it, and we even heard her snoring! She is like her dad in every way!!

Proud Parents of Baby Jesus

This was Addie's big acting debut, and we were so excited to be able to do it. What an honor for Addie to get to play baby Jesus!

Addie's First Trip to See Santa

Addie on her way to see Santa.....

We were a little nervous that she would wake up and be scared when she saw the big bearded man so we woke her up right before she sat on his lap. She is still a little sleepy in the picture.

Addie's 3 month pictures

I can't believe our little girl is already 3 months old! We went to get her 3 month pictures taken on Thursday and did not have a good experience. Addie did great, but we were very disappointed in the photographer and the service. So, her wonderful father came back home with us afterwards and we took our own pictures. I think these turned out better than the ones the "professional" photographer took.

Addie's First Lunch Date

Last week Addie and I went to visit Kristy and her new baby, Christopher. They had their first lunch date. Neither of them was really interested in having their picture taken that day. Oh well....that's just how it is sometimes.

Some Fun Christmas Pictures

Here is another wonderful slideshow that our friend Adrienne made for us. We are really looking forward to Christmas this year!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!! Addie and Dad celebrated his birthday watching football and spending time with Grammy, Babaw, Aunt Lee Ann, and Mom.
Addie looks so cute in her Christmas dress from Grammy and Babaw.
Addie and Aunt Lee Ann- Addie loves her new blanket Aunt Lee Ann made for her. It is beautiful, and we know lots of hours of love went into making it!
Addie was not a happy camper in this picture! She never lets me forget when it is time to eat! A child after my own heart!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent the night at Uncle Nick's house the night before Addie's first Thanksgiving. That was her first night away from home! This is the first Akins family photo since Addie's arrival.
Isn't Aunt Carolyn's Christmas tree pretty!
Snoozin' in Grandad's arms...how comfy!
Addie and Dad make a great picture!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We started at Uncle Nick's with a delicious meal. Addie got to meet Aunt Carolyn's mom for the first time. After a relaxing afternoon in Nashville, we headed to Grammy and Babaw's house. That was Addie's first trip to their house. We had another delicious meal there, and we enjoyed getting to spend time with Aunt Lee Ann, Grammy, and Babaw! Addie had a great first Thanksgiving with lots of love. I know one thing- We give God all the glory and thanks for her!!!

Our Little Boxer

We took this after her bath last Sunday. Everyone tells us she looks like a boxer in this picture. I think it's the mittens!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We took Addie to our church for Trunk or Treat. Although she slept for most of it, she had a great time! Grammy loved her costume! Addie got to meet Sailor Presley for the first time that night. Nikki and Joe were in birthing class with us. We were really excited for Addie to get to meet Sailor! I know they will really enjoy being in church together.

After Trunk or Treat, we took Addie to our neighbor's house for a quick visit. She had a big time on her first Halloween!

Better Late Than Never

I know....I am terrible at updating our blog. I am so sorry! Better late, than never. Well, Addie is now 2 months old. I can't believe it! We went to the doctor last week, and she had her first round of shots. It was so upsetting! The nurse looked at me and said, "Remember Mom, anxiety is contagious." I couldn't help getting upset because Addie looked so sad when she was crying. Anyway, we all survived, and she got a great report from the doctor. She weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces and is 23 inches long. She is a big girl! I guess that is what happens when you are on an all you can eat diet. The top 3 pictures are some recent ones we took while Mimi and Grandad were visiting a couple of weeks ago. I thought they turned out really well. The 2 at the bottom are just some of my recent favorites of Addie.

Addie's Slideshow

This is a link to a slideshow of Addie that our friend Adrienne created. It has wonderful pictures on it! I am so glad that she made it for us! I can't believe how much Addie has already grown. She weighed 8lb. 4oz. at her doctor's appt. last week. Her pediatrician was very happy!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the slideshow. Rod and I feel so blessed that God has given us this precious child. We love her so much! I especially love kissing those beautiful feet!

Addie's Walk Around the Neighborhood

Here are some of Addie's recent pictures. Mimi and I took her for a walk around the neighborhood and made some pictures by the fountain.

Addie with her Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Nick

I am finally getting around to adding some pictures to Addie's website. As you all know, Rod is the one that is good with technology in our family. This is a big step for me! Addie was so happy that her aunt and uncle came from Nashville to see her.
