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.
