Beach Bums!!

Our family beach trip was the first week in October and we had a blast!! It was Addie's second time to the beach, but the first was when she was 6 weeks old so she was too little to do anything!! This time she was all over the place!! She loved the sand and the ocean. I think she might just be a surfer when she gets older!! These are just a few pictures, but I will post more later.

Addie's first trip to the ER....and hopefully the LAST!!

3:00 pm on a Monday and Addie and I are taking a shower and she flips her bath seat and hits her head on a tile ledge in the shower. My initial reaction is she will be ok. When I flip her over and see all the blood, I go into panic Mom mode. I won't go into further details other than Huntersville Presbyterian was wonderful!! She had a fantastic doctor and nurse that took great care of her and Mom and Dad too!! It was as I am sure most people with kids would agree....more traumatic for the parents than for her!! The cut was to the bone so she ended up with six stitches. She was such a trooper, as you can see from the pic just after getting home. We are now working on the scar treatment, but I must say it looks fantastic compared to what I feared!! (I am only posting the PG pic)

Look how she's grown!!

Just doing a little reminiscing!! 1 day old versus 1 year old!! Look how much our little Addie has grown and changed in just one year!! You never know how fast time flies by until you have a child!! I guess time flies when you're having fun....and she is that!!

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl!!!

I know it's been a while, but hopefully I can catch up on some of the Flora happenings recently!!

Addie turned 1, and that same weekend she started walking!! She had a great birthday party with her friends at school and then another one on the River with family and friends. She loved her healthy fruit cake, and all the balloons!! It has been an amazing year watching her grow into her personality and watch her learn new things every day!! As parents, Daniel and I feel so blessed to have such a little angel in our sweet Addie!!

Mommy's Angel!!

Addie was just so adorable so we had to capture her sweetness with our roses. Not to mention I had to try out my new skills from photography class....blurring the background!!
