Here are finally some pictures from Addison's first birthday! They aren't in any order but obviously you can tell that first we made the cupcakes, then Addison sucked on the spatula, and then we ate them. :)

Mom and Dad came out for Addison's birthday and we started by opening the presents. Then, mom and I went out to the mall to do a little shopping. We met the guys a little later to get some dinner out. Mom and Dad left after that since it was pretty late and they still had to drive for an hour and a half. We went home and sang to Addison and watched her make a huge mess with a cupcake. I let Alex put the icing on his and decorate it. He thought that was extra special. Also, Nathan's mom sent a little something for Alex from Nathan's uncle. It was good thinking to include Alex so he wouldn't get jealous with Addison opening all of her presents!

The first picture is a few days later with Addison in the outfit from mom and dad and holding the baby doll they gave her. I tried to post the video of Addison devouring the cupcake but it wouldn't work for some reason :( Too bad!

Oh, also, Nathan's mom sent Addison the little purple bear blanket. We switched that out for Addison's burp cloths and she loves the thing. We call it her blanky bear and she carries it around everywhere. We came up with the goofy name because little Emily that I watch has a sleepy square that is a pretty similar idea.
