11 MONTHS OLD...ALREADY????

So I am a little bit behind, but this is Addison at 11 months old. It is so hard to believe that in only a few short weeks she will be one!!! The following pictures are from the weekend of August 9th. Addison got to see all of her Grandparents...I have pictures from each house except for Grandpa Jeff's (surprise, surprise) we never seem to have the camera's out and ready there!! Even though we should have been snapping away watching Addison and her cousin Reece play with each other!!

Addison hasn't been a real big fan of standing for the last 11 months, but a couple weeks ago she finally started to figure it out. Of course we had to prop her up on the couch, but it seemed to work!!! This is Addison standing for the very first time...(you should ignore Mya....who is 5 months old in the background standing as well!!) This was taken at Grandpa and Grandma Primus' house in Marshalltown.
toys are stored in it! Grandma has a very similar picture of Kristin in this very basket a good 27 years ago. This is Addison at Grandpa and Grandma Thayer's house. This is the "shopping basket" that my Mom used to take all of our toys to the Grandparent's houses in. Now all of Addison's ago!!!
This is Addison standing again....don't I look like I am having fun!?!?! She would rather be playing and chewing on the remote on the couch!!
This is at the Primus household as well...It is a classic, isn't it??? This is Addison, Annika, Zane, and Mya. All cousins who look nothing alike!!! (can we say blonde hair and blue eyes must be a very strong gene in the Primus family!!)
This is Addison again at the Thayer's...Grandma really likes to go shopping and to garage sales for all sorts of fun toys for Addison. I think she has more toys there than at her own house!
This is probably the last post for a couple of weeks...then it will be FUN BIRTHDAY PICTURES!!! We have been extremely busy at our household trying to put our house back together post hail and flood! We have all the drywall up in the basement so this weekends fun Labor Day project will be learning how to tape and mud it!! Thank goodness for Jim and Zach, our handymen!!!
