Addison Anne eating her first birthday cake.
It took a while and some serious coaxing to get her started, but after one taste of the cake, she laid both arms down in the frosting in order to hold the cake still and leaned her head into it an took several big bites out of the side. Kids at this age are so much fun to watch.
She was given a baby doll by Mary and the boys. It was almost as big as Addie, but she fell in love at first sight. Apparently, Mary couldn't get it out of the box fast enought and Addison let out a scream of dismay...something this easy-going child never does. Everyone has fallen completely in love with this baby. She has charmed the entire wrinkled and saggy community of Grandma's community. They all thinks she's the cutest thing and they all perk up when she comes into the dinning room for dinner. She has managed to pick out the loneliest and grumpiest of the residents and makes sure she waves and smiles at them. Grandma says the impact of a single wave and grin is magical. We'll have to make sure Addison knows how many people she has charmed and whose lives she has brighten all with her little girls smile!
