Pigtails

Adeline and I were in Wal-Mart yesterday and I saw some very small "ouchless" rubberbands. Since Adeline's hair is getting a little out-of-control, I thought I might give pigtails a try. I wish all of you could have seen Lawton's face when I took her outside with her new hairdo! Needless to say, he thought it was precious. Adeline seems to look a little more like a girl and a little less like a baby every day. As you can see from the pictures, Adeline got into the tomato bushes while we were outside-she loves the cherry tomatoes!

The Birthday Girl

Wow! It is hard to believe that Adeline is 1! The year has gone so quickly; however, it is hard to remember life without our sweet Adeline. She is truly a gift from God, and our life is so much sweeter with her in it. She amazes us everyday with how quickly she grows, learns and changes. She has started taking steps and seems to add a new word to her vocabulary every week. Adeline takes after her daddy and is very affectionate. She loves people and has no problem going to total strangers. She makes friends everywhere she goes!

We celebrated Adeline's birthday this past weekend with our families. She had a ball and loved being the center of attention! (Sometimes Lawton and I wonder how we ended up with a daughter that does not seem to have a shy bone in her body, loves to be in the spotlight, and has really petite feet!) Adeline got a rocking horse, lots of precious fall clothes, her own chair (with her name on it), a slide, a skirt that sings the Hokey Pokey and several other toys. Here are some pics from the birthday girl's big day...
