We have a Crawler!!!!

OK OK OK...I know I have been a super slacker but in my defense we have had a LOT going on! Between Halloween and Clare's wedding (my sister and Dan got married 11-11-11) and Thanksgiving life has been pretty crazy! Halloween was fabulous. We went to a handful of local fall festivals and pumpkin patches. It was great to get us in the holiday spirit. Addison was a pink mermaid...that was decided after changing from a witch, green fairy, ghost, skeleton to pink mermaid. Ansley was an adorable little pumpkin. We went trick or treating with friends in a great family friendly neighborhood.
Fall in Jacksonville means Duval County Fair. We live the priviledged fair life (if that's possible) due to Guy being Chairman of the fair. We get great parking, free entrance, free rides, free food, and best of all: clean private bathrooms! Addison LOVED the fair this year. She rode any and every ride they would let her on. My personal favorite with her was the bumpy slide. She refers to the Ferris Wheel as the Ferris Round and she ate enough junk my teeth hurt watching her. It was a positive fair experience that's for sure! We headed to Vero Monday before the wedding to help Titi with last minute things. Addison took her flower girl responsibities very seriously for a 2 year old. She did awesome! We were definitely the proud parents. She dropped those petals with precision and perfection and when she was announced at the reception she walked onto the dance floor and twirled like it was no one's business! She danced the night away and even said her own speech to Titi & Uncle Dan. My sister, of course, was beautiful and the wedding ceremony/reception was a blast! Grandaddy has a slew of banana trees and Addison has been keeping a close eye on them as they grow. Well she finally got to cut a bushel of them this trip!
My sweet little bundle of love decided she was no longer happy sitting around, she needed in on the action and just started crawling while were in Vero. CRAZY! Not even 7 months old and she was movin and groovin on those little knees! Guess it is time to make sure there are no choking hazards in her path and the cabinets are locked! Oh AND she has TWO teeth!
