Adrienne Turns One

Friday, March 3rd, 2017


Two weeks ago we celebrated Adrienne's first birthday! We can't believe that it has already been a year and even though she still seems like our little baby, when we compare her to pictures from a year ago we realize how fast she is growing up!

One Year Ago
Adrienne's 1st Birthday

We also created a video with the "1second" app that takes a one second from a bunch of videos of Adrienne's first year. You can really see how much and how fast she has changed.



We celebrated Adrienne's birthday up in Cadillac with family. Adrienne has been loving playing with all of her new toys and reading her new books. She wasn't so sure what to do with the cake and kind of zoned out while eating it. She was much more enthusiastic about the lasagna! Lots of pictures from her special day...

Love that smile!




She wasn't a huge fan of the hat.

Lasagna, yum!

So many generous gifts!

The clown decoration was from Daddy's 1st birthday!

Now onto the regular photo/video updates from Adrienne's 11th month. I think we are done with the monthly updates so this one is going to have a lot!  I went a little video crazy this month:) Enjoy!

Adrienne learned to walk this month. It was unbelievable how fast she went from walking while holding our hands to practically running!


One of the first times we caught steps on video.



Walking like a pro!


Adrienne still loves bath time.

First dentist appointment


Sweet little laugh

Favorite foods are chicken and yogurt (not at the same time:)

Working on giving up the bottle (not quite there yet). She loves her straw sippy cups.


She loves "cleaning" out her drawers.

Waiting in the lobby for her 1-year check up appointment with Dr. DeLeon.

Walking herself to her appointment


Adrienne usually takes only one nap a day. She has been a much better night sleeper. She still gets up once most nights but that is much better than the 2-3 times a night like she did throughout her first 11 months!

She love drawers.

Adrienne's First Valentine's Day

Adrienne's duplo collection is growing thanks to birthday presents from family!


Still too cold to go for many walks, but we try!

Bruce usually is the first to wake up with her. They are still good buddies.


Sometimes they get a little too close...




She cuddles all the time with her polar bear.


We love watching her discover things. She decided it would be fun to put her toys in her crib.


Adrienne has started doing something we call the "cheese" smile.


Pure joy


She is obsessed with this baby doll. She walks around with it all the time saying "baby". (I have no idea how to get this video flipped around...sorry)



Playing on the air bed


Who doesn't love Girl Scout cookies?


She is starting to play independently for short periods of time. I love watching her discover things.


Very interested in music


Adrienne has discovered "dizzy".


She "helps" pick up her room at night.


She is a fan of the head massager.


She enjoys exploring new places.
