12 mon. pics in the park---LOTS of them!

Chad took pictures of us and Addie for her 1 year pictures in the park. He hasn't edited any of them yet (some are too dark or light--thanks to how bright it was outside--not that I am complaining), but here are a few of our favorites. Let us know your favorites. There are sooo many good ones to choose from! I actually picked about 20 out over 200. Chad took these in about 20 minutes. It's a lot different than she was at 6 months old since she won't hardly look at the camera anymore and she is occupied by so many other things. But still they really capture her personality: happy, social, curious and independent. She doesn't like to crawl in the grass so she actually was contained to the blanket (so rare...I need to think of a way to recreate that at home!). Thanks, Chad! You are so talented for this just being a hobby!

Afterward Jeremy got adventurous and made sushi for the first time at home for me, Chad, Leigh and himself, of course. Not bad for the first time. I give the man credit for trying new things.

P.S. As you can see Addie still has this exploring of her mouth, tongue and teeth thing going on.

P.P.S. "Auntie Amanda"--do you like her outfit?
