The Gunters

The Zoo!

2012-01-08T18:01:00.000-08:00

Addison went to the zoo for the first time on January 7th. She had so much fun and the weather was great! Her favorite part was the monkeys, and she has been talking about them since.

Happy Halloween!

2011-11-21T11:20:00.001-08:00

Addison dressed up as Dorothy this year for Halloween, and had a great time trick-or-treating! We met up with her cousins for some pizza before hand, and then made the rounds in the neighborhood.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Addison!

2011-10-17T11:43:00.000-07:00

Addison turned 2 on October 7th! We celebrated her birthday with a party at Build-A-Bear this past weekend, and she had so much fun with her family and friends. The only part she did not care for was the group picture :)

McKinney Oktoberfest 2011

2011-09-25T12:15:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again! McKinney Oktoberfest was this past weekend. Scott, Addison, Gwynn and Tiffany were the only ones that could make it this year, so we definitely missed all the others that usually join us! Addison had fun eating her pretzel, watching the German dancers, and petting some animals in the petting zoo.

Greek Festival 2011

2011-09-25T12:10:00.000-07:00

During our circuit of festivals, we went back to the Greek Festival for the first time since Addison was born. This year, Monty & Pop joined us. Addison had a great time eating her pita bread and watching the Greek dancers. Opa!

Balloon Festival 2011

2011-09-25T12:04:00.001-07:00

We decided to check out the Plano Balloon Festival this year for the first time. It started early at 6:45 a.m., and unfortunately the balloons were not able to take off due to the weather. Addison enjoyed looking at all of them, and playing with Brinley, Tyce & Hudson.

Fall Wreath

2011-09-25T11:59:00.000-07:00

I have become addicted to Pinterest lately (like almost everyone I know), and it inspired me to make a new fall wreath for our front door. I bought the wreath from Home Goods, which included everything but the ribbon and letter. My mom helped make the bow and tie the ribbon around, and then I painted a wooden G with brown and gold polka dots.

Italian Car Festival

2011-09-13T13:20:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, we ventured out to the Italian Car Festival in Grapevine. Addison enjoyed looking at all the fancy cars, but not as much as Scott probably did. :) Afterward, we enjoyed lunch at Rainforest Cafe. Addison wasn't too sure about those gorillas that danced every once in a while, but she enjoyed playing with the smoke and rain behind our table.

4th of July

2011-07-15T12:15:00.000-07:00

Addison had a great 4th of July! We kicked off the weekend with a parade and cookout that our neighborhood put on, and then came back to the pool on Monday for swimming, hot dogs and home made ice cream. Addison was excited to have Ben come visit us for the weekend and join in on the festivities.

Pool Time

2011-07-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

Addison has had a blast so far this summer in the pool! The only negative to moving was that we no longer have a pool at our house, but she has enjoyed the two neighborhood pools and most recently, a baby pool in our backyard.

T-Ball Fun

2011-07-15T10:52:00.000-07:00

Addison had fun this year watching Tyce play Tee ball! Below are some pictures of Addison with Hudson & Pop, and Tyce with his trophy.

Catch Up

2011-04-29T18:03:00.000-07:00

Snow Days

2011-02-19T04:55:00.000-08:00

Below are some pictures of Addison all bundled up and having fun in the snow! She cried every time we came back inside.

Basketball

2011-02-07T14:47:00.000-08:00

Scott decided it was time for Addison to have a bigger basketball goal. You can see from the short video below that she loves it!

Christmas 2010

2011-01-08T12:20:00.000-08:00

Addison had a great 2nd Christmas this year! She loved playing with all her new toys from family and Santa. We celebrated for 3 days, with pizza and gifts at Monty & Pop's, Christmas Eve at Aunt Sue & Uncle G's, and then Christmas Day at Monty & Pop's.

Toronto

2011-01-02T12:03:00.001-08:00

In November, we took an extended weekend trip to visit our friends, Fred & Cathy, in Toronto, Canada! We had a great time, and got to see the CN tower, Niagara Falls and spend some time tasting Ice Wine in the Niagara on the Lake area.

Ice! at the Gaylord

2010-12-30T17:36:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to play catch up on all the pictures over the last month. Below and at the link are pictures from Ice! at the Gaylord. Scott's parents were in town visiting for the weekend, so we decided to venture out and see all the Christmas activities at the Gaylord. It was cooooooooold!

Santa 2010

2010-12-17T11:17:00.000-08:00

I've been behind on posting pictures lately, but couldn't resist getting this one up quickly. Below is Addison's picture with Santa. She did so good, and surprised us all by not crying or getting upset at all!

Happy Halloween!

2010-11-03T13:31:00.000-07:00

Addison celebrated her 2nd Halloween with pictures at the Havemans, and then handing out candy to trick-or-treaters at Monty and Pop's. She was not a very happy kitty cat during the pictures.

One Year Pictures

2010-10-17T12:04:00.000-07:00

We decided to have Addison's one year pictures done at the Dallas Arboretum this year. Below are a few of my favorite with a link to all of them:

Head - 18 in. (75th Percentile)

Grapefest and Oktoberfest 2010

2010-09-29T13:52:00.000-07:00

Addison had a great time at her first Grapefest and Oktoberfest this last month! Grapefest was so hot, we tried to stay indoors and walk through shops most of the time. Quite the opposite, it rained up until we got to Oktoberfest, so the crowd was nice and small and it stayed cool outside most of the time.

She couldn't go to Oktoberfest without her dad buying her a chicken hat, in pink, of course!

11 Months Old

2010-09-07T08:27:00.000-07:00

Wow, time is flying by and Addison is 11 months old today! She is crawling everywhere and has six teeth. Below are some pictures over the Labor Day weekend.

August

2010-08-28T07:45:00.000-07:00

August has been going by so quick! Lots of birthdays this month, including Connally's and Caroline's. Addison had a great time at both of them!

Addison spent her first Fourth of July in Corpus visiting with family. She loved spending time with her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, and slept through the fireworks on 4th of July!

All dressed up in her Red, White and Blue!

Eating & Jumping

2010-06-27T13:34:00.000-07:00

As you can see, Addison likes the prunes and cereal, with them displayed all over her face. She doesn't quite care for the puffy snacks yet . You can see how tall she is getting in the last picture in her doorway jumper!

8 Months

2010-06-21T08:43:00.000-07:00

Addison turned 8 months old on June 7th, and is on the verge of crawling any day now. She can "commando" crawl across the floor, but when she gets up on her knees and rocks back and forth, she just hasn't figured out how to go forward without falling down.

Below are a few pictures of her over the last 2 weeks!

So cute!

2010-05-16T07:06:00.000-07:00

Here's a video clip of Addison laughing!

7 Months

2010-05-12T14:20:00.000-07:00

Addison just turned 7 months last week! She's started eating fruit now, and this girl sure does love eating. We put up a swing on the front porch for her, and she loves swinging in it and watching cars drive by.

Six Month Pictures

2010-04-23T19:34:00.001-07:00

Here they are! We are so excited about how Addison's six month pictures turned out. She was so cute, and had fun until the very end when she got really tired. Below are some favorites, but all of them are at the following link:

http://picasaweb.google.com/tiffgunter/AddisonSixMonths?feat=directlink

Six Months Old!

2010-04-19T07:51:00.000-07:00

Addison is now 6 months old, and just keeps growing and discovering new things every day. She weights 19.2 pounds and is 27 inches long (97th percentile for both.)

She started eating vegetables, and after a rough start with the peas, she now loves them and all the other ones. About a week ago, we discovered she had one tooth that had come in, and the next day, another one showed up.

This girl loves to jump, and has so much fun in her door-way jumper and bouncer. We had her six-month pictures taken last week, so I hope to have those soon to post!

More pictures can been seen at these links:

Happy Easter!

2010-03-29T14:06:00.001-07:00

Addison met the Easter Bunny for the first time today! She looked so cute in her Easter dress and bow that Monty made for her.

Lots-of-Love

2010-03-20T08:24:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it, but mom saved one of my old Care Bears, and we had someone that gave us a Care Bear outfit with the same design on it.

Here are some pictures of Addison dressed as Lots-of-Love hanging out with my old Care Bear!

Having Fun

2010-03-17T12:25:00.001-07:00

Just a few pictures of Addison enjoying her exersaucer and jumper!

Go, Tyce, Go!

2010-03-06T16:26:00.001-08:00

Tyce had his first soccer game this weekend, and did a great job! He is on the "Bee" team, with some of his friends from school. Check out the video clip below of him playing below.

Good Times

2010-02-28T14:50:00.000-08:00

Addison had some friends over we hadn't seen in a while, Andrea and Luca. She had such a blast, and the Haveman crew stopped by to say hi as well. As you can see, by the end of the day, she was worn out.

New Sounds

2010-02-21T19:01:00.001-08:00

Addison has discovered she can make funny sounds now. Here's a short video clip of her latest, "smacking" sound while she watches Baby Einstein.

Four Months Old!

2010-02-12T16:16:00.000-08:00

Addison turned 4 months old last Sunday! She weighs 16 lbs, and is 25-1/2 inches long.

She is such a sweet girl, and is learing how to hold her head up much longer and enjoys looking around at everything. She loves bath time now, and enjoys splashing us while she takes it.

We started her on cereal on Monday, and she still isn't quite sure about it.

14 Weeks

2010-01-18T12:36:00.000-08:00

Just a few pictures of Addison since she turned 14 weeks old last week. She now is at least ok with tummy time (somewhat), and enjoys watching the ball spin around and flash and make sounds.

She is so excited to sit in her bouncy seat and watch Baby Einstein DVD's. We enjoyed dressing her up to go to Daniel's (her cousin) birthday party this past weekend in her cute pink/grey outfit.

Addison - 3 Months

2010-01-09T16:24:00.000-08:00

Addison turned 3 months old this past week! She is growing more and more, and smiles all the time. She has now discovered she has hands, and loves watching them trying to figure out what they are. Her nanny started this past week, and things have been going great.

New Year's Eve 2009

2010-01-02T11:41:00.000-08:00

We rang in 2010 at home with a small group of friends. Meridith, Craig, Lisa, Vanessa, Cheryl, Worth, Alyson & Ed all came over for some pizza, drinks and games!

We tried out a new game Lisa brought over, Party Playoff, which definitely sparked some good debates, like who would be a better disco dancer... William Shatner or Vanilla Ice? I think Vanilla Ice won that category. After midnight, we decided to play another fun game, Cranium.

Christmas 2009

2009-12-31T12:50:00.000-08:00

We were blessed with a White Christmas this year in Dallas! The snow started falling on Christmas Eve, and came down until late in the night. Scott's family traveled in from Corpus, San Antonio and Austin.

This was the first Christmas both of our families were together, and it was a great one because Addison was with us. We spent Christmas Eve at Monty's house and had some yummy Mexican food, and then ventured over to Aunt Sue's house on Christmas day for lunch.

2009-12-09T13:05:00.001-08:00

Addison saw Santa for the first time today! She was sleepy, so he pulled out "The Night Before Christmas" to read to her.

She also had her 2 month check up today, and is doing great! She's almost doubled her birth weight and already rolled over a few weeks ago.

Weight = 12 lbs. 11 oz. (95th percentile)

Head = 15.5 in. (75th-80th percentile)

Baby Dedication

2009-11-16T17:04:00.000-08:00

We dedicated Addison at church on Sunday, November 15th. She was beautiful! Scott's family were in town from Corpus, so we all had lunch together at Fuddruckers (aka Firecrackers's according to Tyce) after church.

Below is a video clip from the service, and the link has pictures from the entire weekend, including decorating the house for Christmas!

Addison's 1 Month Update

2009-11-09T09:36:00.000-08:00

Height = 21.8 in.
Head = 15 in.

We had some family pictures taken yesterday for our Christmas card, so I have posted those below.

Addison had a great 1st Halloween dressed as a ladybug! We hung out at Monty & Pop's and handed out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters that came by their house. The whole family ended up there at the end of the night. Tyce was the UPS driver, and always asks to hold Addison. He is such a good cousin!

3 Weeks Old

2009-10-29T08:33:00.000-07:00

Addison is now 3 weeks old, and doing great! I've attached a few pictures that show some of our outings to Monty's house, hanging out with her cousin Hudson, and her first bath in her baby bath tub. We are trying to wear all of the Halloween outifts we have before October 31st!
