Tomorrow.....

I become a big sister!

"I Two"

is what Addy will say when asked "how old are you?" She will also put up her two fingers from time to time, it depends on her mood.

I can't get over the fact that our little lady is two years old today. It is amazing how quickly time flies, and how much fun we are having. Words can't describe our love for our sweet little angel. We are so blessed to have her in our world.

Addy has grown leaps and bounds over the past couple of months. Here is what our little lady is up to these days:

• is mum mum's (that's what she calls me) little helper. She adores helping me cook, empty the dishwasher, unpack the groceries.....you name it, she loves helping. I need to get her started on weekly chores!



• such a daddy's girl. When Dave is home on the weekends, she is all about dad!



• her vocabulary is growing at an incredible rate. she picks up new words each day. she is also forming 2-3 word mini-sentences. she likes to tell me that there is a "monkey in tree" and she will then proceed to make the sound for a monkey. a couple weeks ago, as we were walking LT, I stopped to throw away some garbage in the park, Addy turns to the garbage can and says "bye bye LT poop". she makes me laugh ever day. i love that munchkin.
  


• can count with you to 10.
  



• can usually identify the colors blue, pink & orange. if you ask her what color an object is, she will usually start with blue, but once she concentrates....she gets it right. she will also pick up something orange and say "orange"
  



• knows the circle shape. we need to work on the others
  



• loves Mickey Mouse, Little Einsteins and Dora the Explorer. we have to go into the Disney store when we are at the mall. The big Mickey Mouse face at the entrance makes her day.
  



• is a picky eater. she is pretty good about eating veggies, but could care less about meat. her favorite meal: ham, mashed potatoes & corn. she devours this dish, so it has become a weekly staple.
  



• loves playing outside, reading books, dancing, singing, jumping and playing hide and go seek.
  



• can make the following animal/object sounds: train, cow, monkey, sheep, pirate, horse, cat, ghost, turkey, snake, duck, pig, car (beep beep), airplane


• thinks its hysterical to scare LT. If she brings home a new toy or balloon (LT's worst nightmare), she chases him around the house, laughing hysterically as LT runs and jumps out of her way. Poor LT, he is a good sport.



• also thinks "grooming" LT is a daily necessity. She likes to pretend to blow his nose, clip his toenails, brush his hair.....she is going to be a wonderful big sister.
  

Wiggles

Sunday evening I took Addy to see the Wiggles in concert. We went with our friends Corrine and Emily and had a blast. Addy's eyes were filled with amazement the minute the show started and was mesmerized the entire time. She was standing on my lap dancing, clapping, and trying to sing along. She even danced in the aisle. We were sad when the show ended, but she had a smile on her face the entire ride home, as we listened to the Wiggles CD.

On our way to Wiggles!

So excited

Halloween

Addy had so much fun on Halloween. I was nervous that she was going to throw a fit when it came time to put her costume on, but she was excited to put it on and wear it around. I think she liked all of the attention! She loved going door to door, picking out her candy. If Dave and I stopped to talk to the neighbors, she would grab our hand and head off to the next house! We are already excited for next year!

Halloween play date

All the kiddos!

Baby Sitter

Looking for a baby sitter.....any takers?

Hilton Head - Trip #2

I can't believe its snowing right now. It is so cold and dreary outside, I decided to finally post some pictures from our sunny, warm vacation in Hilton Head, which we took last month with my family. Oh - to be on the beach in 80 degree weather!

Yea! We are on vacation!

I like the pool, but I'm not so sure about this float.

Let me at that castle!

Big Sister

My due date actually moved back to March 16, 2010 based upon my most recent doctor's appt. My c-section will be scheduled for March 9th - one week prior to my due date. I'm sure it will be here before we know it!

We will not find out the sex of the baby for this pregnancy. We are very excited to keep it a surprise and find out on March 9th!

xoxo,

Kristen, David, Addison and LT
