Our lives have not seemed to slow down quite yet. This weekend we have Dan's cousin wedding, in which Addie is the flower girl. The past few weeks I have not been able to get her to put on the dress, so I told her it was princess Addie's dress, and she put it ON!! Let's hope that later today she will do the same! Little nervous...
~Addie Update~
Addie is such a wonderful 2-year old. Don't get me wrong, we see the "terrible twos" come right out of her sometimes, but it is manageable. She is fully potty trained, day and NIGHT!! Every once and awhile we have an accident at night if she drank too late, but she does AWESOME! I think we started not diapering her at night three weeks ago and she has only had three accidents (at night).
She continues to learn SO much. She is great with her colors and shapes, and is now learning her letters. We are working on learning her name and she has the A down, but makes up the rest of the letters at this point. She usually says "A-O-A-I...." or similar to that. She is able to recognize when you write her name down or she sees it written somewhere. She talks very well and her vocabulary grows all the time.
She sleeps well in her own bed, but requires either Dan or I to lay with her until she falls asleep. This started when I went back to work. I really think she just wants a little more time with us, so we take turns doing this. She doesn't take long to fall asleep, but it certainly makes us ready for bed when we have been laying in a dark room for 15 minutes! She sleeps through the night, but sometimes wakes up to go potty.
She loves to play and goof around, twirl in circles, and pretend to ride her horsey around the house! Well, those are just a few of her favorites. She loves playing with her babies, 52 card pick-up (mom and dad don't like this game so much), reading her books, helping mom cook, watching Calliou, and playing outside.
A few pictures to complete Miss Addie's update....
This little incident happened a few weeks ago. Addie got a little wild with a red marker, and she was SO sneaky about it! Needless to say, we took 2 baths that night!
Addie LOVES Sunday School. She will ask to go all the time. Here she is painting her first picture with water colors. She did SO well with it, so I bought some for home too!
Addie's "i'm up to something" look...

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!! :)
