Addie's New Ride

So, we normally don't make big purchases on the spir of the moment; but yesterday we did. Tom had seen this really cute Power Wheels VW Bug around Christmas time for Addie but I said no. Well, it was on sale again this week and I called Tom to tease him about it, and the next thing I know I am trying to jimmy rig it into the car to get it home. I must say that I am extremely excited that we bought it because Addie loves it! We can't get her out of it. She isn't very good at driving it yet and it kind of freaks her out when she makes it go. But other than that she loves it. She likes to take our car keys and try to put them in it and she loves steering it. We didn't put all the stickers on it that came with it because they are Barbie. But we hope to find some cute Minnie Mouse stickers that will match it. Check out Addie in her new ride!

Getting in for the first time! She loves that she can open the door and get in and out by herself!

Addie driving by herself! She would only push the pedal for a second so she kept going a little and stopping really fast.

Animal Sounds

This is just a quick tid bit about Addie and her animal sounds. She is getting better and better at speaking and it makes me so happy! Tonight as I put her to bed I read her a book that had animals in it and I totally bribed her to say the noises for me. It was so easy too. All I did was tell her she could have her binky once she said them all. I know I am a horrible mom, I swear I won't ever do it again! But she was so cute saying them all!

Here are some of the animal noises she knows:
Bear, Lion, and Dinosaur all say roar but a Tiger says Grrr. She also knows dog, duck, cat, lamb, cow,and frog. The Frog is the cutest because she says "Rob! Rob!" I know she knows other ones but those are the ones I was having her say tonight.

Some other fun things she really likes to say right now are: "Let's go!" and "Here you go." And now she says please and thank you while she signs them, instead of just the sign.

I also have been working on teaching her numbers and the parts of her body. She can kind of hold up her fingers for numbers 1-5 and her favorite part is to give a high five when you get to that number. She also knows all the parts of her face and her hands, feet, toes, and of course belly button!

She is at such a fun age right now! She is getting girlier and girlier by the day. Her new favorite thing to do every day is scream and squeal and run around the house when dad gets home. It makes Tommy's day when she does it. I just love my little girl!

PS Sorry that turned out to be longer than a tid bit. I just get so excited when Addie learns new things.

Long Time No Post

I would like to apologize for not posting for quite a while. We have been quite busy the last couple of weeks. There have been a lot of good and bad things that have happened lately. So here is a list of some of the stuff we've done.

1. Got some bad news (my turn)
2. Had surgery
3. Got more bad news (tommy's turn)
4. Sewed a dress for my neice and a cape for my nephew
5. Went to the Air Show
6. Sewed curtains for Addie's room
7. Saw Up in 3D
8. Sold our car

So you see there have been more good things than bad, but still not the funnest time in my life. Sorry this hasn't been the happiest post I've ever done. I've been a bit of a negative nelly lately. Here is picture of Addie to cheer me up. She fell asleep in the car on the way home from the Air Show.
