As Addison grows her favorite things change!
Her favorite.....
Book: Her special Tinker Bell photo album full of all the people she loves.
Toy: Her baby dolls and all their accessories.
Breakfast: Oatmeal, with a little brown sugar and raisins, a "Dora" yogurt, one turkey sausage and a glass of milk.
Way to be silly: Spinning, dancing and doing somersaults when the music is on.
Way to be bossy: She points and yells, "move". Then is a small, sweet voice she says, "Please."
Thing to wear: Swimming suit. She grabs her swim diaper and suit every morning and says "water".
Word: "Carley". She says Carley all day long. She has started wailing "Carley" when she is throwing a fit!
Color: Seems to be pink. She always picks out pink clothes or the pink play-doh.
Person to call: Papa. Whenever she hears a phone ringing she screams "Papa" and gets so excited. She asks to call Papa a least 30 times a day!
Snack: Microwave popcorn. She loves waiting underneath the microwave listening to it pop.
Animal: Deer. She walks around "blowing" like a deer and reading her deer book.
Movie: Ice Age. The only movie or TV she will sit and watch is Ice Age. She calls it the "baby meelow (movie)".
Game: Basketball. She loves dribbling and passing to Daddy and Kenton to shoot.
Song: the ABC song. She dances, tries to sing and tries to sign the song!
Thing to do: Using Play-doh. She makes balls and kitties!
Place to play: Outside. The yard, the park, the hiking trail. Rain or shine, she wants to be outside.
Way to help mommy: Sweeping and cleaning everything with a washcloth! And when I say everything, I mean everything, even my legs.
Way to help daddy: She buckles all the buckles on his back pack and outdoor gear. It is really funny when daddy goes to put on his backpack and can't because the buckles are closed!
Time of the day: Bedtime. She loves cuddling with mommy and daddy in our bed before she falls asleep. She will give daddy a back scratch and we talk about our day. And when Daddy gets home. She squeals with excitement when the dogs announce his arrival! She shakes with emotion!
Way to exercise: She does squats (so adorable) and stretches with mommy!
Chore: Feeding the dogs. She scoops the food and even picks up their bowls when they are done eating.
Place to "go-go": To the "water" (swimming pool). She loves to swim and be in the water. She holds her breath when she goes under the water. She is fearless.
New life skill: Using the potty. We have a ways to go before she is on her own, but she enjoys trying.
Thing to do like Daddy: Be naked and (pretend) drink coffee!!! Some mornings Daddy and Addi have coffee time together in the recliner. She even has her own coffee mug!
Thing to do like Mommy: Put on deodorant and blow-dry her hair. (A daily routine already for her.)
Big person thing to do: Taking pictures. She gets the tri-pod out and points the camera at different things and takes pictures! Really she does it! It is hilarious.
(the below picture of Carley is one of Addi's pictures)
Way to be sweet: She gives a million kisses on our face and giant bear hugs. She can very tender, when she wants to be!
Accessory: A dog collar. She wears them like they are necklaces! She will even hook a leash to it and make you walk her around the yard!!!
Thing to try and get away with: Feeding the dogs people food and throwing food at dinner.
I seriously cannot wait to meet this little Addison in person. I have loved learning about her through your emails, and now your blog. What a tremendous little one! And your descriptions of her are just fantastic. Please give her big kisses for me and have some fun, rolling on the floor laughing time with her for me too.

Addison...She had such a personality since that first day at the hospital. I remember driving home, Dave & I talked about how amazed we were that we could already get a sense of who she was and who she was going to be. And she has truely lived up to our expectations!
ReplyDeleteI will always remember Addi as being probably the most beautiful little newborn I have ever seen. And now, with spending so much time at the hospital, I can truly say she was and is one little cutie pie! I love your descriptions of her and the way she is growing. She is just so dang adorable!
