Addie is 17 months old!


Well, our Addie is 17 months old! It just seems so strange that we have another little girl running around the house. Although Addison is still our baby, she is quickly growing out of that stage! She loves food, playing on the swingset (she can climb up the big slide!), throwing balls around the kitchen, brushing her teeth, wrestling with Daddy, and she LOVES to find fun places to hide her toys. It is not uncommon to find her toys in the washer (it is a front loader), dryer, drawers, cabinets, and really anywhere she can reach. We always get a laugh when we have to empty the washing machine before we can use it!
Her words are coming along too. Although it may be a while before she says Payton! Her every day words are Mumma, Dada, nite nite, nana (banana), baby, and she is so cute when she tries to say please and thank you! We just love her little language. A lot of which right now is just babble!
This girl really knows what is going on too. She still sleeps with her pacifier and a little blanket. We will tell her "Addie, go put your bun bun (her little blanket has a little bunny's head on it) and pugger (our word for pacifier) in your bed. And there she will go and shove them through the slats of her crib. Last night I had her pjs and a diaper on the ottoman in the living room and I asked her to bring me her clothes. She grabbed the pj's and her diaper and walked right over. That is strange because she does not like having her diaper changed lately! She has a stong will though. She knows when she is doing something she shouldn't, but when we say "Addie, please stop that honey." She will just starting doing whatever she is doing faster in hopes to get more time in before we pull her away from it! This really frustrates Payton when it is the TV controls Addie is messing with! Payton and Addison really have started to play together. Although usually that involves Payton dictating the play and Addie following along. Payton will get mad when Addison is done, but that baby with just get up and move on. No worries for our Addie!

Addie is beautiful, just like her sister! I love her stylish hair-do. Well done, Tina!

That fluffy blond hair is SO much different that Payton's think curly hair! But we do manage to get 2 pig-tails in it:)
