Addison turns 2!

 

Addison Rose turns 2!

Addison Rose is turning 2,

We'll have the cake & fun,

We just need you!

 

That's right, Addison is 2 years old today! We ask her how old she is and she politely replies, "Two!" So cute! Addison talks a lot, but you really have to know her to understand what she is saying. She can say a lot of words if I ask her to say them as I point out things, but she seems to forget she has the ability to tell us her wants & needs. She will walk to whatever she wants if she really gets frustrated. Addison continues to be a good eater, most of the time. She still likes her vegetables, but 2 times a day usually skips the meal or snacks altogether! She seems hungry until we sit to eat and then she is "all done!" Addison's favorite word is "crackers, " using this word for cereal, wheat thins, and chips! She LOVES to snack, which is something I have to work on stopping. She is definitely turning two, though, as we find her pulling out a lot of Alivia's hair (to defend herself typically), screaming at the top of her lungs just because she can and she has even bitten Mommy & Daddy once each! Ouch! (I think she will only bite us once, though!). Addison's favorite things to do are play with her babies, color, and play in the water outside in the sprinkler toys or in the pool (although she does not like going to the big pool necessarily). Oh, and she still loves her taggies and her thumb. Potty training? I think she would have done better when she was 20 months old than now because she is too smart now. "Do you have to go potty, Addison?" "NO!" is her general reply. But, she is always ready to tell me after she has gone in her diaper or help me out by taking her diaper off and laying down and waiting for a new one. I have a feeling it will be a few months before we have full success (and commitment from me). She tends to stay close to Mommy, but will run errands with whoever is leaving (she hates being left behind). Addison is starting to show more of her independence by taking off her clothes and trying to put them on by herself, washing her hands by herself, and just today - she started to climb up the rockwall on the playset by herself (We call her our little Curious George because she is curious but now because she is a little monkey, too!). I think we will see our little girl's personally really come out in the next few months. 

Happy Birthday Addison Rose! We love you!

 (Below are some pictures from her birthday party. She had a lot of fun and loved being the center of attention. She loved her new toys, playing with her cousin Lucas, and eating fruit and "crackers" aka chips. She even blew out her birthday candles (but did not like eating the cake). Her birthday cake this year was a doggy because of her love of dogs. We go on walks and she points out every doggy we see. She had quite a day!)
