It seems that Addison has been with us forever and at the same time, it's so hard to believe that my baby is a year and a half old!! My oh my time flies.
Addison is absorbing everything. Its just amazing to watch her learn. She knows her shapes (circle, triangle, square, oval, star, & heart), colors (red, blue, yellow, green, purple, orange, white & black), animal sounds (dog, cat, sheep, chicken, cow, horse, squirrel, bear & owl), manners (please, thank you, you're welcome) and recognizes some letters (B is still the most important).
Things Addison loves: coloring, singing, music, the piano (real or pretend), 'plaaaay ball', hugs & kisses, books, spinning, being tickled, corn, brushing her teeth (really!), bows, chicken nuggets, Sesame Street, lotion, rainbows, stickers, buttons, spicy food, dancing, slippers, ravioli talking, water, bubbles and of course the moon.
The five things Addison wouldn't want to live without: Her Moon Book, her stuffies (dog, kitty-kitty, and just recently her bear), her crib aquarium, her sippy cup of water and crayons.
Addison still wags her little index finger at any electrical outlet she comes across, and takes direction pretty well. She is quiet when she's at a new location and around new people, but once she's done observing she is not shy - not one bit.
Addison is a little girl with a huge heart. She is very good at taking care of Maybel and being gentle with her old dog. Addison is very aware of others' feelings, is always happy to please and eager to earn praise (clapping and cheering 'yea' usually does the trick).
She's just the sweetest person I've been privileged to meet and it is a honor to be Addison's "Mum-Mum."
Eighteen months ago, my life took on a whole new meaning with a specific purpose of raising my little girl. Again, I ask: How can it get any better than this?
