Dance With Elmo

As of late this toy has become one of Addison's favorites . . . And when Elmo says to dance, well she dances!!!




Wonder what Elmo said here . . .


Hugs for Elmo!

Miss Independent

Addison demonstrating her own independence by putting on her own shoes!


Never mind the fact that they are on the wrong feet . . . she did this all by herself. Thatagirl!

Because It's All She Knows . . .

This little girl has seen an awful lot of pre-packaged food in her life . . . Here's proof:

Addison was going to "cook Mommy lunch." So off she goes with at package of stroganoff noodle mix.


And where does she cook it?


In the microwave, of course!

JJ's visit

JJ came to visit too! I cannot tell you how happy I was to see her. Of course, I was still all gimped-up and couldn't do much but lay around on my ice-pack - but it did so much for my mental state! ;)

JJ took her out to blow bubbles and for some reason Addison wanted to be at the end of the bubble blower each time - which meant she kept shooting them into her face! Jj really tried to show her the right way to point the bubbles . . .


Wish I had video of the squealing going on while chasing her bubbles. . .



JJ also spent A LOT of time coloring with Addison. Addison was in heaven and I think it's safe to say that Jj had some fun too . . .




They also enjoyed Addison's new favorite activity: Picking Flowers


Addison with all of her Aunt & Uncles (from my side)


This made me laugh so I had to take a picture to remember . . . . We were getting ready to leave and Addison HAD to have a purse so she could be like Jj. To me it was sweet; but to Addison, this was serious business!


Addison loved having Jj here almost as much as I did, and she still asks for "Jj come to "Addson's House??"

So Jj, please come back soon!!! We have the 64 count crayons now . . . . .

Uncles

Clint came to visit for a few days and Addison basked in all of the attention she got from two of her Uncles . . .


Don't think you need me to tell you what was going on here . . .


Monka got in on the picture fun - that's RARE; but oh, so funny!


Yep, Addison was so happy to be doted on by these two guys!


The stone-cold look I got when i told her it was time to tell Clint & Kyle good-bye:

Tea vs Trike

Addison opened this little tea set on her birthday and all of a sudden nothing else existed . . .


I couldn't get her to even glance in my direction - that is until she asked if she could open the box . .


Here's the look I got when I told her, "Nope."


Then I explained that she couldn't open it because she had one more gift to open. This little face is much happier . . .


Here is the last gift:


The trike was only fun for about two minutes . . . mainly because she had a new tea set that needed tending to.

My Cupcake Cutie

So, you already know that Addison LOVES cakes but wants nothing to do with actually eating one.

On her Birthday we broke out the cupcakes anyway and she was SO EXCITED!!


Mainly she was excited for the "Party Candles!"

At her Birthday party she really tried; but she had a very hard time getting those party candles out.

This time Sean thought he'd give her a few pointers . . . .


. . . Here she's telling him that she's got it handled. . .


. . . And she was right!


She was so proud . . .


. . . can you tell?!?!?

Kyle to the Rescue

Addison's Birthday was the first day that both my Mom and Sean had to be back at work since my surgery. I was still on my crutches and unable to lift Addison so Uncle Kyle came to our rescue! He spent the entire day taking care of both Addison and I. As you will see in the following pictures, Addison was completely happy having Uncle Kyle around all day!!!



Thumbs up for Uncle Kyle!



Thank you Kyle! We couldn't have done it without you!!!

Airport Ballerina

On Addison's birthday (May 26th) we stopped by to visit Monka at work.

First Addison & Monka sat and chatted up a storm


"I'm TWO YEARS OLD! Can you believe it??!!"


Then they went for a little run



And of course, they had to get their groove-on!






Yep, it's safe to say, a good time was had . . .


. . . by all!!


HUGS!
