Nap Time

Maggie makes a good pillow!

Picasso

Well, my little Picasso was unusually quiet and cooperative while I showered today. After I finished she proudly led me to my bedroom where she had done all this beautiful, orange crayon drawing on the wall. Bless her heart, she knows not to color on furniture or the floor, but walls we hadn't addressed yet. She really was proud of herself! Oh well, I hear the Magic Eraser works miracles!

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a big hit for Addison this year. She went all around the neighborhood gathering candy for Mommy to eat. She also loved opening the door and handing candy to the other kids!

Christmas in October

We picked this kitchen up today. It is Addison's Christmas present, but since it was already put together, I couldn't resist letting her play with it today. We will put it away when she goes to bed tonight, and she will have forgotten all about it by Christmas. She is a little too short for it, but she quickly solved that problem with her food container.

Good Friends...

A good friend will give you the shoes off his feet. Sam came over last night, and he brought his dress up boots, because he knows how much Addison loves them. She wore the boots around for awhile, then tiring of the boots, she persuaded Sam to give up his cool blue tennis shoes. Sam was happy to make the trade!

I don't share food...

Addison doesn't share food, but Grandpa isn't giving up, and Addison thinks it's pretty funny!

Tough Toddler Times!

Two of these pictures show how happy Addison is about the blue-icing cupcake Mom brought home from a baby shower. The other picture shows how MAD Addison is when she isn't allowed to hold the cupcake herself. She likes it....but not enough to let me feed her. Daddy got on to both of us for eating blue cupcakes on the stairs!

What Happened???

I am not sure what really happened here. Addison helps herself to full boxes of Cheerios from the pantry. One minute she was walking around snacking on them, and the next minutes she was on the floor covered in them. Maggie stays close to Addison's snacks and was happy to clean up the mess!

Fun in the Sun

The slide is Addison's favorite part of the pool. This pool is the best, because the slide is inside the baby pool, Addison can climb the stairs and slide down all by herself!

In the Doghouse

This picture has bad lighting, but it is still so cute! Even though she isn't supposed to be in there, Addison loves hanging out with Maggie in her crate. If I turn my head for a second Addison heads this way. Maggie doesn't seem to mind.

Addison's Big News

Addison will begin her role as Big Sister in the early part of April!!!

Stopping to smell the Flowers...

Addison went back to the fountains. She took a break to smell the flowers.

Playtime

Addison loves to play at the mall playground.

Sweet Puppy

Addison's Uncle Mike and Uncle Steve gave her this puppy when we saw them last weekend. Addison loved playing with it, until our real dog chewed the nose of off this one. Addison gets really frustrated about the missing nose. She brings me the dog and rattles off baby gibberish, that I would guess is telling me to "Fix It". Sadly, Mommy doesn't know how to sew, so the puppy must remain in this sad state until we see Grandma next weekend.

Pool Snacks

Addison loves to go to the pool! The verdict isn't yet in, which she likes best.....the swimming or the snacks!

Dear Dr. Dobson....

Determined not to be disciplined, Addison is studying up on the tactics we may use against her!

Addison loves to go to Market Street and play in the fountains. On this particular day she stole her Daddy's Coldstone milkshake. I guess that's what we get for teaching her to drink from a straw.
