19 Months!

Today, Miss Addison is 19 months old. Here are some things that our bright little lady knows how to do at 19 months.

• says "hi" to everyone and everything! Cars, tractors, people, you name it! Addison will say hi to it.
• knows where her nose, eyes, head, tummy and feet are when you tell her to point to them. She has some trouble with her ears, she always points to the side of her head.
• she is very head strong. She definately knows what she wants and where she wants to go. If we aren't going the same direction and I correct her, she throws herself on the floor, (terrible twos already!)
• she always questions where someone is when they leave the room. (eesh is what she says and puts her arms out)
• she still loves her pacifier. she will probably go to college with it. =]
• she loves to give hugs and pat you on the back.
• she finally said "mama" when I asked her who I was!!!
• she will definately be outdoorsie. She loves to go outside and walk around the block or take walks in the stroller.
• she is still a picky eater!
• She loves giving high fives to most people (Sorry Grandpa Buster)
• She loves attention!!! She will clap when she does something good.
• Bath time is still the best and swimming this summer will also be a lot of fun
• She still loves books!!!!
• Her first boyfriend is red with an orange nose who is a musician and has his own show!
• She loves to dance to the Flying Fairy school song and Murray had a little lamb from Sesame Street.

It is so hard to believe how fast time is flying by!!! I know I say this every month but it is incredible how quickly it goes. Cherish every moment!!

Ready to earn her keep

She is ready for her interviews!!!

18 months

It is hard to believe that we are halfway through another year!!! Addison is 18 months old today. She has changed so much and is becoming such a big girl. I realized this when I watched her walk into my school yesterday to visit me for lunch and she walked the whole way. She has seven teeth. When asked, she can tell you what a cat says, what a pig says and what a cow says. She is able to show you her belly, head, and feet. She said "mom" on Saturday after I left the basement to get her a snack. She still loves books and terrorizing the dog and cat. It is hard to believe that in 6 short months we will be celebrating another milestone in being a two year old.

And when she wraps her hand around my finger, Oh it puts a smile in my heart, Everything becomes a little clearer, I realize what life is all about.

17 months

Happy 17 month birthday Addison!!!! My little peanut is getting so old!!! Here are somethings that Addison loves to do.

She loves to chase the kitty around the house and tries to pull the kitty's tail until Daisy gets annoyed. She still loves to dance. She is getting over her first cold ever. She loves to hide behind things and pop out to scare you and play peek-a-boo. She loves to be chased. She can say dada, rara, nana, baba, and Hank. She can say mom but not on command. She would rather sign mom. She can sign mom, more, and bath. She has great receptive language skills. She knows all of the Sesame street characters, farm animals, knows where her head, tummy, and feet are, and we are working on colors. She knows what a cat and a cow says and will tell you when asked. Ryan loves her short little legs!

I cannot believe how big she is getting and how far she has come from the Iowa City NICU.
