Almost three

Tumbling

Walking to the Bix

It is very hard to believe that in a month, my little lady will be three!!!! It is amazing how quickly time passes. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were learning how to crawl, walk, talk, and do all the amazing things that she can do now. Here is an update on things that Addison is doing and saying that just make me laugh everyday!

• "Dad has a hea-bake. Get better dad"
  


• Papa was going to poker one night and Addison told him to "win big" and he did. Now we need her to say, "share your winnings with me." =]
  


• Addison and Carter are starting to have actual conversations. Here is the one from tonight. A: I need some socks. C: You're crazy. A: I'm not crazy.
  


• Addison ran in the Jr. Bix this summer and I asked her if she was going to run fast, she said "Yes, like Lightning McQueen"
  


• She started Tiny Tot Tumbling at the Y this week! She is pretty good at the balance beam!
  


• She saw Baby kicking the other day and I asked her what he was doing. She said, "He is swimming"
  


• She loves to listen to princess music in the car and "Mac's" song (Life is a Highway) from Cars.

30 weeks 6 days

I have passed a milestone. If this were my last pregnancy, we would have baby # 2 already. I only made it 31 weeks and 2 days. I am now on 31 weeks 4 days. Hopefully, I can keep it up and keep baby cookin' at least another 6 weeks. I have been feeling really good and have had a great summer hanging out with my peanut! I go back to school next Wednesday so we will see how it goes!

Addison and belly pics

28 weeks 6 days

Well, I have been slacking on the belly pics which stinks since I said that I was going to be better about that. I have been feeling really good. They did diagnose me with gestational diabetes which kinda stinks since now I have to really watch what I am eating! Addison is doing great! We went to the zoo the other day and she fed the giraffes and rode a pony! Here are some new Addison sayings.

• Addison just got over a cold so she did a lot of blowing her nose. When she needs a kleenex, she says "I need a blownex!"




• When we are talking about what we are doing for the day, she will say "oh, that will be fun!"




• She still remembers when we went to see the airplanes and when we see one flying in the sky, she will say, "I saw the airplanes on Sunday!" (even though that was about a month ago)




• Addison has been having issues sleeping in her own bed so we have put her elmo couch in our bedroom and tell her that if she wants to sleep with mom and dad that she has to sleep on the couch and she no longer gets to use her pacifier. Her pacifier has to stay in her room. I am hoping that is a big enough incentive to get her to stay in her room, so far it is not working. She always starts in her room and around 4 will come into our room.
  

I think we are going to take the kids to their very first movie in the theater on Sunday. Cars 2 here we come!

Addison

Crazy how quickly summer passes. Cannot believe that it is July 4th already! Addison is having a fabulous summer. Here is an update of what she is up to.

• She will go up to little kids and say "Hi, I am Addison" and then wait for them to introduce themselves. She always ends up calling the girls "Sara" no matter what they tell her (Cailou's friend)
  


• When she wants the attention of a group of people, kids or adults, she will say "Hey kids, look at me"
  


• Potty is still going well. She will leak in her undies and then run up to me and say "Mommy potty!"
  


• Yeserday she went potty and requested a sucker. I told her that I didn't know where they were. She said "They are around somewhere"
  


• She goes off the diving board by herself. (caught by an adult)
  


• She loves go under the water during ring around the rosie.
  


• She will stay on the stairs at the pool and play ring around the rosie all by herself. She stays under the water for about 5 seconds! (Future swimmer?!?)
  


• She loves princesses! It is fun to watch her play with them and see how they interact with each other.



• When asked about where the baby is, she will say "Under Mommy's belly!" She has also started coming up to my tummy and saying "Hi baby Gus"
  


• she went fishing for the first time last weekend with her own princess pole!

I think we did it!!!

Very proud in her big girl undies and a sucker for going on the potty!



Addison is officially potty trained!!! It took less than a week. For the past two days, she has been telling us when she has to go and has used many different bathrooms in a lot of different places!!! When it is time for her to flush, she likes to lift the lid and say that it is a "Naked toilet"

New story. I downloaded a bunch of princess songs from Disney movies to listen to in the car. Addison has her own names for a lot of those songs.

Princess and the Frog: "Ray's song" and "Louis's song"

Cinderella: "prince song" and "mouse song"

Tangled: "Pascal's song" and "bad guy song"

Most of the time, we listen to one song over and over but every once in awhile, she lets us move on.

OK, on to me. It has been awhile since I posted about the pregnancy.
