Ramblings

I feel like I should update my blog one more time before I have to update it next weekend for

Addison's 2nd birthday. You can tell that I have started back to school. I neglect my updates. Not much new with us. We are just trying to get used to Ryan's new schedule and how is works when I am back in school. He has been working a lot and we don't see much of him. The good thing is he has at least one weekend day off, usually. Ryan is very excited for Iowa football season to start and always lets me know when they get a new recruit or when they lose one. Addison is talking up a storm. She is coming up with new words every day. She is getting very good at blowing bubbles and blowing candles our on birthday cakes. She loves going over to grandmas house and playing all day long. She also loves to go to child watch at the Y when her mommy and grandma go to bootcamp. I have begun another schools year and it has started out great. I have everyone from last year and one new little girl from preschool.

Almost two!! One more month

Happy 23rd month b-day Addison!!! Here are some things that have happened in the last month and new things that you are doing

• You can sign more, milk, movie, chip, fish, airplane, and please.
  
• Your vocabulary has expanded a lot this month. You are starting to put two words together. It is most often "hi" and then the noun you are refering to. You can say please, hi, g, juice, mom, dad, me, baby, papa, all of the animal sounds but no animal names yet, eye, nose, Cubs go, and so many other words that I cannot possibly write them all down but the ones above are the ones you say most often.
  
• You are in a big girl bed! This has been a difficult transition. It is hard to keep you in your big bed all night long.


• You love to camp and sleep in a tent.


• You love to dance, play the drums, and help mommy play the guitar.


• You love animals. All of your favorite books are animal books.
• You love to swim but everything has to be your own way!!


• You are very daring with some things but also very cautious with others.


• You love to hang out with your cousins (Cody, Callie, Colton, Trenton, Jaxson, Marshall, and Carter)


• Mommy had a great summer with you and was so sad to see it end!

Mommy and Daddy love you Addison Marie! I cannot believe that when I write this in a month, I am going to have a two year old! It doesn't seem possible.
