Addison Says "Catch me if you can Daddy"

The makers of the Jeep Liberty Renegade will be happy to know that their product has passed the "Off Road" test. Addison was joined by Abby for this phase of product testing.

O'Captain My Captain

As a wedding gift, Brett bought me this wooden statue of a Captain. He figured if he gave it to me as a wedding gift I could NEVER get rid of it. So in turn, the Captain has become subject to my decorating needs. With the help of Holly, Bretts mom, the Captain has become an iconic part of our front porch. So far, these are some of the outfits that our Captain has been adorned with. Stay tuned for more holiday outfits!!

We had pasta with red sauce for the first time and we think she enjoyed it (the grin says it all!). Although most of it ended up on the floor, we give her an "A" for effort on the self feeding. The dogs are loving this adventure that Addison is attempting to take on.

Feb 2010-April 2010: Our little girl is growing with leaps & bounds! Addison is super excited to be a big sister, at least that’s what we keep telling ourselves. She rubs mommy’s belly and says baby. We keep telling her she is getting a brother for her birthday, yet continually looks at us with her famous puzzled look. Addison had successfully been going #2 on the potty every morning and is so excited about it. She makes us leave the bathroom & close the door and when she’s done she comes running out butt naked, with an ear to ear smile giggling telling us “I Did It, come see”. Every now and then she tells us she has to go potty, but we haven’t been as lucky with that phase, but we’re headed in the right direction. We have found that stickers work Fantastic as a reward.Addison’s newest phrases: “What Happened?” We do our best to explain…sometimes we just say “Nothing Happened”. The other new one, “What’s that?” I love this one because she is just a huge sponge, I just let her ask away until she stops or gives up!At least we haven’t gotten to the “Why” phrase yet! Addison Loves to talk on the phone and has to say hi to whoever you’re talking to: It usually goes something like this: “Hi Grandma (or daddy…) What doin’?” ….then a dial tone….we are making a lot of return calls these days.The weather is getting warmer and our little fish is loving the pool…next up, official swimming lessons.
Dec 2009-Jan 2010: So I have a whole lot of words i say now...Eyeball, mouth, nose, ear, belly, shoes, Bella, Jake, sorry, please, dor-dor (Dora), Gabba (Yo Gabba Gabba), Elmo, Cookie (as in monster), water, juice,milk, baba (bottle) apple, chicken, cheese, pizza, cracker, mac (as in mac-n-cheese), bye bye, night night, fish, doggie, & duck. Sounds: Cow, moo; Lion, roar; Monkey, ooo, ooo; Train, choo choo; Doggie, woo woo; Kitty cat, meow; & Duck, quack quack. Names: Grandma, PaPa, GG, Abby, Pat, Joe, Susies (yes plural). Sign Language: all done & eat. Favorite things: My xmas slide, dancing, running, jumping on the bed, couch or in my crib, climbing all over the dogs, playing in my kitchen, books, and stealing the popcorn tub out of the pantry when mommy & daddy arent looking, lip gloss, pretend makeup (like mommy), brushing my teeth, taking a shower, playing in the dogs water bowl, playing with daddys tools (especially the screw driver), playing the piano & harmonica, pushing my baby in the stroller, & playing with my friends!
