A day late. Sorry, Addi! We were just so busy working on potty training. Addi told me she wanted to pee pee on the potty and did! Woo hoo! She is still very inconsistent but is interested and we are trying to keep it that way. She has been spending a lot of time with a bare bottom! This age is SO much fun, I am loving it. We see more of Addi's personality every day and she is just a beautiful, smart, fun, silly, affectionate, kind and caring little girl. Addi is still in love with her little sister "Baby Stella" or "Baby Sis" as she calls her. Hugs and kisses galore. Addi has begun singing her ABC's but "Single Ladies" is still her fav. She has also been eating on her own with a spoon or fork but is still practicing getting it just right. She'll eat just about anything and still loves fruits and veggies.
We spend most of our days dancing, singing, reading, playing, etc. Addi now likes to pretend "clean" and "help" Mommy around the house. Addi still takes two naps each day and seems to just love to sleep. She says "Night, night!" and "Night, Roo", "Night, Stella" and heads up the stairs to her room for bed! Its wonderful! It has been a beautiful fall and we have been able to walk almost every day. Usually, Addi will eat her lunch when we go out and also loves to run around outside. Last weekend we went to Connecticut to see family and Addi loved petting the horses! We also went to a pumpkin farm (see pics) where she loved picking her own pumpkins and seeing the animals. Life is so much fun right now, I can't wait to see what my big girl does next! I must also write just how excited I am getting for the holidays this year! They can't come soon enough!!!
