Addi’s Birthday

Addi turned two a very long time ago.  July 31 to be exact.  I am a slacker momma.  Its ok though, I am sure she forgives me.  My excellent friend took some pictures so we can always remember the adorable little girl.

I have one of the pictures of her eating the cake in her room and for awhile every time she saw it she would say “Hi Addi, eat cake”.  She thought she was pretty cool.

Her birthday was pretty low key.  Loren was still living with us so she was there but that was about the extent of our guest list.  I love how she acts when she opens presents.  Like that was the exact thing she has been wanting her whole life.

Will and I gave her an easel.  She was quite amazed with dry erase markers but sadly she would not put the lids back on so they all dried up very quickly.  I banned them for quite awhile until she figured it all out and now she is back on good list for expo markers.

She also picked out a Lighting McQueen night light.  She passed right over all the cute princess ones and went straight for the car.  Sadly it lasted only a few weeks so now instead of lighting up it just sits on her dresser.  I think she tried to “drive” it one too many times and put a short it in or something.

 

Things we love about you:

1. That you call me Momma.  I love love love it.

2. The fact that you are still bald.  I have yet to deal with doing hair and that is definitely a good thing

3. You love to dance and have some very interesting dance moves (you have watched your dad too much)

4. Along with number three, you love to listen to the not happy little toddler music.  Example: Skrillex.  Your favorite.  Dad always puts it on in the car and you rock out, head banging and all.

5. You can go and go and go with all of your crazy energy

6. When you want to you can be such a big helper.  Laundry would have to be your favorite activity.  When the washer beeps you yell “wash done” and go and switch it over for me.

7. Your curiosity.  It is cute to watch you figure things out on your own. 

8. The tongue.  You get this from your dad.  Whenever you do something that requires any amount of brain power and concentration your tongue is sticking out of your mouth.

9. Your talking skills.  You can talk and talk and talk.  I like that when I ask you questions you can answer them back.  We have some pretty sweet conversations.

10. That you still love to read books.  My favorite time of the day is rocking you in your chair and reading books together.

Mom and Dad love you baby girl.

Happy Birthday!
