Addie Update

Addie, Addie...I have to brag on her a little bit.  She surprises us every single day.  Not only has she begun to ask me "Why?" and expect a valid answer, her appetite has increased, her vocabulary is amazing, and she can count from 1-6 and once from 6-11.  Don't ask me who taught her to go past ten.  Addie also loves to sing and tries so hard to sing her ABC's.

Addie takes a great nap everyday and sleeps all night.  She used to use the "potty" on occasions but has decided the diaper is the way to go for now.  She loves to color and always wants to go go go.  Corn is her favorite food this week, and she loves to snack on poptarts.  She can use her swimmie floats in the pool and doggy paddle all alone.  She works so hard to keep her mouth closed.  

Addie knows a few colors, but when you ask her "what color is this?" she will just shout out whatever color is on her mind without even looking at the object.  If you can get her to focus, she probably gets it right 50% of the time.

Reading is still a favorite pastime, but she likes to flip through the books more and more on her own.

She shocked me today.  It was almost time for her nap, so I took her to her room to change her diaper.  I asked her if she wanted to sleep on her Dora bed (a chair that folds out into a little bed) and she said No.  She curled up on it anyway,  and I covered her up not expecting her to stay put, and would you believe she is still there as we speak??  She may never do it again, but if she does, this would be the easiest transition ever!  She might just take naps on it and transition to her big girl bed later ( at least long enough for me to sand and paint her new bed).  So proud of her!  

She is changing so much!  Thanks for reading!!
