Addison is 3 years old and she weighs 33 pounds! We know b/c we were recently at the dr. Addison stays pretty well now a days... which is good. For a while I was starting to think she couldn't go a month without having a daycare cold or something... In addition to being perfectly petite and blissfully beautiful, Addison is SO SMART. Now instead of hearing "the dog says woof woof" we hear "dog d d dog, dog starts with a d!" WHAT?!! Yes, she sounds out pretty much every other word. It's amazing. She can not only count to 20 in English...she can count to 10 in Spanish! She actually speaks Spanish pretty fluently for a 3 year old. It's really funny and makes me such a sucker for anything -when she asks and says "por favor?" I will gladly give all credit to Dora the Explorer for her entire Spanish vocabulary. I was telling Jamey the other day that I thought it was awesome that "they" promote educational cartoons now to Addison's generation. Maybe that's the "fix" for the economy... bringing up a smart generation instead of "fighters" NOW-- i am NOT trying to get all crazy politic-y in the All About Addison blog- but think about it.. we grew up with cartoons that promoted such violence... not really anything educational at all. I hope and pray that Addison's generation will be able to solve problems with their brains more than their fists.
OK Back to the important subject! :)
Coloing isn't really Addison's thing...she prefers to "marker" instead. We have been very fortunate so far that her "markering" has only been on paper! She also loves her babies!! She is going to be such a great mommy one day... a princess mommy of course. Dress up is always super fun... or barbies! Afternoons in the car her request to me is usually "Mommy, can I text my name?" She knows how to text Addison on my phone and loves it. She can also use Jamey's phone really well...she goes through 3 or 4 screens to find the dice game on his phone!! (she calls it "blocks" lol) Addy is a GREAT singer... She catches on really quickly so she knows the words to a lot of different songs...even some of the ones I listen to! Addison currently loves watching Dora the Explorer, Olivia and her new favorite Team Umizoomi! TU is hilarious because Addison sings along and knows all of the little theme songs for the characters. She told us that "she is Geo, Daddy is Bot and I am Millie. (Google it if you dont have kids) Anyway, sometimes she only refers to us by our Team Umizoomi names so we just play along and sing our respective theme song... it's great fun!
We have had so much fun this summer with Addison. She is such a little fish and loves the water. Speaking of water- she's in there now washing her hands after she used the potty. WOW... it's was so hard to imagine that this day would ever get here, but now it's kind of sad because she really isn't a baby anymore! She confirmed that the other day when telling me on the way to school "Mommy, I'm a big kid now... I can swing really high and BABIES can not swing really high" I said yeah, but your still my baby! She said "no...mommy, I'm NOT a baby" hummmm What is it going to be like when she goes to school? EEK. Addy constantly keeps us on our feet and laughing... She is an absolutely amazing little girl... we are so blessed... Honestly there is no way in the world that we could have a better child! MAYBE she is a little bit spoiled.. .but I will paraphrase her daddy on that subject... we're just going to do what we do and let her husband deal with her one day.... LOOK OUT BOYS!!! :)
The shirt says it all!!
This little princess folds clothes... in heels!!
Such a big girl!! Ready for school!
So sweet....
Even when she pouts! :)
Love this laugh!
