Addison's 18 months!

We have a 1 1/2 year old!!! Addison is becoming more and more of her own little person each and every day. She is one independent little girl who knows what she wants. This is a good and bad thing... We have been trying to take advantage of each "warm" day left before it is too cold to go to the park... Grammy & Pappy came out to visit for my birthday and spoiled Addie with their love and attention. She got quite accustomed to her daily Starbucks run- thanks Mom and Dad for helping her to develop expensive taste at such a young age! I know we're in trouble with this one because she is OBSESSED with shoes and purses. She continues to learn new words daily, is a pro at feeding herself with a spoon, loves music and dancing, looking at books, "talking" on the phone, and pushing her dolly around in her stroller. She has fallen in love with Elmo, not by watching TV, but from seeing him on her diapers. She is a true joy and we are so blessed to have her little sparkle in our lives daily. We are about to embark on "time outs" so wish us luck!

Addie was delighted to have Grammy & Pappy out here visiting... She loves being the center of attention, so loved every moment of it. Mere and Natalie also came down for a weekend, which was such a blast. If only you didn't move to Mich... Addie wasn't so sure about having to share her turf, toys, and Mom with Natalie... I have to work on this! She is quite protective of me around other kids :)

(I had this saved since Nov. 17 but never got around to sorting out the pictures, so here we are... a few weeks late!)
