My Not-So-Baby

The pictures below are from a couple months ago. I just can't get over how much Addi grows each day. Just a year ago, she was in diapers, using a paci and only said a few words.

Stop growing Toots! :(

This is when we were weening her off of pacis. She had snuck a paci and was sitting on it so I wouldn't take it away. A few minutes later....

...she was a happy camper.

Monkey See, Monkey Do.

Addi pulled out a Yoga mat today and said, "Im going to do the dog." {down dog}. She watches me do something one time and she doesn't forget {this could be good or bad}.

My Picasso

Addi is becoming quite the artist. Today she drew a picture of us. It might just look like scribbles but she is starting to create shapes and lines that look like people. She gets the big circle for the head and the straight lines for legs. It is amazing how much she learns each day.

My Wittle Cuddle Bug

Addi has been so affectionate lately. The other night we were eating dinner and she grabbed my hand and just kept eating. Tonight, we were laying in her bed watching a movie and she grabbed my hand and kept kissing it. She melts my heart everyday. Love her.

When Addi is with her Daddy...

I snuggle her Teddy and her blankies. (This is not a prop. I literally hold them like a child).

I miss my Tootsie Pop.

Like Mommy!

The other day, Addi was watching a show in her room and was completely distracted. So, like any other quick thinking mom, I decided a quick bath was in order.

I filled up the tub, propped up my computer on the side table and relaxed. I had the door cracked so I could hear her, of course! :)

About 15 minutes into my bath, Addi pushed the door open to see what I was doing. She said hi and went back to her room. I took about 5 more minutes, got out and got dressed.

I walked into her room to check on her and to my surprise, naked Addi had dumbed out one of her toy bins and had been filling up cups of water from her bathroom and filling the toy bin up. There was water everywhere! My first reaction was upset. But I quickly realized what she was doing: She saw mommy sitting in water, watching her show and she wanted to do the same. She looked at me with her big brown eyes and said, "Like Mommy!"

She is so smart and quick witted.

Sleeping Beauty

This past weekend, I was way more attached to Addi than I have been in a long time! I could not get enough of her! I am usually cleaning, organizing, doing projects, blogging, cooking, ect, on Saturdays and sometimes I don't give her enough attention. This Saturday and Sunday, I just wanted to be with Addi. We played, watch shows, ran errands, built a fort and had the BEST weekend together! Normally, when she takes her naps, I use the time to be productive. Saturday, I decided to sleep with her. Just snuggling her was the best.

This girl has me wrapped around her little finger. I am obsessed with her. She completes me.

I love my Addi.

Getting too smart!

This little nugget thinks that if she does that (see above picture) that I can not get by her. She was holding me hostage.

And the blue head band? She calls her it her princess band.

I love her.
