Addy Grace the Fancy Face, A Toddler NOW!!- June 29, 2008

It happened today. I took my first steps. Istood up in the middle of the room and took two steps. Now I don't really see what all the hoopla is about. I cruise around all the time and use chairs and toys to push myself around. I have shifted from one toy to another without holding on, but itoday I was standing in the middle of my playroom and took a two steps. Mama was really excited and Grammy saw it too. My steps came at 12:18pm.

Love you , Baby Addyson

Swimming Makes Me Scream!!! YIPPEE!!

I just love to swim. I went swimming everyday this week!! I had two swim parties and went to the sprayground twice!! Super fun!! Even though I swim a lot I am still really pale thanks for all of my sun screen.

See me wearing my UCF hat and sunglasses to keep the sun off my face and keep my skin soft and wrinkle free!

I got a new floaty for when my friends come to swim with me and it is a car. The horn actually honks. Mama says I look like the Flintstones the way my feet propel my car! See me with Mama and Dada. I like to peek out the window of my car.

Love you, Baby Addyson

Addyson and Aaron

I made a new friend this weekend. His name is Aaron and he is almost three years old. He and his brother, Landon (6 months), came over to my swim party this weekend. He and I went for a ride on my plasma car. His Dada and my Dada used to work together. We met one other time when I was only 2 months new.

Play Therapy?

Play Therapy!?! That is what my Mama's job is? That is what she studied and studied for years and years? I could teach her all about it for only about 100 thousand times what she paid for her graduate degrees. She took me to see a possible future office. Can you believe she would go to spend her day playing with other kids with special toys? Does that seem suspisious to you... you konw like cheating?

I also found out a secret about Dada's work. Did you know he works in a balloon factory!!!! I went to see him at work on Monday and there was a HUGE table in a BIG room full of BALLOONS!! It was full of pink stuffed animals and had a bathtub like mine at home filled with the same bath toys I have. There were cupcakes and pizza... I thought Dada had a hard job, but apparently, it is just a big party- Mama called it a shower? I did get to see Miss Karen, but Baby Abigail wasn't there. I thought is was rude because everyone told me the balloons were for her. I took some because who knows when Baby Abigail will need them...

See some pictures of me in a Play Therapy room.

Love you, Baby Addyson

Crime Scene Investigation

I was involved in a crime. However, at the time I was not aware a crime was underway....

I'm still not entirely sure, so Mama made me post this so that I'd realize the crime when I grow older. Mama did some serious investigating and evidence collection. I think she learned it from Dada. There are some things on this blog that are probably not for eyes of the "general viewing public". This is probably one, but some stories need to be told. Learn from my Mama.... plug your nose while you read on...

So, I was just laying in my crib after swimming. Mama thought I needed a nap, but I disagreed. I decided just to have quiet play time for a while. Apparently, Mama was downstairs right by the video monitor, but somethings happen when you "turn away only for a second"!! See my dirty hands.....

So here is the beforemath. I think those little brown finger prints look just like Baby Woobie's, but Baby Woobie thinks they look just like Big Woobie's, and Big Woobie pointed her finger at me!! Who knew woobies couldn't keep secrets. I mean they don't even have mouths!! But then, my bad.... they don't have fingers either!!

So, here I am... all "innocent" I still don't really see the crime. You might-(it's there behind me on my sheets, crib, aquarium and wall- but not on my face or near my mouth- that IS gross) hope you aren't grossed out. Luckily, Mama took the blame. She said she knew better than to put me down for a nap without shorts or bloomers on. I showed her I know how to take my diaper off 2 weeks ago!! How quickly she forgot.

Love you, Baby Addyson

Yo Yo Yo!! Yo Baby Yo!!

I decided Dada tries so hard I'd wear his hat for all of thirty seconds. He was so thrilled. Then I reminded him that hats are for dada's!! Sometimes he is a silly forgetful dada. I think Mama got a great action shot! Don't you?

Love you, Baby Addyson

Ba Ba Ba Ba Balloons!!

I love Balloons!! When I say love... I mean cheerish, adore, go absolutely wild over!! BALLOONS!! They come

in all kinds of shapes and colors. I saw my first one way back in December and fell in love. At Will's Valentine's Day party we all got one, but I crawled around with the whole bouquet while I played. Dada brought some home to me when I was sick June 3rd, but even the balloons weren't enough to take away all the pain of my sore throat. At my birthday party the balloons were my favorite part (well, the cake was pretty awesome too). I even got one shapped like a sun! I love that they float up in the sky. Don't worry I hold on tight so they only fly right up to my head. I've been known to steal them from old ladies birthday parties at Breadwinners, take them with me to Target and Mother's Day Out, and hold them while I eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner! I just love Balloons!!
Love you, Baby Addyson
