Addison amazes me and makes me smile every single day, she truly is a special girl. I cannot believe how much she has grown up, even in the last month. I remember when she could only say Mommy & Daddy (and not very well, I might add). Addison has so many words now, she says (and they are so clear): Mommy, Daddy, Papa, Mama (Grandma), Abbie, puppy, baby, monkey, mouse, bird, kitty cat, star, moon, cheese, milk, bottle, shoes, up, down, night night, Auntie, Uncle, ball, bubble, and I am sure there are so many more I am forgetting. No only does she have a great vocabulary, but when she looks and points and something, Brian and I tell her what it is and she immediately repeats it!
Addison pays very close attention to what Brian and I do & our routines. Before we leave the house we give Abbie a few treats and put her in her crate. Well, Addison picked up on that and has followed suit. When we are ready to go, Addison goes around the house calling "Abbie, Abbie" or "Puppy, Puppy", grabs a few treats from either Brian or I, feeds them to Abbie and promptly runs over to the crate and ushers Abbie in....she hasn't quit figured out how to lock the crate yet but I am sure she'll have that mastered before too long.
We think Addison is going to be a great big sister and a great helper to mommy when the baby arrives, as Addison has proved to be very motherly lately. It was so funny, when we were in Portland and went to the beach with our friends, Addison kept trailing behind Hazel (who is only 1 month younger than Addison) and constantly saying "baby" and trying to feed Hazel her bottle, or give Hazel her pacifier. Lately, Addison carries her baby around and is always putting her "to bed" by putting her under the blanket and patting her. She is also always trying to feed her baby and stuffed animals from her sippy cup.
Just last week, I decided that I should check and see if Addison was getting anymore teeth, since she has been having a really runny nose. To my surprise, when I stuck my finger in her mouth, she has 4 molers that have mostly come in. Poor girl, when her teeth come in they decide to come in all at once! Speaking of teeth, Addison has this cute little thing that she does when you tell her to "show me your smile", she gives you the biggest, cutest, teethy grin that shows off her dimple! What a cutie :)
