Eating, Slides, Potato Heads, Guitar Hero, and More!

(posted by CJ & Kathy) Soooo, here's the latest, since we haven't really updated anything since Christmas.

Addi is growing a foot a day and she seems to be learning or doing something new each day. First of all, she loves driving her new car she got for Christmas. She drives it in the cul-de-sac in front of our house and rides her ATV in the house. She's quite the little driver.

As for talking, she is saying so many new things its hard to keep up. She's very, very clear in everything she says too. Her new thing is to tell people, "I'm the baby," in case they don't realize. She also loves the number two. We will count with her 1-10, then she will count back with us, "two, two, two, two, two..." Her please and thank you is awesome as well, and she loves reading her books out loud to us. We pretty much know every Dr. Suess book by heart. She's also saying her very own little prayer each night.

Speaking of words, a new favorite is "E-tar." This is her version of "guitar." She loves dancing while we play Guitar Hero and really loves when we let her hold the guitar herself.

Playgrounds remain a hit. She isn't afraid of the slides anymore and can get around pretty much all the equipment without much help. She will slide on a slide, run over to be pushed on the swing, then slide, then swing, and so on. A decent sized tantrum follows when we finally have to make her stop playing.

Her Mrs. Potato Head is also a big hit. She loves changing out the parts and also loves wearing them herself. She especially loves putting the pieces on Mommy and Daddy.

And finally, just today, she ate her first meal all by herself. I simply put the food down in front of her and she used a fork and a spoon to eat the whole thing. She finished her plate, drank her juice, and even said thank you. She rules.

Thanks to everyone that loves her and loves us. We wish we could see you all more and share our little angel with you. Keep in touch!
