I've heard that with each child, you take less and less photos of them. You have less time to document their milestones. And quite honestly, less time to do their laundry! So, this post, is for the baby of the family. Baby number three, our sweet Addison. Affectionately known as Addi-boo, or Bam-Bam.
Addi is now 16 months old! These photos were taken right after Christmas. I knew that I needed to capture a few more with her wispy hair, because you know, by Spring, she'll have pig tails, right?! (I'm a Mom in denial.) Addi loves to play. She loves to climb. In fact, she's a very good climber! We may have a gymnast on our hands. Addi has mastered kicking a ball, playing peek-a-boo, pointing to her nose and her head, and will hold up one finger if you ask her old she is! (Well, sometimes she holds up the one finger on her nose, but she's getting it.) Addi naps like a pro. But only at Grandma's. . .hmmm. . .in fact, she climbs into her own toddler bed there, and just goes to sleep. Either my mother-in-law is a terrible liar, or Addi just likes to snooze there better than at home. She loves her bananas, has given up almost all baby snacks. Can eat a slice of pizza in one sitting, and did I mention she loves to THROW everything on the floor? Sure, some cereal, or apple bits. . .but breaking plates?! Yep. She's done that too. She has her Gong-Gong wrapped. He'll carry her all day - I repeat ALL DAY. She loves to take a shower, she loves to get pushed around in the car or doll stroller in the house (I know - toys have weight limits, but I swear it's strong enough!), can say "Up", "Mama", "Da-Da", "Gong-Gong", "ball", "buh-buh" (for Peyt), and "Woo" (for woof!). She loves to sing, tries to move her little fingers to Itsy Bitsy Spider, and knows how to use the remote, the cordless phone, and yes, she can even slide open an i-phone. She can comb her hair (well, what little she has), and is great at opening her mouth to get her teeth brushed. (WOO HOO - so opposite of the other two in this dept!) She loves to shut the microwave door after I put her milk in to be heated, loves to push the start button on the microwave, washer and dryer, and well, this 16 month old, feels like she's going on 3. . .so I thought I better get this down before I forget. I know there's so much to share Addi, but at least Mama was able to document some funny stuff for us to share when you get married, okay??
I love you Bam-Bam.
Oh, and we call her Bam-Bam because she like to carry stools, and pretty much anything she can get her arms around all the time. She pulls skirts off, and well, she's just sort of a rough! In fact her little friend Mia isscared petrified of her.
And Addi. . .not every doll sings and dances like Mickey Mouse, Pablo, Elmo, and Spider-Man. You love to have all of them going at once, we know. And you're getting that Backyardigan's dance down!! You've mastered raising those Arms to Mickey's "Shake your groove thang, shake your groove thang, yeah, yeah - show 'em how you do it now!" And baby, the toilet is not for splashing around in, okay?. . .accept the gates for now, because catching you four times in one day playing with toilet water, well, that's just gross. If you're wondering where I was when you got yourself into the mess, well. . .I was still learning that if you're missing and it's quiet, you're up to no good. I don't learn as fast as you do. . .but I'm gettin' there.
