These pictures really speak for themselves. (Okay - maybe not. I have to ask if any of the rest of the family thinks she looks like Ethan here with her hair pulled back in the second picture?)

Did I Mention Addy Likes Watermelon?

Fun in the Sun
Over the last week or so we finally got some nice weather - and I mean NICE! 90 degrees this weekend.
Addy has a water table (or pool) she likes to play in (climb in and soak).
We were having so much fun we also got a little pool that broke less then 24 hours after we got it. Don't you hate it when you go cheap and you get exactly what you pay for??
Here is Addy decked out in Scott's poker outfit of backward hat and glasses, she is great at bluffing.
All in!

Addy Update
Addy has really been growing and changing in the last few weeks, it has been a true blessing to watch her. Thought I might share a few of my favorite things:
Addy loves to direct you - she will pat the couch or the floor and tell you in a very direct manner "sit down". We are trying to help her add on a "please".
When putting clothes on her she can say "sh*t" - which means shirt and when you say pants, she always responds "me". So it goes like this:
Jessica: "socks"
Addy: "sos"
Jessica: "shirt"
Addy: "sh*t"
Jessica: "pants"
Addy: "me"
Addy came home Wednesday night with a new favorite saying "I don't like it". She uses it ALL the time. Even when she is excited and wants it she says "I don't like it."
Addy's dancing has evolved from arms swinging and knee bending to stomping. That's right, it is like we have a little hillbilly on our hands. She really stomps her foot when music starts.
Elmo! Elmo! Elmo! All of a sudden this kid can't think of anything but Elmo.
Addy loves to play nigh-nigh. This is a highly evolved game that involves you laying down and closing your eyes and then getting hit and screamed at by Addy - which is her lovely wake up call. She loves it and laughs herself silly each time she pounds on you! Then she immediately orders you back to nigh-nigh so she can hit you and scream at you again. So fun!
If there was one food that is Addy's favorite (you'd think it was everything because the girl won't share to save her life and god help the poor dogs, if they come within 2 feet of her when she has food she yells "no-no-no" at them and tries to kick them away) it is WATERMELON! The girl can eat an entire one on her own, if you don't replenish quickly enough once the pink is gone on her piece, she'll just start hacking into the green.
Addy is miss independent and will fight you every step of the way if you try to help. Of course, she'll then say "help" and look at you like you are so mean for not helping when she is done trying to do it herself.
Addy loves to help water the plants and her feet and your feet. She loves to help feed the dogs and always blows on the food and tells the puppies "is hot". She is an ace at emptying the dishwasher and loves to carry laundry all over the house.
Last week Addy fell out of her crib in the middle of the night! We were freaking out. I was worried she'd have to go to a toddler bed but it hasn't happened since. I think she really did fall and wasn't attempting to climb out. She didn't enjoy the fall and so hopefully that won't be happening again.
Addy loves to get kisses and hugs before bed and is very generous with her affections all the time!
These are just some of the things we love about Addy Bear!

The Big Trip
Scott and I got a chance to run away to Vegas for a couple of nights last weekend. What a great time!!! We got to relax, enjoy great food, great drinks and plenty of time to spend with one another. It was perfect. (And freakin' hot - 116 degrees.)
Addy got to go on a trip of her own, an overnight stay with Grandma and Grandpa T. So much fun!
She got to hang out in the backyard:
She got to play with Grandma (blow this pic up and check out the joy on her face):
She helped Grandpa feed the birds and the squirrels:
She did a little posing and modeling:
She drew a couple of masterpieces:
And enjoyed a little corn on the cob while watching her Elmo video:
I think she had a pretty great trip! So, did Scott and I!! Thanks Mom and Dad for watching little bear!

Gracie's Birthday
Our special friend Gracie celebrated her 7th birthday this weekend. Addy had a special dinner just to celebrate with Gracie. Addy was so excited for Gracie to come over . . . she picked out her outfit and got all ready.
Then as soon as the kids arrived they hit the water table and promptly got soaked.
Every one needed new clothes. Gracie had to wear Addy's clothes and poor Gavin ended up in Addy's clothes too!
Regardless, we had a great celebration!

Door Guards
Thank goodness we have three specially-trained door guards. The puppies always like to sit on the back of the couch and see what is going on at the front door. Addy decided to join them for a little watch action.
We are safe and sound!

The Floater
So, I don't know if this is normal but Addy can't get enough of "floating" in the bathtub. She would spend hours laying in the tub like this if we let her. Frankly, it kind of freaks us out that she is so into it and just slides down into the tub - we have to keep the water pretty shallow and warn others of this strange behavior.
She'll start on one side of the tub:
Perhaps read a book, wash up, or play with her hair (which float out around her).
Then she'll sit up and flip to the other side of the tub (again and again):
Then she'll roll over and lay on her stomach and roll over to her back again.
I think she may have inherited her daddy's swim gene. :)

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa T.
It is no wonder Little loves to go see Grandpa and Grandma T. Look at all the fun that is involved . . .
Climbing on the couch all by herself:
A sock tug of war:
Bracelets to dress up in:
And bounce with Grandma:
She can't wait to hang out again!!

Dippin'
Fries and chicken nuggets from McDonald's are okay - but dipping them in sauce is the best. Addy loves to dip anything. She doesn't really eat much of the food, she just sucks off the sauce. Then pretty soon she dumps the food and just sticks her fingers in the sauce.
She'll chant "dip, dip, dip, dip . . . " Oh the little joys of life!

The Great Outdoors
Last weekend we spent some time enjoying the outdoors. We took a little hike and found a really fun place to play!
We hiked . . .
We played on the toys . . .
And we played in the dirt.
Can't beat a day like that!
