April 2014 - 2 1/2 Years Old!!

This little girl is growing up right before our eyes!  She seems so grown up most days and it's crazy to watch her learn new things and see how quickly she absorbs them.  Right now Addison seems hugely interested in the human body.  She is pretty fascinated with her boobs and makes comments like, "Daddy, those are your boobs...my boobs are in my shirt".  She recently asked if she could touch mine which I kindly replied no, I don't think so.  P.S. this didn't stop her from touching them.  She also likes looking at herself in the mirror and making silly faces.  She continues to talk so much and everyday when I pick her up from school there is a check box next to "talkative" and then it is circled.  The teachers have said if she's quiet, they know something is up!
I decided to try and ask Addison a series of questions to see how she'd answer them.  I asked her these questions over the course of a few days because she couldn't focus long enough to answer them all in one sitting!!  I wanted to add my commentary through out so I don't forget what she was like at this age!

What is your name? Addison (She sometimes wills say Addy Grace or Addison Crooks)

What is your favorite color? Pink (This child LOVES pink!  Pink shoes, pink clothes, pink toys, pink anything)

What is your favorite toy? She just stared at me like I was crazy.  I'm not sure she actually has a favorite toy though, she kind of rotates through which stuffed animal is her #1.  We have puppy, big teddy, pink teddy, tiny teddy, red teddy and Copper that seem to be in the rotation currently.  However, she sleeps with 20 stuffed animals and knows when one is missing!!

What is your favorite fruit? Again, blank stare.  Right now she is on a pineapple kick.  I am hoping with the summer months rolling in she'll be eating way more fruit then usual!

What is your favorite TV show? Rio (We have been watching the movie Rio on repeat lately.  She is obsessed with it and as luck may have it, Rio 2 recently came out so we plan on taking Addy to see it as her first movie in the theater.)

What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch?  Her answer was simple: Food.

What is your favorite outfit?  She didn't answer, but she tries to wear her pink Sofia outfit as much as possible!  

What is your favorite game?  No answer from Addy and the only thing I could think of was catch!  She loves to pretty much play catch with anything.

What is your favorite snack? graham crackers.  She looks so cute dipping her little graham crackers in her milk cup.

What is your favorite animal? Dog.

What is your favorite book? She quickly replied, Where the wild things are!! Then just as quickly changed her answer to fishy book.  The fishy book is actually called Rainbow Fish and we pretty much read it every night.

Who is your best friend? Gannon (I think it was because I asked her while he was sitting next to her...when I asked her later she said, my daddy)

What is your favorite thing to do outside?  Play.  Plain & simple!

What is your favorite holiday?  She didn't reply but I don't think she actually knows what that means!  She just told us the other day that the Easter bunny is coming to visit Santa....soooo who knows what's going on in that brain of hers!

What do you like to take to bed with you at night?  She replied "my daddy".  I guess in her defense, he does come in to her bedroom every night to put her to bed!

What do you want to be when you grow up? Again, no answer

Where do you want to go on vacation? In a very whiny tone, I want to go on vacation.

Who do you want to come over for a play date?  Jacob & Emily...these are two kids that are in her class.  She talks about them non-stop!

Who do you love? Everyone (Awwww)

What’s your favorite drink? Chocolate Milk

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the month!
