September 2014

Addison is growing up WAY TO QUICK!  I feel like she has gone from 2 to 14 in the matter of a month.  We had a good run with the twos, but I do feel like threes will be a different story!  She is so head strong and set in her ways.  She can freak out so quickly, its like someone flips a switch!  She still has her very cuddly, adorable moments, but she just seems ready for a fight!

Here is some info on Addy - 

Currently watching: Mickey Mouse continues to be a favorite.  We have started branching out to watch other Disney favorites such as Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Mulan & Cinderella.  We have completely gotten rid of the DVD player in the car which is really nice.  
While watching a show the other morning a family had to bring their dog to "camp" while the family went on vacation...the little girl didn't want to leave her dog and Addy started crying saying but the girl wants her doggie.  She is always very perceptive and sympathetic.  It kind of broke my hearth that Addy was upset over it!

Currently listening to: It has been such a monumental month!  Where I use to not listen to much of anything (b/c DVD player was on) we now listen to most pop channels!!  One day it dawned on Addison that she likes listening to the music I listen to.  Her new current obsession is "All about that Bass" by Meghan Trainor.  Now every time we get in the car she asks for the ‘bass bass’ song. This song is incredibly catchy!  She also likes the "Boom Clap" song and sadly "Drunk in Love".  Both Justin and my sis Shelly have given me the gold star on parenting for that last song.  I guess I need to be more careful of what she is listening to!

Currently thinking about: her birthday & Halloween!  I'm trying to plan her 3rd birthday party and I'm struggling so much with it.  I have ideas, but not enough time to implement half of them.  When we asked Addy what she wanted to be for Halloween, she said Cinderella.  My mom is currently working on her outfit, but we already have some Cinderella glass slippers (Target) and white gloves.  I think she will look beautiful!  

Currently trying to figure out: Addy's big girl bed!!! She has fallen out of it once since we've taken the side off.  It's like a little day bed.  Addy loves it, but I worry about her flopping all over the place and falling out again!  For the moment, we've put pillows at the side so if she falls out, it'll be on something soft.  So far so good with her staying in her bed for nap time/bedtime (knock on wood).

Currently looking forward to: FALL. Addison's birthday is coming up soon, followed by Halloween.  I'm looking forward to cooler days and hoping to find an apple orchard somewhere around here!  

Currently reading: God's Toddler Devotional.  Justin's parents got this devotional book for us to read with Addy and she is really liking it.  It has a short one page story for everyday of the year (although she turns to several pages per night) which we read as a family.  It's really adorable to see her getting into and be excited!

Currently making her happy: Addison was overjoyed the other day when she had two friends from school over.  They were all soo excited to see one another and played very well together.
