December 2014

It seems like the month has gone quickly with Christmas rapidly approaching.  Addison is excited for Santa to visit her house but only if she doesn't have to see him.  We were going to take her to see Santa with friends, but she just seems so scared, so we decided not to.  We talk about how happy and friendly Santa is, but when push comes to shove, she just doesn't buy it.  Hopefully one of these years I can get a picture with her & Santa!
Addison got to go see Frozen on Ice with Grandma.  My mom bought tickets for the 2 of them and she said they had a great time.  Addison was glued to her lap and was in awe of it all.  I had purchased a Frozen shirt for her to wear and my mom bought her a Frozen "coffee mug", so she was in heaven!
Addison, Shelly & I attempted to make flour hand made ornaments one day.  Shelly kind of got roped into the whole ordeal and it was sooo messy, but Addy seemed to have fun.  The next day I let her paint them and then we hung them on the tree.
We have our Elf on Shelf up in the house, which sometimes "works" and other times doesn't.  His name is Buttons and Addy will quickly respond if we say, "Buttons is watching".  Other times she'll say, I don't care if Santa comes.
I'm super excited for Christmas day to see how Addison likes everything from Santa.  I think she'll be one happy little girl!  We will be staying in NC this year, but we are lucky enough to have Justin's parents headed down the day after Christmas.  I feel like Addy won't know what hit her with ALL the stuff the grandmas have bought her!!

Addy conversations:
While I was rushing around to get ready one morning, I was saying Addy we are running late, come on!!
Addy: RELAX MOM
Me: ummmmm

On a morning when Addy wasn't feeling well and it sounded like she had laryngitis
Addy: My voice sounds funny (while giggling)

One morning when we saw a large Menorah on TV:
Addy: Those candles are missing it's cake!!

Addy: (to Justin) You're the Prince
Justin: No, I'm the King
Addy: No Gannon is the King...no wait Guppy is the King!!

We had friends over and one of them threw a soccer ball at Shelly
Addy: DON'T HURT MY SHELLY, SHE'S DELICATE!!

One night when Addy was supposed to be going to bed, but was crying instead
Me: What's wrong
Addy: The red bear is looking at me
Me:
Addy: Please move him
Me: Alright.....

One night when Addy was talking in her sleep
Addy: I can help Guppy, I can help Guppy!

After pouring Addy a bowl of goldfish and handing to her
Addy: You're too good to me

November 2014

I'm a few weeks behind on my monthly updates, so I'll make it short & sweet.  I think Addison has FINALLY decided she wants to use the potty!  She has been in undies 95% of the time during the day and still wears a diaper at night.  We are doing great with peeing on the potty, but having some issues with the other part.  She still wants a diaper for that which I find bizarre.
Halloween was a success...Addy dressed up as Cinderella and had a great time trick-or-treating with friends.  She was a trooper and wore her high heels the whole night out!  We carved our pumpkin a few nights before the holiday and she enjoyed that as well.
We hit up the Christmas parade one weekend with a bunch of friends.  Addy enjoyed everything, but got tired before it was over, so we headed home before seeing Santa at the end.
Lately, Addison has been just singing her little heart out...I can't wait til she opens up her Frozen Boombox at Christmas!  An amplified microphone will surely be fun for all!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at home and are getting geared up for Christmas.  Addison helped put up the Christmas tree, outdoor lights and stockings.  She is so excited for Santa, but still says she doesn't want to take a picture with him.
