"Doggies" the word

Doggie is Addisons first official word! She has actually been saying it for quite awhile now, but I wanted to make sure that I was hearing it correctly before I made it official. Anytime she see's a dog, of any type, size or color, she will point and yell "Doggie!" She can also point out a doggie in any of her books or on anything we see at the store. The other day she pulled out 4 ads from the paper that all had doggie's on them. She also says:Dada, Daddy, Doggie and she tries to say duck. I am noticing a trend in the "D" words. She hasnt quite mastered Mommy yet, but I am not giving up hope yet. She also is pretty close to saying kitty (itty). There is a kitty across the street that comes over every time we open the front door. She gets so excited and loves to pet the cat. She is such an animal lover!

She has also mastered some good listening skills! She can do pretty much anything I tell her to do. Here are a few things she listens and answers too:
-when I ask her for a kiss or hug she will give me one
-when you ask her where her baby doll is she will look around the house for it- same with her stuffed animal "Piggy" she then proceeds to kiss them everytime
-when I say lets take the doggies out she runs to the back door
-when I tell her to give them a "treat" she goes and gets the box of dog treats
-when its "Bye bye" time she goes to the door
-when I say "Milk" she will go to the fridge
-when I say lets brush your teeth she opens her mouth big and wide and goes "Aaaahhhhhh" all the way to the bathroom (this one is hilarious!)
-when we say "night night" she goes in her room
There are also a few other things, but she is picking up on Key words that I try to use frequently so she will pick up on them. She is also living up to her nickname "Addy-tude". She has recently started throwing spouts of temper tantrums, so now the time has come to teach her rules and set boundaries. And I thought getting her to take a nap was hard! Sometimes I wonder where my sweet little innocent baby went...

Random Cute Kiddo Post!

I am not ashamed to admit I have One Cute little Girl! I am constantly taking pictures of her and all her cute-ness so I just thought I would share a few. She makes me smile so hopefully these will make you smile too :)

Weekend trip to Savannah!

So after Chad worked 18 days straight, they finally allowed him to have a 3 day weekend. We decided to do something Fun for ourselves since the past couple of weeks have been very long and rough. We decided to go to Savannah since Chad and I had both wanted to go for sometime. Since Chad had off on Friday, we got up pretty early and made the trip up to Savannah. It only took us 1.5 hours so we could have easily made a day trip out of it, but we didnt want to be rushed and I wasnt sure how well Addison would do walking around the whole day, so we decided to stay the night Friday and leave sometime Saturday. We did a lot of walking around on Friday, doing all the "touristy" stuff. Addison did amazing. She just sat in her stroller the whole time while we walked around without making a sound. We had a lot of fun, but it was just VERY Hot! Here are a few pictures...One main attraction we wanted to visit while in Savannah was Paula Deen's restaurant "Lady and Sons". I am a huge fan of hers and really, really wanted to go. Secretly, I know Chad really wanted to go too! To get reservations we had to get up really early Saturday morning. They didnt open till 11am, but they started to take reservations at 9:30. We got there at about 8:45 and there was already a line about a block and a half long! And it only got longer. So we waited in line for 45 minutes. Addison was good the whole time we were standing there. After waiting we got reservations for 11. So we ate lunch there and had a really good time! It was worth waiting in line for and I am really glad we went! It sure was an experience, and as a souvenir I got a shirt that reads "Hey Y'all!" :)

Chad And Addison patiently waiting in line...Addison trying some of Paula Deens Banana Pudding! It was nice to finally have some Family Time again!

Tasty Adventures!

So over the past couple weeks I have been trying to let Addison be more independant. More so during meal time. We all know Addison is a GREAT eater, so I have been introducing new foods and letting her try to eat by herself with some utensils. That is a comedy! Fingers are much more fun and useful. So I have been letting her explore and have fun during meals. I mostly feed her dinner, but when It came time for "dessert" I kinda tossed her the bone to see what she would do with it. A mess was no concern for me since she usually gets a bath right after dinner, Plus making a mess is half the fun! Since Chad worked late all week I thought it was a perfect time for her to just go at it. She made lots of messes, but they made for some great pictures! Here are a few pictures over the course of last week.

I had a left over thing of bananas that is more "baby food" but I wanted to use it up. She still liked it! Notice the spoon laying right next to her...but Nope! Fingers are Way better!

Lets try it with the spoon! Good Girl!Dinner is sooo Fun Mom!Its Banana Pudding tonight...she started off with the spoon...And took a good bite....But it didnt last longHer empty bowl! And still trying to scrape the rest out!Ever seen anyone get so Excited over a Banana?!
