I'm 18 Months Old!!

I'm close this month, only a few days off of her actual monthly birthday. We spent her 1 and 1/2 year birthday together in the afternoon. We had our pediatrician visit, then hit up the mall, and followed up with a visit to Grandma's. We can always count on fun times and animals at Grandma's house!

Addison is just amazing. She is such a happy, fun little girl. She lights up our lives. You can truly see the change in her personality recently. She understands words so much more. She is also beginning to understand the ability to communicate affection. You can ask her for a hug and a kiss and she will gleefully oblige. If she falls, a hug and a kiss make her feel better. And at night, she makes her rounds before bed dishing out love to anyone around.

She is running all over and you can tell she is pleased that the weather is nice. She would be outside all of the time if it was up to her. She walks around talking to the trees, birds, dogs, toys, and anything else she sees. It melts me to see her love for nature and animals. When playing outside she loves to throw a ball back and forth. She cracks up laughing and runs to retrieve the ball. Of course, she walks most of the way back to you before throwing it towards you a foot or so away. She also enjoys just walking around picking up leaves and rocks. She collects them and brings them over to share her new found treasures with Mommy and Daddy.

My life is amazing. I adore this little girl. The last 18 months have flown by, but yet so full at the same time.
