I'm 21 Months Old!

21 months ago my little buggy girl was born! I try and look back each month and recall all of the fun things Addison did each month. This month I am consumed by fun times, but also by how big and smart this girl is! She is really turning into a little girl. It's only during our bedtime ritual that I get to snuggle her now and feel as though she is still a baby. Her head still fits perfectly on my shoulder, but her arms and legs drape so long I can't help but realize how much she has grown. I often hold her like a baby and ask "Remember when you were small?" while rocking her from side to side. She just laughs and giggles at me. Occassionally if it's late and night she'll let me snuggle her in the cradle position, other than that she wants to go, go, go! Dare I think that I may be ready for another? Not quite yet...

Our mornings are filled with breakfast, dressing, and hair brushing. All of which are marathon events excet breakfast, that is only marathon style on the weekends. She never stops eating! It seems like she constintly walks over to her highchair saying "Uppa". She has a particular liking to cereal in the morning. She'll eat whatever I give her, which is generally something boring, whole grain, and low sugar. It's funny to watch her attempt to fish out all of the pieces in the milk with her spoon. She also had soup for the first time this month, that was comedic as well!

As usual, each day she gets excited to put on her shoes (and mine) and go outside. Running around and playing on her slide are some favorite activities this month. She also jumped for the first time (both feet off the ground!). Inside or out she enjoys pushing her baby stroller or shopping cart. On occassion my heels fall victim to one of these toys. Roger seems to trip on them most often at night! LOL! I'm already trying to figure out where the heck a play kitchen will fit in our house!

Her words have advanced more, and she seems to have words that only she knows what they mean.

Some new ones:

• "Tank Tu" Addie's version of Thank you. She only says when prompted.



• "Muckkkk" Addie's version of Milk.

Until next month....
