Everyday with Addison

Addie is getting be be quite the adventurous little girl. It seems like every other day I am finding her in a new place or doing something new. While I cook dinner Addie loves to explore the kitchen cabinets and drawers, here she is in the pots and pans cabinet playing hide and seek.

I also love the new expressions that I am getting from Addie. Addie was getting quite impatient with not being able to see and hold the camera.

Addie loves bracelets. She will put the bracelets on her arm and walks around with them on her arm or in her mouth.

She also loves Aaron's trick sticks and will walk around using them like a cane. Here is the first time using both the stick and bracelets at the same time. When she put the stick on the ground to walk around her bracelets stared to fall off, so she picked the stick back up but the bracelets were still on the stick so she put the stick back down and one bracelet fell off. Addie was like oh no and proceeded to pick up the bracelet off the ground while loosing the other bracelets onto the ground. She then proceeded to pick the the bracelets up one by one. After doing this process couple of times she finally figured how to hold all the bracelets in one hand and the stick in the other. It is the cutest thing to watch her little mind figure things out.

Here is my mom with Addison and Brayden (new cousin). Addie loves to hold and give her little cousin Brayden hugs and kisses. Addie loves him so much that when she was holding Brayden he started to cry so my Mom took him out of her arms to bounce him, Addie immediately grabbed Brayden around his tummy and guide him back to her lap. In order to let both Brayden and Addie be happy I had to bribe her with snacks and with a little bit of tears she finally allow my Mom to take him off her lap.

Each night while undressing Addie to get her into her pj's Aaron finds new ways to have fun with Addie. So one night Aaron took her sock off with his teeth and they decided to have a tug a war with it in there mouths.

Since about January we have been looking for a hiking backpack for Addie so we could go hiking, since we were not having any luck with finding a used one in Salt Lake I had my sister Amy look down in Houston to find us one there. When we got it Aaron and Addie had to try it out. Addie loves it so much that when uwe took her out she starts climbing into it again, we finally just had to deal with some tears and put the pack away. We are extremely excited to use it the beginning of July. Thank You Amy!

It is truly amazing what kids learn by just their parents example. Aaron and I love using our head phones on our cell phones so we can can talk and do other things at the same time. Addie one day surprised us by putting the ear phones into her ears and started to dance when she heard Aaron's phone playing music.

Her she is in the middle of dancing.

Aaron put the phone down to take a picture and Addie wanted her dad to hold the phone and dance with her. This is her "what are you doing Dad" face.

She is such a cutie!
