Addison is 2!!!

My baby girl is two years old. It makes me tear up just typing that sentence. Addison was a very tough baby but I still never wanted to see it go by so quickly. The older Addison gets the calmer and more pleasant she is becoming. Her talking is a bit behind for 2 years old but she is making good progress. My favorite words are "Yoshi" (here it is) and Mick-me (Mickey). She has learned to ask for help and has pretty decent manners, using please and thank you regularly. She will still scream to get our attention if she doesn't know how to say the words she is needing.

Addison for the most part knows her colors. She knows 8-10 shapes and numbers 1-10. She likes to color, play with stickers and play dough. Addison LOVES gymnastics open gym and swimming. She has moved into her big girl class and is improving weekly. I love my little toddler athlete.

Addison's eating has improved. She is liking pastas and meats the most. She likes some sweets and pretty much anything in a liquid form. Addison weights about 25lbs and is 32 inches. She is growing into a real kid. Slow down peanut!

For Addison's birthday we went to a movie in the park the night before. Alexa told the DJ it was her sisters birthday. The DJ announced it and sang to her. She loved the attention. Kristen, Julia and Emily brought her presents and cupcakes. On Addison's birthday we took her to the zoo to ride the ZooFari and the petting zoo. Addison had a great time. We were told the sheep do not eat from human hands. For some reason they chose to eat from Addison's. It was really special. After lunch we did cake and presents. Addison did not like having icing on her hands but did like the attention. She was excited about her presents and most excited about the balloons. In the evening the girls and I went to Legoland. We rode all of Addison's favorite rides and visited the aquarium. 

Looking forward we have Addison's annual allergy tests. We have been praying hard for her to overcome her peanut allergy. Addison will also be starting preschool next month (only 2 mornings a week). We also have to tackle potty training. I keep putting it off but plan on starting sometime this month.

We love you Addison Alena!
