A day at the Park!

Mitch and I took Addie Blaire to the park a week ago and had so much fun spending the afternoon with her enjoying every second of watching her explore. It seems like we have been on the go for so many weeks lately and it was just nice to get to enjoy each other's company for the day. Here is a little update on some of Addie Blaire's latest milestones:

I can't explain how much I have enjoyed playing with her lately, she is such a fun little girl and has so much personality. I actually am having a hard time leaving her even for the day. I can't even really leave her for the night right now either. I don't know what it is but I just don't like being away from her. She is fine with it I'm sure, it's just me that has an issue with it! As for her talking, she is saying everything!! I do mean everything that Mitch and I do. She now likes to roll over in the morning in the bed with us and she says "come on Mommy and Daddy and Zoe" she wants us to get up and go watch cartoons with her. She loves to say that "she scares me" she will run off and come back and I will scream of course to play along. She also does lots of dances. I have taught her some moves to do to "5monkeys jumping in a bed" and she bounces around doing them. I am still trying to get that one on video! She still weighs 27 lbs. I guess that is due in part to the stomach virus that she got along with myself, mitch and my mom. She got sick one morning and the next day all of us had it! I never realized how tough it would be for 3 sick adults to take care of one little girl. I think it took me 30 minutes to make her toast that morning. Then she got sick this last week with an ear infection. I always know when that is coming because she seems to be more whiny and needy at that time. Sure enough I took her into the doctor and she had an ear infection. She has finally started to run. She says"look at me I runnin." She finally realized she could bend her knees and that has helped to make it more possible to get around a little faster. I have taught her to count to 6 in Spanish and 12 in English. I am working on a few more each week. Janice has taught her what street she lives on and she can even sing "doe ray me." I thought I heard her say it one night and I just said "fa so" and she looked at me and said "la te doe" I laughed so hard because that was something I had no idea she even knew. Mitch and I were just talking tonight about how lucky we are to have her in our lives and I can't imagine what we did before her. Giving Daddy some lovin!
