Fair Parade Fun!

Brit update: (simply because I am sooo behind!! pretend that she is just 12 months and not really 13 almost 14 ,okay!)
Little Brit is now the big 1!!! We are having so much fun with this very active little crazy person in the house. She is definitely full of spice and everything nice as well. She has learned that mommy will do just about anything for her and that can sometimes be a little difficult. She really wants to be where I am at all times and that isn't always possible although I am learning how to do many things while holding her that I wouldn't have thought possible! She is really coming along as far as her development but the major 2 we are still waiting on are walking and some toothies. She can stand on her own for a few seconds (13 months) and she is letting herself down but that is the extent of it for now. She pushes things around the house but not for long because she is sooo fast at crawling she gives up and goes back to that. She still just has her 2 little toothies on bottom but we are hoping to see some new ones any day. She is now weighing about 21 lbs. and I actually forgot her height but she was in the 50% percentile on both. She is drinking some from a sippy cup but still prefers the good ole bottle. She is now on whole milk and seems to really enjoy it. She eats like a little piggie!! She loves food and will eat anything (spinach and asparagus) that I put in front of her. She actually is eating chicken and hot dogs, she definitely doesn't let those two little teeth stop her, ohhh no! She is still saying words occasionally. She says momma and daddy some and Addddd quite a bit lately. Her favorite phrase is "hey" thought. My mom has started to call her the "Fonz" from that happy days show now cause she just look at everyone and say "hey". She is in love with her new chair, which there are pictures of coming up. She sits in it all the time and she loves her little dog Zoe, maybe more than Zoe loves her right now. She likes all animals and she really loves it outside. She is still warming up to other people she is not used to which we are really working on because it makes it a little tough in the church nursery and with babysitters but I am sure with age that will get a little easier. She really is so much fun and the best part is seeing the girls finally start to play with one another whether it be ball or Brit just bugging big sis while she is playing I know these girls are going to have a special bond that is unlike any other and I can't wait to share in that with them!
We took Brit to her second parade this year (her first she was 2 weeks old at) and we got to watch big sis in the parade. This is her pointing to big sis as she rode by! sooo sweet to see her get that excited.

Addie Blaire got to ride on the K4 float for school and she had such a good time on there with all her friends and teachers. She is such a big girl she rode without mom or dad even!! Kinda sad about that but much better not having the pressure of being on the float.



After the parade we headed over along with the rest of the town to the fair. Addie Blaire had all her friends there so she had a blast!! It was fun I admit seeing so many friends from town and letting the kids just run wild and have fun. One thing that is great about a small town is the feel of the fair, you can't explain it but if you are from a small town like I am I am guessing you have those memories like mine that stick with you for years to come.

Brit and I did a lot of watching but she still had alot of fun. Mitch and Addie took turns taking some folks out on the bumper cars.

This was the cutest thing they had there and Addie Blaire did it several times but it was a little fun house with all kinds of cool stuff. This is her trying to cross the moving steps...

coming out at the top and riding the sliding floor around the outside...

and coming through the rotating floor. I have to admit I wanted to give it a try.

Miss Brit Brit just because!

Brit getting her first kiss!! We were at a party and I sat her down for a second and next thing I know she was getting some major sugar from the doggie. Saying "Hey" to her new friend. She looks like she is doing some major flirting if you ask me!! You go girl, but he does have a twin so it could get a little confusing down the road.


Addie Blaire got to go on a hayride to find her very own pumpkin!!

Getting some sugar from Aunt Bran!
