Two Years Post!

I just realized I never did a two year post for 'baby' Addison!
I have taken her picture every month on her birthday and every week her first year!  I cannot believe she is TWO!!  She had her two year well check a few weeks ago and everything is perfect.  This girl is still 95% in height and, surprisingly, she has made it to 75% in weight.  For a long time, she was only between 10-20% weight.

This girl is so stinkin smart!  I may be a bit biased, but I'm serious!  She knows all her colors, can recognize and tell me about a circle, square, heart, moon and star shape.  On a good day, she can count to three or four, but likes to skip around and just name all the numbers she knows.  She can tell you that she is TWO!  She is talking - a lot!  Everything has a name now!  If she doesn't know what something is called, she holds it up and says, "This?"  She is a little sponge!  We have conversations now!  I love it! 

Every night, we read books.  She loves to read!  After each book, she says, "One more, please?"  We normally read four or five books each night before bed.  She loves to have her toenails painted.  We always paint nails here.  Even her babies have painted nails now.

She is such a good girl.  We have been going to the pool everyday.  When they blow the whistle for a safety break, she yells, "Out!"  Then immediately asks for a snack.  We have a good routine each day with pool, naps and lots os playing.

I just love this girl!  I cannot wait to see what else she learns this summer!  We have lots of fun things planned!

Fun Filled Weekend!

This weekend, we went to Nacogdoches to visit Kasey!

Thursday night, they had the Taste of Nacogdoches.  We had this in Arlington and also in The Woodlands!  All of the restaurants in Nac had booths and handed out awesome food!


 On Friday morning, we slept in and went for breakfast at the donut shop!  Addison was in heaven, most of the time, we try to have good, healthy breakfasts.

 Then, we headed into Lufkin to go to the zoo!



 The Lufkin Zoo has tame peacocks that roam all over the whole zoo.  They are gorgeous!

Addison was in awe of the big feathers!
 At the end of the day, a few peacocks wanted Addison's snack!

 Friday night, Kasey and I went out with a few of her friends.  This weekend was the Nacogdoches Blueberry Festival.  We each had a yummy blueberry drink.

 Saturday morning was the Running of The Blueberries 5K!



 It was a semi-trail run and the weather was perfect!



 I did not PR, but I did pretty good for a trail run!





I decided to stay in Nac, one more night, for the John Michael Montgomery concert!

 We had a great time singing and dancing!!!

 Kasey's friend had the hook up and we got in VIP!



 The highlight of the evening was actually getting to MEET JMM!!

 How good do we look with our new BFF?

 I had him sign my new John Michael Montgomery Koozie!

So fun!

On Sunday, we lounged around for awhile, then met Mom, Dad and Addison half way so I could get home.

I love it and I am looking forward to the next time we get to go to Nac!  Thanks, Kasey!

Terrific Two!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADDISON!! 
Last weekend, my baby Addison turned TWO!

This little girl is so much fun!   She is all girl - loves her barbies and babies more than anything!

 
Aunt Kasey came in town to celebrate, too!

When it came time for the cake, she wasn't afraid of the candle, but couldn't quite blow it out.

How cute is she?!?

Mom and dad got her a new sprinkler!  She loves it, but I think, maybe, Layla loves it more!


 This year, I wasn't going to do anything big for her birthday.  My friend, Kaci, offered for us to have a small party at her pool!  It was so perfect!


While none of the adults got in the pool, the kids (and I) had a blast!


I love these pictures!  I think Addison looks like such a big kid!


OMG.  This is my favorite picture!!













It was a wonderful celebration!  I am so grateful for friends and family for coming to love on sweet Baby A!
