Look At This


Just look at her (note pose-belly and underwear peeking out)! She's 20 months and she still continues to amaze us. Mark and I were just saying that we're not sure what else can top the list. This list:

  • She's a girl (after two boys that is pretty exciting)
  • Perfect birth
  • Easy infant
  • Slept through the night in her crib at 6 months old (this is big for our family)
  • Genuinely sweet to all
  • Loves shoes
  • Puts her coat and hat away once inside herself (prompts others to do the same)
  • Cleans up toys
  • Helps unload the dishwasher
  • Brings her plate and utensils to the sink
  • Potty trained herself at 19 months old
  • Tears a sheet of tp for herself every time on the potty
  • Ditched the paci with little resistance
  • Selectively kisses vs leans in for one
  • Signs "I love you" (just like Logan did, all fingers up and pointer down)
  • Would take a bath and let you wash her with excitement at any time of day or night, everyday, twice a day if you so wished

Yet there are a few things I'd like her to work on:
  • Be more compliant with putting hair clips, bows, hair bands, etc. on
  • Grow some more hair
  • To not tell me "noh noa" when she doesn't want to do something when asked-as often
  • Follow me closer than a shadow everywhere I go-as often
  • For her to not make such a big deal about the dogs (aka woo woos) EVERY TIME she sees or hears them
  • To stop spitting at her brothers
  • Try to not be so bossy-we get bossed around by her all day
  • To never lose that joy she brings to us all day everyday.
We love you Addie Rian.
XOXO
