I forgot about these pictures!

Two weekends ago, we went to Fort Smith for Grandmother Yates' birthday dinner. We met Justin and Tarah at Chuck E. Cheese for Addie to play and to eat pizza. Addie loves Chuck E. Cheese.















Addie with Tarah! She really liked Tarah a lot!

She really liked this Bob the Builder rider.

15 months old!!!

There are so many changes that I can't even begin to recall them all for you. You just have to see Miss Adalynn in her habitat to believe all of her tricks. Our two new best tricks would have to be our love for brushing our teeth and peeing in the potty.

Addie's expressive speech skills have kinda halted. She has met all of her milestones and can say all of the sounds for her age but everything kinda sounds the same. However, her receptive language skills have just taken off unbelievably. She is able to understand most of what we tell her. That is how we figured out the potty. I asked her if she pooped and she went to the bathroom at Grammy's house. I sat her on the toilet and she peed in it. We bought her potty and so far everytime that I have sat her on it she has peed!!
Addie is starting to test the waters with mommy and daddy. We have initiated the Dead Puppy policy. She is so stinking cute that when we get onto her she says "no no" and claps her hands (that is what we do). In order to keep from laughing I try to think of dead puppies. I had a good friend tell me about this technique that she uses to keep from laughing. Somedays, it is more successful than others.

Playing at the mall

When we got home today it was 70 degrees! Yeah! Addie has started to want outside. I put her in the stroller and we walked around the neighborhood. Mainly, to see which house is for sale for like 40,000 less than what we paid!! That stinks!

Anyways, Jeremy came home and decided that we should get out so we went to the Promenade to play at the Frog Pad. Addie did well but there were a lot of kids there. And they were a lot bigger than her. She kinda doesn't know that she isn't bigger.











Peek A Boo Mommy!

Trying to be Girly

We have been trying to get used to wearing bows in our hair again. Not so successfully.

Addie is also learning to climb. She likes to flip her chair over and try to climb on top of it. Yikes!














These are Addie's new jammies. I really didn't want to buy winter jammies at the end of winter but hers just didn't fit anymore and we really couldn't make it any longer. I finally gave in and went a bought 2 new pairs at Old Navy. We love Old Navy, Gap and Children's Place jammies.

Gift for a Special Friend!

I didn't post this because it was a gift for a special friend, Melissa Shuck-Davis. She is having a baby girl, Lyla soon. We had her shower this weekend. I made this hand-painted canvas for her lady bug themed room. I also painted another one but I never got a picture of it. Mom has one so you will have to wait for it.

Play Date with Maebrie.

A few weeks ago, we had a nice Sunday. So I called Jamie and she called me and we decided to take the girls to a park.
Addie did not enjoy the park toys but the ball that was there.
















Addie in the swing. Not her favorite.



















Maebrie and Matt playing on the jungle gym thing.

I am the Daddy of a Little Girl

This is definitely not the Jeremy I met in the 8th grade or dated through high school! But he is the Jeremy that I love now as my "baby daddy" There are some things that a man would never do unless he has a little girl and if you don't have one you wouldn't understand. This is Jeremy wearing the princess birthday crown. He plays tea party and babies. Today, he knocked down a 3 year old at the park who was about to plow over Addie! We love you so much Daddy and are so proud to have you as our Daddy!
