Shopping with "Uh un"

Most of Addie's words sound the same. She has highly unintelligible speech for the daughter of an SLP. All two syllable words sound something like "Uh-un"; however, when Uncle Justin is around you know that she is saying Justin. She also calls Tarah this but can kinda say "Tuh" with lots of prompting. She enjoyed carrying Tarah's silver purse which matched her shoes. She returned it with some extra Addie slobber! Sorry Tarah!











We went to the Promenade for lunch at TLC. Then we looked around and Addie rode the carousel. It is so neat. I guess they found it after Hurricane Katrina and refinished it. It was really fun even though Adders doesn't look too excited.
















We kept thinking that she would fall asleep in her stroller, well she didn't so this is her sleeping on me when we got home! She was so tired.

Reading with Lucky

Addie has a puppy Lucky that her Ma and Pa bought her for her birthday. She is always rotating between favorite toys and books. Right now she loves Lucky and reading Peter Rabbit with flaps. One Friday when Mom kept her, she wanted to read Peter Rabbit over and over so now that is her favorite. I think in this picture she actually has one of her other Beatrix Potter books but they all look the same. However, she can tell the difference and gets upset when she realizes she has the wrong one!

Happy Birthday Grandmother!

We went to the Fort for birthday dinner with Jeremy's grandmother. We were suppose to eat at Cheddar's but they had a very long wait. I am beginning to wonder if they are similar to Olive Garden and do a fake wait all time, because I have yet to eat there. Maybe this weekend? Anyways, we got to see most of Jeremy's family and have dinner with them at Outback. Addie enjoys pointing at her Pa and saying "Pa."

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.
