Whats new?

Well... Several things.

Addison has recently begun to put words with the correct objects. She knows and says the colors yellow, blue and purple. She called mom and dad's dog Macy by her name. she knows many animals by sight and when she sees them she'll call their name and make the noise associated with it. She fed herself with a fork and spoon for the first time last night and was very proud of herself. She says 'BOO' when something that was hidden is not anymore for example. I had hidden her paci under the pillow the other morning (she doesn't get one unless she is asleep). She saw me put it there and after getting dressed she lifted the corner of the pillow and said 'BOO!' to the paci.

I was talking to her head teacher Mrs. Dayanna this morning and she said when the last bigger kid (20 months) moves up Addison is going to be the leader in the 14-20 month old room at a young 16 months. She said she follows directions and is so much more advanced than a lot of the 18 month old babies. That makes momma and daddy very proud!

She also recognizes when someone does something nice and says 'da dou' (Thank you)

new words:

Grandpa (only said 2x)

Macy

Guilk (milk)

juice

dawg (exactly how she says it)

Bubbles

purple

Cheese (cheezits)

More (says and signs when she sees a box of something she wants)

Hungry (not quite the full word)

up

dit down (sit down/get down)

done

mama (she can point to the picture that i'm on on the fridge though sometimes i am uncle nate, papa, or aunt krista).

guk (Book)

shoe shoe (socks and shoes)

uhoh (yes it was her first word but it is very very clear now)

Car

Tree

Green Grass (from her thumpers fluffy tail)

Tumper (thumper)

Pish (fish)

I know i'm forgetting some but these are her most recent.

She also will point at something and say a sentence of babble that I can't make out but she knows what she is talking about!

Animal sounds:

Elephant (it is sooo cute) Monkey

Bear Fish

Dog duck (sometimes)

Cat Snake

Deer

She saw Clifford on TV the other day and squealed with delight and screamed DDDDDDDDDAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWGGGGGG!!! then began to pant and repeat dog dog dog over and over.

At night after dinner I say lets go upstairs for our bath. she goes upstairs and into the bathroom and tries to take off her clothes. Then after bath once she has on her jamies she goes to the blue pillow in the floor and lays her head down for book and mommy cuddles. It really is too cute! I asked her to get the purple book for her bedtime story and she picked up the purple book out of the stack for us to read. Once I am done reading she grabs the book and turns page by page and reads to me. Of course most of it I can't understand but when she recognizes something she says it correctly.

More pictures to come! This weekend is her first weekend away from home without mommy and daddy. Grandmommy and Grandpoppy are keeping her in Blue Ridge Friday and Saturday so mommy and daddy can have some much needed time together for date night. Then Sunday we're going to the pumpkin patch.
