So I haven't been posting one because there has been no news and two because there has been no pictures. Addie has become fascinated with the camera and so every time I get it out to take a picture she drops whatever the cute thing is that I want to take a picture of and races toward me and the camera so she can take a look. This has resulted in very cute things taken in a very blurry manner and most of them haven't even been worth keeping because you can't even tell what she is doing. By the time I get the camera out and up to take a picture she's already high tailing it over to me and by the time the shutter goes off it's just a smudgy blur of color. Here are the best ones I got and the story to go with them.

Before bedtime it is in our routine to read a story, one night Addie got out a book and grabbed a dolly but instead of coming over to sit on my lap, she asked to get up onto the couch. I sat her up there and she proceeded to put the dolly in her own lap and open the book. The book just happens to be one of her favorites because it has pictures of all sorts of animals in it so she was jabbering away as she turned th page and if she came to an animal she knew she would say the word, make the noise, or sign the animals name. She especially enjoyed telling the dolly about the monkeys in the book. In this picture she is holding her nose saying elephant in her baby sign language.


On Sunday I was doing the dishes when Addie came in and started to "help" by taking out everything I had just put in, well this continued for awhile until she had everything out of the little utensil basket. She then snatched up the basket from it's nestled spot in the dishwasher and started carrying it around the house in the crook of her arm. I started singing a tisket, a tasket a green and yellow basket and because it was Sunday and she had her dress on she started to "spin". It was a very cute red riding hood type of moment.



Addie has been really into stickers lately. I have a baggie of odds and ends stickers I've collected over the years that I let her get into and this day she was putting stickers on momma's face, then I would put one on her face etc. This is the end result.
