I got Addy a special coloring book and special markers that only color on the special paper so she can't color on herself or furniture or walls.  She only colors in it if I color with her though, just like her toys - she doesn't usually play with her toys unless someone plays with her.  With the coloring, if I start to color a lot she will take the marker away so she can color with it.  She would do the same thing when we colored with crayons.  If I got to coloring a lot she would take the crayon away so she could use it.  Tonight I was coloring with her and as I started to color a lot Addy said "No mommy, no mommy.  I do it" while trying to move her marker underneath mine so she could color and so I would stop coloring lol.

Addison was being silly today.  Instead of eating her lunch that you see on the table, she was drinking her water and spitting a little bit out.  By the end, the whole front of her shirt was soaked.  She is such a fickle eater, as are most two year olds I guess.  She ended up not eating her lunch.  I guess she may have had too many snacks at church.  And speaking of her eating habits, I took her to the doctor this past week for a 2 year well-check.  She weighs 24 pounds which is the 16th percentile for weight, she is 33 inches tall which is the 51st percentile for height, and her BMI is in the 14th percentile.  She didn't cry at all at the doctor.  Both the doctor and the nurse commented separately that they haven't had a two year old this good/cooperative in a long time.  It was a very pleasant visit.  Thank you Addison!  I appreciate it when she's so good in public.  

Addison's 2nd Birthday

Addy on her birthday.  She looks so grown up!  She's not a baby anymore.  She didn't get to open presents or eat birthday cake until the next day since Steve didn't get home from work until after her bedtime.  So she's wearing several different outfits in her birthday pictures.

Addy wearing the glasses from the Mr. Potato Head she got from her friend Austin

Saturday morning we opened presents and ate birthday cake.

Addy opening a present.  She LOVES watching Toy Story 3 so we thought she would LOVE this Woody doll.  We did not expect her reaction.

Thank you Grandma Luke for this pretty dress.
