Addison was busy running away from me one morning in her bedroom when she heard the train far away outside.  She stopped and listened.
Mommy:  "Do you hear the train?"
Addy:  "Yeah, I want to see the train."
Mommy:  "I don't know where it is."
Addy:  "It's right there" (pointing to her window)

Mommy: "Eat your muffin Addison"
Addy: "No"
Mommy:  "Why not?"
Addy:  "Because why?"

Addison with her Aunt Courtney and soon-to-be Uncle Mitch.  Mitch's sister is in our ward and she and I set Courtney and Mitch up on a blind date.  They are engaged to be married May 10.  I'm so happy for them!  They make a cute couple.

I've been sick with a cold for the past few days and it's kicking my butt.  When I get sick when I'm pregnant it seems so much harder to handle.  Today Steve has been so wonderful and is taking care of Addison so I can rest in my bedroom with the humidifier.  I came downstairs to eat after a few hours of resting and he had cleaned the kitchen and taken out the trash.  He is so thoughtful and caring.  I appreciate him so much!  Now I can hear him giving Addison a bath and I can hear her laugh occasionally.  I've only been away from her for a few hours and I just want to cuddle with her!  I miss her already.  Hearing her laugh in the bath is making me miss her even more.  It's amazing that even though I spend 7 days a week with that girl, I miss her after only a short time.  I love when she's gets excited and yells "Mom!" when I return from running an errand without her.  She is the sweetest and I'm so excited to be having another little girl soon. 

We went to my niece, Grace's baptism on Saturday.  The bishop was talking and demonstrating his point with a remote control helicopter.  He had Grace's new 13 year old brother, Surprise (adopted from Africa), hold the helicopter and he turned the helicopter on so the blade spun around for a few seconds.  Then he stopped it to talk about it.  After it stopped Addison yelled "So fuuun!".  She is so entertaining these days.  She's saying more sentences, most of which are just fragmented words put together.  When she doesn't like something she says "I no like it".  The other night Steve was putting her to bed and she said something like "Daddy, teddy, bed, rock".  I'm not sure what she meant by that.  When Steve or I are watching tv and Addison wants to watch her show, she says "I no like tv.  I want to watch Dinosaur Train" (or whatever show she wants to watch at the time). 

January 2012

The whole reason to post today is because of something funny that happened at church.  Today in sacrament meeting a 6 year old boy sitting next to us asked if Addison lost a tooth!  I'm assuming he was referring to her gap lol.  Poor girl.  I think her gap is adorable but I hope it fills in some day :)

December happenings

At the beginning of December we got a visit from Grandma Luke from AZ.

We finally got some cold weather.  It's been such a warm winter, which I'm thankful for.

We put up our Christmas tree and took some Christmas pictures (and pregnancy pics).

I'm about 17 weeks pregnant in this picture.  I feel like I'm showing so much bigger with this pregnancy.

Then some of my family came to town for Christmas and we went to Planet Play

On Christmas we had the cousins act out the Nativity.  Addison was the 'stars in the heavens' :)  She did such a great job!  It was cute to watch her!

She was supposed to stand on the fireplace next to the angel....she made it there eventually :)
