Is it possible our little girl is 2 years old!! Where did the time go? Our month has been filled with preparing for our little girls Birthday and we have stayed very busy. Hersheypark water park fun, Visit from Gandpa and Grandma, Owens (best Buddies) birthday and just good old summer fun!!
Our little girl is talking more and more every day... its like she started and hasnt stopped!! and every week she tells us another word!! She constantly amazes us with how much and how quickly she is learning!! Naps are still our day to day struggle!! After books had been advised several times, I finally decided to bite the bulltet and try books in the crib!! Since I have only been doing this a week now, I can see it has made a major difference and really calmed her down!! I tried the CIO method again for 5 days last week and I was at my witts end!! CIO did not work the way it had before and I was seriously thinking Naps might need to be dropped as I was running out of steam and energy! But after a hard lesson I had to learn, I finally decided that I really needed to work on my patience and try out something different and well... books its is!! Once again, I am amazed at how well Addison responded to the books and she has finally stopped fighting the naps!! For NOW!! haha!! Ask me next month!!
We have started to work on the "Potty Training" haha!! well kind of. Nana and Poppa bought her one we dont over push her, as everything we have read said to ease into it, but we do encourage her to use it. She can say Pee and Poop and understands that she should Pee and Poop on the potty, yet I cannot seem to get her to Pee on the potty. lol!! So it is a work in progress!!!
Addison was let go from her daycare this month and once again made us sit back and ponder if I should be a stay-at-home mom. This came at such a happy time in our little girls life, as she was celebrating her 2nd birthday. Hard to be strong and not allow fears to take over, but we were confidant that God would show us what his plan was for both Addison and us.
The highlight of the month.. Addison turned 2. Ice cream party with lots of outdoor fun! Family and special friends came to help make Addison's day soo special!! Pool, bouncy house, sprinkler and fun new toys, along with cake pops and ice cream sundaes were the highlight for our little girl!!
Addison has continued to fill our hearts with so much loye and laughter as she becomes more and more her own little individual! Just full of life ... loves to give hugs and kisses, just constantly overwhelming our hearts as she learns new things and new words. YES, being a mother of a 2 year old has its days! Addison is very strong-willed, determined, independent child, but such a love for life and she has filled our hearts with such laughter and happiness!
