27 Months -
We started out this month at the beach with my parents and my brother. It was such a special time, as my brother had not seen Addison since Christmas. The beach was definitly a highlight of the year and Addison LOVED it! We would pull the car down the main strip and she would already be saying "Oh Fries, fries." HAHA.. she picked up real quick we have fries at the beach every day. She also LOVED to be buried in the sand EVERY DAY.. several times. I think we all took turns every day buring her, making for a major mess of sand when it was time to leave. The water was really calm while we were there and she even got to go out and enjoy the waves. LOVED watching her chase the sea gulls, jump the waves. Just special moments watching Addison with my family.
This month in general has probably been one of my favorite months in Addisons development. Her speach is really coming around and she is finally starting to put multiple words together. She has also become really aware of her surroundings and is now rememebering what we tell her or just things from earlier in the day or even from the day before, telling us about them. She is doing so good at connecting things together and it has been so much fun to watch and listen. She is also more and more repeating us, which at times can be very scary and has made us be more careful what we are saying. Just so in love with her connections to things and her love of life. - Telling me every day who she is going to see and every night, when I say "Good night, Mommy loves you" - "Dada too", "Ganma too", "Pepa too", "Byon too" - "Addison where does Uncle Bryan live?" - "Forida" and "Where does Ganma and Pepa live?" - "New Ork" - "Addison where is Daddy right now" - "Wok". Everything lately is "Addie too" or "Addie's Turn" - It melts my heart to hear her say "Tank too, Momma" she says it all the time and I think my heart could burst with love. Her little words when she is told that she has been disobediant and that it hurts Mommy when she disobeys - "Sarce (Sorry) Momma". She has really developed a LOVE of singing. So many songs she knows and the words, melts my heart to hear her sing... She can now point out the animals, even the hard ones and Tell you their sounds. This has been a month of discovering her dollies. She LOVES her dollies. Carrying them around - everywhere. Singing to them, wrapping them in blankets and feeding them. Giving them kisses. I seriously cannot get enough watching her with her dolls.
I moved Naptime to 130 and usually after lots of books and a fun packed AM, she will pass out. I have noticed a nap after 2 PM is almost never going to happen and I have had to come to full terms that sometimes you may use up TONS of energy and put them down on time and they still will not nap!! and then you just move forward with an earlier bed-time. Which I can say is very hard, bc I am such a routine person, that earlier bedtimes throw me off schedule...lol!
We still spend our days reading books over and over. Now that it has gotten cooler we have gone to the Library a ton, PARK fun has come back. This summer we spent our days at the pool or playing outside in our yard with the sprinkler, kiddie pool ect. WAY to hot to go to the PARK!!
