Addie

Addie is such a funny girl. We love her to death and she is continually cracking us up with the things she says and does. She is like a sponge and we are learning that we have to be very careful about what we do or say or we'll catch her repeating it to us or her animals/dolls. She is constantly saying things like, "are you kidding me?" and "oh my goodness or oh my gosh"! It's funny to hear.

She never acts her age. She's always mothering someone- whether it's her animals, Will or her friends. She's always chomping on gum like she's a teenager or talking on the phone and doing something else at the same time. Or crossing her legs. It's hilarious most of the time. Usually the only time she ever acts like a 3 year old is when she's tired and needs to go to bed!

She still has a fantastic imagination. She always has her dogs (stuffed beanie babies), Dodger and Lily, and she now has a baby doll named Gracie that goes everywhere with us. She feeds her (real food), talks to her, plays with her and sleeps with her.

Most of the time she still refers to herself in the third person (i.e. Addie likes this, Addie needs to do this). We think it stems from her Elmo watching back when she was little. It's cute but hopefully we can get her to start referring to herself as I soon.

She's still doing tumbling class and doing great. She can now do a somersault without using her hands and can hold her headstand up against the wall for a few seconds. It's been really great to see her actually do the things she's learning.

She is continuing to be such a good big sister to Will. She loves playing with him and he absolutely loves watching her. She loves him so much and is always telling him how sweet and cute he is.

She loves to sing. She sings all day long. Most of the time I have no idea what she's singing- it's just made up words usually to the tune of a Primary song. I don't think she even realizes she's singing half of the time.

She brings so much happiness to our home. Love you Pook!
