Addison's Birthday

Our sweet little girl turned 3 on March 4th.  She had a fun party at Fun Zone, along with all her family and friends.  Here are some pictures from her big day!

Update on the kiddos

Ethan and Addison are continuing to grow fast.  March will be a big month for them.  Addison will be 3 and Ethan will be 1!  It is so hard to believe. 

Ethan is on the move big time now.  He is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything!  His mommy is still his favorite :)  If I'm in the room he always wants me to be near.  He will wave to you if you say hi or bye.  He says momma, dada, aga (addison), and cup.  If he is crying and you tell him to find his paci he will reach for his strap and put it in his mouth.  He loves to dance and sing the Bumpy Road song (a little song we made up as we go to daycare).  He is learning the word no very well.  After a couple of times saying "no" he moves on to something else.  He loves Addison but is sometimes annoyed by her always taking his toys away and being bossy.  He doesn't know yet that she means no harm in doing so.  He is going through a little "scared" stage.  Any sudden noise will scare him and he makes the cutest face as he begins to cry.  Overall, he is a very happy good baby.  He always smiles at everyone.

Addison is maturing very quickly.  Her language and vacabulary impresses us everyday.  She is the most considerate person and is always thinking about everyone else.  She is in a stage where she wants to learn about everything.  She has the best memory when it comes to events or things said in the past.  She knows most of her letter sounds and loves to point them out to me as we are driving down the road.  She is a girlie girl all the way but loves to wrestle with her daddy (and Ethan when we aren't looking).  She loves to go shopping and pick out her own clothes.  Addison is an amazing child all around.  I can't wait to see what her future stores.

Paul still loves his new job, I am loving my class this year as well as the courses I'm taking while persuing my Masters in Montessori.  We are loving our new house and are having fun in making it our own.  We have so much to be thankful for.
