Hot Wheels Cars

Addyson is soooo into Hot Wheels cars right now. She LOVES them! Aubryn likes to play with them too, but not like Addyson does. The first thing Addyson does when she wakes up in the morning is run in the living room and starts playing with her cars. This is just another one of her phases she is going through. We'll see what she is into next week.

Addyson at 2

Today is the third day that Addyson has been using the potty exclusively except for one wet diaper. She is going poo poo and pee pee in the potty. Yeah! I hope this means that we are on our way to being potty trained. She is wearing "big girl" panties as I type this.

She is so funny right now and doing so many new cute things everyday. I need to get better about posting everything before I forget. With something new everyday I can't keep up.

A little while ago she was cooking for her daddy in her play kitchen making one of her favorites, soup. After serving her daddy his meal she brought him a bill and then went and got her fake credit card and gave it to him so he could use it to pay. She is so funny and cute, not mention accurate, that's what happens when we go out to eat so she is just doing what she sees. Gramps says we eat out too much.

Addyson's First Dentist Appt.

Today was Addyson's first dentist appt. at NLR Pediatic Dental with Dr. Wilson. She did really good. When we were waiting to go back I could tell she was a little nervous and was about to tune up and cry but she didn't she just said "I wanna go home". When we got back to the room she didn't want to wear the sunglasses or the headphones to watch tv the hygenist put the sunglasses on her then she took them off. She laid down and let the hygenist clean her teeth but she was crying, she opened her mouth and followed directions but cried through it, I think she just didn't know what to expect. Afterwards, Dr. Wilson came in and she let him look in her mouth without crying. I sat with her the whole time and held her hand that is why I was only able to get one picture, that was when I got up to get her a kleenex. Overall she did great and was super excited about her new toothbrush and the prizes she got out of the prize box.

We went to Gran and Gramps afterwards and she was so proud of herself and showed them her pretty, clean teeth and her prizes. She wouldn't put her prizes down.

After we left Gran and Gramps we went to Hobby Lobby (for Mommy) and Hallmark where she got a Valentine bracelet and pink cowboy boot slippers for doing so good at the dentist.

By the way, NO CAVATIES! and they won't do anything about her crossbite until she is 7 or 8. Also, the passy really hasn't done much damage.

New Year's Eve

We had a pretty low key New Year's Eve, we went to dinner with my aunt and uncle and some of their friends at Outback and then my friend Brandi, her husband Maurice and girls Abigayle and Lillian came over and we baked cookies and the girls toasted their sparkling white grape juice. They thought they were big stuff! We had a good time just hanging out.

Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas, it started out at our house and Gran and Gramps came over early in the morning to see what Santa brought. My Aunt Deirdre and Uncle Scott from North Carolina were staying with us so they got to get in on the fun too. It was really neat that they were here and got to share the moment. Then we went to Gran and Gramps to open presents then had to rush home and get ready to go to Grandmas for Christmas dinner and open presents there. It was a packed, fun-filled day. We had a great day and enjoyed the time spent with our family, we are truly blessed.

Addyson really got into opening the presents this year and just wanted to keep opening and opening. The kitchen was a real big hit! Aubryn plays with it just as much as Addyson. I took a picture of what the girls saw when they woke up Christmas morning.

Rockettes

We went to see the Rockettes with my mom, Aunt Shirley, and cousin Tracy when they came to the Alltel Arena. It was really special to Aubryn since she got to dance with them at her dance studio a couple weeks before the show. Addyson was so good, she sat and watched the whole show and ooohed and ahhhd through the whole thing. Both girls really enjoyed it as well as the adults. I hope they come again next year.
