Labor Day Weekend


We had a very busy and fun Labor Day Weekend. Saturday morning we went to the parade for the Sunset Festival. We weren't sure what Addy was going to think, but she liked it. She loved watching all the bands go by. Famous Daves was there with a person dressed up as a pig, well she saw all the other kids hugging him and she wanted to. I thought he would come over so I said do you want to hug the pig and she so did. She was sad when the pig went the other way. So cute. Then later that afternoon my parents came over to walk over to the festival together. We had a lots of fun. Addy rode the carosal this time with mom. She had some dinner along with an ice cream treat from Nonna and Grandpa. We had a great time and were glad that my parents could join us!

Bridal Shower


Last night my parents hosted my cousin Nick and his fiance Jessica a couples bridal shower. It turned out really nice, although the guys weren't too sure what this bridal shower was all about, but everyone had a fun time. Addy had fun seeing her cousins Olivia and Laila, but I think her most fun was playing with Aunt Donna and Uncle Stan's new puppy Wrigley. She was chasing him all over the place. Very cute! Here are some pics.

Addy's 2 year appt



Addy had her 2 year appointment on Friday and she was such a brave little girl. She got measured and weighed on the big person scale and was so brave. The doctor said that she is growing up great and he has no worries at all about her late talking. Although lately she has been more talkative then ever. She always has something to say, it may not always be as clear to anyone else, but she talks. She also is very busy and is as active as every other normal 2 year old. She had to get a finger prick, that didn't bother her at all and also another shot. She cried, but it was just for a little bit afterward. I was so proud of her. She was so brave.
We ran some errands after her appointment and on our way back to my parents she fell asleep. My mom got this picture of her. I just love it. She has not slept like this one me in a very long time. She is my sweet little princess.

Addy's Zoo


Addy got this cute Fisher Price Zoo from my parents for her birthday and it is her new favorite toy. She loves matching the animals up to the picture on the back of the box. She loves trying to say the animal name and sounds. We always see her walking around with at least two if not more animals in her hand at one time. Here are some pictures of her with the zoo.

Fun Time with Uncle Bryan


Before my brother went back to Iowa State he was able to see Addy one last time and have some quality time with her. These are some of the pictures my mom took of them. I thought they were pretty cute. She just loves her Uncle Bryan.

Bella's 1st Birthday Party


Today we went to Addy's friend Bella's 1st Birthday Party. We had a lot of fun and Addy had a blast. She loves going to parties and wanted to try to help Bella with her presents. She saw all those presents and thought this was another birthday party for her. She especially loved a car that Bella got. We couldn't get her away from it. Cake time was also a favorite part. She is getting really good eating with a fork. Addison is turning into such a big girl. She started saying Ta-Da today after Bella's grandpa said it. So cute! Check out the pics.

Look who is driving now
