What a fun day this was! Addie had so many firsts. She learned the word “safe” and we introduced her to police officers, firemen, and EMT’s. Everyone that had a badge on, Addie would High-Five! By the end of the day, she police by sight!
Here are some highlights from the Sheriffs Office and Police Department demos.
She also had her first Bike Ride! Pink Helmet included. She did awesome and had so much fun. (I guess I know what we will be getting her for her second birthday)
Addie and I have some of our best conversations in the wee morning hours when we are driving to one of the Grandmas houses for a fun day. On this particular day, Addie sat in the back seat singing “one, two… one, two.” So I grabbed my phone and started recording. It is dark, very dark, so there is no image.
(This was actually taken about 2 months ago, but of course I am just around to posting it. She can count much better now. I guess I should record again, but for now, this will give you a good idea of her counting skills!)
Addie’s first Kidism. What a milestone! The other day as Addie and i were driving home, we were chit-chatting about this and that. The conversation went something like this:
Me: What does Daddy Say?
Addie: Bee-Bum (as in Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum)
Me: What does Mommy Say?
Addie: I-Uvvv-Ooooo
Me: What does Ali Say?
Addie: Hand?! (As in Hand Hand Fingers Thumb)
Me: What does Grandma Steph Say?
Addie: Well Duh!
Clear as day it was. I am not quite sure if I was just supposed to know what Grandma Steph says so the “Duh” was for me or if that is actually what Grandma Steph says… Kids. Better yet, My Kid.
Kneebouncers.com is quite possibly the best thing since… Cheerios? I was struggling to find something that would keep Addie’s attention for more than about 2 minutes on Sunday afternoon when I stumbled across the above mentioned website. WONDERFUL. Wait, WON-DER-FUL! AMAZING! Addie is learning to use a laptop at just 8 1/2 months old. I highly recommend anyone who has little tots visit the page and explore the many games. I have added our favorite to our homepage, just click the ADDIE LOVES button at the top and you can play along with her!
Grandma Steph would be so proud, Addie played the piano!
It doesn’t get much better than this… or does it?
Last night just before Jess and I walked out the door for our “adult night out” Addie decided to start crawling…. a lot! It was very hard to leave her as we were so happy. somehow we managed and sure enough, she is still crawling today.
