 Birthday Dinner date at Red Robin.

 They came out and sang to her!
 Birthday girl with a shirt announcing her age!

 Her friend Austen (left) gave her an doll, so now she gets together with her friends who also have dolls and play together. So cute!

 Blowing out candles!

 She was giving a presentation which was abruptly cut short by an assassin brother.
 At Baskin Robbins for free birthday cone. It was watermelon, can you see the little faux seeds?

Singing

Addy's room is right next to my office. She has no idea I'm in here and can hear her. She just woke up and is singing to herself. So precious and cute. I love the songs she makes up.

Fainting

I was laying down with Adelaide tonight and she was kind of sad and frustrated and asked me, "Why can't I make myself faint?" Apparently she has been faking fainting lately. Nathan says if he has walked around a corner and surprised her, she will pretend to faint. She says she wants to do it 'hard', but she is afraid to get hurt so she just does it soft. Not sure how she even knows what fainting is!

Best Name Ever

Adelaide has a pony (My Little Pony) and it's name is.....Best Name Ever. That's right. After she first received it, she was trying to think of a name for it. She said she wanted whatever name she chose to be the best name ever. Then she got this 'A-ha' moment and said, "I know! I will name it: Best Name Ever". Tonight she came into my room and said, "Best Name Ever just told me a funny story."

Uh-sgusting

Addy can't quite pronounce 'disgusting'....although she likes to use that word a lot. Instead, it comes out Uh-sgusting. Mostly in reference to things her brother does, "Ew, Deacon. That is asgusting."

I love you Gma Gavin

I let Addy record something to send to Grandma Gavin. This is what she came up with:
"I love you grandma gavin because y have a lot of games to play and you have new app but i most love you for i you grandma gavin"

Doesn't make complete sense how it came out, but basically she likes Grandma's ipad and the games and apps she lets Addy play ;)

Adelaide in November





 She was supposed to decorate a turkey to disguise it (to keep it from getting eaten). Most kids chose cheerios or buttons to disguise theirs....she chose trash that she picked up around the school yard.
 Selfie (above)
 Sweet dad doing her nails and drying them for her.

Tolmachoff Field Trip - Oct 2014

I volunteered to be a chaperone on Addy's first field trip. I had gone with Deacon a couple years before, so it was fun to have a turn with Adelaide. Her 'boyfriend' Tanner was in our group (below). He's the one in the middle.






We learned about corn and got to pick some cucumber and zucchini and a pumpkin home with us.

Addy Says...

When we ask Addy to do something she doesn't want to do, she gets this really sad look on her face and says, "Too Boring Me." Meaning she doesn't feel like doing it. She says it so sweetly.....and I'm like, "No, you need to________(brush your teeth, stay in bed, eat dinner, etc)."


Nair-mine (nevermind). At first she would be saying "mom! mom!" and when I would finally answer she would literally forget what she was saying and just sweetly go "nair mind". Now she does it as a joke. She will say "Mom." and I will answer right away and then she says "nair mind" and laughs and laughs and laughs.

One thing she does NOT say sweetly though: "it no manna!" This is when she is trying to tell us something and we don't understand and we ask her to say it again. She won't repeat it, she just yells angrily, "It no manna!" Which I *think* means "It doesn't matter (anyway)". But I don't know.... She is speaking better though, so we don't have to ask her to repeat things as often. But I am forever not knowing the difference between penny and pretty and panty or buy and bike. Today she was point at her bike saying "where dad buy? where dad buy?" and I was telling her we didn't buy her bike anywhere (found it on the side of the road:). But she was really asking where dad's bike was (it was stolen out of our yard) :(

Skip/Walk

Addy has the cutest little skip in her walk as she goes about the house doing her routine. It is so cute and you can tell she is happy because she can't help but skip! Almost like a gallop! I need to get it on video because she isn't even aware that she does it, she just floats along from one room to the other.
