May 2011

I so love this picture. Deacon was gone and Addy was taking advantage by playing in his room. She brought me his Ironman pulsar and had me connect it to her shirt. A few minutes later I hear a clanging in the hall and it is her wearing his rollerblades.

I found her playing 'tea party' in her room by herself....with her backpack on. She is such a cutie.

Grandpa giving her rides on Great Grandma's wheelchair:

This was the funniest thing: she would bang-bang-bang on the piano for 10 seconds. Then stop. Turn the page of the music. Then resume banging. Like she was really playing!

In her brand new Dora couch (still had tag on it), that someone threw out. We washed it ;)

April 2011

"Helping" dad make brownies

Carrie's cat had kittens and Addy was in heaven!

Deacon put on Addy's diaper all by himself! Unfortunately he did the velcro under her leg on one side, instead of around her hip. Not bad for the first time though! Addy just waited patiently :)

Addy doing an Easter Egg Hunt

This was a dual purpose photo shoot. Mostly to capture how cute Addy is in her new tutu that Aunt Callie made. But also to capture the awesome paint job I did on this chair so I could sell it on Craigslist. But mostly for Addy :)

Then she wrapped her car around a tree :)

March 2011

Looking so sweet in her crib

I bought a "101 piece food set" and Addy was determined to 'taste' each piece!
On a side note, I only brought out about half of the food and left the other 50 pieces in a box in her closet. Even the 50 is WAY too much. I find that food everywhere!

I was taking one last picture of Deacon with his cast on....when Addy came and stood next to him on the wall and said, "cheese!". So of course she got a picture too. Poor girl: Deacon threw a book at her head and gave her an awful bruise. Then, like two days later she fell and hit the bathroom door jam and got a gash on top of the SAME bruise :(

February 2011

Not many pictures this month, I don't know why.
Here's one from when cousin Carsten stayed with us for a weekend in February:

So I need to preface these next few of her with this picture of Deacon. He decided to draw a 'utility belt' on his tummy with marker. He loves Batman, Spiderman, Superman, etc. All the super heroes. And they all have utility belts so he decided he needed one.

Well Addy loves to do ANYthing her big brother does. So as I was taking his picture she kept coming up to me like this:

Then she showed me she had drawn her OWN utility belt!

Blowing kisses (above) and her trademark open-mouth-smile (below)

She came with us to the firestation for Deacon's preschool field trip

One of my new favorite pictures (below). She loves to go strait to her zebra after taking a bath. New meaning to riding bareback Ü

She loves to help dad work on the cars, but she gets SUPER dirty!
