Tag! You're it!

Addy and Vander were playing 'tag' at Grandma's house on Sunday and now she has been asking me EVERYDAY to play it with her at our house. So cute. She will run up and lightly hit me and say "Tag. You're it, mama" then she will run away giggling. So then I chase her down the hallway (our house isn't that big but it is still fun for her). Then I tag her and she chases me. I can't run too fast though or she gets frustrated that she can't catch me quickly. It is comical to watch! Especially when I try to leap over the bed Ü. Anyway, I don't know how they started playing it together but it's funny....


Also, Addy loves to cook in her little play kitchen. She is always asking, "Mom, play...my....room?" That means she wants me to come sit at her play table so she can cook for me. She makes "train soup" which is a bowl full of Deacon's toy trains and I pretend to slurp it like soup. Her nursery teacher told me Addy made her "dog soup" on Sunday----hopefully that is not soup made of real dog Ü.

"Like"

So, nothing to do with Facebook but Addy uses the word "like" a lot, but not in the teenager way Ü. It is so adorable when she gives me a hug and says, "Like. Momma." Then, to be sure nobody feels left out, she goes through a whole other list: "Like...Daddy. Like....Deelie (Deacon). Like....Nano (Grandma). Like....Papa. Like....RoRo."

Then, if she DOESN'T like something, she makes this frowny face and shakes her head while saying, "Like...naps".

Ta-La!

The last few days Addy has been coming up to me and saying, "Shut. Eyes." to get me to close my eyes and follow her to room. When I open my eyes she yells "Ta-La" (like ta-da) and shows me that she cleaned her room all by herself. She threw everything in a cardboard box, but I will take what I can get!!

 Trying on my bra

 She loves to stick out her tongue and make goofy faces

 I love the giddy anticipation on her face for her bday present

A happy napper!

 Blowing out her birthday cake. Her bday was on Father's day this year and she was nice enough to share the cake with daddy ;)

 again with the silly faces

 typical attire: safari hat, half her ballerina tutu, a sock and croc on one foot, tennis shoe on the other.

 Picking out bday presents at toys r us.

 holding roslynn

 she stuck these mr. potato parts in her orifices and came to me to take a picture.

Big Sister

 

 

 

Still loves to cook for me in her little kitchen, still loves to pray before eating:

Watering the cement at Grandma's house (with salt water, no less)

 

ALWAYS a silly pose after the normal one:

 

I would try to get her to wear flip flops to swim lessons, but she insisted on her cowgirl boots. They are so adorable anyway!

LOVE this shot 

 

Signed Addy up for a dance class through the city. They are strict on the age limits. She was two the first day of class and them immediately turned 3, but they insisted she stay with the two year old. She was twice as tall as everyone else and way more advanced. Good for us though, I'm sure the others felt like they wasted their money as their kids just ran amok. Addy would actually listen and take direction very well.

 

 

 

She absolutely LOVED this class every week while it was going on. Then as soon as the session ended, all she would say is "no like dance class" and she won't let me sign up for another one. Weird!

Easter! Normal picture above, and then of course the silly face photo:

I forget why Deacon was mad this day:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just being her typical sweet self and snuggling on dad's shoulder while he read to her. Of course I ran to get the camera!

 

In the Spring Training dugout for the Cincinnati Reds/Cleveland Indians. Deacon played a tball game on the big field this day and we went to watch!

 

She makes sure to pray even before eating fake food in her bedroom!
