20 months! (and other summer fun)

Addie is in a new "decade"--she turned 20 months. It's still 1/3 of a year away from 2, but doesn't it seem like she's already a 2-year-old? I know we haven't done "month" pictures in awhile, but we went out and tried to do them this time.




(we're already training Addie to be a masseuse)
Giggle mania


In other summer fun, she's been cooking up a storm in her kitchen and still loves dress-up (What--who doesn't wear a crown while cooking?)


The ever present boots--she can put them on herself (and generally gets them on the right feet!) and thus wears them all. the. time.

Last summer Addie had her first trip to the zoo with the wonderful Hoffman Byer family and we reprised the visit now that the little ones aren't chubby little potato babies anymore. They both were really into the monkeys and the seal show and big sister Pearl was very helpful in showing the little ones the ropes.



Addie's friend Riley turned 3 this month and we got to go to his super fun Curious George birthday party. Happy birthday, Riley!

Addie has been to birthday parties before, but this was the first time she could really participate in the fun.

He even had a cool pinata that the older kids took a whack at.

Addie enjoyed sharing the search for candy.
And we let her have a piece.
And a cupcake...let's just say that no lunch was eaten today. :)

She is so lovely and so full of personality. I love the red dress!

And my goodness, Rosanne looks exactly the same, and her daughter looks so much like her!

Sounds like you guys are really enjoying the summer. Lots of kisses to Addie.
