A conversation

Now that Addie is so verbal, we have regular conversations with her. Granted, her "sentences" contain usually one word--sometimes two--but it's still so much fun. Yesterday I was fixing dinner in the kitchen and Addie was in the playroom when I hear her walk by me, I look down and she has a purse in one hand, a lunchbox in the other and a hat on her head (which she put on herself) and she says brightly:

Addie: Bye!
Me (Monica): Bye sweetie, where are you going?
Addie: Work.
Me: Oh, how fun. Who's going to be there?
Addie: (R)eese.
Me: Well say hi to Reese for me.
Addie: Yup.

30 seconds later, Addie walks back into the kitchen.

Addie: BACK!
Me: You're back from work, how was it?
Addie: Goo(d).
Me: Can I have a hug?
Addie: Yesh. (H)ug.

After a big "welcome back" hug, she's back to the playroom...sigh, I love this little girl!

More quick snaps

Anne came over last week to play in Addie's inflatable pool now that the weather is warm.

Waiting for a quick snack before swimming (I don't think the "wait 30 minutes before swimming" rule counts if the water is 3 inches deep).



And here's one from when I hosted mom's group a few weeks ago. We can never get all the babies in at once--not everyone can make it and then when it comes time to take the pic it's like wrangling cattle to get them all into one place at the same time.
It still amazes me at how different these babies are from last April (when they sat happily and peacefully for the photo shoot)
