Talking

Addie's latest thing is definitely talking. I'm sure that will continue for a long, long time...hopefully using our language, English, more than her own little Addie language that she often likes to use these days. Recently, she has been waiting at the door for Daddy to get home in the late afternoon, and as soon as he opens the door, she starts telling him all about her day. It's awesome-Daddy can't even get a word in because she talks so much. Not that he even knows what she is saying, but that is okay. On another note, Pops and Dottie came down for a visit last weekend, which was fun, though Daddy was sick while they were here (thankfully the rest of us have not had the stomach bug he had). So, here are more recent pics. And, as a sidenote for anyone interested, you can order 50 free prints with free shipping at Snapfish.com today using the coupon code HPINK50 at checkout. So, that is 50 pictures totally free-I just did it!

Here is Addie modeling a Christmas hat she is borrowing from her cousin Michaela. And yes, she is sitting in Levi's Bumbo seat-one of her favorite places to sit right now. It is amazing how appealing Levi's baby stuff is to her now that she is 20 months old:

All bundled up. When we got inside, I asked Addie if she wanted to take off her coat, hat, and she shoes. She replied "no." So, she stayed bundled for a while as she played indoors.

This video somewhat shows Addie's new love of talking...to her brother. Maybe she thinks he can understand her better that we can since he make similar noises as her sometimes. At least Levi seemed interested and entertained by what she had to say-I have a feeling she will be talking to him a lot in the years to come (most likely telling him what to do if Addie is anything like her mommy was with Uncle Nate).
