What I have been up to..

Ryan has been flying across country every weekend and for a while there he left me for two weeks (but all in the name of getting a job, GO RYAN!). And the tortured artist in me has come out and I have been all right brain lately and here are some of my creations.

Addie update

Addie and Hailey after we went to Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. They look super awesome in their 3d shades! And we made it through the whole movie... Hooray!
Addie loves Mac n cheese!

She is the best shopping buddy ever!
At Falls Lake, Addie thought getting her feet buried in the sand was hilarious.

And last but not least, potty training is hard work. She decided she wanted to use the big potty and got her footstool and climbed on up, and well, ran into some trouble. She was screaming for me and was really upset that i ran to grab the camera instead!

now this I'm into...

simple..

Addie had a hard time going to bed tonight but every time she comes out of her room she just sits at the top of the stairs and waits for me to put her back in her room and doesn't even put up a fight.
But she really wanted me to lay next to her so she got me a pillow and covered me in a blanket. Every time i would start to get up she would push me back down and say "hold you". When i asked her if she wanted me to sing her a song, she decided she wanted to sing me a song, after a couple different renditions of ring around the roses she was ready to sleep.

she held my hands while she fell asleep and as she was falling asleep (like big heavy eyes and mumbling) she said i love you mommy and 2 seconds later she was out like a light.


it was one of the highlights of the last two years of my life

and even better, Addie is so close to being potty trained. This was a really good week and she seems to understand it all of a sudden... hallelujah
