Here are some pictures from our last couple of weeks!

Addie helping Daddy make pancakes....don't they look delicious?

Addie is about to jump into the lake with her Daddy.

We went to Port Aransas last weekend with my dad, Clare, and Kristin. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. Addie is at the age where she is very easy to travel with and she loved all of the attention from Poppy, Mimi and Kiki. Addie loved the beach and the waves until some seaweed wrapped around her leg. That was the end of the beach for us. She did not want any more "grass" to touch her. She insisted on staying at the pool and when we did walk down to the beach she had to be on her daddy's shoulders. Mavis and Aiden were in town visiting Mavis' parents and came to spend the day with us on Saturday. Aiden LOVED the beach...so I spent most of my time with them while Addie and Bryan played in the pool. It was great to see them and we are really excited about our visit with them in a couple of weeks.

The last afternoon we were there, Addie got out of the pool, gathered her bucket of toys and got into her stroller. She said, "finished with pool Mommy." Addie definitely knows what she wants.

There was a play set at our condos and Addie had a blast playing on it. She climbed up a very tall set of stairs and slid down a "big girl" slide by herself. Most of you know that Addie is not the most daring child, so it was very surprising that she did not beg me to come and slide with her when she got to the top! Instead she said, "Addie slide self" and off she went. She was very proud of herself when she got to the bottom. One of her favorite sayings now is, "I'm a big girl now." It is so true...which is so sad to me!!! She can do so much by herself and she has grown up so much in the past 6 weeks. (Sorry the pictures are blurry...the humidity did not agree with my camera.)

Addie drinking my leftover cup of ranch dressing. Like father like daughter!!!

This morning Addie wanted to put my pajama pants on over her clothes. So I put them on and rolled them up and she loved it. She had to go and show Bryan and then proceeded to call herself a princess over and over. Not sure what kind of princess wears pajama pants...but they do in Addie's world!
