Dime

On the day that mommy and Addy came home from the hospital you were in watching a movie in mom and dads room like you usually do. You shut the door, which usually means you are pooping. You had been in there a little while so dad came in to check on you and when he opened the door you were pointing to your mouth and saying money. Dad had remembered that he saw a dime on the floor and asked you if you ate it and you said yes. So we had to go back to the hospital and get an x-ray and sure enough you had it in your belly. The doctor said that it should pass but we haven't seen anything yet come through. We probably will be taking you in the next few days and have another x-ray done. We are hoping that the dime passes and we don't have to but we will see.

Big Sister

On April 27th you finally became a big sister. You stayed with grandma Karen for 3 days while mommy and Addyson was in the hospital. Right after mommy had Addy you came up and got to see her for the first time and you were in love with her and already I could tell that you were going to be a big help. You love to hold her and kiss her all the time.

The only thing we have noticed is that you throw more fits now and we dont understand why but we may think its because you are not the only one getting attention or it may be because you are going through the terrible twos. Hopefully it will only last a little while and will be back to your normal self.

Easter

For Easter this year we didn't end up doing a whole lot. We didn't go to the Easter egg hunt because the weather was bad, snowing and blowing. The Easter bunny did manage to find you though and brought you candy and some toys. You had fun picking up all your eggs. Grandma Tams work had their egg hunt the next weekend so we took you and you had fun running around trying to put as much in your basket as you could. I can only imagine what you will be like next year.

You have been saving up your money and we decided to buy you a trampoline and so we put that together on Easter as well. It took you awhile to figure out how to jump but now you are a pro and want to go outside all the time.

2nd Birthday

Well you had your 2nd birthday and we decided this year not to do a big party. We had grandma Karen over and Grandpa Lyle and Grandma Tam. We had tacos for dinner and then we had Dora the Explorer cake with ice cream. You got spoiled like usual. You got lots of clothes, books, blanket, and a purse with a wallet and cards. You sure are getting big and cant wait to meet your new little sister.

Wedding

Mommy's cousin Kaylee got married on March 13Th and you were asked to be a flower girl. You are not a big dress person so we got your dress early and practiced with you what you needed to do and how to walk in your dress. You ended up actually running all over the gym in your dress but you did manage to walk down the isle OK. No flowers got on the floor but we were glad that you at least walked. You looked so cute in your dress.

Getting so big

A lot has gone on since mommy last posted. You are running around the house like crazy now. You are trying to put more words together everyday and you are starting to watch cartoons. You love to help do the dishes, and clean (even when you think you are helping by pulling everything out that mom puts away). You are full of energy and there are days mom can not keep up. We talk to dad everyday on the computer via skype and love to see him. I think it makes the 2 weeks he is gone go by faster.

You are starting to really get the idea about your baby sister. You told me yesterday that you want to rock her when she gets here. They have a ban on the hospital that no little kids are allowed so hopefully by the time April comes you can come up there.

Your new favorite movie is UP. You can tell us what is coming up in every scene. You love to say "I Love You" and "Squirrel" like Dug does in the movie.

You are such a sweet little girl and we love you to death!!! Your 2ND birthday is next month and we are going to either do it Dora or Elmo. You are in love with those two at the moment.

Big Sister

You went to the doctor with mom and grandma eve yesterday and we found out that you are going to be a big sister to a little sister. We are going to have another little girl in the family and now daddy is really going to be out numbered. We are going to name her Addyson Nichole Eve. So now you both will have Mommy's name. You don't know yet what is really going on but you have started calling her AaAa for Addy. I think that you will be a big helper to mom when she gets here.

You have been climbing on things a lot and yesterday and today you were trying to get on the kitchen table and your foot slipped and you have bit your lip twice now. Both time they bled. I think this is your first big owie.
