17 Months

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

It's time for the monthly Addie up-date. Two days ago, on the 14th, Addie turned 17 months old. Our little girl is a talker. Her vocab is quite extensive at this point. Addie says new words almost daily. Even when I think she doesn't understand or isn't listening, she uses the new words it seems like only a few days later. Addie has a Sesame Street Kids' Favorite Songs DVD (a Valentine's gift from Grandma and Grandpa Weber). She has fallen in love with Elmo and "Elmo's Song". It's pretty darn cute when she starts singing, "la, la, la, song". We made a short visit to Lovell at the end of February. Addie had a wonderful time being the center of attention. She got to see cows up close and even petted a newborn calf. She loved it – no fear (not yet anyway). With the recent spring weather in combination with Addie's solid ability to walk and even run, she has discovered "outside". We anticipate a fun summer :). Addie had a nursery preview last Sunday which went very well. I think she will do well in nursery. Addie's parents are ready for her to do well anyway. Addie is doing great! We sure love our little girl!
