On October 14th Addie turned two. We celebrated her birthday Saturday evening with a fun "Elmo" themed party. Addie, like many other toddlers, is a big Elmo fan. We partied with our families, Skypeing with the Weber's. We "surprised" Addie with her party, by having Aunt Katie pick her up about an hour before the final set up of the party. Addie's reaction was great! She immediately was thrilled with all the balloons, party hats, and horns. Addie loves being the center of attention (she's not a shy girl), so she had a wonderful time during the celebration. The activities included: dinner, a slide show, gifts, and cake and ice cream. Addie was spoiled by all our family and got a lot of great gifts. She was entertaining to watch while she opened her presents. She squealed and gasped when she opened her gifts and quickly threw all the clothes aside to look for more books and toys. We're so glad that we were able to share Addie's big day with our families!
At two years old, Addie is a ball of energy and a real character. She is pretend playing more and more. She pretends to be a frog, a kangaroo, and an airplane. She loves to jump up and down and run fast. She talks very well, combining up to four words. She knows her colors, counts to 10 (working on counting to 20), knows her basic shapes, and she is starting to recognize individual letters and numbers. Addie loves to color, and she still loves books. We love our Addie girl!
Yum! Chocolate Cake!
