A few new things

Addi's been up to a lot lately and since I feel like she's changing so much constantly and we haven't seen any family for awhile (almost a whole month!!) I thought I'd tell you about it.

-She uses a lot of complete sentences when she talks. It's amazing really. She can tell us SO MUCH more and I know whats going on in her head more than I could before.

-Sesame street is still her #1 TV show. Her favorite characters are Abby, Elmo, and Big Bird (which is surprising because he's NEVER on.) but Clifford runs a close second.

-She's eating better again. Still picky at times and always wants noodles, but is eating more of a variety of foods and will try a lot more (unless it's meat. She still completely refuses that.) A new favorite food-donuts. Yep, we're purely healthy eaters here.

-She knows all her primary colors now-she'll say green, black, brown, and white now too!

-She LOVES to play with Mommy's hair and make her pretty.

-She knows a lot of animal sounds-dog, cat, bear, tiger, elephant (it's the cutest), bird, horse, cow, frog, sheep, duck, monkey

-She's started to 'wipe off' kisses from Mommy and Daddy so we'll chase her and give her more.

-She copies EVERYTHING we do. Including prenatal yoga.
-She loves to color, finger paint, and play with stickers.
-Stickers, again. We both had to wear them on our noses.
-She throws fits and always has to separate herself. It's honestly really funny-I know I probably shouldn't think it's funny, but I do. She gets mad about something and sprints into the other room, finds somewhere (on this particular day, it was a folded blanket on the floor. yesterday, it was the bottom step) to throw her body on. Once she's there, she screams for a minute, buries her head in the floor, then calmly gets up, walks back to play, and is fine. She doesn't need my intervention to calm down, doesn't scream or hit at us, she just runs away.
