say what?

It's been way too long since I've done a Say What? post!  Now that we've settled in and Addi is used to Halle being around, she's really started helping us out so much!  Here are some of her funny comments lately...

"Sally Halle" - right before Halle was born, Addison started saying "sally" instead of "silly".  We thought it was funny because it rhymed with Halle and now that's one of the nicknames that's stuck.  Sally Halle!

"Mama, can we borrow a mermaid dress from Target?" - A little girl in Addison's class had a Little Mermaid dress at school and Addi desperately wanted one too.  I guess she thought if she askee me to buy one, the answer would be no, so she just asked if we could borrow one...from Target.

"Brown bear, brown bear what are you looking at?" - I overheard her reading Eric Carle's "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?" book to Halle but she kept saying "What are you looking at?" instead.  It was pretty commical because she added a little attitude while she was reading.

"Mama, is she poopy...AGAIN???" - we hear this comment at lease 12 times a day now.  She thinks it's hysterical that Halle poops so much and is fascinated with the diaper changing process.  Of course, she always has to look at the poop and then tell me how "ooey" it is!

"Hey Soul Sister, it's okay.  Don't cry." - When riding in the car, one of our favorite songs to hear is Soul Sister.  When coming home from school one day, I overheard Addi say this to Halle when she started to cry.

"I'm here sweetheart.  It's okay." - I love hearing her say things that I say to Halle.  When Halle was getting upset, this is what she whispered to her and kissed her forehead.  So sweet!

"Her eyes are OPEN!!!!" - In addition to loving Halle's poop, Addison also loves it when Halle's eyes are open!  She screams it at the top of her lungs so everyone in the house knows "Her eyes are OPEN!!!!"

"Daddy!  There's a hot dog inside here!!" - We recently ordered Addison a corndog for lunch at a restaurant (and she's had them before) but this time when I cut the tip off so it could cool, she squeeled with excitement "Daddy! There's a hot dog inside here!!"  It was definitely loud enough for the entire section we were sitting in to hear and we saw some grins and heard some chuckles!

I try my hardest to jot down the funny things that Addi says so I won't forget them, but lately it has been so hard because she has been saying so many funny things!  Here are some of my favorites that I definitely don't want to forget...ever.

"help my two" - when she wants me to help her hold up two fingers.  She has finally mastered two on her own, but she holds up her ring finger and her middle finger.  It seems much harder than the traditional two fingers, but she's proud and that's all that matters!

"right now" - yep, it's just how it sounds.  As in, "I want milk right now" or "I want to watch Cinderella right now".  This little thing can be quite demanding!

"is that a deal, mama?" - guess who taught her to make deals...not me!  Her daddy is always making deals with her.  Yesterday on the way to school Addi wanted me to roll down her window.  It was a little too chilly for that so I told her on the way home that afternoon we would.  She asked me if we had a deal.  Oh brother!

"I put my toots in the potty, mama!" - well this one is pretty much self explanatory!  At least she was proud of it!

"I mind my potty business today!" and "I do good potty work today!" - two great ones that will probably be said around our house for a very long time!

"No more buggies on my teeth, mama!" (as she flashes a huge grin) - she didn't want to brush her teeth one day so I told her there were tiny bugs on her teeth and that's why we had to brush them.  She immediately ran to the bathroom and asked me to help her brush them away.  This also worked well for explaining why we can't swallow the toothpaste.  Now she spits all of the toothpaste (and bugs) into the sink.  Hey, it worked didn't it?  Don't judge me!  Even my pediatrician said it was genius!! Scott said he didn't agree with this parenting choice I made, but we're going with it!

What a funny girl with an equally funny personality!

Here are some of Addi's pronunciations:

"Strawbee" - strawberry


"Isa-doin" - what you doing

"Ee go" - here you go


And here are a few sayings of hers lately:
"No white and the wittle guys" - Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs

"Um...maybe"

"I want too much" - when she wants a lot of something or when she wants more

"I told you so"

"Mama, here are your choices"

"I want another else" - I want something else

Oh the things that a 2 year old will say!! Thanks so much Addi for always keeping us on our toes and for always keeping a smile on our faces!

Mama rock me (before bed) - "Mama wock you"

We are all here and doing well!  My computer is "sick" so I haven't been able to post in a few days.  Hopefully I will get it back soon because I have lots to blog about!!

It's been a whirlwind since Addi's birthday party, but I think life is beginning to slow down just a bit.  The day of her party, we also had the Fall Festival at her school and an OU watch party at our house that night (Go Sooners!).  The next day was her actual birthday so we continued our celebration.  Last Wednesday was my birthday (it was a big one, but it didn't end in zero!) and Scott surprised me with dinner at Legend's with my family.  It was such a fun night.  After dinner I had to get Addi and myself packed because Thursday morning I was headed Southboud-35 for OU Texas!!  Addi stayed with my in-laws and Scott met me in Dallas.  We had a great weekend and the Sooner victory made it even better!  We got home late on Sunday and have been in recovery mode ever since!  Whew! Just typing it all made me tired!

Last week before I left, I got the pictures back from my friend, Misty Cate, who took pictures at Addi's birthday party.  They are amazing!  You can go to her blog HERE to get a sneak peek!  I can't wait to share them all with you!  Of the over 500 pictures she took, I have it narrowed down to my top 124!  That was not easy, let me tell you.  I also have a few How-To's coming up on some of the details from her party...stay tuned!

For now, I thought I'd document a few of Addi's sayings right now.  She definitely all TWO!  She's always been right on track, but this was incredible!  Two days before her party she started rolling her eyes at me!  Excuse me?  Are you kidding, you might ask.  NO!  Seriously...rolling her eyes!  She only does it to me though, no one else.  Should I take that as a compliment?  The day after her real birthday, she asked me "Why?" no less than 20 times!  She's never said that word before in her life, but it was like once she turned two she knew she was supposed to ask that question.  I think I should take my cue and buckle up...she may send me on a crazy ride!

School bus - be-bus
Ooh la la - A-lala (this is what she says when she puts on her sunglasses...thanks Lulu!)
I help you - I help me
I hold it - I hode it (we hear this one A LOT!!!)
Rojo (red in Spanish...pronounced roho) - ho ho
Loud - youd
Kangaroo - rara-roo
Flamingo - ningo
I do it - MY DO IT!

"My do it" is probalby going to be a phrase used in the Hofmann house for years to come!  When I was little I would always say "I do it my byself" instead of "by myself".  It's one of those things that's stuck and my parents still say it to this day.  "My do it" will probalby be the say way!

Sorry for a lot of writing and no pictures...as soon as my computer is back up and running I will be posting away!

So Addi is starting to say some really fun things these days!  I wish I could just carry around a little tape recorder with me all the times because when we try to get her on video saying things, she clams up!  In an effort to keep track of her funny "Addi-isms", I thought I'd start blogging about them! 

I know I've mentioned here before that one of the reasons I started blogging is to document our family happenings.  I don't journal or scrapbook so this is my attempt to keep track of what we've done.  According to Addi's babybook, she's still 3 months old!  I know, mother of the year, right here!
