i dig it

We have a few bare spots in the front yard and Addi has found that she likes to dig in the dirt.

But even more than digging in the dirt, she likes to sweep up her mess.  Imagine that. 

She seriously scoops up the dirt, pours it on the driveway and then sweeps it back into the grass.  Is that bad the she creates messes just so she can clean them up? 




She is a very

 busy

little girl

diaper girl

Addi loves spending time in just her diaper before bed. She also loves to read to herself now.  I couldn't resist these sweet pictures of her entertaining herself!



She is also REALLY in to music and dancing!  She loads the CD player by herself and turns it on! 

And then she DANCES!!!  Check out her moves!! 



The best way to wind down before jammies and bedtime?
Rocking and reading! 


Time for jammies and bed...

Except when she wears her "balla-nina" jammies they make her want to dance some more! 

And turn her music back on!


To get her mind off dancing, Scott shows her some juggling moves... 

But she's not impressed. 

She pulls out another book instead. 

She absolutely loves her Hallmark books that are recorded!  We have several and she gets them out all the time!  They really make a great gift! 


One way or another we get her wound down and put to bed.  But it's not easy!

trike

Addi has been loving this:

Her new trike from Uncle Trevor & Aunt Jackie.  Our evenings are getting shorter with each passing day and we're spending as much time as we can outside.  The afternoons are still warm, but the mornings are crisp and the evenings cool.  Fall is definitely here. 

She doesn't quite have the whole "pedal to make it go" thing down yet, but it's a really great place to sit while she blows her bubbles. 

 

But why learn to pedal when you have an awesome daddy to push you?  Can't say that I blame her! 

According to Scott, it's back-breaking work, though, so he's trying to teach her to pedal by herself... 

But she still chooses him! 

Our silly girl has also been loving to dance....no music required. 

And look at our sweet Bailey Bear.  She's also been loving the nice weather.  There's nothing like sitting in the yard until dark with your family. 

Look at how sweet they are together!

Hugs & Kisses! 




On a different note, I really need suggestions on what to do with Addi's hair!  She refuses to wear anything in her hair 99% of the time and it just hangs in her face.  I try to keep it combed to the side, but that just doesn't last. Any thoughts??  I've tried bribes...they don't work!
