The hilariousness that is Addie

I told Addie to smile for a picture....these are what I got.....


She's just so photogenic...
Maggie gets to sit on Addie's lap, which is better than Addie riding Maggie

Addie has been talking up a storm and she cracks me up. Her newest additions are, "I can't do it" and "Addie do it." She is very independent and loves to do things herself; she has also gotten to an age where she gets frustrated if she can't get it. This mostly applies to putting the collar on Maggie. We've had to take her collar off because Addie is constantly dragging her around if we leave it on. So she loves trying to put the collar on. She will say "I can't do it" fairly calmly and then right after "I CAN'T DOO IT" in a very exasperated voice. It's hilarious. She will also say, "sorry mom" or "sorry Maggie" since she is constantly doing something to her. She will also say, "Maggie crying" after she has been mean to her. She is getting better at being gentle, you can tell that sometimes she just needs to squeeze her. I have a feeling we will really need to watch her with the baby brother.

We potty trained Addie last week and it has been an adventure. The method we used is the 3 day potty training but honestly it's been more like a week for us. After three days I was feeling like maybe potty training before the baby was a bad idea, then she had a few great days and the last couple were a bit rough again. Today she has been great. She needs to be reminded to go and while she was a champ at pooping in the toilet the first half, we have struggle a bit the last several days. She looks so cute in her big girl panties and she loves being able to show people that she can go in the big girl potty. We have utilized Maggie's help too. Addie loves to go in front of Maggie, she seriously loves that dog. I hope Maggie doesn't have a heart attack when she realizes we're bringing home another one.
