Happy Father's Day!

I think Tyler had a pretty enjoyable Father's Day, I hope so anyway! :) We just did the regular Sunday stuff and I made him dinner and Addy and I gave him cards and presents. I am so lucky to have married an amazing man! He is so wonderful with Addy. I love watching him play on the floor with her and give her the attention that she craves when he gets home from school.
Over the past few weeks, I try to say prayers with Addy before bed (I forget a lot!). Tonight, Tyler was putting her to bed and got her all tucked in with everything that she needs to fall asleep: 3 binkies, 1 for her mouth and 1 for each hand, Elmo and her elephant, and her blanket. As he was saying goodnight she whispered "prayer?". She then got out of bed and knelt down with her daddy and said her prayers. I am so grateful for these small glimpses of her faith. She is only 2, but she has already taught us so much! It's nice to know that we are doing something right with her! I am grateful to have a witness of the faith of a little child in my life everyday. Tyler and I got really lucky with such a wonderful daughter!

More Birthdays!

Monday was mine and Tyler's birthday. Having the same birthday has its ups and downs, but I really enjoyed it this year! We celebrated by going out Saturday night. We went to Typhoon (great curry!) and went and saw X-Men. It was a fun date and I really enjoyed spending the time with Tyler. On Monday, one of my amazing friends took Addy and me out for lunch. It was delicious and the company was even better! Tyler's mom called and said that she had ordered a cake for us, so neither of us had to make one. I was SO excited! Tyler and I both got to blow out candles and the cake was amazingly delicious and rich! So good! Tyler had the privilege of blowing out 28 candles, and I had 25 candles on my cake. We went out to Olive Garden courtesy of my parents (thanks Mom and Dad!). That was a nice treat because I didn't have to cook either! I got a bike for my birthday and Tyler got a new grill and some sweet golf pants. We appreciated all the birthday wishes and love that was sent our way! I guess the one good thing about having all the birthdays in our little family within 4 days of each other is that we're done for the rest of the year!

2 Years Old!

She is growing so fast! Just in the past couple days I have noticed that she is speaking in full sentences more and more. She is very opinionated and when something doesn't go her way she will let you know! We had her 2 year checkup last week. She is up to date on all her immunizations after only one shot.
Addy's Stats:

Weight: 26.6 lbs 50th percentile
Height: 33.5 in 41st percentile
Head: 19.4 in 89th percentile

She's healthy! I feel so blessed to have such a healthy little girl. She's generally super happy and so much fun to be around!
Here's what she's up to:

~can count to twenty, with a little assistance
~knows a lot of her shapes (octagon, pentagon, circle, triangle, square, trapezoid, rectangle, oval, diamond)
~still has to have 2 binkies
~when she wakes up she'll say "good nap! all done nap"
~she is super brave and wants to do what all the big kids are doing
~loves playing at the park and going to friends houses to play

Happy Birthday Addelyn Nicole!

2 years! It does not feel like it has already been 2 years since Addy was born. It feels like just yesterday, but at the same time feels like she has been with us for longer than 2 years. We love her! She is so much fun and cracks us up! She loved being the center of attention for her birthday. She loved opening her presents and blowing out her candles. We had Alexa over for dinner, cake, and ice cream. They just played the whole time and had a blast. Addy totally knew what to do with the candles and blew them out on the second try! Addy got a few puzzles for her birthday, an elmo doll, a sing-a-ma-jig, clothes, and some toys.

Utah!

Addy and I seized the opportunity to go to Utah one last time before she could no longer fly for free. From now on, we will be driving. Addy loved the fact that we were going on an airplane and was so excited to see her Nana and Papa R and Aunts and Uncles. We had a great time swimming, getting a tan/sunburn, playing games, dancing, opening presents, and getting lots of attention.

Children's Museum

Today was rainy and gross, so we went over to the Children's Museum. Danielle and Alexa met us there and the girls had a blast! Addy was so excited that Curious George was there. It was fun to watch them. Addy had a great time... I think it was because she had free reign of the place. She didn't have to hold my hand or really listen to me at all the whole time we were there. Everything she did was on her terms! It was a nice little break for me. She has been a terror the past few days. :)

Funny story about Curious George... Addy got up on the bench to sit next to him. I asked her to give him a hug so I could take her picture. Well, she got close to him and then held out her shirt to him... or something. It was really funny, so Danielle and I started laughing at her. She gave us the dirtiest look and looked really hurt that we were laughing at her. You can kind of tell by the expression on her face in the picture.
