Some Addie Stats

Addison seems to be turning into a little girl more and more each day. It's really cool! ... and sad too. Bye bye baby stage, hello toddler stage!

She loves to sign and loves watching "Baby Signing Time." Paul and I started counting all the different signs she has done and it adds up to over 40! Here are the signs she knows:

signs:
cat, dog, bird, frog, horse, fish, bear, milk, more, banana, water, eat, all done, ball, car, train, boat, airplane, bus, shoes, coat, socks, hat, brush teeth, wash hands, bath, rain, sun, outside, grass, please, thank you, sorry, hot, cold, star, moon, baby, baby signing time, bug, stop, go, bubble, book, grandma

Addison has not really said anything perfectly clear, except "Mama," "Dada," "Bubble," "Bye Buh," and sometimes "dog," but does try to say a few words. One time I heard "more" perfectly clear but haven't since then. I think she is somewhat understandable for most words, but I live with her.

says:
car
bus
bye bye
outside
ball
mama
dada
more
dog
grass (like "grah")
kitty cat
bubble
book
milk

When asked about body parts, Addison can point to:
nose
mouth
head
ear
teeth
belly button (this one is her favorite... mine too)
feet / toes

Addison's best new trick is trying to burp on command. She burped once really big and we all started laughing. Ever since then, she grunts really loud to try and burp when she's eating. If you ask her "Can you burp?" she immediately tries and grunts. This was completely reinforced after my mom and dad (GG and Gramps) came to babysit her on Saturday. My mom thought it was hilarious and now Addie does too! (It made for a very funny weekend!)

Addie's favorite "things" and what she most loves to play with or look at are; BOOKS, animals, trucks, cars, airplanes, and really vehicle that moves! She will give her dolls a kiss on command, and carries around her Elmo doll. However, books, animals and vehicles are by far her favorites.
