Happy Happy Birthday Addison Dear
I can't believe that we're parents of a 2-year-old! If that doesn't make you feel old, I don't know what will. Addison had a great birthday yesterday and was cheerful and excited about it, despite skipping out on his nap (which he's done a little too often for Mommy's tastes lately). He is such an energetic, loving, fun little guy. It seems like just yesterday we braved a blizzard early in the morning to get to the hospital. . .
About 1 year old
2 years old!
Addison's 2-year-old resume:
He and Daddy practiced blowing out the candles several times before the actual event. And Daddy got to be home all day, by the way!
Monkey George cake minus an eye
His very own Monkey George made by Mommy
The loot - we went with a couple Curious George things and let grandparents go nuts for the rest.
First day
About 1 year old
2 years old!
Mad Skills: counting, reading all letters except J and Q, colors, a couple shapes, talking (several words together), uncanny sense of direction (remembers landmarks such as snowmen, tractors, horses, and gas stations like you wouldn't believe).
Favorite drink: milk (pronounced "molk)
Favorite activities: nursery, playing outside, playing in the loft (pronounced "woff"), reading, markers, bringing the trash can in from the road with Mommy (no idea why), hide and seek.
Favorite movies: Nemo and "Pacha" (Emperor's New Groove)
Loves: "Monkey George," Daddy, his blanket, pushing toy people around in his little dump truck, sucking his thumb, grandparents, cake, m&m's, Bryn, playing with water in the sink.
Favorite songs: Jesus Came to John the Baptist, Pop Goes My Heart, and "March Song" (A Young Man Prepared).

"I can't believe that we're parents of a 2-year-old! If that doesn't make you feel old, I don't know what will." How about having 2 kids???
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie. I can't believe all he can do! Very impressive.
And Pop Goes My Heart??? Like from Music and Lyrics? Because that would rock my world.
I am highly, highly impressed by the cake decorating skills!!
ReplyDeleteGood point, Lisa. Hadn't thought of that one. And yes, from Music and Lyrics. Awesome kid.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Addison! We happen to think that you are a super cute and very funny kid. Great job with the hand-crafted Curious Georges:o) Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteWow! The cake is amazing! Great job! I can't believe how old he is now. He really is such a smarty-pants. The monkey you made is so so adorable!
