Addy has turned into a little big girl OVERNIGHT I tell you!

I don't know why this shocks Bruce and I so much...maybe it's her size...at her 18 month checkup (that she just went to at 20 months...SUCKY MOM award right here!) she weighed in at 21lbs...she's only in the 5th percentile for weight, and 25th percentile for height and head circumference. Just for a little comparison (breaking out Chase's "stats") Chase was 21 lbs at 6 months...at 18 months he was 30 lbs and 95th percentile for everything...BEAST!

She is talking so much sooner and better than Chase did...I don't know if it's a girl thing or a second child thing...but homegirl can talk...in sentences.

All of a sudden at the park, Addy has no fear, walks up the steps to the slide herself, and then hurls herself down the slide as fast as she can. As soon as she gets to the bottom, she scoots off herself, and runs right back around to do it again. Maybe we babied Chase too much at that age? I don't know...it's just amazing to see how much more agile Addy is. Here are a few pictures from a walk around the lake and park this weekend...check out her "track suit"...she was stylin ;o)

Lookout below!!!
Addy LOVES animals and is obsessed with her "Chachis" (the horses and burrows that my mom takes care of) Chachi is the name of one of the burrows...Say hi to Chachi:but she likes to call them all that. She knows all of their names though, and says horse, etc...so I'm not sure why she's hung up on Chachis...it's cute though. This AM I took them up to the barn for a visit. Here she is peeking through the gate watching Chase help my mom

I love this picture of her
Here she is eating the piece of apple that was meant for her buddy :o)And here she is trying to feed it to one of them...she freaks out last minute and pulls away...we're working on that ;o)
