Update on the Girls

Reese is 8 months and a few weeks (I am a little late with the blog) Reese loves to crawl around and explore. She thinks Addyson is the funniest person alive.
Things that are new: Reese got her first tooth, she pulls herself up to standing, she cruises the furniture, and she is starting to eat table food.

Likes: Her sister, musical toys that light up, crawling, and eating Mommy's keys, and swimming
Dislikes: sleeping throught the night.

Addyson is at such a fun stage, she amazes me every single day. One thing that always amazes me is how well she deals with the word "no" even as a baby we never used baby gates, because we would tell her "that's not a toy" and she would leave it alone. As she has grown she is still that way. 90% of the time if I say "no" to a toy or treat she says "ok" and puts it back. I am always waiting for a fit or argument but to my delight she puts it back.

What's new: Addy has become a great swimmer, she is no longer afraid of putting her face in the water. She starts soccer next week, she is a really fast runner, and Brandon has taught her to be a pretty good forward. She is doing great with her academics, she can write all her letters, her name and a few common words, she loves to color and actually stays in the lines, and she loves to paint. Ballet starts next month and Addy is excited to start dancing again.

We had to take a break from horse back riding, but she practices daily with her stick horse "Maximus".

Likes: Her little sister, All animals, running, painting, swimming and playing with friends, and dress up.

Dislikes: loud noises, walking, sleeping in past 6 am, and cleaning up her toys.

I feel so bleesed to be traveling Europe with my Honey and two wonderful children
