ADDIE

Our little Loula Bean is about 19 months old. She has lots of hair for pig tails that curl right under, but her hair doesn't seem to grow on top. People keep telling me if I cut the hair it will start to grow faster, but there is nothing there to cut! She loves all things girlie...shoes, makeup (she pretends to use mine), headbands, necklaces, etc. Jack is actually getting her to be interested in trains too. She loves to go with us to the depot to watch trains go by. She waves and squeals and says, "Hi cwane!" She'll walk around the house saying,"All aboard, woo woo." She is in to everything! The bathroom and bedroom doors are locked at all times. She likes to read books more now. She used to just run around while we read with Jack. Now she'll sit for some of it, and bring us books that she wants to read. She is a little daredevil at the park. She thinks she can do whatever the big kids do. It scares me a little. I'm trying really hard to let her try things out because I think I held Jack back a little bit, but sometimes its really hard to watch without freaking out.

Addie's words:

-Addie want nana

-(about Grammy going bye bye to TX) No bye texas!

-whenever she wants Eric, she'll say, Help my daddy.

-when she wants something you have she'll say, Addie's now, Addie wants, or Addie one (she says please too, but she has to be reminded)

-she can say anything you ask her to say, and she WILL repeat anything you don't want her to.

-My favorites are: bless you, love you (which sounds more like ya oo), taste you drink (i like when she uses 'sentences')
