Happy June!

I cannot believe it's June already! That means our precious little girl will be ONE soon. Yikes! I definitely now know why everyone says, "it goes by so fast!"

I know you all like to see pictures, but I haven't downloaded the latest yet, so you'll just have to listen to my stories and hope that I post a new picture soon. :)

Addison is very close to walking. She loves to move (which I've known since her days in the womb) and will often come over, grab our fingers and take off. And then whines when there's nowhere else to explore.

One of her favorite places to hang out is under the dining room table. Brad doesn't like it because she's tall enough now that she "bonks" (one of her favorite things to do) her head on the table. But she'll play under and around the table and chairs for several minutes and be perfectly happy. When I was younger, my brother and I had an indoor "fort" that we played in a lot. It was like a big table cloth that was made to fit over the card table and went all the way to the ground. I think Addie would like that. (mom, is that around?!) :) Oh, and the "bonk" is all thanks to her grandpa, who decided to teach her how to "bonk." So if you say the word "bonk," she will lean forward and bonk foreheads with you.

And one of Addie's newest things she loves is closing doors. Energy efficient I suppose. However, it took me twenty minutes to put groceries away because she kept shutting the refrigerator and pantry doors. I went out with same gals last night and Brad said while I was gone he sent Addie on a wild goose chase. He would open doors around the kitchen and she'd crawl over and close each one. I wonder what else they do while I'm gone?! :)

I hope everyone enjoys the summer. Thanks for all the well wishes for the next baby coming.

too funny! my husband's dad taught our daughter how to "head-butt". so if we say, "cora, do you want to head butt?" she will lean forward and "bonk" heads! grandpa's must be good like that. haha!
