Long overdue update!

Addie eating a salad! Ha Greg!

Wow, I can't believe that it has been almost 3 months since I posted last! Well, it's the hottest summer we've had here in Tulsa in like 60 years. Been over 100 degrees for about a week now and it stinks! We got our deck built (thanks Dad and Ryan) and had a Dominos pizza party last week. It as really fun! Greg and I celebrated our ten year anniversary June 8. We went out to dinner and Barnes and Noble to buy Addie books and her first Bible! My how times have changed! We had two trips to Dallas in less than 3 weeks and went to a Dr. Pepper festival in Dublin, Texas.

Addie is getting so big and when I put her on the scale today she weighed 26 lbs .... who knows how accurate that is with all of her wiggling! She is talking up a storm, most of it is in her own language but she is certainly saying more words and loves to sign "more", which her mi-mi taught her! She is such a character and is so fun. As a matter of fact she is in her bed right now having a conversation with herself and I just heard her say "no". Mind you, she's been in there for almost thirty minutes now!

Addie had a big first today....she used the potty for the first time!!!! We bought a princess potty today that makes sounds when something is deposited...he he....we debated getting her one like this because I've read kids can sometimes be scared but she loved pushing the test button in the store so we thought we would try it out.

All day we had the potty sitting out, saying potty, Addie goes potty, etc. Before her bath I sat her on it and she wasn't interested. I put her in the tub and after only a few minutes into it she pointed at her potty and said "potty" and tried to climb out of the tub, which isnt like her, she love sher bath time. I get her out and sit her on it and she immediately stands up and potties. I sit her back down and enough went in that the sound went off!!! I cheered and she signed and said "More". She clapped and was equally thrilled - I think it's because I was so excitied!

Greg got home a few seconds later and he came in and she was still showing off and trying to figure out how to make the potty go off again.

Now, I know this is probably a fluke but it was a really cute first time potty story. It's so unbelievable that my baby is getting into that potty phase.
