Future Singer Perhaps?

and yes i forgot the words to a simple kids song. luckily Kyle was there to point it out :P

1 1/2 years old!

Well I now have a 1 1/2 yr old *tear* She's getting SO big! She's learing new words every day, doing something new every day, getting into more trouble every day-we have officially started to use the "corner" as time out. She's actually pretty good with it *knock on wood*!



Words she's saying now:
mom, dad, dog, duck, cory, stewart, ro-ro (romeo), shorty, nana, papa, grandma, mamaw, grammie, grandpa, bear, audrey, cheese, goldfish, please, cup, juice, more, eyes, notebook (blues clues) toodles (mickey mouse), stop, down, bad dog, be-be (aunt britty), baby, beep beep, night night, bye, hi,

Animals she can identify and/or knows the sound of:
dog, cat, horse, cow, duck, monkey, dolphin, turtle, bird, pig, sheep/lamb, tiger, bear, fish, hippo,

Can identify these body parts:
head, hair, ear, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, hands, fingers, arms, belly/belly button, butt, leg and toes.

Eats anything that isn't green.

Loves to play outside/in the pool. She has better tan than any adult I know!




Her best friend, besides me of course, is Bear.



Her favorite shows are Blue's Clues, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Wonder Pets, Handy Manny and Imagination Movers.

She's starting to get into the Disney Pixar movies. So far we've got Shrek and Nemo on repeat. I want to get Sharks' Tale, Up!, things like that. We watched Wall-E and she didn't like it :(

For some reason, and I'm not sure where she gets this from *total sarcasm there* she love popsicles, ice cream, cookies, chocolate anything sweet. Should probably have a talk with whoever passed that gene down to her :P



I really can not believe that I have a 1 1/2 year old. 6 more months and she'll be 2! 2!! Can you believe it?! Oh man, where does the time go? I'm hoping to put her in swim lessons this summer at the YMCA because she's such a water baby and maybe tumbling this fall/winter.

The next 6 months are going to fly by, I should probably start planning her party :)

Thursday Five

To play..Just post 5 things that have made you..

Happy

Delighted

Grateful

Totally Stoked

or

Thankful

1--I'm very happy to be off tomorrow. I've got a play date set up for Addi at Bellaboo's and then we'll come home and do some girly things. Like paint our nails, watching trashy, I mean educational, tv, and depending on weather play outside. I don't do well with 90 degrees and 100% humidity. This momma likes air conditioning!

2-I am delighted to be invited to all these 4th of July parties. It seems that the last couple years Kyle and I have had to invite our selves places--not the case this year. So far I think we have 3 to go to. Not to mention the Portage parade that I'm in and my mom's birthday...ugh I'm getting stressed just thinking about it!

3-I'm grateful that no trees/limbs fell in our yard/house/car over the past week with all the storms. I was really worried last night coming home from the Y. All the kids were taken into the torando shelter while the mommies were bustin' our butts at Zumba. No one was hurt (that I know of) which is beyond amazing!

4-I'm totally stoked about our upcomming vacation. 2 weeks!!! AHHHHH!! I feel like I"ve got so much planning to do. Our hotel is booked, and really, that's all that matters. Nothing really needs to be reserved up there so I think we're just flying by the seat of our pants. We don't want to be jammed packed with things to do, just relax and enjoy our baby free time together.

5- Again, I'm thankful that no trees fell on my house/yard/car. Or any else's that I know of. We only lost power and attempted to stay at my dads house last night. That didn't work out so we came back here. It was a late night for Addi but she slept in. It also wasn't a million degrees out, which is another plus. I love sleeping with the windows open and fans going.

Door County, WI

Our 1 year wedding anniversary is quickly approaching and we've decided to go to Door County, WI for a nice romantic/relaxing vacation. We haven't been on a vacation since Nashville 5 years ago. I can not wait! I don't remember what it is like to sleep in so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself!

We are staying at the Ashbrooke Hotel (NO kids allowed!!) and staying in THIS room. Yes I know it will be the middle of July and who needs a fireplace, but the whirlpool is a must!

We are also either doing a guided winery tour or the ghost tour. Check out everything they have here. The winery tour is 5 hours (10am-3pm) which is right in the middle of the day. We haven't decided if we're going to do that or just go to the wineries ourselves. But I'd really like to do one of the "Ghost Tours" because I'm a sucker for ghost stories, yet HATE haunted houses. Go figure!

We are also getting a couples massage IN OUR HOTEL ROOM :) Can't wait! I haven't had a massage since addi was 6 weeks old!

And we're checking out the lighthouses.....and going to a nice dinner....and doing the tourist thing...Kyle has to plan something for us to do since I'm doing the winery tour for him (I HATE wine, but he loves it...)
