Here we are more than halfway through May and I haven’t updated. We have been beyond busy and things are not slowing down anytime soon.
Since our last post we have had birthdays, prom, new words, a wedding, bumps and bruises, and a visit to the dentist. Wow how time has flown by! Addilynn is talking so much more now and since her surgery more and more people are able to understand her. Her surgery has been a huge help and we are so glad we did it. For about two weeks after we were sure it didn’t work but then like the snap of a finger she was a different baby. She is now eating like a hog and sleeping like a baby again! She continues to amaze us everyday and the things she says leave us speechless or laughing most of the time. We have been battling the “shut up” word which she is not allowed to say. She knows it, but she still tries to say it to make sure I’m paying attention to her. Tonight she told me to “zip it mom” and she loves to sing songs and read books. She has most of her books memorized and after I read them she says “my turn” so she can read them next. I love the little toddler she is and I can’t wait to see all the adventures she will take us on. Here are a few pictures from this month.

Gymnastics… one of Addilynn’s favorite activities she asks to go to “nastics” and see Dani almost every night.
Poppy’s Birthday Party 5/4/11
Thursday Addilynn got to experience her first prophy! It started as an orientation to get her ready for the next step of cleaning her teeth, but then quickly became the “real deal” She did great. It may have had something to do with the fact her mommy got to clean her teeth and she knows Dr. Kelly pretty well too! She knew how to use the suction, let me polish her teeth, and let Dr. do her exam. She has an unfair advantage, but I was still the proudest hygiene mommy in the world at that moment!
