My little toddler

Addie is finally walking! She has taken a few steps a day for a long time now, but over the weekend she really started taking off. When she has a toy in hand she will take up to 40 steps at a time. It is so funny watching her walk, she is still so tiny! We wear her out getting her to walk to each of us, but she is so proud of herself.

Addie keeps me going. She nods yes and no now for what she wants to eat or not. She loves to talk on the phone and does so ALL the time. If you leave your phone anywhere near her, she grabs it, pushes a few buttons, then starts walking around with it up to her ear, chattering away. We have to call Grandma and Aunt Katie every day so Addie can chat, she loves to have someone talking to her on the other line. She tells me all kinds of things all day, though I understand very little of it. She loves to draw and gets VERY mad when you take her pen away. Mom gave her a pen and paper during RS. Addie wanted to walk around with the pen once she was done scribbling, so Mom took it away from her, afraid she'd fall and hurt herself. Addie threw herself down on her stomach and started crying and I quickly yanked her outside and gave her a talking to. She obviously has hit the terrible twos a year early. Oh the joys of an independent (or so she thinks) little girl!
Addie's SO over me taking her picture...

It is just the most amazing thing when they start walking. Yay Addie!!

Noah hit his terrible two's way early too. He wants to do everything himself and wants to do everything he wants to do, when he wants to do it. I guess this is when the real "parenting" begins. Good luck!
