Addi's first birthday

Addi got lots of good things for her birthday.

Also Addison's future husband was born 1 year and 13 minutes apart from her. Their neighbor had a little boy on her birthday and they are very excited!

Tyler and Ryan

Tyler and Ryan are a couple of kids that i babysit that I have never talked about on here. I started watching Tyler when he was about 7 or 8 months old. He is a handsome 3 1/2 year old now. He now has a sister Ryan that is about 8 months and has red hair and bright blue eyes. I've only got to watch her a couple times so far but she is a sweetie.

I watched them last Friday night. They put Ryan down to bed before they left but Tyler and I had a nice round of Chutes and Ladders with his meme and then we watched about half of Cars before it was bedtime. I really wish I had a picture of them to put on here, but i dont. I can't find any of my Tyler pictures I have. But I will try to get one when i watch them later this month.

say click. take a pic.

These Hulk hands were a gift from Josh for Christmas. They scared her pretty bad but lately she has been putting them on and saying "boom boom." She still wont let the voice box be on, but its a start.







she can pedal on her own now and she was carrying her monkey around.

plants

Himani and I grew some plants in her play room. Little did I know they would grow to get so big! I had her paint the first set of pots i got to replant them. Then they seemed to get even bigger so I had a craft book with some ideas how to paint pots and this is what she ended up with.


a penguin this is a polka dot plant



...and a chick and pig. the plant in the chick is a sensitive plant. it doesn't look very big b/c it shrivels up if you touch and breathe on it. The plant in the pig is lamb's ear

She really enjoys watering them and checking them out everyday when we go down there in the mornings.

Some things

Himani and I have been Skyping Josh and Hank lately. She loooooves talking to Hank over the computer. Its pretty funny Hank looks at the screen and turns his head side to side everytime we talk to him. The other day after we was done talking to Josh I saw my dad was on. I talk to my dad on there almost everyday. He's still not working and is pretty bored. I called him on that and Addi was over at my moms so Addi and HImani got to talk via Skype. I think they both really enjoyed it. Addi turns 1 next Wednesday. I will have pictures up from her birthday party that is this Saturday.

She has learned several things lately, main things; starting to tell what is left and right and counting to 20. Himani looooves counting.

Heres some pictures of just whatever from lately.


ive been teaching her to do some more silly faces. just what every girl needs to know


Addi loves standing at Lenny's cage and watching him when she comes over to my place. And she is also getting lots of teeth now. And her top 2 are gapped.


I love taking Hank places and he loves the AC in the car


Addi's new thing. Doing a head stand. I know its not the best of pictures but I was cracking up b/c she would crawl a bit then go into this.

Kid Scape

We checked out Kid scape last week. We got there and waited them to open. She had fun when it was only her. Kidscape is at the Johnson County Museum just down the street. It looks like a little city and they can go into the "buildings" that are set up and they can dress up, play with cars, play doctor, color, look at books, put on a play on there stage with curtains and costumes. She walked through all of it playing a little bit in each one and then she walked through the museum and by the time we got back to the Kidscape area there was tons of kids and she just stood there and looked at all of them. I was able to take a few pictures.



she put this hat on and said "Im like Boots! Boots hat" I am not sure if there is an episode of Dora and firefighters. I am sure there is but she has a book and he has a firefighter hat on.


She loved this tractor and she talked about it for the rest of the day.

Sweaty McSweats

This is how I usually find Himani when I wake her up at 3 from her nap.

today she was totally covered up. I walked in and I said Himani time to wake up. "Stephy, do you see me. Stephy do you see my head." I guess she was hiding from me and waiting for me to come find her.

And this is is how she looks when she comes out from underneath the blanket.

This picture really doesnt do justice to her hair. it drips with sweat. By now when she gets up from underneath the blanket she knows she is sweaty. "Stephy, Mani sweaty and sticky."
