HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
We are celebrating tomorrow. Brandon has been doing a job for his dad and has not been getting home until late. Tonight was no exception. The girls and I shared a nice dinner together...nothing great just mash potatoes and peas. I know all of you are thinking yum...yum. But it was quick and Brynn will actually eat this. Hopefully my dinner will be better tomorrow.
Brandon and I will have a date night!! We have not had one in awhile. I think we both need some time ALONE together. The girls are spending the night with Mimi. Our plans....dinner...and of course the $2 movies. PS I Love You is playing which I am sure Brandon will not want to see but it is for Valentine's and I think a sappy love story is appropriate.
Brynn had her party at school yesterday...an ice cream party. The kids enjoyed the chocolate and "banilla" ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles. They also had a cherry on top, which none of the kids ate. After ice cream each child handed out their cards/candy. A little boy, Seth, was very excited with one of his gifts. He said,"Look!!! I got seeds!!! Ms. Jennie, I got SEEDS!" The seeds, of course, were not seeds at all, just Nerds. I thought it was quite funny. They were all so cute.
Instead of giving candy, Brynn and I made heart shaped crayons as her Valentine's gift. She was so excited to give all her friends a heart.
A funny thing happened with one of the hearts. Ms Jennie told me after the party one of the mother's was in the classroom opening her son's gifts. She opened Brynn's gift and took a bite out of it! Ms. Jennie said she couldn't get the words out fast enough to tell her it was a crayon. I couldn't believe it...how could someone think this was food. It clearly had the crayon smell. This poor women had to feel a little...probably alot...stupid. I guess next year we will have to attach a warning : WARNING!!! DO NOT EAT!!!
My, my how she has grown...so fast in such a short time. She is doing so many new things. She finally can roll over both ways. She mastered from belly to back in no time...it was back to belly that caused the trouble. By now, she is a pro at sitting up. She doesn't tumble over very often. She is trying desperately to crawl...her feet and legs are kicking, pushing, and squirming but those poor arms of hers just will not move. 
She is becoming a little person with a personality totally different than her sister. She is much more needy than Brynn ever was. She NEEDS to see and/or hear someone constantly. She is a cuddlier which I love!!! But she does have 1 common trait with Brynn....the temper. We will be working a that!!
This morning Addie was laying in the bed with us talking away when she said,"Da Da"!!! Her 1st word....well not really but I was very excited. It was very clear and she kept saying it over and over. Hopefully soon she will be able to put 2 and 2 together....Da Da = Brandon. 
The 1st 6 months of her life have been amazing! I am soooo looking forward to the next 6!!!....but I am definately not rushing them!!!
