A day at the zoo

Today we took our first trip to the Hensen Robinson Zoo in Springfield. I think I can speak for both of us and say we had a really good time. She was fun to watch. We looked at goats, bears, monkeys, a horse and many other animals I don't remember. Before we went to the zoo I asked her what do you see at a zoo and she answered "frogs". I thought that was a pretty good answer, even though we didn't see any frogs today. I think her favorite part of our day was her trip to the playground. She is getting so grown up climbing the stairs and going down the slides all by herself.

After the zoo, we met Chris at Noodle and Co., one of the newest places to eat in Springfield. If you like macoroni and cheese I recommend it. Addison ate most of hers, so it must be really good. We had a great day. It makes me sad to think summer vacation is almost over...4 days to be exact.

So Sweet

When she is sleeping she is really quiet, but when she's not she is quite the talker. She is talking so well. It is fun. She can tell us about her day, what she wants and of course, what she doesn't what. Her are a few of her favorite things to say lately.....

Addison's getting bigger and bigger and bigger....

It's coming off...(her toenail polish)

I'm going to work...(As she rolls away on her tricycle).

I need help.

Hiding in the Corner

The other day I was in the kitchen doing something and didn't hear Addison playing. I went looking for her and found her sitting in the corner on the landing of our steps with my McDonald's cup. I had a moment of anxiety when I couldn't find her for a second. But once I did I had a big smile on my face. She looked so cute sitting there. I think she was trying to hide from me. She has been into hiding from us lately. She wouldn't win at hide and seek though. If you can't find her, or you are pretending not to find her, she tells you where she is hiding. She was hiding behind a tree outside and she eventually said, "behind the tree, behind the tree".
