Last Sunday, Navin, Addilyn, cousin Loryn, Allie, Raja (the dog) and I took a day trip up to Flagstaff to play in the snow. We thought by getting Addilyn some actual snow gear, she would actually enjoy playing in the snow. We were completely wrong and deep inside, we may have been a little disappointed. Our efforts to keep her warm and dry still had no effect on her desire to play in the snow. Even the sight of a pretty green sled did not evoke even the slightest sign of excitement. She wanted to be held the entire time. She watched as we took turns sledding down the short hill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As one of us had to be holding Addilyn, another had to be stuck with our crazy dog, Raja. We wanted to bring her with us because we thought it would be a fun adventure for her and she has enough fur to keep us all warm. Turns out, Raja has the very opposite opinion of snow from that of Addilyn's. She loved it. She ate it, rolled in it, dug holes and pretty much had the time of her life. She is wild and at times, we regretted bringing her. However, seeing her tail wag and her wet nose covered in white flakey snow, made me happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loryn is quite the daredevil. He had fun standing on the sled and trying to get Raja to pull him. He usually ended up tumbling into the snow and by the end, his clothes felt as if he had jumped into a pool. He made comments about what a wonderful time he was having and that made me happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was glad to have my sister along for the trip as well. I wish we could have sledded a little more together but with Addilyn whining and Raja escaping every five minutes, it made it difficult. Overall, I think it was a nice little getaway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loryn worked pretty hard to get Raja to pull him. He wasn't very successful. </div>

Sorry, Allie but I had to post this picture. I really like this picture because it reminds me of our mom. From what I remember, it seems like we have a lot of pictures of mom similar to this one. She is standing in beautiful scenery, freezing cold but kindly obliging dad's urges to take a picture before getting back to the warm car and her coffee. I think Allie looks really pretty here too.</div>

The day after Christmas, we embarked on a journey to my uncle's cabin. On the drive up, she would point out the window and yell "nose!" (That is snow in Addi-talk) We had visions or Addi running and jumping in the snow. Exploring the cold, fresh powder. Well, it turns out she absolutely hates it. She cried when we put her down and would not take one step in it. It was pretty dramatic. Although, I don't blame her. It was quite cold and wet. She did however, enjoy eating it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After some lunch at a wonderful sandwich shop with my aunt and uncle, we decided to take a walk. Addilyn begged for the stroller so we obliged. We didn't want to traumatize her even more. It was a peaceful walk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we got back to the cabin, we enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate while Addi ran around and ate a bowl of marshmallows. We played in the warm cabin for awhile and then it was time for our quick trip to end. It was nice visiting with my aunt and uncle and breathing in the fresh air. Hopefully, next time we can stay longer.</div>

I'm always late when it comes to updating but, I figure, it's better late than never.</div>

Christmas morning was an interesting one. Addilyn decided she wanted to wake up at 4am and be quite the grump. She was not too excited about her presents at first. She kept getting really frustrated but we finally got her to open a few. Daddy went back to bed while Addi and I watched <i>Monsters Inc.</i> She finally fell asleep in my arms on the couch so, I tried to lay there as long as possible. My urge to get up got the best of me so, I attempted to put her in her bed. That backfired! Navin went in to get her and play while I started breakfast. I made blueberry waffles, homemade syrup and potatoes. It was delicious! Later, Addi opened more presents from PopPop and Auntie and was in a better mood to play. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Addilyn finally took a nap and ended up sleeping for 3 hours! It was the best thing that could have happened. Allie and I made dinner while Addi slept. Then, Addi woke up, we all got all dressed up and we feasted. It ended up to be a wonderful day. Even though she was grumpy, it is great experiencing the holidays with a little one. I am looking forward to more Christmas celebrations with Addilyn (hopefully, they wont be starting at 4 am again). </div>

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. We had our traditional Christmas pasta dinner with PopPop and Auntie Allie. Addilyn did really well with the Christmas tree this year. She didn't touch it other than kissing the ornament we got for her. It was a wonderful and relaxing night. Here are some photos of our Christmas Eve:</div>

Now that Addilyn is older, the holidays are even more exciting. Experiencing it through her eyes is magical. She has become obsessed with Christmas lights. She is going to be sad when those go down. We did a few activities including going to see lights at various places. I love when she points and yells "wights!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She sure has been talking a lot more. She likes to label everything. Her little voice cracks me up.</div>

We live in the hot Arizona valley and don't get to experience much of a fall. The weather is still warm and the trees are greenish-brown. Don't get me wrong, I love this city and I am glad we don't get the crazy winter weather others experience but, sometimes I yearn to see those beautiful yellow, orange and red leaves covering the trees and the cool ground. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, this weekend, we decided to take a day trip up North to Flagstaff and Sedona. It was so nice to get out of the heat and enjoy some family time. On our way up, we decided to stop by Montezuma's Well. The well was gorgeous and the walk down to the creek was even more beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we arrived in Flagstaff, we started by exploring the NAU campus. I wish I could go there. The campus is amazing. I love ASU but NAU would be a nice change.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started to get quite hungry and went downtown to get some food then play at a local park. The park was very crowded but it was fun seeing the children climbing everywhere including the trees and there was a lot of laughter. Addi really enjoyed swinging. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We finally began our journey down South going through Sedona. We stopped at a few look out points. I am absolutely terrified of heights and had a few anxiety attacks while walking on the trails with long drops on one side. Addilyn's favorite part was playing in the red dirt, dumping it down the back of her shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a wonderful little day trip. We definitely needed some cool, fresh air. Here are some pictures from our short fall adventure:</div>

We love doing a family theme when it comes to our Halloween costumes. We usually like to come up with something unique. This year, we decided to go with the characters from one of our favorite children's book series. Mo Willems is the author and three of the characters include an elephant, a pig and a pigeon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We completely procrastinated making our costumes until the night before Halloween. I'm so grateful for Navin. Once I finished my feathers, I was kind of over it. He stayed up late and sewed my wings onto my shirt and the fluffy white feathers to finish it off. He also sewed felt onto a headband to make his pig ears. Luckily, we found Addilyn's completely put together so it didn't require any extra work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year, Halloween was a lot more exciting because Addi was more aware of what was going on. Surprisingly, she loved wearing her costume. She would twirl around to show people her whole look. It seemed to give her more confidence and she became extremely social. Since she doesn't really eat any candy, we decided to go visit people and show off our costumes. We also went out for some dinner at Tempe Marketplace and then ran around the stores.</div>

This weekend was a busy one. Navin had Saturday off, so we took advantage and got out of the house. We started off with breakfast and then it was off to the pumpkin patch. The morning stated off with cool weather but unfortunately, it heated up as the day went on. We still enjoyed exploring the large farm.</div>

There was so much to do and see. We had to take a break and enjoy some cold Italian ice. We hopped on a tandem contraption that we had to peddle around a bumpy dirt coarse. Addilyn enjoyed riding in the front hanging on for her life.</div>

Sunday was a little less eventful. We went to church to see my brother-in-law give a talk. Afterward, we enjoyed a nice family nap. We then went to the park to feed the ducks and ride the train and carousel. Addilyn was more interested in eating the bread rather than feeding it to the ducks. I was quite interested in watching a Green Heron fish. It was not shy at all and probably caught about a dozen fish while we were there. We absolutely love birds and this was a beautiful thing to be able to watch so closely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a wonderful weekend. It was hard to not post every picture taken. I am so grateful for the time we were able to spend as a family. I sure do love my little family.</div>

Finally, it was time to leave. Addilyn had to start the car and get the tunes going before we rolled out of the parking lot.</div>

I have really enjoyed making popsicles for Addilyn. I know exactly what is going in them and they don't have all of the added sugar that store-bought ones have. It also makes enduring the heat a lot easier when you have a popsicle in hand (our weather has been unusually hot). This time, I decided to let her help and she really seemed to enjoy it. I also like getting her more involved with things around the house and I feel like it is creating more of a bond between us.</div>

Here is our latest popsicle making extravaganza:</div>

We pretty much add whatever we have on hand and hope that it tastes okay. This particular batch was a combination of strawberries, carrots, spinach, banana, peach Greek yogurt, avocado, butternut squash, apple sauce and finally, orange juice. It sounds gross but, they actually turned out quite yummy.</div>

Before Addilyn's bath tonight, we thought we would try a little shaving cream painting. Let me tell you, it was a hit. This was her first time playing with shaving cream and it will not be the last. She immediately picked up the paint brush and started creating with the puffy, colorful cream. I like doing activities that inspire creativity and exploration. One thing I have noticed, Addilyn does not like getting her hands too dirty. With this activity, she preferred using the paint brush over her hands. There have been other activities where she has expressed a slight dislike of messy hands. She must get this from me. I think I wash my hands a little too much.</div>

At least in the way that we think of an adult conversation. But, when I can get her to stay in one place for longer than a minute, sometimes we have our own kind of conversation.<br />
Today, we watched "dada" drive away for work while standing on the couch, looking out our living room window. We have a pleasant conversation (Addi style) about what we can see through the openings of the blinds passed the dirt stained glass. She especially likes pointing out the birds that tend to land in the flower covered bushes near our walkway(Pop pop would be proud). She points and exclaims, "bu, bu." She uses that same word to describe a small bug that lands softly on the outside window. The mail man came just then and after getting over her fear of a stranger approaching our home, she says "may may." <br />
As I'm talking to her and listening to her sweet voice, I realize just how quickly she is growing up. Soon enough, she will be creating sentences to describe what she is seeing with those big brown, toddler eyes. I know this has been said before, but it is truly amazing being able to experience the world through a toddler's eyes. The way her mind processes what she sees, hears, tastes, and touches (she hasn't done much smelling yet) is wonderful to observe as her mom.<br />
Addilyn ended our little discussion by putting her hands up as if to ask a question and says, "Bee?" Bee is her word for Beans, our little dog. She then slid herself off the couch and went looking for "Bee."<br />

She has certain toys that she plays with but she brought in a small Tupperware container that she usually fills with water. I love to watch her explore and figure out how things work or how they can be manipulated. Anyway, she decided to put the container to her ear and let drops of water hit the outside of it. She looked up at me with a curious face as she listened with the container cupped around her little ear. She then switched to the other ear. She was intrigued by the sounds she heard coming from the outside of the small container. It reminded me of the first time, as a child, that you experience putting a sea shell to your ear and listening to the ocean.<br />
After listening for a while, Addi decided that it was my turn to experience the thrill of Tupperware over your ear. She put it to my ear with a cute little grin on her face. I listened and then she went on to her next activity.<br />
I have enjoyed experiencing these little moments with Addilyn. It may not seem like that big of a deal to others but, she is learning every second of the day and it is absolutely amazing. Sure, there are bigger steps she takes and more words she is learning. However, sometimes I like to focus on the small things because those are the things that get forgotten so quickly yet, are so intriguing in the moment. <br />
I sure do love our growing girl.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC7DS_4hu755Dv73uYsHb0EXDIjCCTX-wS8hU8IPVMBXgCLBPjvW1yL_BS9P8eaOFej-s8GXfXNpIlNUviSVkxGWNACwrN4XYpVM9YFanSzffKdskqOMo3_AaDJBCtadPDKx1LOWpHTLiH/s640/blogger-image-2065207667.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC7DS_4hu755Dv73uYsHb0EXDIjCCTX-wS8hU8IPVMBXgCLBPjvW1yL_BS9P8eaOFej-s8GXfXNpIlNUviSVkxGWNACwrN4XYpVM9YFanSzffKdskqOMo3_AaDJBCtadPDKx1LOWpHTLiH/s640/blogger-image-2065207667.jpg" /></a></div>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15108025278100145520noreply@blogger.com0
