From past pictures, stories, or just knowing her heritage it's obvious that Addie has quite a personality. We love her funny little faces and all the goofy stuff that she does. Today, though was an all-time-low for her attention span. She wasn't bad or more misbehaved than usual, just very distracted and hyper and all over the place. We've been trying to expand her vocabulary and sounding words out so that she can get the hang of them. She and I have been working on 'please' for a long time and today seemed like an all-day session of attempting please. To no avail. She just wasn't into it; didn't even really want to try. Of course, Jason came home and called her 'loco' and within a minute she was making the 'L' sound (something she's never done before) and getting pretty close to saying loco. Anyway, so she ran around crazy all day and even with the very short and late nap that she had, time to settle down was even humorous. Everynight Jason will either read her a book or look at flashcards before she goes to bed. Tonight I couldn't help but laugh as I listened to him try to get a normal response out of her while going through the flashcards and most of what I heard was a high pitched squeal that is her excited/singing voice.
I feel so lucky to have such a happy and fun little girl. It definitely makes life interesting and more enjoyable. The forecast is blizzard weather for the next two days, so we might just both be crazy by the time we leave the house again!

Gotta love those days. Those are the days that once they go to sleep you just sit down and take a deep breath- and then wonder how you kept up with that ball of energy all day! Love the pic with her head in a bowl- so funny!
When we are stuck inside because of the snow my kids can spend a whole hour playing with play-doh. I don't mind the mess, I clean up what I can and let the rest dry and then its easy to sweep up.
I love that little "loquita"! She sounds a lot like her Dad. He was a happy boy, a happy active, hyper boy. What fun you are in for. THanks for sharing. We love any info we can get.
