MINI ME!

Lately Addison has been going through such an independent phase. She wants to do everything by herself with no help from anybody else. She
also wants to do everything the grown-ups do, especially her daddy! The other day we were heading out the door to go to one of our newphews' football games. As we were leaving Addison said she wanted to wear a hat so I brought her a cute little bucket hat with flowers on it. Well she started to throw a fit because she wanted her other hat. So she went to her room and found her baseball cap. Okay, no big deal, I put her hair in a cute pony tail and pulled it through the hole in the back of the hat. Not good enough for little miss thing. She started to throw another fit as she pulled off the hat, ripped out her pony tail and put the hat on backwards. That's right, you guessed it, just like daddy wears it. Anyone who has ever met Jared knows he always wears a backwards baseball cap, so apparently this is how Addison thinks they are supposed to be worn. As you can see from the pictures, if it wasn't for her skirt and other pink attire I think people would have thought she was my adorable long-haired little boy. She did look cute though don't you think? As for the plumber's crack, that wasn't something she did on purpose, I just thought it was funny so I took a picture. Sometimes daddy's pants also look like that, ha ha! By the way, she wasn't standing in the corner although I know that's what it looks like. For some reason that's just the stance she took when I asked her to turn around so I could get the picture. She also likes to sit on the couch next to Jared and position her arms and legs to look just like his. It's so cute how much she wants to be like daddy. It's also a little scary to realize how much she notices the things we do and follows our lead. It's a huge responsibility to always try to be a good example because she is obviously watching our every move.

That is what Ava looks like when she is in the corner. She acts like I am going to frisk her then cuff her!

She is such a doll! Just remember they are monkey see, monkey do! It's pretty scary how much they observe when we think they are not looking! That's how they learn...all the good and the bad!
