"I'm All Done!"



Our family was enjoying the beautiful weather yesterday, 52 degrees to be exact! We went to the aquatic center and Addy was having a blast splashing in the water and having fun! We noticed Addy started looking tired so we asked her using sign if she was "All done?" She quickly motioned back to the water. About 10 minutes later she calmly looked at Dad and signed "I'm all done." It's so fun seeing her using signs to communicating.

Hugs and Kisses

Could there be anything more wonderful than a hug and kiss from a precious little one! Addy has been surprising us with hugs and kisses on a regular basis. I may be on the floor picking up cheerios or putting laundry into the dryer when I feel little arms wrap around me. What's even sweeter is to watch how Addy loves her little sister. She loves to pat her head and give her kisses all day long. We are teaching Addy sign language and in an effort to praise her on her loving actions, we sign to her "thank you" only to have her tiny hands sign "thank you thank you" back to us. How fun to see her learning and growing!
Yeah! We were able to catch a smile on camera from Emery-doll!

Addy really enjoys eating oranges and one morning we found that we could peel the orange into what looked like a flower. Addy is enjoying wearing it on her head! (Pardon the nose, Addy's getting lots of chompers in which makes for a runny nose :-)

Merry Christmas



Addy had a fun time opening up her gifts as she began to understand that wrapping paper is for ripping and that something good is underneath all that. Andy or I would rip into the wrapping paper and show her that something was underneath it and then she would begin feverishly tearing at the paper to see what was there. We had a wonderful Christmas and are so grateful for the two cutest girls in the world and our loving Savior whose birth we celebrated!

Whose who?

In keeping with Lloyd family tradition, we dressed Emery in the same yellow dress that Addy wore on her first Sunday back to church. We were amazed at how much the girls looked alike. My favorite are the baggy tights that Emery is wearing. Aren't tights supposed to be tight?
