It's a Girl

Today I had my ultrasound and the baby gave us a good bum shot to prove it is a girl. We are really excited for Addie to have a little sister. As we were leaving the doctor's office we asked Addie if she was excited to have a sister and she nodded her head yes, then said "and share my toys". Hopefully she actually will share her toys eventually without it being such an ordeal. The due date is still the same give or take a few days, I guess it won't really matter in the heat of the summer anyway. (I was going to post a picture of the ultrasound but our scanner is not cooperating.)

Vegas Baby

We had a fun time going to Las Vegas last weekend. Addie was especially excited to stay in a hotel. We ate at a new place called Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers which we ended up loving. They have chicken fingers and fries, so good.
We went shopping at some outlet mall and there was a merry-go-round inside. The whole time we were walking around Addie just kept talking about riding a horse. We gave in and let her have a ride, she loved it.
We stayed at a hotel in Henderson and from our window we could watch the airplanes fly by as they were getting ready to land at the airport. Addie was so excited everytime she heard an airplane and she wanted to look out the window. We let her stand on the window ledge and I think she would have stayed there all night, she loved watching the airplanes fly by and would let us know which ones were big or small.

Sunglasses and Baby Dolls

We bought some cheap sunglasses for Addie at the store a few weeks ago and she loves to wear them everywhere. She will put them on in the car and then continue to wear them inside wherever we may be. Luckily the pack came with a set of four glasses, because I have to have them on hand at all times.
Addie also loves to play with her baby dolls. As I was getting ready the other day she decided baby and stroller needed to be in her secret hideout under the counter.
She also loves to push each one in its stroller and line them up against the kitchen wall. I thought she was just lining them up, but today she informed me they were in time-out.
Addie went into the garage yesterday and found a baby toy (can't remember what they are called) and she insisted on bringing it inside. I figured she would get bored of it after a few minutes, but then she wanted to sit in it and it is her new favorite toy...lovely.

Bonding Time

Andrew and Addie had some fun bonding time this weekend as I was able to go to our ward's Youth Conference up north. Part of the Youth Conference was to go to the open house of the new Draper Temple and when Andrew told Addie I went to the temple, she wanted to go too. He took her to the St. George Temple on Saturday and she enjoyed running around on the grass and climbing the stairs. They also went to Zion's National Park with Andrew's sister and her family. Addie wasn't so into smiling for any pictures or her cousin, Kalea but they had a good time hiking and being together.
