Easter

Happy Easter!  Okay, okay, I know I am late, but I was super sick and I was having trouble being my happy-go-lucky self.  But I am back!  Considering the fact that my temperature got up to 103.9 the Saturday before Easter, I really had a pretty good time.  You will notice, however, that I am in my pajamas in every picture!  I started feeling sick on Thursday night and my temp was around 100.9.  Mama was hoping it was teething or something....you know, nothing a good night sleep won't take care of.  I woke up Friday and was at 102.5 and I pretty much stayed there all day.  By Saturday morning I hadn't eaten much food and my temp was still up there........ I pulled it together and came upstairs and painted eggs with Mama and Daddy.  It was great fun.  I even ate a couple of them.

What, you don't wear a helmet when you paint your Easter eggs?  Don't knock it til you try it :)

I think the stickers were supposed to go on the eggs, but most of them ended up on our faces!

My fever peaked after my nap on Saturday, but by midnight it finally broke.  I woke up on Easter morning and even though I didn't have a lot of energy, I felt like a new person!  I came upstairs and there were balloons (my favorite!!!) and there was even a special basket just for me!

I made sure that the bunny got some of my treats too!  I love to share with my stuffed animals (they never seem to eat as much as my friends)

Nana and Popi were there too..... we were supposed to have more friends over, but Mama didn't think it was a good idea with my fever and all.  She was probably right.  Nana brought over some awesome bunny ears for all of us to wear.....

Even Emma.

I hope you guys had a wonderful and blessed Easter too!

Love,

Spring time

Hi guys!  I have been super sick this weekend so I haven't had time to download all of our awesome Easter pictures, however, I thought I would take the time to share my spring with you!

This past month leading up to Easter has been busy!  I got to spend the weekend with Nana and Popi in Aspen.  We rode on the gondola, made waffles, walked around town, you name it, we did it! (okay, well all the normal things a 20 month old would do of course!)

and then if that wasn't enough, the next weekend I got to spend with Boppa and Di Di in Vail.  They drove all the way from their house to visit me!  How lucky am I?!

Oh yea, I might have skied a little bit too!  Pretty fun!

Okay, well, I had better get to bed...... I am feeling much better, but I need my sleep.  Plus, I am in my big girl bed now and I really love it! (I'll try to get mama to take a picture of me in it for you)  Night night!!

Love,
Charly Addison

Surf, Sun, and Seagulls

I have had so much to tell you, and no time to sit down and actually do it!  Life is getting so busy now that I am only taking one nap.   Whew!

We went to Cali to visit Uncle Charlie and Auntie Kinsey and all I can say is FUN!  I showed Piggie the ropes on our flight out there.  I even shared my puffs with her.  She must have been nervous, cause she didn't eat very much.  I have to say, she did pretty good for her first time flying.

We went to the beach and chased birdies (mama and auntie Kinsey kept talking about rats, but I didn't see any rats).  I ran and ran and ran and when I got tired, Uncle Charlie helped me finish the chase!

We went to the zoo too!  There were lots of people so it was hard to see the animals but my favorite part was the carousel and the sea turtle that Uncle Charlie bought me..... I named her Lilah.

I didn't understand why I couldn't crawl over the fences and go give the animals hugs?!  I mean, why not, right?  Don't the giraffes look friendly?

I was waving to everyone that was watching me.  My Elephant was a pretty sweet ride!  I picked him out myself.

When we weren't running around doing all of these cool things, I found my favorite thing to do was to just lounge in the pool.  Ain't life grand...

Much love to you all,
Charly Addison

Hearts Everywhere

Hello hello.

Happy Valentines Day and Presidents Day too (of course).  I know that I said I would do less writing and have more pictures, but the truth is, I love telling you guys the stories behind the pictures too!  So, if you are one of those people that just wants to see the photos, no offense taken if you just skip my writing. :)

Before I learned about how fun Valentine's Day is, Momma took me to Eagle to get my haircut.  We went to the same place she cuts her hair.  It was fun and I LOVED the butterfly cape I got to wear.  The only thing I didn't like was when she sprayed my hair with water.... brrrr!  But hey, no more mullet!

The day after my new "do" was Valentine's Day.  I had been talking to these balloons all week in the grocery store and then next thing I knew, they were in my kitchen!!!!!  Talk about excited!

The balloon excitement took a while to wear off.  I made sure to say goodnight to Teddy every night and good morning, every morning, until this morning actually.  I still love them, I just have lots of other cool stuff going on too!  Like check out my new tower.  I can stand up by the counter with mama and help her make dinner.  Last night I helped her out big time..... check me out.  I was munching on some Edamame while I worked.  Such the multitasker.

There is no question though that the best part of my week is the weekend.  I love having Daddy hang out with us too.  This weekend we got to have a little meal together.  It was pretend of course, but it was very fun!  I love pouring him more tea and pretending to cut up my own food.... maybe someday.

Well, love and kisses to you all!  We are off to California in a couple of days to visit Uncle Charlie and Auntie Kinsey.  I am sure I will have lots of pictures to tell you all about it!

Love,
Charly Addison

Stuffy Noses

Hey when you have a cold and you can't go to the pool, what do you do?  That's right you bring the pool to you!  Complete with "jumping in" (onto the couch that is)

I showed Daddy my new fish puzzle and told him all of the colors I know!

I had to spend all week at home getting better, but by the weekend I was almost healthy and I got to out sledding and Saturday AND Sunday!  I LOVE sledding!

Hope you are all staying healthy, cause that cold stuff was no fun!

See you soon!

Partner in Crime

I got super lucky last week, cause my friend Teagan, her Mommy had to go out of town, so I got to spend the whole day with her!  It was so much fun having a playmate!

Okay, okay that isn't the real "partner in crime" that I mentioned in my title..... I have been dying to tell you guys, but Momma and Daddy told me I needed to wait until our 2nd doctors appointment before I could say anything.  P.S. it's way more fun to go to the doctor when it is for Momma instead of for me! 

My real partner in crime is coming in August!  (around the 21st)  

Wahoo!

Love,

Charly Addison

Feels like winter.

I like to eat Guacamole and Hummus straight out of the bowl....who says they are just condiments?!

I got a new hat from Nana's friend Marg.  It is super fuzzy and I wear it everywhere!

Except for when I have my helmet on, that is.....
