October

Halloween came and went and it was so exciting this year. Last year it was fun to take her out, even though she was really too young to get anything out of it. This year however, she had a ton of fun! She loved going house to house, especially if a house had a pumpkin; she really didn't care too much about the whole candy thing!

"Mummy! Big Pumpkin! Sad Pumpkin!"

next house:

"NO pumpkin...mummy, wheresthepumpkin?? "


In the almost-week since halloween, about 20 times a day, completely out of the blue Addison will say, "Skelton on DOOR!" or "Bones on FLOOR!" Ahhh, the things that she remembers!


Her favorite word this fall is "Where"...wheresthedoor, wheresdaddy, wherestheball and especially "Wheresthemoon?" - she's all about the moon, asking where it is during the day and evening, whether it is out or not. She LOVES the moon! Her sentences are getting longer and longer - most often she repeats what we've read in a book, so the past couple weeks she'll toddle around saying, "Moonfalldownonenight - catchit!!" (From "When Moon Fell Down".

She can now "sing" all the words to Twinkle twinkle and Jesus Loves me. She can also do most of the ABC song, but she makes up a few of the letters in between. She also loves the "Rosie" song (as she calls it) but doesn't sing it...just loves to "all fall down!"


She's taken a real shine to YouTube as well! We found some Wiggles videos on there and she just loves them (Jeff is her favorite!)...and on youtube there's links to other related videos and somehow we found some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse clips. Now Addison is completely obsessed with the Clubhouse - between the Hot Dog song and anything Goofy, it is all we hear about these days!
