Independence is a small step closer...

Addison learned how to tie her shoes in about an hour tonight.  It couldn't have taken her much longer than that because I was gone working out for a little over an hour and when I got home she had a pile of shoes she had already tied!  All I can think is she is just one step closer to becoming independent and all of the other things that have to do with growing up.  The past few months she has just looked so much older.  My Mom has said several times, "She looks like the kindergarteners at school."  Even the Fareway cashier said she couldn't believe how tall Addison has gotten.  My baby is too big.  I know this is inevitable and I need to just get used to it, but it is still hard for me.

We have also still been enjoying the great weather we are having here in January!  We drew pictures with sidewalk chalk and went to a park today and it's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow!


This was last week when it was almost 60 degrees.  We did our normal "summer" fun walk...to the ice cream shop!




Then I decided no naps for the older girls.  It was just too nice!  We were able to play outside without our coats on.  This is simply unreal in Iowa...in January.




Ice Cream Mustache

I am in need of some sun!

Strutting her stuff for the camera:)



The pile of shoes she tied!  I am so proud of her!
