31 for 21, 21 things about Addy

1. Addy absolutely is boy crazy. Completely and totally boy crazy!
2. Addy made up her own sign for Sesame Street, it's quite cute!
3. Addy always wants shoes but pretty much refuses to keep them on!
4. Addy always "sings" along with her favorite songs. It's so cute, she keeps a great melody!
5. Addy has changed so much in a year, she is growing really well and is learning new things all of the time. She weighs 27lbs now!
6. Addy fits the stereotype of children with DS are always happy. She pretty much is all of the time unless you don't do what she wants immediately. Not in a minute, immediately. She will smile and laugh and demand that you wait on her every whim. But she'll be happy with your service if you comply immediately.
7. Addy loves baths dearly but wants nothing to do with bath toys.
8. Addy always signs "eat" or "drink" when those around her say it or are doing it, however, she still wants little to no participation.
9. Addy has a sign vocabulary of at least 200 words. We lost count after that.
10. Addy has had 14 surgical procedures.
11. Addy thinks her brother, Jake, hung the moon. We're working on that warped sense of reality.
12. Addy is pretty reserved and laid back around other kids. We're hoping preschool will help with that. That is if she's ever allowed to go back after the C-Diff!
13. Addy is a pampered, spoiled, precious little princess, however, we really think she wants to be a shotput and discus thrower.
14. Addy does not like baby dolls or stuffed animals at all. I'm hoping to work through this, I'd hate for her to ever hold an actual baby and chuck it across the room.
15. Addy loves music, especially Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Jack Hartmann, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
16. Addy has the cutest giggle ever. Some day when her mother can upload video without losing all of the audio you'll get to enjoy it too.
17. Addy only likes black dogs, white ones freak her out.
18. Addy speaks in complete sentence in a language that only she understands.
19. Addy finally wears 2T clothing. Pants are perfect if they are an 18 months, that's why I love buying separates!
20. Addy has extremely sensitive skin, I'm really hoping we get through this winter with no eczema outbreaks!
21. Finally, Addy is light of our family and we can't imagine life without her!
