Hanging out with Addison

 Looking super cute posing for us!

 The girls enjoyed holding hands throughout the mall.

A new thing Sarah likes to do is change her baby's diaper.  Here, she's changing Belle's diaper, but you get the idea.  She asks for a wipe, diaper, and the changing pad.  

My New Ride!

 Daddy surprised Sarah with this new ride.  As you can see, it's pretty cool!  It's a win/win situation for Sarah and Daddy because it has a remote that he can use too, which of course is great for right now.

 Sarah LOVES her sunglasses.  Many times, she will want to keep them on after coming inside from a walk or wherever we've been.

 My sweet sunshine!  I'm absolutely loving that she will pose for pictures these days!

This is Sarah's masterpiece I was talking about from the last blog.  It was her first time with finger painting.

Paint with Pudding

 This week, one of our playdates was painting with pudding.  I wasn't sure how Sarah would react since she doesn't like to get messy, but she really enjoyed it.  I decided to try her with real paint a couple of days later; a picture of her masterpiece will be up next time. The first experience with real paint was not as successful, but we will keep trying.

 Pretty much on a daily basis, Sarah enjoys coloring.  Here recently, she will actually tell me what she is coloring, or she will request for me to draw something specific.  Usually it's people, so those drawings are quite interesting...

 Giving love to Einstein

Since Sarah is so into singing her ABC's, I decided to get her an alphabet puzzle.  It is a hit, and she likes to sing the song as she goes through the letters. 

Pump It Up!

 Pump It Up is an indoor place that has inflatables for kids to play on.  Sarah really enjoyed this place!

 The slide inflatable was where Sarah spent the most of her time.  She really enjoyed sliding down!  It took her longer than the older kids to climb up the stairs, but surprisingly, the kids were quite cooperative!

This inflatable was the most difficult one; this part in particular.  You should have seen Sarah trying her hardest to climb the "rock wall".  She kept on trying, and after a couple of times, she was successful!

Going Bonkers!

 Earlier this week, we went to an indoor playground nearby called Going Bonkers.  They had a toddler area and an area for kids older than three.  Sarah enjoyed the toddler area, but she had more fun in the big kid area.  That meant I had to climb through everything with her, so I'm not sure if we will be making it back to this place in the next few months...maybe one more time real soon. 

 These are all action shots, obviously, so there's not much of Sarah actually looking, but you will get the idea of what she did there.

 I thought this was pretty cool, and I was impressed that Sarah was able to stay on it the entire time.

On Memorial Day, we went to our neighborhood pool. Sarah was striking a pose after she got out. 

Open Gym Fun!

 As you will see in some pictures that follow, Sarah is now "posing" for pictures!  I'm so excited about it!  We went to open gym the other day with my  Mom's group.  Sarah was overwhelmed at first due to the size of the place, but she had a fun time. 

 The trampoline "road" was the hit of the gym for Sarah.  She loves to "jump!"

She looks like such a big girl :(

Sarah's First Cruise

 We had a cruise credit that had to be used by July, so we decided to take Sarah along with us for one last vacation before she has a sibling.  We are so glad we did!  She was great, and Rusty and I had a lot of fun with her.  Sarah learned "ocean" and "Mexico" while cruising.

 This was the first night on the ship.  We had a delay, so we didn't end up getting on the ship until close to 8pm.  That was a long night, but all was well in the morning after some rest overnight. Sarah is eating her first of many ice cream cones while cruising.

 A picture of the make-shift room Rusty did up for Sarah in our cabin.  It worked out wonderfully.

 Sarah was very interested in our bingo cards.

 This was the bus ride back to the boat from our first stop, Progreso, Mexico.  This was the first time Sarah had been to the beach.  She was not a fan at all.  I guess that is why she's so happy to be back on the bus?...

 The water as we got off of the ship in Cozumel.  It was just beautiful.  We had been before, but I didn't remember the water being this pretty.

 Sarah's second day at the beach went much better.  She still wasn't a fan of the sand, but she really enjoyed getting in the ocean with Daddy. 

 Cozumel, Mexico

 We stopped to eat at Fat Tuesdays before boarding the ship.  Sarah loved their guacamole. 

 Cute face!

What a cute smile!

 My 2nd Mother's Day; man, how I love my little girl!

 Since the ship was delayed on the day we were suppose to leave, PaPa and MeMe met us at Kemah.  Sarah really enjoys the carousels, and she had fun on this one with PaPa.

 We waited a LONG time to ride the train around the park.
