What are you doing this Independence day?

It was just Christmas, so why am I so concerned about the 4th of July? Well I think about the 4th of July almost everyday lately, because we are expecting a lot more than fireworks this 4th of July. That is right, Sorensen Baby #2 is on its way.

Merry Christmas

Gotta love the messy hair Christmas morning opening presents look.

Dad I'm Busy

Jared put Addi on the potty went to get something in the other room and came back to find Addi reading a dental magazine while sitting on the potty.

One week until Santa comes

I am sure you have all been dying to know what we have been doing for our days of Christmas activities. Well they have consisted of col col (coloring) in a Christmas coloring book and playing with nativity paper dolls both sent by Grandma Peggy thanks grandma. On Tuesday Mommy was so busy sewing and just left Addi to her playing when all of a sudden Addi brought me a Toy still in the box that I had never seen before asking for help. Apparently she had found a wrapped present from Great Grandma Keep under the tree and decided to unwrap it. Since I still had more sewing to do and I could just take away this fun new toy she found I helped her take it out of the box. It was a talking purse and she loves it. Thanks Great Grandma. I guess we won't be putting anymore wrapped presents under the tree. The funny thing is that when Grandma Peggy sent her presents that she was suppose to open before Christmas she just carried the wrapped presents around and wouldn't let any unwrap them, I guess she got the hang of unwrapping presents.
Yesterday we went to the dollar store to get a couple of things and Addi started picking things out and telling me they were for daddy so I let her do a bit of Christmas shopping and she did a pretty good job. Since I don't want to spoil the surprise I wont tell you everything that she picked out, but one thing she did pick out was some m&m's and she went around the store telling everyone they were for daddy. Maybe daddy eats to many m&m's if his 20month old daughter knows to get him some at the store.
Today we went to the library and picked out a Christmas movie to watch. Addi enjoyed watching Mickey's Christmas Carol last night on TV so we got Mickey's Christmas sing-a-long. I don't think Addi enjoys my singing to much. When I was singing she came over and stuffed some fruit snacks in my mouth and then when I started singing again she started singing. That is why daddy sings her bedtime song to her and not mommy.

The sixth day of Christmas

Wait what happenened to the fourth and fifth day of Christmas? Well for the fourth day addi got to open a new Christmas board book and on the fifth day of Christmas we hung candy canes on our tree, well most of them were eaten, but 3 of them made it to the tree. So now on to the sixth day of christmas where I traumatize my child. Yes I made her sit on santa's lap. Addi has never been afraid of strangers she would go to anyone who wanted to hold her. Lately as in the last week or so she has started to shy away from strangers which is a good thing, but not right before meeting Santa.

When Addi heard some jingling bells she started walking torwards them to see what it was and then Santa came around the corner and she turned and ran screaming. When daddy tried to sit her on Santa's lap she would scream, but me being a mean mom said just sit her on Santa's lap so I can get a picture. Every kid has one of those screaming Santa picture right? While I got my picture I may have traumatized her for life.

The third day of Christmas

The third day of Christmas was a very snowy day so we bagged our Christmas craft, got all bundled up and played in the snow. At first Addi didn't know what she thought of the snow. I showed her the snow from her bedroom window and she thought it was cool but then when I brought her downstairs and we took Tito out to go potty she didn't like it and wanted to go back up stairs to look at it out her bedroom window.
I did convince her to get bundled up and go outside to check out the snow, but she wasn't so sure at first.
But then she warmed up to the idea and didn't want to come in. We had to come back just to drop Tito off because he was freezing.
Addi calls gloves hands and we can't leave the house without them. We were about to go out for the second time today and I wasn't wearing gloves Addi started freaking out yelling hands hands until I figured out that I was not wearing my "hands".
Addi now likes to get bundled up to go outside, but she still doesn't quite know what to do in the snow.
When I finally made her come back inside she wouldn't let me take off her snow clothes so she watched cartoons in all her gear.

On the second day of Christmas

I am sorry another post with no pictures, but I promise pictures tomorrow.
On the second day of Christmas whats a good to do, but to go and get some Dunkin' Donuts. Addi and I like to sometimes while we are out running errand to stop and get some donuts. It isn't hard considering that there is a Dunkin' Donuts on every corner and I am not kidding. We had playgroup today and hadn't had breakfast so what a perfect donut day. They even had special Christmas donuts what more could we as for.
Later when daddy got home (we got him some donuts too) we went to go rent a movie together. As we were walking back to the car I noticed Addi was holding a Kit Kat. I asked Jared if he had bought that for her and he said no. Our daughter is a little thief. Apparently while Jared was getting the movie she had grabbed it without anyone noticing. I took the candy back in the store and luckily because she is cute no harm was done, but I am thinking we need to have a little lesson in stealing things.
