Okay, where on earth did the time go? I can't hardly believe that my little girl is nine today! I thought I'd share some pics of her growing so far and share a few things about Miss Adree.=0)
Adree Elizabeth was born on August 25th in the early afternoon in Page, just like her Mom.=0)
The second of my three, Adree was a go getter from the time she was very young. Just 16 months younger than her brother Drake, I really had two babies at once. Really people wonder how you do such a thing, but they were always such good babies, it really wasn't that difficult! With two that close in age, you don't have to worry about jealousy, and they were always into the same things so, they always had each other as playmates.
I remember taking Drake to the park before Adree was even old enough to walk and Adree was not going to sit in carrier and watch him play. She yelled until Mom picked her up and followed back behind Drake as he played so Adree wouldn't feel left out. Adree would watch Drake as he walked around and you could tell she just couldn't wait until she could move around too!=0)
Adree started talking as soon as she was able to sit up on her own, at about 6/7 months. I remember Adree sitting behind her Dad, who was working on the computer, and saying dadda dadda dadda...until he would turn around to look at her. She would grin ear to ear, "Daddy your little girl is calling you..." I would say and sure enough as soon as he turned around she would grin. Little stinker!
Adree smiled at just over a week old and learned to ride he bike without training wheels at age 4. Adree is the youngest student in her grade (she just started 4th), but you would never know it! She is not happy to just sit and watch time pass her by! Adree joined the church this year and gets herself up and ready to go by herself on Sundays. She also joined the choir at school and is perfectly happy to get herself up and ready to be at practice on Tuesday's at 8am. Even though this meant she didn't have time to open her birthday presents before school today!
Adree never met a stranger, I can't take her anyplace here in town where she doesn't know someone! Active and driven, responsible and sunny, Adree you are the best daughter I could have ever asked for! I couldn't have gotten any luckier to have you if I had had the opportunity to choose you myself. Happy Birthday Adee Doll! Mommy, Lee, Drake, and Seth love you so very much! May your birthday wishes come true! =0)
