Pooh Bear Party

Today we celebrated Addy's b-day with family. Po Po joined us at the zoo this morning. We were practically the only ones there b/c it was FREEZING. It was about 40 degrees when we were there. The girls did famously though. We saw the outdoor animals as quickly as possible and only really lingered at the tiger - b/c he's fabulous. Then we went into the warm dolphin pavilion and watched the dolphins swim around us. We went to the dolphin show. Addy loved it and boogied to the music. At one point during the show, Lily got to go down and help the trainers. She taught the dophin how to spin around. You can kind of see her in the picture - she's the itty bitty one in the picture with the "SPLASH" sign..too the right of the girls in the red shirts. Addison liked the sharks best. You could pet them if your arms are long enough (Addy's are not). Mom treated us to lunch at the new cafe patachou. It was so yummy! Here's the highlight of the whole morning....Lily left the house for 4 hours in NO DIAPERS. Amazing. She's done awesome at home and day care, but we'd not attempted an outing yet. So she's potty trained. It's official. We still put a pull up on her at night, but she often wakes up with it dry. Anyway, I digress....






So after naps we had Addy's birthday party. It was a Pooh Bear theme. She had pooh hats, plates, a banner and a Pooh cake. It was quite exciting. We kept it low key this year with basically just grandparents and aunts along with Jessica and Nikki. We missed Melissa and Mike b/c of stupid bronchitis, but we'll visit them soon when everyone is feeling better. It was a good group and Addy did great. She loved her cake, LOVED all of the attention and got a kick out of the new grocery cart from GG (great grandma). THEN, when everyone left, Addy took 4 steps! It's a big day!
