Ada is 6!

Can't believe the sweet is 6 years old. She continues to be a tiny little thing, but with no shortage of nicknames (Sweet, Sweetshop, Lizzy, Lizzy Lamb, Baby Lamb, Tiny, Tiny Sweet, Ada-Buh-gada, etc).
Image
Her favorite things are Arts and Crafts. Give her some colored pencils, construction paper, tape, and scissors and you won't hear a peep from her for hours.
Image
She got a ton of art materials for Christmas including an easel, paints, colored pencils, markers, sketching pencils, etc. She'll be in her room creating for hours at a time. She says she wants to be a "famous artist" when she grows up.
Image
She loves music. Her favorite is "anything with a guitar",  and her favorite artist is Ryan Adams.  She says her favorite song right now is "Gimme Something Good" but her all-time favorite is "Ashes and Fire". Lots of favorites. She also likes anything that will make her shake her little booty. Her current favorite dance song is "Everything is Awesome", but she also loves "Sky full of Stars" by Coldplay, especially the part where they "drop the bass." Her favorite birthday gift was the disco ball we got her. She loves to turn off the lights and dance her little heart out.
Image
She says her favorite thing to do is play with her brother Jay. She conducts classes for him every day in her room which she calls "Baby School." Apparently today Jay learned about "time and measurements." Her favorite animals are dolphins and orcas, and her dream is to swim with them someday. Her favorite color is now blue (used to be orange and pink).
Image
She is becoming a good little reader, and has no shortage of friends at school. In fact, because she couldn't keep her mouth shut at school, we ended up having like 14 girls at our house for her birthday party. I don't have pictures but it started out with a disco dance party, with a million little girls jumping all around our living room to Cindy Lauper and Katy Perry with the lights low and a disco ball.

Lindsay made a delicious buttermilk white cake with clementine curd and mascarpone orange zest frosting.

Ada's request of course.
Image
She's really a fun little girl to have around.
