Halloween -3-

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the patch today. Addie had an alright time, it was really hot (in the 90's). But she really like eating the hot dog all by herself :)

Big Sister Class

I had the great idea that we should take Addie to a class about being a big sister. She was really too young for the class, but she loved wearing a balloon under her shirt.

Cheez-Its.... Yummy

I heard her doing something and then couldn't find her. Well her is what she was doing... Eating a whole box of Cheez-its in the corner of the office. I'll have to start checking under her bed for cupcakes.

If looks could ...

I'm not sure what she is thinking, but I have a feeling its not good..

Tutu

So after many attempts of getting Addie to like her Halloween costume, I decided to return it. She hated it and never got it on more than a few minutes. So I decided to make her a tutu that she can wear with a regular tshirt. I also bought her a little pink wand to wave around. I made the tutu today and she already had it on twice with no issue. Here are some pics of it.

PS: Don't mind her hand down my shirt :) You'd think after not nursing for 8 months she would just let them be...

Farm Hand

Poor Robert had to chase her around the barnyard. She wanted to brush all the goats. She's wasn't afraid of them at all. Our little brave farmer girl!

Finally

It has finally cooled off her in AZ. I'm sure if it's a sure thing or not, but we took full advantage this morning. We got uyp early and went to the zoo. Here are some pictures from this morning!

Double Stroller Mom

Here is a picture of our new stroller. Addie and I took it for a spin this morning, and it's so nice. Steph, thanks again for demo-ing it for us :)

Bath Video

Not the best place to sit..

This is how I found Addie this morning, after I had put a load of laundry in the washer. If you are wondering, yes that is a rash gaurd you wear in the pool. She LOVES this "shirt" and requests to wear it all the time. She actually wore it to Starbucks this morning. I'm not going to stiffle her creativiity :) And why fight a battle not worth fighting with a toddler.

Halloween Costume

Here is the one part of Addie's costume she will put on...... Hopefully, by Halloween we can get the rest on her....

Baking Cookies

Here is Addie baking her 1st cookie. This was cookie baking with training wheels. All she had to do was put them on the pan...Next step will be to decorate with sprinkles. Grandma will be proud, as she loves to bake cookies. Grandma has big plans on doing Christmas baking while she is her helping out with the baby.

Picaso in the making???

Here is what Addie looked like after writing on the walls with a highlighter. I was too pi$$ed to see the humor in it, so I cleaned off the walls before taking a picture. RELAX MOMMA, its only marker!! It came off the wall and really wasn't that big of a deal....

Nest for TV watching

Addie is in LOVE with this Elmo video, that has to do with potty training. We haven't even started that whole deal, but I put the video in since it was Elmo and now she requests watching it 10000 times a day. So here she is laying on the floor watching it. The comforter and bedskirt are being donated to Goodwill, but she realized that they would make a comfortable "nest" to hang out in...

New Furniture

We bought some things for our living room. The rug is new and so it the electric fireplace and the vertical lighting. Now all Robert has to do is paint... Maybe he can do that when he takes FMLA, when the baby is born.

1st childhood illness

Ok - well it's not TOO major. Addison had roseola last weekend. It's a high fever and then followed by a rash. You only get it once in your life, so I guess we can check that one off of the list. She felt really bad last Sunday and just wanted to be held. She even fell asleep on me, which never happens. Robert took last Monday off of work to help me with Addie incase she was still not felling well. She woke up Monday morning like her usually self. So we just had a fun day playing at the park and running errands.

Corn on the cob

More Deer Pictures

** No deer or children were harmed during the taking of these photos!!

Wildlife Encounter

At my parent's house there are tons of deer. We usually NEVER feed them, but a mother will do anything for a photo op....

ROAD TRIP

Robert, Addie and I drove to Colorado last week to pick up our pop-up camper. Addie did amazing in the car. We bought lots of little toys and such to keep her occupied. We also stopped every two hours or so. We are super proud of her! Here are some pics from the stops along the way.

Big Girl Bed

Well, we are starting on getting Addie into a big girl bed, as we hope not to buy another crib when the baby gets here. So here she is showing us how she can get down.

Blackboard #2

Here is another cute video of her drawing on her blackboard.

Blackboard

Here is Addie drawing on her blackboard. She is really good at making tally marks :)

What's in Mommy's Belly

Baby's Room

The painting is finished in the babiy's room. Here are some pictures. We will hopefully be moving the changing table out of Addison's room, to make room for her "big" girl bed sometime this weekend. So cross your fingers that that process goes well. We will have her crib and a full size bed in her room for alittle bit, so she can adjust. Let's hope it makes it easier :)

The Baby's room - under construction

Here is what we have done so far, I still have the green dots to paint and then we will be finished.

Yummy Plum

We got our produce from the organic co-op on Saturday and Addie couldn't wait to dig in. She took my plum and ate the whole thing. I had to wrestle it back from her to get the pit out of it, before she ate that too.

Baby Visit - 23 week apt.

Everything looked/sounded great. Baby's heart rate was 140-ish which is good. I have gained 16lbs, which is right on track. So we have one more monthly appointment and then we go to every other week appointment. YIKES.... I guess we are really having a baby!!

Messy Eater & 15 month check up

Just cute pictures...

Addison had her 15 month well visit last week. She weighted 24lbs and was 301/2 inches tall. Dr. Martin said everything looked great. Out next check up is at 18 months.

More water pics

Underwater Baby

Here is Addie going underwater between her instructor, Miss Morgan and Dadddy. Addie loves to do this and never looks worried when you pull her out. It's kind of amazing that she know to close her mouth.

Daddy comes to Swimming Class

Daddy came to swimming class today. He and Addie did great. They blew bubbles, kicked and went under water. She loves swimming class, too bad its almost over for the summer :(

A molar has been spotted

After Alex's molar was spotted this week, I thought I might want to risk being bit to see if Addie's had come thru. Sure enough, part of the bottom right, was poking thru. but no other ones, as of yet. The bite mark I received was worth it, as at least now I know what is going on in there.

Baby's size to everyday foods

This is kind of fun. Even after all of the book I have read, sometimes its still hard to visualize how big the baby is in my belly. Here is a cute way, click on the link below...

Boo Bunny to the Rescue

Addie fell today and banged her eye really good on the edge of the book. After the first wave of tears we got out the Boo Bunny which seems to help. But here is what it looked like afterwards..... Poor Baby Boo Bunny aka a super cute ice pack in the shape of a bunny.

Another bath video

Sharing the Chair

Here is Addie and her friend Alex sharing Addie's chair. It rarely happens, that one of them isn't biting the other or pulling hair. Notice how tan Addie is.... She wears sunblock everyday.

Bath Time

Big Kids Table

Addie used to use the tray on her booster seat, but now she is big enough to sit with us at the normal dinner table. Here she is at her 1st breakfast. She does pretty good using her spoon, but it's still messy.

Baby's Bedding

Once we found it was a boy, the mad search began for bedding. Since that is item that determines paint color and such. So here it is, you can click on the picture to make it bigger:



We bought it yesterday at the Devil Store aka Babies R Us, for almost $80 less than listed here. I also bought the cute matching lamp and valances. So we will begin to look at paint and hopefully get that done this month.
