Playgroup Valentine's Day Party

This morning we met with the playgroup & had a great time.  Addison isn't the only girl anymore!  Little 3 year-old Sophia is part of the group now!  There are 5 boys & 2 girls!

Pigtails

LOOK...... Addy has enough hair to make pigtails now!  This is so EXCITING! (Yes, I need more practice.  Maybe a comb would work better than a brush?)

        

  

Sporting the pigtails & stacking blocks

Am I the only one that didn't know diaper cream & antibacterial hand sanitizer have expiration dates??  I just learned about this recently.  Not sure what made me look for a date on the package, but I did & was stunned to see they expire!

Long Time, No Post

Let me try to rewind & think about all that has been happening...

Last week we had to make a trip to Mississippi because Blake's grandmother passed away.  She was 91 & would talk to Addison at least once a week.  I'm sad Addison won't get to know her, but I know there will be many great stories shared as she gets older from Grams & Pappy!

Addison did great on the trip.  We even did a breathing treatment while on the highway!  I love having an outlet in the van!

I've started letting her eat 'messy' foods by herself lately.  She will never learn unless I get over my desire to keep her spotless!  

JELLO

YOGURT

My check-up was last Thursday.  It was a great visit this time.  In & out in less than an hour!  I haven't gained any weight & dr said that was fine.  If I was losing weight he would be concerned.  The labs didn't go so well.  The nurse tried the first time & the vein rolled (I warned her that it would likely roll or blow)!  She dug around in my arm for a minute & realized that she would just have to start over.  Second time was much better.  We will go back on March 4 for the big ultrasound & find out if it's a boy or girl!  Now that I'm feeling much better time is flying by so FAST!  

It Happened

We are now the owners of a nebulizer for Addy's breathing treatments.   I woke this morning & looked at my list of things to-do today with confidence everything would get done.  THEN Addy woke up....lethargic, coughing, wheezing.  Back to the dr we go.  We were in & out in 30 minutes & Addy was great.  Probably because she didn't feel good & didn't have the energy to put up a fight with Dr. N :)  She's very congested & must do breathing treatments 4 - 6 times daily.  The first treatment was a success!

After Addy checked the mail yesterday, she was very interested in what Sports Illustrated had to say about our Saints.

Remember how I said she loves taking her clothes off & putting them back on again.  This is the end result!  Hey, at least they are just inside out & not backwards too :)

Sick Updates

Addison & I are slowly recovering from being sick ALL week.  I had to get a new cough medicine for her, since the cough got worse.  It seems to be working fine.  Last night, was the first night that we both slept through the night.  I'm still a bit concerned about her appetite.  She is only eating a couple of bites throughout the day, but still drinking normal.  Blake has started to come down with something now!  Guess it was only a matter of time.

Addison's new favorite thing to do is taking her clothes, including diaper, and streaking!  She has gotten really good at putting clothes on & then taking them off again!

Yesterday, I caught her gnawing on her crib instead of napping!  I'm sure there will be many more marks added before it's converted to a toddler bed then full bed!  These marks add character & makes it antique (right?)!

I booked our appointment for maternity pictures!  TwoSuez will be doing the pics again & we are so excited!  Katie May is AWESOME!  She did our last maternity pics, Addison's newborn & 3 month pics.  Then.....we moved.  BOOOOOOO

                            

                            

                                      

      
                                      

Sick Baby

Addison woke up this morning with a cough that sounded a lot like croup.  She's been cranky lately, but I just thought it was teething.  After she wouldn't eat her breakfast, I even tried to feed her a brownie, I decided to call the dr.  I really like the new pediatrician.  The wait time was a little long, but worth it!  The staff & doctor were awesome.  Turns out Addy has an ear infection & early stage croup.  Luckily, we caught both in time before she got really uncomfortable.  Addy has 3 prescriptions (steroid, antibiotic, cough).  When she wakes from her nap we will start the first dose.  She weighs 26.12lbs & is 31 1/2 inches tall!

Tomorrow we had plans to go to Baton Rouge for Avery's 2nd birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  Needless to say, those plans have been cancelled now.

I think I hear someone waking up... time for medicine!

A Day of Firsts

This morning I went to the doctor for my lab work only to be told that I made my appointment too early & must come back next Thursday when I'll be 16 weeks.  That went over like a lead balloon.  I didn't pick the date!  The DOCTOR told me at my last appointment to come back in 2 weeks for labs!  UGH  Strike 2 for this OB practice.

Addison & I made brownies today!

This was her first brownie & she LOVED it!

I was supposed to bake chicken for dinner, but things didn't go as planned! (Translation - I was lazy & didn't feel like cooking)  So, we had Taco Bell!  I'm usually not a fan of Taco Bell, but something about being pregnant makes me crave that disgusting food!  Addison at Taco Bell for the first time tonight.  Mexican Pizza!  We tried to give her bites of other things like my soft taco or a burrito, but she was drawn to the pizza box!

Addison got to show off her new Elmo shirt today!
