Ewww...Runny nose

Well, Addison has a cold right now. This is only the 2nd cold she has ever had, so I'm still trying to figure out all the little tricks that will help her feel better. Nilla Wafers & chicken nuggets work really well :) There needs to be a cold medicine for babies!

Under Construction

We are going under construction to redo the layout & heading! Stay tuned for an updated blog!

First Trip to the Dentist

Addison did great! She even let the hygenist brush her teeth & then let the dr see them. He said everything looks great & we'll go back in 6 months. The only gripe I have is that we had to wait 30 minutes! When you have a toddler, time is very important & 30 minutes is a BIG deal. I was actually standing at the window waiting on the receptionist when the hygenist called us back. That receptionist got lucky today :) I still mentioned the wait time to the hygenist...

Believe it or not....

Let me preface this by saying that I got exactly what I deserved!

Addison finished her lunch & it was time for a nap. I put her on the couch to change her diaper & realized the ointment was in the bathroom. Usually, I put a dab on her before naps & bedtime. So, I stand her on the floor without a diaper & run to the bathroom to get the ointment. She follows behind me & stopped at the door & said mama. I looked over & of course, she peed on her socks, new tennis shoes & the floor! UGH! My fault, I know. I run & pick her up & stick her in the tub. After taking her shoes, socks & clothes off I go to clean the floor. After I got the floor cleaned up I went to the sink to wash my hands before bathing her. LOW & BEHOLD I look over at her & she is standing up with her hands on the side of the tub...............making 'THAT' face. I'm thinking there is NO WAY she is going to poop in the tub AFTER peeing on the floor! I rush over & I'm too late. Yes, my sweet angel pooped in the tub. Again, my fault, I know.

So, how was your day? LOL

Teeth

Addison goes to the dentist for the first time on Monday & I've been practicing with her to 'show' me her teeth! This is what I get:

15 month appt

Our little girl will be 15 months old tomorrow! We went for her 15 month check-up & shots today. Here are her stats: 22.9lbs, 30 1/2 inches, 18 1/4 head. She is still average on all the charts! After the check-up the mean lady with the needles came in to give the shots :( BOOO Someone had mentioned EMLA cream to numb the injection site, but our dr wouldn't approve it. Addison did fine as usual. She screamed her head off for 5 seconds & as soon as I picked her up she was fine. Today she got DTaP, Hib(the shortage is over now) & Pneumococcal. When we were leaving she was walking behind me & stopped in the waiting room to play with the toys & other babies. I told her that I was going to get a Happy Meal & to come with me, but SHE JUST SMILED & WAVED BYE!!! Holy Moly! I was stunned. Everyone started laughing & I assured them that this was a RARE event!

It looks like Addison will have only 6 teeth a little longer. The dr saw no signs of any new teeth getting ready to come through the gums. I was almost certain she was getting her molars. The dr said those are the worse & take the longest to come through (up to 4 weeks). WTH is he smoking? Addison may be shipped off to Memaw's or Gram's when that time comes :)







Today is DAY 4 of napping in the crib & no bedtime bottle. She was asleep when we got home today & I moved her from the carseat to the crib without her making a peep! I didn't even get a chance to give her Tylenol for her shots.


Yesterday, we attempted to finger paint. It didn't go very well, so we will wait a couple of weeks & try again. Addison didn't like getting the paint on her hands & smearing it on the paper. I even tried painting her belly & she didn't like it. Next time I will take pics.
