Addison 1 year stats

Had a Dr. Appt today and Addi is just perfect!
Her head is in the 95th %
She is 29 inches tall (50%)
20 lbs even (35%)
They would like her to gain a bit of weight during the next week as she will be having surgery and will likely drop a pound or so. So more cheese sticks and lots of bread ha ha. Good thing she LOVES it. Addi has 6 teeth, 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. She is officially walking and starting to stand up with no help from a sitting position. She loves puppies, music and o read books. You will always find her dancing to any tune she hears. Addi has great rythm and bounces to the beat. Words she knows how to say are Mom, Da Da, this, what's that, TA (which is hi and bye) and mmmmmm. She loves to gibber gabber and talk as long as you will listen. Her seperation anxiety is getting worse but that is expected at this age. She explores but needs you in view or she starts to do her classic scream. Addi can scream! Girl has lungs! Often she will just sit and scream as loud as she can. I think she enjoys the sound of her voice he he. Daddy is her best friend. Peek a boo is her favorite game and like I mentioned before she is always up for dancing. We love our Addi and there is so much to tell you about her. Her personality is so fun and so blessed to have her in our family.

As promised

Isn't she adorable? I would get a better picture but she is sleeping right now. We just took her to the Dr. to have a hernia checked on her belly button. She is going to need surgery very soon for it. We go in on Monday to talk to the surgeon and schedule her surgery. Makayla had on a cute green tank over a white shirt and a really cute bow in her hair but when she walked off the bus it wasn't as cute as when she left for the day he he ;) We love her energy. She is such a great big sister. Kaden was proud to wear his green socks, green underwear and green shirt. No pinching in this house.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Last night I decided to make bread and turn one loaf green for St. Patricks Day. Kaden asked me this morning how I did it. I told him it was the leprechauns. He believed me and went about eating his breakfast.
While waiting for the bread to finish I decided that Addi needed a little St. Patricks Day shirt so I got out the felt and the thread and came up with this really simple clover patch. She was up all night sick so I am sure she will only wear this for her Dr. appointment today but it was worth it. I had these baby legs left over from my booth and they happen to match perfectly. Pictures of the little miss in green to come soon.

motivation

Today I sit in front of the computer finding it hard to pull myself away to get ready for the day. My hair and face are greasy. I had a bite of breakfast, fed the kids and put Addi down for a nap. The weather outside is not so happy today. I just don't feel motivated to do anything. I know I have at least 7 loads of laundry to do, sheets to clean, a shower to take, lunch for the kids, play time, makeup to put on, etsy orders to fill, work to do on pebbles booth.......... and the list goes on. I am just not motivated at all to do any of this today. I feel a cold coming on but I will fight it. Feeling unorganized as well. Just one of those days I guess. I often get into these slumps about this time of year.

So now I will make a list for the things I need to do today. Try and assign hours to them and hopefully motivate myself part of the way through the list.

Onto more exciting news and positive thinking- Addi turns one in a few weeks and she is walking. How did my baby turn into a toddler so quickly?
