Haircut

You want to do something really fun? Cut a very active 18 month old's hair. I have never cut hair before, but Addison's was just getting too long. I have had many in my life and have learned a few things from watching Sara. I was also inspired by a friend who has a daughter about the same age. So I tried. 2 Popsicles later I completed the task. She just would not sit still, not that I was expecting much better. John was a little nervouse when I told him what I did. It looks ok though, so I will keep doing it until she demands a professional, or we move closer to Sara and I can bribe her with cheesecake.

Sick Again

This time with an almost ear infection. Well he said it was red and irritated and gave us amoxicilline (and yes, I had to look on the bottle to make sure I spelt it right). Smelling that stuff brought back a whole sloo of memories. I totally remember taking it as a kid.

And as far as pictures, I can't down load them right now. Electronic devices hate me. That is why I keep my phone as just a phone, not a camera/pda/mp3 player, and oh, I guess we should through the phone in too.

Field Trip

Addison and I went to AIB to visit with my former co-workers. It was good to see everyone and catch up a little. Here is a picture that Renee took.

update

OK, so I haven't posted in a while. That is because I have been kind of down and I think that nothing is interesting enough to write about. Here is what has happened over the last month:

John finished the fence, or at least the part we need for the daycare. It was way more of a production than either of us thought it would be.

Addison has 3 new teeth just breaking through. Quite the fun experience I hope you all get to have someday.

I found out I'm not allowed to have coloring books in the daycare. It hinders a child's creative expressions.

Addison can now put sock on, it is so much fun when we are in the car and she tears her shoes off so she can practise.

Like I said before, we are kind of boring. I'll post some pictures soon.

Update

Addison has been sick for the past couple of weeks, she just can't get over her cough. This is her at the worst of it. She just felt terrible

The verdict is in, I think we have a righty. Sorry John!

Here she is getting into a bag of chips, can you guess which kind?

Addison had her first friend's birthday party a couple of weeks ago. It was really fun to watch her interacting. It's amazing how far a couple of balloons and some cake will go with kids this age.

FHE

For family home evening tonight we discovered a great new game. It is called "Through the freshly cleaned sock at Addison and watch her giggle like mad." I was folding laundry and John brought Addison in. I gave him the super hard task of folding the socks and keeping her away from the already folded clothes. Then he just started chucking the socks at her, and she loved it. Hey, it kept her entertained for 10 min. and after a weekend of being sick, anything to keep her occupied helps.
