Halloween and a bit of miscellany

Recently I lent out some baby gear to a friend. I just got it back, and decided we would need it pretty soon, so I might as well leave it out. Addie LOVES the swing!!!!!!!!! She is in it ALL THE TIME!


***********************************************************

This year for Halloween, Addie was a frog.... she wasn't so sure about it at first....


Then she saw her reflection!





She couldn't stop staring at hearself.


Ribbit!


Ready to go!


Going to Auntie's house... she had to bring her horsey!





Getting her first bit of candy.


She ate it right away!


Next we went to cousin Steve and Sam's house... where we ran into Billy!


Billy scoping out her candy.





Trick or Treat at Grandma's!!!!


Elsie wanted in on it too!


Oreos from Grandma... she couldn't wait!


Every year I try to do a costume picture by her pumpkin. This year I couldn't get Elsie to sit by her... or her pumpkin to stay up!
She has Oreo chocolate all over her face too! hahaha!


It is hard to get her to say "cheese" AND look at me!





She did hold up the pumpkin pretty good!


Distraction at it's peak...


Are we done yet?


After trick or treating, it was bead time!

Last week we also took Addie's toddler bed apart to make it into a full size bed! She loves helping:


She LOVES her new big girl bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hmmmm.....


She LOVES bouncing on it!!!!!! (which she calls dancing)


SO much fun!


If you remember, the transition from crib to toddler bed, wasn't the smoothest... I was worried this would be a repeat... but it has gone SO well! She has never gotten out of it after we put her in bed, and she almost always falls asleep in a few minutes... had I known it would go this well I would have skipped the toddler bed!!!!

In baby news, we are planning on putting the crib up this week for the baby! VERY exciting! I can't wait! Thursday I will be 35 weeks, which is a day past how far along I made it with Addie, we can't wait for that milestone to be past! We should be totally prepared by then, clothes and diapers are bought, crib will be up, and carseat installed , we are ready... but hope to make it a few more weeks! VERY exciting!

I now have 3 appointments a week. I see my regular doctor once a week for a regular prenatal appointment, I see an MFM twice a week for NSTs, one of those appointments also has a doppler ultrasound, and next week, I have a growth ultrasound... so I am busy, and being watched very closely! It is reassuring and stressful at the same time! NSTs are usually about 15 minutes, unless baby is not active enough... I always THOUGHT she was really active, but always seem to be stuck there longer because she isn't doing much! I think she is just a stinker already and doesn't like to be spied on.

Busy Week!!!!!

I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I had better. We have been so busy lately! We are working on painting our kitchen cabinets, which is a huge job... a huge job that is made even harder when you have a baby to entertain and a dog looking for trouble to get in!!!!


I took most of the week off so we could work on painting, and hopefully get it done in a week, but things came up, and we had to put off things a lot. So we got a little less than half done. I took before pictures, so I will post the before and after, when we are hopefully done next week.


Here is a picture of Addie and Elsie while we painted:

Addie was a baby bum a lot, we left her in her jammies most of the day. I think she liked it though :)

We also got new bedding this week! I ordered it last week, and they said it would be 2-4 weeks, so I was pleasantly surprised to get it this week. Here is Addie while we switched out the bedding.

You can see Elsie off to the side, lurking, she usually loves to play in the sheets when we change the bedding. Our old bedding was so threadbaron, so we really needed to upgrade. LOVE the new set... I will have to put Addie on the bed and take a picture... because every picture should have Addie in it, right?

Did you notice her new trick? I just realized in both pictures, she is sucking her lips in... silly girl!

Well, I think that is all we have been up to... nothing too exciting. Wish us luck on finishing the painting... we will need it!!!!!!

I almost forgot... Addie has to go to the doctor tomorrow, Monday, because she has been acting a little weird, not responding to us. It has only happened twice, but when I told the nurse about it at her flu shot, she was concerned enough to have us schedule an appointment. So wish us luck that nothing is wrong, and she was just tired. That is what I thought it was... then Joel started talking about seizures and make me nervous!
