"Addie is AMAZING"

These are the words the endocrinologist said to me at Addie's follow up appointment yesterday! It was wonderful. Luckily we didn't have to wait long, and the appointment went pretty quickly.

Addie is now 21.4 lbs and 31.25"!!!!! Yahoo! She is in the 10th percentile for weight, and the 25th for height.

I just realized I never updated from her 18 month appointment!!!! Oops.... (she was 22 lbs 2 oz and 32" tall, I think these are off, obviously, or she shrunk!)

Anyways, here is her growth chart and why, she is, in fact, amazing!

The endocrinologist thinks she DEFINATELY does not have growth horemone deficiency! She thinks it definately had something to do with her kidney reflux and that she was spitting up so much. So, good news all around!

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

Here is our little taco, how cute does she look?

Actually, I just wanted to show off these super cute bath towels I got... they are actually supposed to be Christmas presents for her, but I couldn't wait! I only bought them so I could figure out how to make them. I am going to make some new ones... anyone have a good rec. on super soft towels?

Addie loves wearing my slippers....

She doesn't like it when they aren't pointing straight though....

She is so funny!!!

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

She is also finally starting to talk more. She is a stubborn little thing! Last week she finally said "mama" TO me! She said it before, but only in a babbling way. She is also saying Grandma (meemaw), we think she says Doggy, she says Ella, and supposedly she said "baby" today... and the old standbys of "boo" and "uh oh" Last week she said "no" it was SO cute... no repeat on that one though!

Ding Dong the Crab is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Ding Dong! The Crab is gone. Which old Crab? That Addie Crab! Ding Dong! The Crabby Crab is gone.Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Crabby Crab is dead. She's gone where the crabbies go, Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know The Crabby Crab is Goooooooone!!!!"

Sorry, did I just break out into song? It really wasn't my fault, it just happened! After a MONTH of one super crabby baby, Happy Addie is BACK!



It wasn't all for nothing, she did get five teeth! She got her 4 molars and one, what is it called? The one that is next to her bottom middle teeth. You know what I mean. So she still needs to get 5 more teeth... hopefully they come in easier!

Addie has found new fun in bathtime, having the faucet on! She loves it... she tries to crab the water... did I just write "crab" the water? I did. I am so used to a CRAB!















Addie has a super dry scalp, I don't know if it is cradle cap or what, but I have been trying to massage her scalp good with a brush in the tub, she likes to "help"

Sometimes she gets confused




There we go!




Looking for more toys!!!!!





She is no longer crabby, but little Naughtypants is still in full force! She loves standing when she shouldn't be.... in the tub:




For some reason when she does this she pats her belly, we don't know why.




Speaking of patting her belly. When she wants food she now reaches for it, and pats her belly, she knows where it goes! She is so brilliant.

Addie loves this bead necklace. I got it at a bachelorette party and she hasn't let it out of her sight since!




Here she is trying to play tug with Elsie







She has a drum set and she likes to take the top off the drum and smash her face into it... again, we don't know why, but she thinks she is hilarious!




She just walks around like this...




Another example of naughty standing, in her cozy coupe.




This is our neighbor in the cozy coupe. Addie trying to get in with her... on the wrong side with no door.




Aother example of standing naughtiness... you can't see, but this is the back of the cozy coupe! She is liable to fall on her head!!!!!!!!




And yet ANOTHER example of standing naughtiness... the couch, or loveseat in this picture.




She has tried to jump up and down on the furniture too.




She is so proud of herself.





These are her naugty faces, well not to the full effect, I haven't been quick enough to capture that. But these are close. When she gets yelled at, this is the face we get in return:




Then after she continues and we tell her "no" again, we get this:



Such a stinker!

I almost forgot to add! Addie is finally saying more words! This weekend she started to say "woof" for dogs! She also says "uh oh" and her favorite word is "oiy" We don't know what it means but she says it ALL the time. Mostly when she wants something, she will reach and say "oiy oiy" but what could it be? Sometimes she says it when she is giving you something too, so we are stumped on that one.

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

Addie had a renal ultasound on Friday. This was to make sure she didn't have any kidney damage from bladder infections or her kidney reflux. They didn't tell us anything there, so we have to wait. Hopefully not too long, I don't know if they will call us with the results or if we have to wait to see the urologist in 2 weeks. So, pray that there is no damage!

She did very well for the ultrasound, she had to lay on her back for the first half, and did great! For the second half she had to lay on her tummy, she liked that less, and was a little squirmy, but she still did good! And she got a little ducky toy! She was so excited for it!

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

In adult news, we painted our hallway this weekend! We painted the trim white and the walls an off whitey kind of color. It took THREE coats! I don't believe there is such thing as "one coat paint" I am so annoyed by it! We still have to do some touching up, but it is done! Now the only room that we have left to paint is "the office" which will be Addie's big girl room. We may or may not paint our living room in the future... maybe if/when we sell our house!

On another note... I am thinking of making my blog public. I can't decide. I feel bad that it is more difficult for some to read and remember to check. But I also don't want any crazies reading it either, so I am having a tough side deciding. Anyone have any suggestions or insight? I know the blog isn't that interesting, but you never know what crazy could read it!!!


Well, better run! I hope everyone has/had a fab holiday weekend!
