Has it been a while????

I am so sorry I have not kept up on the blog. I can sum it up with my new slogan

"Teething...it sucks for everyone "

This is why I am able to update tonight

Addy has been growing and growing. She understands that there is more to the sitting thing and if she works with her arms and legs something will happen...she just cant quite get it down. I will not be surprised if any day she starts crawling.

Addy has been sleeping better now, thank goodness. It was funny just two days ago she fell asleep while eating. I guess this proves that mom is a good cook!I am still trying to get my "new mommy look" all ironed out and I decided to go a bit shorter than before. Here are some photos from the last few days. My hair stylist, Michelle at Willow Salon in Maple grove said she had a great idea. I told her go with it and it ended up great! Here are some pictures, and if you think I look tired...well...I am.

I will update with more videos soon. Addy is just so cute and she is so active now it is amazing how she keeps growing.

Ahoy! I hope ye all enjoyed International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Lift ye Grog and Celebrate!

Look at me grow!

I know it has been a while since I have updated with pictures. I do have some new videos for everyone. Our little piggy is growing so fast. She is eating more and more and is getting very good at it. Her pallet is growing as well. She is starting to like her fruits more and more.

We have had a few big days around here. Last Wednesday 9/10 Addy started sitting up on her own! It is really neat to see her learn new skills but makes me sad at the same time because she is growing so fast. Just as we practice sitting up Addy surprises me last night with being ticklish! Tonight I was videoing Addy sitting up for everyone and go figure I got her rolling from her tummy to her back. That is the first time I have ever seen her do that. Then I had a flashback when Parker started doing that...it was not that long when he started crawling. I guess we really have to start baby proofing the house.

Anyway, Justin and I caught it all on video. I hope you all enjoy!











I would also ask that you all keep my co-worker Anne and her daughter Katie in yours prayers. She lost her husband on September 14th after fighting pancreatic cancer. Anne put it best when she said "he was Stubborn and Strong to the end". I will miss Mike tremendously. He knew what life was all about and he knew how to live it.

Addy's ear appointment

We went in to Children's Hospital yesterday and Addy did great! We did get news that both of her ears work, she can hear. Ironically they did the original test that failed her left ear and this time she failed her rigth ear. The Dr. said it is most likely earwax build up. We will go in to have her ear canals cleaned and have another hearing test when she is about 7mo. This one we will not have to sedate her...thank goodness. We are home today, she is still not quite herself and cannot keep much of her food down. We are just taking it slow and resting a lot. I hope my little bunny is feeling 100% by the end of the day.

Update

Addy had her Post OP check up and it looks like she is just as healthy as can be. I am amazed that she is now at 14.4 lbs from 13 since her wellness check up a few weeks ago. Wednesday we will head into Children's Hospital for a sedated Auditory Brain stem Response test. Basically they are going to measure her brain waves as it reacts to sound to identify why she is not passing her newborn hearing test in her left ear. I will keep everyone posted as soon as we get home from the procedure.

She has also kicked up her eating. She now will consume 4oz of either a fruit or veggie at night. Her favorites so far are carrots, sweet peas, green beans, sweet potato, and pears. She is not a huge fan of the squash but will eat it. She does not like bananas, applesauce or peaches very much. It looks like we have a vegetable eater on our hands.
