Addie's Weekly Photo
A new girl: Having tubes put in her ears seems to have already paid off! Addison sleeps better, eats better, and is all around a happier girl! Most of all, we haven't had to pay even one visit to the doctor since! The most traumatizing experience since the tubes have been the drops we have to put in her ear for the first 5-7 days after surgery. Addison did NOT like the drops and would fight us as hard as possible to keep us from administering them.
Words and sentences: I love listening to her ever expanding vocabulary. The cutest is that recently Addison has developed the sense to talk in sentences. Although her sentences are usually babble followed by her point. For example, "ma ma, blah blah blah blah, car"..... or "da da, blah blah blah blah outside", it's so very cute to listen to her! Other cute sayings:
"I'll help mama" - She loves to help out and if I ask, she gets very excited! She will help throw diapers away, help load the dish washer, etc.
"It's delicious" or "mmm, delicious" - Nana started this and Addison picked up on it quickly.
"aww, poor_____" - I don't know where this came from, but she says it in many situations. One example is when she asked me one day where dada was and I told her he's at work. Her reply was "awwww, poor dada". Another example is when she had eaten all of her food one day and asked where'd it go and I replied it's all gone because you ate it. Her reply was "awww, poor food". When Mickey mouse cartoons are over she will ask where Mickey went and I will reply that he's all gone, and of course her reply will be "awww, Poor Mickey". Too funny!
"Not___" - Addie will confirm when something is "this and not that". For example, after I correct her when she calls milk, juice, she will reiterate "milk....not Juice". Another example is if we tell her she can't have something (cookies, candy, etc.) she will say "no cookies".
Clean Up: Addison gets excited about cleaning up. We sing a song "clean-up, clean-up, every-body, every-where, clean-up, clean-up, everybody do your share". Addie will look all around the room for more toys to put in the bins and won't stop until they're all away. A clean toy room makes mommy a happy one!
All about Cooper
4 Months!: Cooper turned 4 months old on Saturday the 7th.
Still Teething: Cooper has been drooling for months now and we still haven't seen any teeth poke through. Some days are worse than others and he will drench his shirts and sleeves. Other days it's like he just stops teething. He doesn't seem too irritable from the teething either way though as long as he's got a paci or his hands to chew on.
Reaching for toys: Cooper has started reaching for toys. It's not an obvious reach, but if you watch him on his play mat and there is a toy within reach, he will moves his arms/hands in a way that he is trying to get the object.
Pulling up: Cooper gets better every week about pulling himself up when we hold his hands. If he is in laying position and we hold his hands and help him pull, he can go from laying to standing position! What a strong little guy!
