Addie's Monthly Photo
All about Addie
Poo Problems... Again - We've posted about this before, but it's happening again. I think Addie has gotten so used to it that it really doesn't seem to phase her like it used to but it breaks our hearts to see her miserable. It only happened once this month at the very beginning of the month and lasted for about 4 days where she kept complaining about her belly. We ended up following her doctors recommendation and giving her some miralax. It was only a matter of 24 hours and she seemed fine again.
TV and Movie Show characters - Addie had been dressing up like Sheriff Callie and Vanellope (from Wreck it Ralph) quite a bit this month. On several occasions, she told me that she wants to change the theme of her party to Sheriff Callie or "Sugarland". If we hadn't already bought Frozen themed decor, I would gladly change it. Plus, I know that in the blink of an eye, she will change her mind again and decide on a different theme. We'll keep it Frozen themed this year. :)

All about Cooper
Needs a wet wipe - Cooper had maybe one or two colds this whole season and each time he would have big sneezes that required a wet wipe. Ever since his colds have cleared up, he will ask for a wet wipe every time he sneezes. We explain to him that he doesn't need one, but he insists.
Playing nice - We've written before about how Cooper was getting pretty rough with Aribelle when he would play. In the last month though, he has started to tame down. He will find toys for her and sit and talk to her whereas he used to run over to her and mow her down or roll over her and try to wrestle. It's awesome to see this new side because I'm not as anxious about leaving the room as I used to be.
Big boy - We somewhat warned him ahead of time that "big boys don't use paci's" and when he turns 3, he will be a big boy. Sure enough, the night of his party we didn't have a paci in Addie's bed (they had a slumber party). He wasn't too thrilled and even had a few tears, but went right to sleep from such a big day. By the time Monday came around and he was back in his own bed, he asked about the paci but didn't cry. The following night he again asked, but no tears. By the third night, he didn't even ask and by the end of the month it was like he just accepted it. Occasionally, he would mention it and ask if he's going to get a "big boy paci", but we just reminded him that paci's are for babies.

All about Aribelle
"Wow" - She will whisper this and sometimes say it in a normal voice and it sort of goes along with the "whoa" that she started last month. It varies on when she will do it. Sometimes it will be when she goes into a room, sometimes it will be at the sight of a toy, and sometimes it will be at the sight of the kids doing something in her presence. Either way it's adorable!! :)
Munchkin laugh/giggle - Cooper did this around this age too, but it is absolutely HILARIOUS!! The only way I can describe it is that it sounds like a munchkin. Too funny. :)
Screaming - Aribelle loves to scream. She's a girl so it's expected. BUT, her timing is not always pleasant. For example, when we are in the car she will scream to get someone's attention or to get someone to play with her. Once she gets going, Addie and Cooper get annoyed and then they start yelling at her. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have all three screaming at the same time.

All about baby #4
Nausea and food aversions - On 3/7 I woke up with horrible nausea. It was literally the morning of Cooper's party and I felt like I would throw up all. day. long. I had felt a little nauseous over the week but not this bad. I think it was party from the smells of all of the foods we were making and possibly some of the excitement from the weekend. I'm having LOTS of food aversions. Foods I would normally love are turning my stomach. Cucumbers, Avocado, other misc veggies and anything with potent smells are keeping me from eating.
Weight loss - I've lost about a pound over the last few weeks. It's not too abnormal for me to lose weight in the first month or two so I pretty much expected it. I'm sure part of it is from the nausea too.
Exhausted - On 3/15 I noticed that my exhaustion has taken a turn for the worst. I feel at times like I haven't slept at all when in fact, I've slept longer than usual I remember experiencing this with Cooper quite a bit.
