Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Sweet 16 baby!!

Like Father, Like Daughter

I think the picture explains it all....both are enjoying Ritz crackers while watching the NCAA tournament. Go Jayhawks!!

Sensory Time

Addy missed green Cool Whip day at day care on Wednesday, so we had a little fun at home doing the same thing. First, she didn't know what to think. Then, she really liked it and then about one minute later she had enough. This only lasted a span of 3 minutes or so, but overall she had a blast. However, cleaning up sticky, warm Cool Whip...especially in her neck would be an entirely different experience that I just didn't want to capture with the camera.

Happy 9 month birthday!

Addy turned 9 months on Sunday. Her 9 month well child check is on Wednesday so we don't have her exact height and weight yet, but at home she was 19 lbs 13 ounces and 27 1/2 inches long. She is such a happy girl and she is really beginning to talk. We still don't have any teeth yet, but I do feel something along the bottom! This is such a fun time for us! We've decided to proceed with Addy's ear surgery and her surgery is scheduled for April 8th. We hope that this will help with her speech and balance. Wish us luck!

Some News

Addy had an appointment with Dr. Rone, an ear, nose, throat specialist today because she has had 4 ear infections since November 2008. The doctor gave us two options on how to continue with Addy's ear infections. Option A - continue to treat ear infections with antibiotics or Option B - myringotomy tubes (ear tubes). The doctor was fabulous today about explaining why Addy is getting frequent ear infections and even went as far as doing a hearing test during the exam. Addy just got over her recent ear infection on Sunday and as of today, still has fluid behind her ears. She also has a 5-10% hearing loss due to the fluid behind her ears. So, Tanner and I are praying that we make the right decision and what is best for Addy. We hope to have our decision made by the end of this week.

Photo Shoot

Addy was having a great time on the couch doing her tummy time with close supervision. She was so cute, so we decided to capture some pictures of this rare moment where she is actually enjoying it! We think she was mostly posing for pictures...a natural already.

Makes Mommy Sad....

After our little photo shoot session, Addy pretty much had enough.....poor baby...makes me want to cry too!

Seattle Aquarium

Tanner and I took Addy to the Seattle Aquarium on February 21st. She absolutely had a ball and was so excited to see all the fish! We had a great time and can't wait till she gets bigger to bring her back again.
