Accident Prone?

Many of you may know that I have had my share of mishaps and have even broken a few bones, but will my daughter take after me? Addison is not scared of anything and plays hard. I think she is somewhat of a tomboy, like her mommy was. :) She usually has bruises on her legs, goose eggs on her forehead, etc. The other day, she was playing(alone), holding a big plastic toy, lost her balance, fell on her bum, and hit her chin on the toy, causing her to bite her tongue pretty bad. It punctured it, but luckily did not go all the way through. Since it was bothering her, and she wouldn't eat much of anything, I let her have ice-cream for dinner. :)

Not sure if you can really see the wound or not, but it's healing pretty good now.

Since she IS accident prone, I got her this helmet. jk Actually, they had a safety day at daycare and we were able to buy these fitted helmets for $4. There are velcro strips in the helmet, that I can remove when she gets a little bigger, so she can wear it longer. Now she just needs a little bike...but maybe I'll wait on that...don't want any broken bones...yet.

Big Girl!

My baby has graduated to her 'big girl' car seat, and she just LOVES it! She loves looking out the window, watching mommy in the mirror, and having much more leg room. She used to cry almost everytime I put her in the infant seat, and now she practically JUMPS in. Even has her very own cup holder! This was her first time in it, all smiles.

Comfy enough to take a nap...or watch a dvd when we go on our trip up to grandma's.

Fireworks

This was Addison's first time watching fireworks. She wasn't scared by the noise at all, and enjoyed watching them, except for being really tired. She fell asleep half way through, but woke up again because of them being so loud. I think she was just a little annoyed, but watched them anyway, and of course fell asleep as soon as I put her in the car.

Waiting for the fireworks...having a snack.

Getting sleepy...where did Addison go?

Ohhh...pretty...but oh so sleepy.

Night night.

Addison's Surgery

We started off July with Addie getting tubes in her ears. It was a very early morning, which made for a long day, but she did very well. I scooped her out of bed and put her in the car. Of course by the time we got to the surgery center she was WIDE awake...at 6 am. She sat and played on her bed until it was time for surgery, and she didn't even cry when they carried her off(which made it easier for me). She was a little fussy and groggy after surgery, which took a total of 15 minutes. I gave her Tylenol a couple times during the day, but now she is such a happier girl. We go back for a check-up next week, and to get some ear plugs for the water. I'm just happy she's not miserable anymore. Here are a few pics from that day.

Hello?

Waiting for the doctor....silly girl.

This is how I found her, konked out on her bedroom floor that afternoon.

This is not typical for her, but she was still feeling the drugs.
