Spring Break

I just want to say that I could definitely be a STAY AT HOME MOM! I have done nothing but be LAZY and ENJOY this time at home with Addison. (Yes, as I sit here typing, I am also looking at my living room, thinking 'dang I need to do some spring cleaning'. But Chris says don't worry with and enjoy the days off. I love my husband.) And I am loving every minute spent with my baby. Even the fussy moments with those top two teeth that are trying to come in. That's why we have Tylenol and Teething Tablets. Work like a charm.

By the way, Addison will be 9 months old tomorrow. Yep, you read it right,
9 months old! I am in shock. My child will be 1! in 3 months. Oh my gosh, I better start planning that FIRST Birthday.

Background Frustration?

Can someone explain to me the Blogger background process? The background never looks the same on my page as it did when I picked it out. It is always larger on my page, therefor you are not getting the whole picture. So, explain to me what I am doing wrong. Please!

Providence Giveaway!!!

I got something you might ENJOY!

Carey at Providence is featuring Nat Kat Designs as part of her Spotlight Saturday series. Check it out!

Well, The Wiggins are gone again...

Amy, Jonathan, Nathan, Madelyn, Sarah, and Sam arrived Monday morning about 6 am. They had a pretty busy week planned out to try to see everyone. TRY! Is the key word. Anyway, we ate supper Monday evening with them. This was the FIRST time 5 of the 6 met Addison. Amy came down a few months ago for Paw's funeral and got to meet her then. So needless to say Addison is 8 1/2 months old and just now meeting her cousins. Mady and Sarah were thrilled. And Addison loved playing them. Her and Mady bonded real well. We didn't get to see them again until Friday. Papa grilled some of his famous chicken Friday and then we were suppose to eat waffles this morning but the waffle irons have mysteriously disappeared. Who knows? Anyway we ate pancakes that tasted like waffles. Pretty good! Then had to say our good-byes and send The Wiggins back to Colorado about 9:30. A Sad moment. I have to admit I left before they did just so I didn't have to watch them leave. (and be there when Papa cried)

Here are a few pictures I got during this oh so short visit...

Update...

My poor baby. Addison ran fever again last night, so we went back to the doctor today. Mrs. Brenda wanted a urine culture for further testing. Well let me just tell you from experience, I was not looking forward to that. Those little 'tt' bags they put on her DO NOT WORK! On girls at least. Anyway, here it is 7 hrs later, three bags later and still no sample. We did however get chest x-rays and blood work. And Oh My Gosh, My poor baby! I will just say that she had her first sucker today. And it helped. Then we went back to the doctors office and after looking at her lab work and x-ray they decided to give her a SHOT, a Rocephin shot at that, without the lidocaine. She SCREAMED for 40 minutes! The sucker would not work for this experience. I felt helpless. She could not crawl anymore up in my arms. It was awful. She napped for 2 hrs and seems to be fine now. She has already removed her band aid.
Side note...An hour before her apt she had about 100.5 fever and Chris suggested not giving her anything so that when she gets to the Dr she would have fever. Well this theory did not work. Her fever dropped down to 98 without drugs!

8 months old...

Well, we went to the doctor this morning and of course the minute we walked in the door she is amazingly ALL BETTER. UGH!!! Anyway I am glad her ears and throat checked out fine but WHY ARE WE RUNNING FEVER? And not just a low grade fever to go along with these teeth, it was 102.7 this morning. But not at the doctor, it was only 99.2. Yeah...but what's wrong? And now that we are back home the fever is back! And she is fussy again...UGH!

Anyway, we are 8 months old today

OUR SNOW DAY!!!

This was our neighbors snowman, I loved this picture because you could see the snow falling against the fence.

THE ROBISON'S

The Tuesday before Sammy and Tiera left, they invited us and the Tomlinsons over for supper. It was a sad but enjoyable evening. We have developed a close relationship with this couple and I was sad to see them go. We miss yall!

OUR BED!

She loves playing in her bed! And that is where she learned to pull-up!!!

A NEW HOBBY!!!

She loves playing or I should say digging in her bags. She unloads them if they are in her reach. Which everything is in her reach these days because she is now SCOOTING! Yep, she gets on all 4's and rocks. She is now actually moving forward. Just a few minutes ago I had to put the computer down and grab her and Chris said 'Oh no this house is not even child proofed'. Well looks like I am going to be doing some 'childproofing' on my days off.

Super Bowl Sunday 2010

Just like every other year, my family gathers at my mom's house for our annual Super Bowl Party. We have a great time eating, visiting, and oh yeah watching the game and commercials of course. Well this year was beyond special...Our Saints were in the Super Bowl. It still seems so surreal to be saying that. I mean this team that we have supported throughout the years in losses and very few wins have made it. They actually made it to the end. And WON!!!!! They had an incredible season and finished it off with a bang. Poor Colts! But HOORAY for the SAINTS!!!!! Anyway here are a few shots of my family enjoying the game and each other....
