Hair Puller

addisyn has started pulling her own hair, and it's driving me crazy!! at first she only did it during feedings, where she would actually pull so hard that her head gets pulled off at an angle! and she starts screaming and crying! man, it's almost impossible to pry her fingers off her hair! now, she pulls her hair any time, not just while she eats. the poor thing, it's aweful to see the look of pain on her face when she does it, like she's saying "why are you hurting me?" the crazy butt!

maddy's birthday party went well yesterday. we had about 13 adults and about 10 kids. i cooked WAY too much food and had at least 4 or 5 days worth of leftovers! i've been pigging out on all the food and chips, and making myself sick hahha. sam, cora, and maddy had such an awesome time. they had so much fun, and maddy loved all of her presents. i didn't take too many pictures (just b/c i felt so frazzled with so many ppl LOL), but i have a few good ones. i'll have to post them next time. i did make her thank you cards today, and i think they look cute!

Roller

i got a great series of shots of addisyn rolling onto her back. she and sammy were on the floor playing with each other. it still amazes me how focused addi can be. she will look at someone for forever, following them and with this look of intense concentration! LOL. it makes me laugh to see something so tiny, with this look of a wise old lady :)

here are some shots of addisyn rolling onto her back:



she is constantly rolling onto her back, and gets so angry after a few minutes on her back. she starts screaming and kicking!

as i said earlier, sammy and maddy were on the floor playing with each other and i got some really cute pictures of them together. it's really hard to get some good pictures of sammy with addi, since he's so active and moves around so much, i can't get him to sit still enough to get pictures of him and addi.



another thing that has been happening this week is maddy wanting to pee in the toilet. she's actually pee'ed 3 times in the toilet! she went around with no diaper on for several hours yesterday. she kept running back and forth into the bathroom saying she wanted to pee...on and off the toilet. she was driving me crazy!! i'm not sure if i'm ready to potty train her yet...i mean, i can't keep running to the bathroom with her so many times a day, while also feeding, holding, etc with addi. but then again, i would just LOVE to have her out of diapers too. it's so funny b/c sam and cora didn't want to potty train until they were 3 yrs old, and maddy isn't even 2 yet. i would like to let her run around the house with no diaper on, but i just don't want to have her pee on the floor or the carpet, b/c i might never find it to clean it up LOL. we'll just have to wait and see.



i can't wait for preschool to start up again in sept...then i think i can concentrate more on potty training.

Odds and Ends

sam, cora, and maddy were just playing in the toy room and i just HAD to jump on and document what they were saying LOL LOL! sam and cora were playing with the toy mommy and baby figurines, and this is what i heard...

sammy: "i need to go poopoo, mommy"
cora: "okay, go poopoo."
sammy: "thank you. can i take a bath?"
cora: "no, honey, you can't take a bath."
sammy: "please, mommy."
cora: "no, honey."

i just had to laugh about the funny/crazy things they say when they play. well, it's been a long time since i last posted, again. maddy's bite healed very nicely and quickly....but she now had ANOTHER bite from an outdoor birthday party we went to last saturday. this bite is on the back of her thigh. it's big and red, but not as bad as her ankle was. i think we caught it in time. i'm keeping it clean, and putting neosporin on it and covering it with a bandaid. i hope it goes away soon. i know from now on i'm going to put bug spray on here when she's going to be out for long periods of time.

addisyn had her 2 month appointment last tuesday. she's grown so much! she now weighs 11 lbs 8oz, and is 24 inches long. so that puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height. she is sooo long. i'm just not used to having a big baby! it's pretty nice to not have to worry about how much she is growing, especially since she's not bottle fed (like my other ones mainly were) where i knew exactly how much they were eating. we have the most wonderful ped. nurse practitioner! i just LOVE her to death, and wouldn't think of ever going to another doctor, except in for an unplanned sick visit or unless she is unavailable when we have to go. we are so fortunate that my sister recommended her to us when we were looking for pedatricians before the twins were born.


things have been going pretty well here! addisyn continues to be a very good sleeper! i have been SO VERY blessed with such great sleepers in all my children. i so thought our luck had run out with sleeping, but addi has followed in her older siblings' footsteps :) now if only i would go to bed at an early hour, then i would also be getting a lot of sleep too. but i just can't seem to go to bed early, i feel like after the kids go to bed, it's ME time and i do things that i would like to do, such as watch a little tv, or be on my laptop to arrange all my digital scrapbook stuff. so i always end up going to be at or after midnight. oh well, one of these days i'll get a full 8 hours of sleep :)

i hear my little peanut/ladybug crying. she just woke up from her nap :)
