Dancing to the Subaru Commercial

2008-08-11T18:11:00.000-07:00

I have taken several videos in hopes of posting. Addison is walking now and dancing as you will see. Things have been crazy around here, pneumonia, pinkeye, reflux again...I think she has inherited her dancing skills from me (poor baby).

A Day at the Pool

2008-06-24T13:42:00.000-07:00

We got Addison's baby pool out over the weekend. She loved it and would have played for hours. Here are some pics of her in her adorable bathing suit and a video at the end.

Joys:
1) getting to sleep the whole night
2) the weekends (when all I have to be is a mommy and wife)
3) spending time with our adopted families here and in MO

Fears:
1) that I will wake up to a phone call in the middle of the night and it will be someone besides Auggie telling me that something has happened
2) not being a good mom to Addison
3) the dark, in general

Goals:
1) become more organized
2) to not always be in a state of "running late"
3) find a way to channel stress into productive energy

Obsessions/Collections:
1) chocolate
2) getting receipts from my husband
3) clothing in the coral color family

Facts:
1) My birthday is today
2) I consider myself very blassed to have my husband, daughter, and our puppies (I still love them even though they have not been in a post in a while)
3) this post took more thought than I originally expected

Anyone who reads this and has not completed one of these is tagged....

Doesn't She Look So Sweet and Innocent?

2008-06-03T19:17:00.000-07:00

1st Birthday

2008-05-28T19:36:00.000-07:00

Thank you to everyone for coming to Addison's party! Here are some pictures from Saturday. You may notice that Addison does not look amused at all, but she had a painful ear infection and a low grade fever. Otherwise she would have been excited.

One of the only smiles of the day!

Update

2008-05-13T16:24:00.000-07:00

We dedicated Addison on Sunday, Mother's Day and joined Freedom Church. Auggie gave me an emerald ring (Addison's birthstone). He said one day I could pass it down to her when she is older. I thought it was sweet.
Here are some of the pictures I took while trying to get her birthday picture. She was not into taking pictures much.

Goodbye Ear Infections!

2008-04-23T17:35:00.000-07:00

Today Addison had her tubes put in. We took some pictures before the surgery. She was so cute in her hospital gown and was so good even though she was hungry. Afterwards was a different story. She had a rough time waking up but is feeling fine now! Thanks for all of the prayers, calls, and encouragement.

Never a Dull Moment...

2008-04-02T19:48:00.000-07:00

Our poor baby had her second and third ER visit over the weekend. She had a mild cough Sat night and by early Sunday morning she was weezing and had labored breathing. So once again we made our way to the St Francis emergency room. After two HOUR long breathing treatments, stereoids, chest x-rays, tons of tests, another double ear infection and 8 hours of fun...we were discharged, only to get prescriptions filled and mom got to take a shower and then back we went. After two more hours, in the hallway with a styrofoam cup that had oxygen hoses taped to it, Addison was admitted to the Children's hospital with bronchiolitis (I had never heard of it before). We stayed overnight and she was released on Monday afternoon. They were wonderful! Addison actually loved the huge metal crib and liked the doctors and nurses too. We will be going to the ENT for tubes soon.

She was such a good happy baby, despite how sick she was. Here are a couple of pictures with her nebulizer, which she now reaches for with a smile.

Addison loves to lean into the mask and squish her face. It makes me laugh...she is so silly...

Easter Dress

2008-03-22T17:28:00.000-07:00

I took some pictures of Addison in her Easter dress today. I was hoping to get her in some green grass but our yard is so soggy that we had to use the front bushes for some green. As you can see, the rocks quickly became more fun than smiling for the camera. Happy Easter to everyone!

Crawling and teeth!

2008-03-11T15:44:00.000-07:00

Addison is crawling now. She is not very fast yet, but I am confident it will not take her very long. She also has two teeth that came in the last week of Feb. I wanted to post a picture with the announcement but I cannot seem to get one. I am so happy they are here!!!

9-Month Pictures

2008-03-11T14:03:00.000-07:00

Katie took Addison's 9-month pictures and did a fantastic job. Ms Addison did not want to sit on her bottom so it made it more interesting. These are my favorites...Thank you so much, Katie!

ERs and Popsicles

2008-02-23T14:05:00.001-08:00

Double ear infections, high fevers, runny nose, cough, breathing treatments and the flu (vomiting and diarrhea). Poor baby has had it all...including her first trip to the emergency room. Addison got really dehydrated from the flu symptoms (very scary and happens so fast!!!) and we had to take her in. Luckily they did not have to put in an IV-thanks to our wonderful ER nurse. He suggested putting a grape popsicle in her Pedialyte and she has been drinking it every since. Something about the sugar and the cold going down makes a good combo.

She likes orange too...

Despite the sickness, Addison is trying to crawl....

Starts with the toy...

Leaning forward....

On all fours...

Stretching....

And down on the belly...

Oh well....maybe next time.

Thank you Mom for coming in late at night to help us with our very sick baby! We were so glad you were here.

Thank you Sandy for taking care of her the day the diarrhea started and for cleaning all her clothes for me. You are so sweet and we love you!

Fun Comparison

2008-02-08T13:55:00.000-08:00

I thought I would take a picture to see the difference between this month old picture and 8 1/2 month picture on Addison's beloved changing table.

Addison is not smiling at the camera very easily anymore...

She is much more interested in anything hanging off it.

Addison's First Words

2008-01-09T09:30:00.000-08:00

You will have to excuse the recording quality but it was all I had to capture Addison's first words. I think she has learned to say "Mama". At least that is what is sounds like to me.

Christmas

2007-12-26T18:35:00.001-08:00

Addison really loved her toys this year. This is Buttercup...

This is a blanket that Nanna made....

She loved her Cabbage Patch doll and playing with the Nativity set.

Julia, me, my mom, and Jodie in our new PJs.

And lastly, a video with the wrapping paper.

Addison's First Christmas Program

2007-12-20T19:06:00.000-08:00

Well, it started on a sad note...

Can you see the crocodile tears?

At least it ended on a happy note!

It is all a blurrrr....

2007-12-19T07:32:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a while since we have seen anyone so I thought I might fill people in. The week of Thanksgiving my friend had her first adorable baby girl. I went that weekend to see her and stayed for the weekend at my parents house with Addison. The next weekend Auggie and I took Addison to my parents' house so we could go on vacation to Orlando. Last weekend we went to pick her up. Next weekend we will go back to Missouri for the holidays so it may be a while before I get to see you all. It has been crazy and fun to see all our old friends in MO-especially since many of them had not seen Addison yet. However, I have so much laundry and things to catch up on, I am not sure when I will ever get it all done. Auggie has been such a sweetheart and has been running Chirstmas errands and doing laundry too. Our 4 year anniversary is today so Thanks and I love you, babe!

Finally to the pictures....here are some of our sweet daughter with Santa.

Sunglasses

2007-11-22T16:47:00.000-08:00

Over Thanksgiving my sister and I were playing with Addison and put her sunglasses on her. She looks so funny with her tiny nose.

Halloween

2007-10-31T19:51:00.000-07:00

Addison's first halloween and she did great! She was the cutest monkey there.

Her friend, Aubrey, the skunk.....

Her only smile on camera in costume...Thanks, Dannielle!

Being a monkey must be really exhausting!

Leopard Print

2007-10-29T13:56:00.001-07:00

This is a new outfit and Miss Addison was hammin' it up so I tried to catch a couple of shots.

4-month Pictures

Mandi did a fantastic job! I just love them all!!! Thanks again Mandi!

Shots of the puppies

Arachnophobia!!!

2007-10-07T20:40:00.000-07:00

I woke up the other morning and turned on the light to find this creature in my room. The picture is fuzzy due to my being a little nervous.

I know there is not anything to show the scale, but it's body was as big around as my finger. It took a long time to catch because it could see the flashlight when I tried to find it. It jumped around and tried to attack with its nasty legs up in the air at me.

Terminix will be here in the morning!!!

2007-09-22T18:58:00.001-07:00

And to think I was worried that Phoebe would resent a new baby in the house. She is one of Addison's biggest fans. I think it is so cute when she cuddles with her. Rosco likes her too but he is a little more cautious and keeps more distance.

2007-09-11T16:06:00.000-07:00

Watching VeggieTales and loving it...

Apparently so does Rosco...

Playing in the exersaucer...

Tagged and didn't know it!

2007-08-30T18:19:00.000-07:00

I have been so busy lately that I got behind in looking at everyone's blogs. I did not even know I had been tagged so sorry it is so late.

1. I LOVE M*A*S*H! I own every season on DVD. It took several birthdays and a couple of Christmas' but I finally got them all.

2. I eat goldfish and applesauce together. Not at the same time but a bite of goldfish...swallow...a bite of applesauce....swallow, repeat! It is a good salty/ sweet combo. I discovered that I liked it after many roadtrips growing up. They were good snacks for kids.

3. I HATE to read!!!!!!! If I could go through the rest of my life with out picking up a book, I would. In fact, the only reading I have done recently is the Bible.

4. I cannot stand the smell of hamburger while it is cooking. Usually when I make something with it, I get so grossed out that I lose my appetite all together.

5. My first job was at Lambert's Cafe. Yep, I wore the bowtie and suspenders for almost 3 years.

6. My artwork has been exhibited in an art museum. When I was in the 1st grade, I had the best Pig in a Blanket drawing. I remember I got to outline it with a permanent marker and it was hung in the local art museum for about a week.

7. I love architecture. I actually have a full set of house plans that I designed. I went to college to become an architect but decided that it would not be worth the sacrifice to miss out on having a family. I would love to restore old homes as a hobby. There is a town in Colorado called Silverton. Most of the homes are from different periods and they have all been restored. It is amazing.

Some fun in the sun....

Picture Assortment

2007-08-16T18:16:00.001-07:00

I gotta keep an eye on her!

2007-08-06T11:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Addison was taking a nap and I heard her start to fuss. I got up to check on her, but before I got to her room, she stopped fussing. I thought I would go ahead and look in on her and this is what I found. Silly little girl!

What a Cutie!!!

2007-07-24T14:27:00.000-07:00

She's awake!

2007-07-14T13:44:00.000-07:00

People always tell me that they never get to see Addison awake so I snapped a couple of shots while she was playing this afternoon.

Stow N Go

2007-07-07T17:24:00.000-07:00

We finally got a minivan and we love it! It is so much more baby and puppy friendly than the Focus. We are excited to take our next roadtrip with so much space.

Bath Time

2007-07-03T17:19:00.000-07:00

Here are some bath time pictures and some hanging out on the changing table. Addison loves having her diaper changed. She smiles the most during that time.

Newborn pictures

2007-06-21T10:57:00.000-07:00

Here are my favorite newborn pictures that Mandi took when Addison was a week old. Thanks Mandi!!!

Daddy's Photography

2007-06-05T11:21:00.000-07:00

Addison had her newborn pictures taken yesterday. Her daddy wanted to have fun too so he snapped a few shots. I will add her other pics once they are finished. There are some of the puppies too. They are so good with her and like some of the extra baby items around the house.

Addison Paige

2007-05-26T06:05:00.001-07:00

Addison Paige Terbrock was born on May 24. She was 8 lbs 11 oz and is just adorable.
