45 weeks (Oct 8th -14th)

This is a first. I did not take a single picture this week. Ugh how frustrating. I didn't get one of every week for my pricious little ones year. But, I did keep track of what happened this week...

Addie is as cute as ever. She is real smiley and talks jibber all the time. She is still needy and hates it when you put her down in front of her toys and walk away to do something. She wants you to hang out and play with her. Can you blame the girl? She hasn’t been going to sleep very well. She is real tired after school and falls asleep eating dinner. Then when you try to quietly and carefully change her into her jammies and put her in bed she wakes up and is wired for the next hour. She also has her fourth tooth coming through on the bottom. That could be adding to the problem. Oh help me Lord, when will I ever get the laundry done when this child won’t sleep? She is also pulling herself up very well and holding on to the furniture. She will be cruising before we know it.

Izzy is also as cute as ever. I might be a little biased, but I’m allowed. Things that she says are “We can do it like a family.” She also says “anything” when she means “nothing.” “Izzy what are you doing in your room?” Her reply is, “Anything.” Also when she wants to say she already did something she says, “Just ready did.” I love to capture these little nuances so she can see how cute she was as a little girl.

Last week I had told you about the money she gave so I wouldn’t miss her while I was at work. On Wednesday she asked for it back because she missed me at school. So we gave money back so she wouldn’t be sad. I wonder what made her think four dollar bills would make me think of her. I guess it’s the thought that makes me think of her. How sweet.

On Wednesday, we also had dance lessons and we went to our weekly meal at Runza with our friends after. Izzy was drinking her milk with a straw and tilted it to get more. Needless to say the milk ended up all over the front of her. Before I knew it Izzy was stripping down in the middle of Runza. We had to talk about getting undressed in a public place. She wasn’t having it. She wasn’t going to put on her wet leo so we took it off and put her sweatshirt over the top. Good thing it was a little long and covered her toosh.

Well, thanks for reading about my wonderful adventures. I hope yours are as heart-warming and frustrating as mine. It will make you a wonderful and patient person.
