Yes, we have hair.  Addie enjoyed a new do in the bath tub the other night that I just had to share.  

We are enjoying a beautiful sun-shiny day here in MS.  Addie is playing in the yard with random sticks and rocks as I watch her from the swing - a very nice situation if you ask me.  We have suffered thru a small virus this week BUT thankfully, her ear infections are gone!!  Let's hope that continues.  

We are trying to be patient and await one of our two grandmothers arrivals.  She should be here in a couple of hours.

FISHY FISHY

Have you ever seen a cuter fishy face?  I doubt it.

One, Two, Three...

It's a sad day in Greenwood, Mississippi.  Addie has had a rash of ear infections since Thanksgiving.  She has had three and we found out today that her third never completely went away.  So what's the result?  One shot today, one shot tomorrow, and one shot Wednesday...  No fun!  And it's Rocephin which stings like the dickens.  What are the dickens?

Pray for our little one to be able to withstand the pain and get rid of her ear infections.  

Next step...  Tubes.

FOUND EM

For those of you who haven't heard the wonderful news, I FOUND MY RINGS!!!  I had put the metal thing you see back on the shelf and when I did, it grabbed my rings without me knowing it, and held them for over 3 weeks.  I had no idea where my ring was until one day I was dusting and I pulled the thing off the shelf and my rings were laying behind it.  WOW!  What a blessing!  We were going to file the insurance that week.  Praise the LORD!!

Back Home

Now that Christmas is over, we have settled in back home and Addie is doing all sorts of new things.  She is using a sippee cup all the time now for milk which she still calls "Ma Ma," ad she also fed herself yesterday with her fork.  A couple days ago, she fell asleep while she was in her highchair - I must have worn her out that morning.  We have also started brushing her teeth.  ALL 14 of them!!!  She got 7 new teeth since we left for Christmas.  

The picture of her sitting in her rocking chair very attentively is when I put in her first Barney DVD.  She was convinced it was a book and wanted me to read it, then I played the DVD and she sat still except for clapping occasionally for the first 10 minutes.  Thanks Grandadd

y!

And the last picture was one I had to include...  LOOK at those jugs!  I know I will get in trouble for that one but I just had to.  

FIRE PIT!!!

My mom got me a fire pit for Christmas, and we have really enjoyed it.  We have had smores a couple times and now no longer depend on our shredder for destroying classified documents (or bank statements).  We have a box that we affectionately call the burn pile that we will empty upon our next fire night.  Thanks Mom!

First BooBoo

Our first major blood shed involved a busted lip on both sides and a popcorn tin.  I think the popcorn tin won because Addie still has a little scar.  She handled the pain well and was still able to "bub, bub, bub" while running her fingers over her lips.  (That action is really hard to describe in words...)
