First Real Haircut

Addie got her first haircut last Thursday. She did really well...at first. We kind of pushed our luck each time I said I wanted it cut a bit shorter. I was hoping for an adorable bob cut, but it's not quite thick enough or long enough on the sides. She still looks pretty darn cute and I don't have to worry about "fixing" her hair. She never leaves bows or hair ties in anyway.







We are dealing with climbing a LOT these days. If I turn around for 10 seconds she's on top of the table. She loves to climb in the chair with her booster seat. It's like an indoor jungle gym. Of course, she just about gives me a heart attack everytime she climbs it. Her shins are covered in bruises. It's nearly impossible to cook dinner b/c I feel like I need to be by her the entire time. Micah got this idea to put the chair on the carpet and cover the ground with pillows. We're hoping she'll get her passion for climbing out of her system and be done with it. It hasn't worked so far.




On Saturday, Addison was invited to her friend Hailey's 2nd birthday party. We had a lot of fun. She really loved Hailey's new jeep. Addison was enthralled with the little radio in the dashboard. She must be incredibly intelligent b/c she left it on AM radio and listened to the news about Pakistan and Serbs and all the conflict that is occurring in that region.


This little boy driving the jeep got out and opened the door for her when she wanted out. It was precious.

P.S. WANTED
We have a huge favor to ask anyone who's willing...we have to find a place for our sweet lab, Kaylee, to stay the second week in July. We'll be in Colorado for a family vacation. Usually, my mom and dad watch them, but they will be visiting my brother in Australia that month and so we have to make other arrangements. We have a pretty good idea where Lucas can stay (he gets along with everyone, everything, everywhere). But, Kaylee is not so friendly to other dogs. She's an alpha and it's hard for her to adjust. She's also had a hard life. Before we adopted her she was shuffled from home to home while her owner was sent to prison. To make a long story short, she's perfect in every way and totally easy to care for (she's trained very well and won't get on your furniture either). She's so gentle and loving with children too. She lets Addie climb all over her and dig in her food dish while she's eating. Aren't you impressed? We were wondering if someone could keep her at their house for the week? We would be willing to pay you what a kennel would charge, we just don't want to put her in one b/c it's depressing to be stuck in a cage all day and she's very tender-hearted.



She's just sweet as can be. I promise you will enjoy her so much you probably won't want to give her back...but I couldn't live without her, so you'd have to, of course. :)
