Everything Addie

You know how sometimes things in life seem to be just wonderful, like you've been blessed beyond measure? I'm at that point right now. Sure, there are things I would like different in my life, but all-in-all, I'm feeling on top of the world. The pessimistic side of me is telling me to look out, b/c something bad is going to come my way. I'm sure it will, but I trust God more. I'm not at all worried about the future.

One thing I can't believe is that I get to play and love and teach this beautiful little person everyday.



I have good news too! I've accepted a position with the Blue Springs School District working part time in their Parents as Teachers Program. I'm really excited about being a parent educator and making a little extra cash on the side. Micah and I have some school loans from our Master's degrees that need to be kicked to the curb so my salary will be perfect to do that. Since it's flexible, I'll only have to get someone to watch Addie two days a week. See Mom, aren't you glad that I'm obsessive about reading material on babies and toddlers? Now I can put all that information to good use! lol


Here's Addie with her handkerchief hat on. She only leaves it on for about 10 seconds, so I had to distract her while Micah took a photo.


Addie is such a multi-tasker. She can wear an oven mitt and drive her car all at the same time. I love this picture b/c I actually got a shot of her beautiful face. She's so darn quick, we rarely get a good shot of her.


We've filled the end table with toys that Addie can play with and she has discovered how fun it can be to get in it herself. She was scared after the first time she did it, so Daddy is helping her in this picture.

Cool story:
The other day, Addison said "uh-oh" and grabbed her diaper. Then she said "pooh". I went to check her and, sure enough, she needed a diaper change. It happened to a lesser degree later that day. She just said "uh-oh" and grabbed her diaper. She's been going to other rooms to go poop and sometimes shutting the door for privacy, so maybe potty training will be coming sooner than expected. I'm really not going to push her though, b/c she's still young (16 months) and I don't want her to feel pressured to do something she's not ready to do. I'm not sure I'm ready for it either!

That's our highlights for the week. Hope you're having a blessed day!
