Sleeping issues...

So, not only will Addi not put on her Jammies, but she WILL NOT SLEEP IN HER OWN BED!! Only with us.... We are trying everything, and nothing is working. At least she is good at cuddling (with us and Smokey!)!

New Christmas Card Pictures?

Not sure if Santa would think this girl is good or bad! But she looks funny for sure! My uncle fitted her with the boots and the other one I tried to pose her and asked her to smile. :) She is a GREAT smiler... right?

Giving Thanks...

So, this year we had Thanksgiving at our house with my mom, Lee, Roxi, Sabrina, and Uncle Phil. For the most part it was great, very relaxing and fun... Jay (as always) overestimated the amount of food we needed and if we are done eating turkey by February I will be surprised.

There is a lot to give thanks for this year... a healthy family... a new baby on the way... success at work... but today, what I am thankful for is that Addi is FINALLY starting to listen! After months of trying to figure out what will make her listen and trying EVERYTHING (time out, yelling, slapping her hand, pretending to cry...) somehow timeout is starting to work! She actually stays there (a big deal) and two, seems to act better after being in it!

If only I could stop laughing silently when she is in it... she just looks too cute!

Happy (Late) Halloween!

Halloween number 2 was much more interesting than Addi's first one. She LOVED her costume (actually wore it several times prior to Wednesday) and understood how to knock on doors. When the person opened the door, she would (sometimes) say "tra-treet" and "tank go" and reach into their bowl for candy.

Jay also had fun bad mouthing all the stuff Addi got ("Who gives pencils???") and tried to refused candy to a neighbor kid who made fun of his Purdue shirt. Next year should be even more interesting!
