Time has been flying by! Towards the middle of January Addison got
pink eye. I knew right when she woke up
something was off and I had a feeling it was pink eye. I knew if I sent her to school, they’d send
her right back home with me, so I made an appointment with her doctor and sure
enough, PINK EYE! Lots of hand washing
and eye drops made her as good as new in 24 hours. Next up, we celebrated Guppy’s birthday. It was pretty uneventful, but Addy sure loves
singing Happy Birthday. The next fun
thing we had planned was a get together for the Super Bowl. We knew we were only going to stay out for
the 1st half of the game because we didn't want Addy getting to bed too late
and starting off the week rocky. On the
short 15 minute drive home, Addy started acting super cranky and said her
stomach hurt. By the time we got home,
she had spiked a fever and was completely needy. She sat on my lap for about an hour and
watched Katy Perry on the halftime show.
She liked the singing and dancing, but you could tell she wasn't herself. After the halftime show, we
headed up to bed, but she still said her stomach hurt and she was so warm. We decided to let her stay in bed with me
hoping the night would go smoothly.
10:30 pm, bath. She was so hot
and I wanted to bring her fever down. It
seemed to cheer her up a bit, but she still looked awful. 11:30 pm, vomiting. At this point, I knew she wasn't going to
school the next day, so we just cuddled and I cross my finger it would pass quickly. The next morning, my dad
mentioned that we always got sick when we had strep (which I have no idea how
he remembers this!), but I decided to check her throat. Her tonsils were HUGE! I saw no white spots, but she was talking
funny because they were so enlarged. I
made a doctor appointment and sure enough strep throat! Addy & I stayed home for 3 days and she
was miserable. The poor kid didn't want
to eat, didn't want to move and just wanted to watch TV or sleep. At one point, she thought she felt better and
wanted to put on a princess dress, but just as quickly took it off and changed
her mind. While sick with strep, we
celebrated Gannon’s birthday. More
singing which made Addy happy briefly!
The poor thing didn't even want to eat some cake!
In February Shelly took Addison
for her first manicure. She was so
excited to get her nails painted and did really well. The woman who did her nails was very sweet
with her and she really had a good time.
Next up was a visit from Justin’s
parents. They got into town on a
Saturday hoping for some nice weather.
While they were here, the temperatures got really cold and we had a
lovely ice storm! They just couldn't get
away from the winter weather! They had
to spend much of their time indoors, but Addy loved having them all to herself
for the week. She even got to go to a
movie with them in the theater! She had
a great time, but as always was super sad when they had to head back home. The following week, we had more winter
weather, but this time we got snow!
Justin & I took her to my parent’s house on one of our snow
days. We took her outback to build a
snowman and go sledding, but she wanted nothing to do with the sled. She helped Justin build a snowman, but then
was totally over it. Lots of layers for
a 20 minute trip outside!
Lately, Addison has become
obsessed with hair bows & headbands.
She wants to wear them (whether they match or not) all the time. Her newest thing to do is rhyme. Just the other night she was running around
in circles yelling, “Cat, Bat, Hat”…”Dad, Mad, Bad”. It was interesting to say the least.
That’s all I can think of at the
moment, next up is a trip from Uncle Adam and Easter!
