The bad luck streak continues....

My poor sweet little girl. Friday we went back to the Dr so he could check up on Addison and her condition. She seemed to be getting a little better throughout the week, but the two medications he gave her didn't seem to be doing much. So when Friday morning approached, we found out she had a temp. of 102.3 at the Dr's office. He listened to her lungs and said she still sounded very congested. Apparently the meds didnt do anything for her. He diagnosed her with Bronchitis :( He wrote us a Px for some very powerful stuff that he said should do the job, but he was surprised that the antibiotics that he gave her before didnt work. She just had a bug that just wasnt wanting to leave. So after yet another rough day Friday, we finally noticed a Huge improvement over the weekend. Her runny nose and cough stopped, and she seemed to be eating a little bit again. He wanted to see us again Monday after a weekend on the new medication. I took her in this morning and he said her lungs sounded wonderful and could see a huge improvement. What a sigh of relief!! I was so worried about her and felt awful when her medication failed the first time around.

But like I said her bad luck didnt stop there. Even though it seemed like she felt better, she was still fussy all weekend. Just not wanting to do much, play much etc...She just wants to sit and cuddle. Last night while brushing her teeth I decided to check out her mouth. Sure enough the poor girl is getting in 2 MOLARS! Both have already broke through on top, and her gums are very swollen on the bottom too.I know she is just in so much pain. Its just been one thing after another and I am more than ready to have my sweet, fun loving child again. I miss her...

Although not all is bad with Addison. She is also saying SO many new words!! Some she has been saying for awhile now, I just havent been updating. But here are some of her many new words: All done, All gone, uh-oh (most frequently used), yuck, fish, Mom, shoe, cheese, gator (we have one proud Daddy! Go Gators!), and no no. lol I know she says a lot more, I just cant remember all of them. But she is really catching on! Oh, also when we ask her what a lion says, she goes "Roooar". It is TOO CUTE! I will have to try to video tape it soon.

Thats about it for now! Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! We will update with new pictures soon!

Addison's rough week....

Actually poor Addison has had a rough couple of weeks. Normally Addison is a very cautious, careful and healthy little girl. She is never one of those babies thats all banged up and has a ton of accidents. Every once in awhile she does get hurt, and it seems as though it all comes at once. It started about 2 weeks ago when we were outside and Addison was playing with Chalk on the patio. She literally randomly fell, but she fell very oddly and landed on the side of her nose. It turned out to be a big booboo and she had a large scrape taking up the whole side of her nose. Poor girl looked like Rudolph. Then last weekend we were out eating lunch with Chads Mom and Sister and she smashed her face into table. Of course the table was granite and not your typical wood table. Seems as though she busted her lip and instantly started screaming and bleeding. We fixed her up and went on our way. A few days later I was putting away the laundry and had a dresser drawer open, Addison bent down to get something and hit her lip yet again, in the same spot. She had now hit her lip twice in the same spot...it wasnt pretty.

I thought her bad luck was ending there, but it continued. Addison woke up one day last week with a runny nose. Addison has never been sick mind you other than a runny nose and a cough that lasted one day (see one of my previous posts).But she has never ever had a temperature. We thought it was due to teething since the only other times she has had a cold was when a tooth was coming through. Well, she went into full blown, straight out being sick. She was coughing and hacking and after a sleepless night, I took her to the Dr on Monday. Turns out she has a Sinus infection and is very congested. He put her on a couple of meds, and wants to see her again on Friday to make sure she is clearing up. He didnt like to hear all the congestion in her lungs while she was breathing. Its been a rough few days, She had a rather high temperature on Tuesday but its going back down now. She also hasnt been eating at all, which anyone who knows Addison can tell you this is very unlike her. After a few days of barely eating and not touching her food, I made her some homeade mashed potatos and she did scarf those down (thanks for the idea Mom!). Today has gone a bit better though. She seems to have a bit of her appitite back, and I can tell she is feeling better, but not 100%. Luckily this happened this week, so she should be better by Thanksgiving. Ugh, when It rains it pours I suppose! I guess I cant complain too much. We went over 16 Months without Addison ever getting sick. She is like me I suppose. I rarely ever get sick, but when I do I am a tad bit dramatic :)Lets hope this is the end of her bad luck streak. I feel awful for my poor baby :(

Happy Halloween!

We had a great and fun Halloween this year. Last year Addison was almost 4 months and too young to really enjoy anything, this year I know she had a blast. We had a fun activity filled day which included pumpkins, hayrides and fun "Fall festivities". Later that night we over to some friends of ours house, who have a little girl a month older than Addison. Addison really seems to get along with her and its nice for her to have someone her age to play with. We went out with them and took the girls Trick-or-Treating to a few houses. Addison actually seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly. She would walk right up to the houses with her pumpkin basket in tow. Oh, she was Tinkerbelle and the CUTEST Tinkerbelle I have ever seen! She got a couple handfuls of candy, although none of which I will let her eat. Mean Mommy. But I did find some Halloween shaped Marshmellows I would allow her to have. I didnt feel as guilty giving her those. It was a late night for Addison, after we got back from taking the girls out they seemed to get pretty hyped up and played for a good while. We came home and she crashed. But she did amazing throughout the whole day, despite a very short nap! Here is our little Tinkerbelle :)

As Promised....

Pictures from my new camera! I must say that both Chad and I are in love with our new camera. I actually had to pry it out of Chads hands the day we picked it up. Lol. So far I have got some great pictures. We went to the park the other day and I really got some great shots of Addison. However since I am still new at the whole camera thing, some of them came out a bit blurry since I am not used to focusing and using the fine focus so much. We have now installed a Photo Shop program, but with all the new things I have to learn on the camera and the Photo shop program, It may take me awhile to figure out how to un-blur them. But as soon as I learn to edit I will post MANY More pictures!

Here are a few pictures from our Halloween! Addison had a great time craving Pumpkins and loved digging in the pumpkin. Typical Addison.

One of our first pictures!
