I finally did it! I got Addie's hair to go up into a clippy!! She's looking more 'girlish' every day :-)

Our girl is teething pretty bad... I just want those top ones to pop through. I feel so bad for her! She has been running a fever and sleeping a ton, so I'm ready to have her back to normal. That's the scoop on us. Have a good day everyone!

We had a busy but fun weekend! Saturday we went to Duluth to visit our friends, Natalie, Allen, Nora, and new baby Joliana. It was crazy! The babes weren't the happiest... at least one was loud or crying at all times... we laughed a lot, looking at our situation and trying to remember the days with no kids when we would stay up all night playing Rook and eating chocolate chip cookies :-) It was a good trip!

YEAH!! My hubby passed his last CPA test! No more tests :-) This has been a long road for him, but he's done and I couldn't be more proud of him!! YEAH!!!

Hanging out with Mama today! She's such a ham :)

Addie experienced her first car wash today... boy, was it an experience! She was so scared. She screamed the entire time and then the whole way back home. I guess I don't blame her- they kinda scare me :)
(Really I just wanted to post something so people didn't have to see my booty anymore- from the last post!)

Thought I'd share some of the joy in the household...


Now here's the reason for the joy... shake it!


Addie can say "Dada" but "Mama" can make her giggle.

Addie said her first word yesterday... "Dada." Actually she says, "Dadadadadadadadadadadada..." It's adorable. And yes, I'm jealous! Brandt thinks it's because she loves him more. I don't think so :-)

Addison is 8 months old! This is officially my favorite stage... these last few weeks have been wonderful. She's been so fun :) Dance is over as of yesterday, so I will have my life back pretty soon. More time to spend with my family. Now I might finally start to feel like I work part-time; it hasn't felt like that in a long time.
