Rewind

Here's the rewind......

Not much happened this week. Joe had an appointment for his helmet. He's progressing very well. The orthotist was actually surprised on how well his head is shaping up. We hopefully have two more months left. Cross your fingers for us.

Joe also discovered his feet. Everytime you change his diaper, he has to get ahold of his feet. Makes diaper changing time a tad more difficult. But it's soo darn cute.

ADDY TOUCHING HER TOES.
She's showing Joe that she can do it too.

The weather was nice enough that Addy got the chance to try out her new bike helmet. She, her nanny & friend Ella did a a couple laps around the cul-a-sac.

The bike is alittle big for her, need to add some blocks to the pedals. But she had fun hanging on the back while Ella drove.

Here are couple Addy quotes of lately...

"Just one more question."

"I have an idea."

"Just a minute"

Daddy: "I have use the treadmill so I don't get sick." Addy: "I'm sick, I need to go downstairs."

(The treadmill is in the basement.)

"Mommy, Mommy. Guess what, Mommy?" Me: "What Adalyn, what?" Adalyn: "I love you."

(Does that warm your heart or what.)



I love you too Addy!

That's the rewind. Until next week.....

Flashback Friday

My dad fixing the flat on our old pop up camper back in 1980.

Notice the potty chair. I'm not sure if was meant for all the kids or just for my sister. She would have been about 2 years old when this was taken.
We plan on starting the job of potty training Addy very shortly-hopefully within the next month.

REWIND

Here's the rewind....

This past week we had our basement finally sheet rocked & mudded. YEAH!!!!! Now bring on the paint! I have no idea on what color to choose for the main room. The bathroom will be in the yellow family. I think we will just have to pick a very neutral color, aka beige, until we have the furniture picked out. Our goal is to have the space "ready" before the fall rolls around. Meaning, floor is stained, doors put into place and the bathroom functional.

Here's a peak of the space sofar.

Since it was Easter, Adalyn & I got to dye some eggs for the first time this past week. She was sooo excited to help decorate the eggs. I have not done this activity since I was a kid. We opted to make vibrant colored Easter eggs. They turned out okay. It takes longer to make the darker colors, therefore we had to entertain Addy. She had her nighttime bath, while the eggs sat in their dye bath.

This year's Easter was filled with many firsts for us. We dyed eggs, Addy got to look for her Easter basket from the Easter bunny and Addy got to participate in the Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Grandpa & Grandma's.

It took Adalyn awhile to catch on to the Easter basket hunt. She actual walked by her basket first & did a once glance over the it, then continued to walk forward. She must have realized it was her basket, she then walked back to hiding spot & said "My Easter Basket!" Out of all the gifts, she was most excited by the bubbles (Thanks Aunt Ginny.) She finally got to blow the bubbles at Gma & Gpa's. She actually learned the proper way of blowing them. Before, she would put the bubble wand on her lips and try to create the bubbles. She now knows not to put the wand on her face.

Way to go ADDY!

Joseph's Easter Basket

(Thanks Aunt Ginny)

As for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt, it didn't take Adalyn long to figure out the goal of game. We have to thank her cousin Connor for his big help. It was quite comical, when Addy got the idea down, she was off. Connor had to actual run to keep up with Addy.

Me and my siblings (Brad & Erica)

We had just gotten Addy a tricycle from my brother. It's a tad big for her, but we're going to try and make it work. She asked for a helmet from the Easter Bunny. Let's hope the little bunny heard her request. ;)

Have a great holiday weekend!
