Whales and Giraffes

This is Addisons impression of a beached whale, notice her little legs are blurred because they were moving so fast. She unfortunatly is going to crawl early I am afraid....sigh
That poor Giraffe, besides the fact this is her favorite toy the poor thing is chewed on pulled on and its little antlers are great to use as a teething ring. I think she is giving the unknowing Giraffe the stink-eye in this picture.

My Kinda Girl

Addison is Heaths clone but she has my personality, she wants what she wants and she wants it done correctly, she likes her naps and baths on schedule, and will tell you about it . She likes to go shopping for anything. Recently we went to the IKEA and she though that was pretty cool.

A funny little story about Addison's sense of humor. and why she is more like me that I thought. We finally put the high chair together, she really likes pounding her hands on the tray and looking outside our back bay window. So I put her in it for the first time and it has this harness thingy that I needed to adjust and hadn't done it before hand. So while she is in the chair, tray on, I am underneath the thing trying to tighten the straps. Of course it is more complicated than a 5 point racing harness and loosens when you want it to tightened and vice versa.

SO there I monkeying with this thing on my knees and I could not get it to work and I said "son of a b$%*@!" in frustration. Addison started laughing hysterically. Which I have never been able to make her laugh like that ever. It was so funny, I started laughing and she thought I was so hilarious too. I would have laughed at anyone trying to mess with that harness and it getting the better of them also. Addi your my kinda girl!

God cant be everywhere....that's why he made Grandma's

I love Grandma's!!! Not only do I love my Nana and Grandma Taylor, but I love Addisons grandparents. They are the best. Moments notice, errand of angels, self-less.

Susan (Grandma Dalton) is the best. She takes Addison two days a week for us 8am-5pm, never complains, when I ask how she was this or that day. She always makes Addison seem like a perfect baby, no trouble at all. Which I know isn't true but it makes me feel good. Like I actually know what I am doing. It also comforts me to know Addison is in good, capable,loving hands. The woman had/has 7 children, she is a Saint to me. She MAKES the cutest dresses for Addison. Raised a wonderful son , and is just an amazing woman.

My Mom (Margie...aka...Grandma Taylor) is wonderful. I call a day in advance for a night out babysitting request. "No problem, I'd love to" is always her reply. Besides the numerous phone calls, the late nights that she stayed with me while Heath was away on buisness, and always saying..."your doing fine sweetheart..just keep it up" She works full time and takes care of My Nana, is the Blazer leader, and runs a houshold. With all that she is still "not busy" enough to help me out at a moments notice, like today, when I needed her to pick up Addi because I was late getting home from work. Bless this woman!

God Bless Grandma's, The world, (and new mothers) would not survive with out them!

I'm Done...

Disclaimer---I am going to be really honest in this post. So if you cant stand it, do not continue!!

I truly am done being a mother...today... I really liked it yesterday. I just cant stand it today. Diapers, spit up, bottles, formula, baby sh%^$# everywhere. Honestly I am a good person and am trying to be a molly Mormon mother in Zion, but not today. Then I try to be righteous and read the Ensign while she is napping and all the thing talks about is how wonderful nurturing children is...I threw it across the room...I scared the cat.
I went to the grocery store today everything was fine until I am loading Addi into the car and I hit the panic button on the key and could not get it to shut off. All hell broke loose. I felt like every one was starring at me, Addison started crying, I almost did. Finally it shut off, I thew the grocery's into the trunk and went home!

I was thrown up on 6 times today. I cannot buy enough "Spray and Wash" And I know for sure that baby food carrot does come out of microfiber. Hallelujah

So today I am done...I don't know about tomorrow, but I've had it today. This seems like I don't love Addi, I do, don't get me wrong. But man I just have to vent to the world that my life is not perfect and neither is my blog.

Count Your Many Blessings....Name Them One by One

I heard the most awful thing today and was feeling so blue and the song "Count Your Many Blessings" came into my mind and it wouldn't leave... so I thought I would make it at least productive

I am blessed because...

1-I have a loving husband who loves me just the way I am, and still loves me after that fact.
2-I have a healthy,beautiful,fun baby girl who is just perfect
3-I live in America, where I can live, worship, believe just how I want to
4-I was born into the true gospel of Jesus Christ our Savior and have a more profound knowledge of that than many people will ever have.
5-The understanding of Eternal Family
6 I have a roof over my head, food to eat, more clothes than I can wear, gas in the car (which is saying something) and a little left over...which makes me more wealthy that 99% of the world population.
7-I have extended family close by that love me ,and are willing to help at a moments notice. (love you mom!)
8- My health
9-Very good friends who make me laugh so hard my sides hurt.

I have alot more things that I am blessed with but these are at the top. Maybe this can be an idea for other people to post on their blogs. We'll see.

Happy Easter

One great thing about having a little girl is a brand-new Easter dress. It has long been a tradition in my family to get an new dress for Easter Sunday, then take as many pictures of the girls before the dress gets dirty. I love my little girl and her dang cute easter dress. And I did take lots of pictures
