best husband-hands down

I just have to do a little shout out and praise my husband for the best birthday present ever. Heath was so thoughtful and sent me to a day spa for my b-day for a massage and body wrap, and after that a pedi. While he watched Addi. It was so relaxing and it was the perfect gift. I just think I have the best hubby! Thanks Heath love ya!

Our Life This Far

Today was another exciting day at the Dalton's. Full of poopy diapers, spit-up and endless games of "where's mommy---there she is!" ah the joys. By 9am I had changed my shirt twice. We (Addison and Christy) spent another day cooped up inside...again. I was being adventurous and went to Sam's Club and the Post Office between naps. Yippee!
i have recently attempted to give Addi some rice cereal. It ended in tears and a bath... It was a miserable failure. If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears. she just doesn't seem into it. maybe that is my answer.
Another thing I am doing is alot of laundry. How can someone that small make this much dirty laundry. its is against the law of physics somehow, I mean her clothes are tiny, but they add up. wow!
Heath is busy with his new job as Assistant Manager at the Sherwin Williams in Orem. This is an advancement for him and is no longer driving so far to work. Which is good since oil is over $100 a barrel. God Bless OPEC!
I turn 28 on Sunday, how the hell did that happen. I still feel 18. my knees don't, but I still feel like a stupid kid. How can I be responsible enough for another human...and a cat...and a house...and dinner?
Well all is well, all are healthy (knock on wood) and we are just living our lives.

Grandpa-aka-napping professional

Grandpa Bruce watches Addison once a week while Christy is at work. He does a really good job and you can see it is hard work! Addison loves Grandpa and Grandma Taylor and Dalton. Grandparents rock! Yawn, a nap sounds good to me too!

Tummy Time

Addison hates tummy-time! But just this once she was having a good "Addi-tude" about it, so I whipped out the camera. What is a mother to do!

RSV

This week has really been a trial. For those of you that didn' t know Addison was in UVRMC for 2 1/2 days with complications from RSV (respritory sylinacal virus). After basically quarentineing her, our best efforts failed us. She got it anyway.
She was admitted on tuesday after I saw that her fingers and toes were turning blue and was fighting to breath, had a temp of 103, and wasn't doing well at all. Mom had had enough. We rushed to the doctors office and they sent us to the hospital right away. Where they suctioned her out and got 10cc's of crud from her lungs and sinuses. I was a wreck at this point. They put a baby IV in her arm and had to do it twice because she was dehydrated. I felt like the worst mother in the world.
After 2 days and alot of prayer she was doing alot better and they sent her home. She is recovered about 95% but is still stuffy and worn out. But I suspect soon she will be good as new.
Thank you to everyone that worried and called us. I love living this close to family and friends that care so much about us.

Addison's Big Day






Addison was blessed on January 6,2007. It was really nice to see all of our familyin one place. Alot of people came from far away and that was sweet of them to support us. Heath did a great job on the blessing, I think he got more emotional than I did. He is a softy for this little girl. Doesn't she look like a marshmallow in her blessing dress! Grandma Dalton made this gorgeous dress for her ( she is so talented).
