Parade goers!


We took Addison to the Kirkland 4th of July Parade yesterday, and she was awesome! We found our friends Joy and Morgan Brooke, with their little guy Maguire! Addison especially liked when a band with loud drums came marching by, playing Tequila! That's the Husky in her! Yeah!

Update on weight gain: Since we've started the soy formula supplementing over 2 weeks ago, Addison continues to gain weight, but it's been with consequences. She's been extremely fussy and unhappy after she eats it. We finally put 2 and 2 together and realized that about 20 minutes after she downs the formula, she falls apart. And not a normal "I'm tired" falling apart. It's the kind where she straightens out stiff like a board, sometimes clenches her little fists, and SCREAMS. She's had quite a few of these melt downs, and now we're finally realizing that it might be the soy. So, we've switched her to a Hypo-Allergenic formula that is milk-based, but it has a reduced amount of lactose, and the milk-proteins are partially broken down, so it will help with her digestion. So far, so good! She seems to like it, and we haven't had a major melt down yet! We want our happy girl back, and hopefully this will help!
