I love you, Maguire!



Addison has a new boyfriend...Maguire! Well, we've always told them even before they were born that they would be friends, but now Addison is actually interested in other babies, and she loves Maguire! How cute are these pictures?!

Let's see, latest update: We stopped giving Addison solids, until we see the doctor next week. After the sweet potatoes, she had a bit of blood in her stool, so we said NO MORE! This happened when we were giving her soy as well, and it's nothing to be too alarmed about, it's just a slight irritation of either her digestive tract, or bowel. I've learned that I need to trust my instincts more, and not always give in to what other people say works for their kids, (sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't!) or my fuzzy mental state because of no sleep. I would have given my right arm last week if I could have had a 2 hour stretch of sleep. Deep down I knew we should have waited a bit more for her gut to mature because of her prior milk allergy issues, but oh well. But now we're back to breast milk and formula only, and sleeping still isn't the best, but we're adjusting and I'm learning to sleep in cramped positions. I went to see my dad yesterday for some back relief, and the massage therapist is on my schedule for next Tuesday! Today our play group is meeting at Tully's, and you can bet I'll be downing some coffee to keep myself perky today!

Other than keeping us up at night, Addison is TONS of fun right now. She is happy during the day, full of smiles and the cutest WHISPERING voice you've ever heard. Yes, you heard right, whisper! She loves to whisper. We say "Are you telling me a secret?" She also squeals at the top of her lungs, so there's no worry that she doesn't have a voice! I guess she's learning early about VOLUME! We're still waiting for her to roll over from back to front, she's almost there! The teething process is in full gear right now as well. We had quite a time getting her to sleep last night, Grandma Sharron made a late-night run to Walgreens for some Baby Orajel, and Highlanders Tablets. Neither one worked, but now we have it on hand for emergencies. I can't see or feel any teeth coming, but she sure bites everything, and she has quite a clamp with those jaws! Any day now...
