This is what happens when I wait so long to post things......below is a pic of a nasty, nasty virus that hit our house months ago. All I really remember was Addison getting it first, then me and then Melody. It was very short-lived but man there was a lot of puke! Addison had it the worst and we could tell where hers was heading so off to the ER she went. She just wouldn't eat or drink anything and tear production was slowing down (bad sign). Got some fluids in her and made all the difference. Matt was lucky enough to just get nauseous but that was it. </div>

We made our annual trip to the Pumpkin patch this year and let the girls pick out their pumpkins. We figured while we were there we might as well get ours too. Stupid decision. I forget how much these places mark up their pumpkins. We could drive 1 minute down the road and get one for $15 cheaper! I've gotta remember that next year. <br />

They sure had fun. Loved this growing chart out there. Makes me sad knowing that every year they will keep creeping up that chart. Ugh.<br />

Around this time Melody was really into hugging and kissing pictures (of people she loved). It would be so sweet watching her go up to a picture frame of Addison and actually give it hugs and kisses. Love her. Such a gentle heart. She is still my little koala. Just not sure how she's gonna go to Pre-k next year! It's only 2 days a week but I'm sure it will devastate her. It will probably devastate me. She started Speech Therapy about 2 months ago around Feb. We just realized how much she mumbled and didn't like to pronunciate her words. It really wasn't fair to her because we were always comparing her to Addison when she was this age. Addison's speech was WAY off the chart for her age and when we compared Melody to that it just kinda concerned us. Well, her therapist said there is only a mild delay and shouldn't take but a few months to correct. Funny- we didn't know this was how 2 year olds talk! There are videos of Addison at this age speaking in full, very clear sentences with us. Every kid is different! It has dramatically improved and the therapist has said it was probably a bad habit she had formed and just being lazy. Silly girl:) We will be done soon but she really loves going up there. She goes where Addison goes and they have the same therapist and Addison just eats it up. Addison has been paying close attention to Melody's words and would get sooo excited when it was clearer. She would say, "Ahhh! Melody is talking better! It's working!" It was funny cause she thought all she would need was 1 session and then she would be cured. She listened to her in the car that day and was NOT happy that she wasn't speaking better. I had to explain that it would take time:) One of the great things about this is it has gotten Melody use to another adult besides me and Matt. When we first started this I had to sit in there for the session. Then each time after that I would decrease the amount of time I would stay with her. Weaning her off! Now when we go in, I sit for just a second and get her settled into some activities with Liz and then say, "Mommy's gotta go TT". And that's it! I walk out and watch Addison finish her PT. I'm thinking this is going to make Pre-K go a lot smoother for her. It's really worked out well having them there at the same time too. <br />

Halloween was pretty fun this year. Addison was sooo set on being a black cat. She's been saying this for a very long time now. It's all because of Dora. There is a Dora episode where she dresses up as a black cat and has the face paint and all. Thank goodness we got the costume right. Once Addison sees something and wants to replicate it then it has the chance to be a disaster if you get one tiny detail wrong. It's a very scary thing! <br />

Halloween is always a scary time of year for us cause of the peanut allergy. Our neighborhood is swarmed with trick or treaters and there are peanut candies everywhere! Matt and I really can't relax until we get back home. Every Halloween after we get in bed we always say, "Oh thank God it is over." Seriously it's that scary. We don't want her to miss out on things though so we just modify it a bit.....and keep the epi pens really close. This year we just walked up and down our sidewalks so the girls could see everybody and I kept a bag full of pre-approved candy with me. Every few minutes I would turn around and yell, "Say Trick or Treat"! Then when they would say it, I would give them handfuls of candy in their bags. It worked out perfect! Matt and I got a huge kick out of this. We never had to go to anyones house and check labels on candy bags or anything. I actually went to Bill and Charlottes and gave them a big thing of pre-approved candy earlier on so that we could stop by their house and they could kinda see how it all works. Addison felt the need to feed Melody some candy on our route. Such a little mommy!<br />
I gotta fast forward a little bit to December since we are on the peanut talk. In December we took her to have her peanut levels tested. We were told to do this once a year when she got diagnosed. Every year we just pray that the number goes down. It started in the 70's (I think? Too lazy to look it up) when she was diagnosed and a year later dropped to 13. This year she was at 6!!! Praise the Lord! If you do total avoidance then the number can drop like that. Thankfully we have been able to avoid peanuts since her first reaction. Even though she is down to a 6 now, she is still high risk and can still go into anaphalactic shock. The doc says there's just no way of knowing if it would be a rash or something more serious. Since the number is so low, the rate at which it drops will move slower and slower. Therefore, the doc advises us to enter the desensitizing program. She will start in the Fall and we will have to drive to Dallas once a week. They will expose her to tiny, tiny amounts of peanut at a time and send us home with daily doses to give her. Then we go back the next week and they up the dose and test it out on her. If we go every week, the fastest she can get over the allergy would be 3 months. If we go every other week it could take 6 months. Sooo, every week it is! Just rip the bandaid off and get it over with. The Fall is gonna be crazy busy. It kinda scares me. I'm pretty sure Melody will be making the trips with us. I just can't imagine not having her with me! Good thing we all love that city! <br />

Melody wore the Lady bug costume that Addison had 2 years in a row! Melody could care less and was sooo happy to wear that thing around. She sported it with pride! They were so darn cute together. Addison's glittery slippers really made the outfit- oh and her gorgeous, long blonde hair. Love that hair! She loves to girl anything up and accesorize whenever she can.<br />

Addison had her first field trip way back in September/October. It was interesting. Here's my opinion on field trips for 4 year olds. I think they're stupid!!! WHY take these tiny kids on field trips! They don't care! AND then they say that 1 parent has to be there- it just kinda made me mad cause alot of these moms don't have their other child on their hip ALL day and could just breeze through it all. Not me. Melody on one hip, Addison on the other side holding my hand while I try to drag her along to keep up with everybody else. Lots and lots of dirt fields. Like, our cars were a weird clay color at the end of it all. We went to the cotton farm. So, they picked the cotton and put it in their bags and took and class picture and all. Then we went and had a class snack (which I have to provide Addison with her own) and then one of those over achiever moms pulls out her homemade snack for each kid and precedes to hand it to me in front of Addison and I have to kindly decline it(because of the allergy). Addison saw the whole thing too. It is such a tease. It's just hard. Days like that are really hard. <br />

Speaking of school, Addison is reading now. Can't remember if I have already blogged about it. Like, you can pick up a brand new book at the store she's never seen and she will start reading it out loud. Pretty amazing for a 4 year old! She's been doing this for atleast 6 months. She also counts to 100 with ease. She's just really loves to learn and is constantly wanting to feed her brain. She loves learning new things and stores it away for life in her little computer aka brain! In our city we have Magnet schools- you have to test into them and apparently it's really hard. Even though we are holding her back next year, we decided to test her for Magnet to see how she scores on the test. We did this so we can have an idea what to do next year. We shall see! <br />

Seriously, that dirt is nothing like I have ever seen. Almost like clay but when the wind blew it was just everywhere. Shoes were brown after that one. Believe me I wouldn't have put a dress on Melody had I known it was like this. We would have been in Walmart clothes.<br />

One thing Addison LOVES this year is clowns. I have a big time fear of clowns and I'm pretty sure that's why she likes them! She loves to put together outfits that kinda look like clown outfits. She does a great job at this considering we have no clown costumes! We have ordered her a clown horn and a "cloth" as she likes to call it. It's more like a powder puff that she saw on a Dora episode where she was a clown. She HAD to have a "cloth" like Dora so Matt looked it up and found on on ebay. She approved it and then we found out it was in Bangkok. That's right. That sucker took over a month to get here but it was so worth it! <br />
She also loves geckos, lizards, and spiders. Very into insects and crawly things! She is sooo ready to be a grown up. She talks about it all the time. I always tell her not to grow up too fast and she says,"I will!" She's just so ready to be able to do certain things that I tell her she can only do when she is a certain age. I wish she didn't want to grow up so fast! I guess every kid does though:(<br />

We all know Addison LOVES Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Anytime a holiday rolls around I always try to stop by there and get their pumpkin, heart, or tree doughnuts for the school snack. This is my way of ensuring Addison gets to eat what all of the other kids eat at snack time. AND I get points for being the cool mom that day:)<br />

She's still my laundry baby. Everytime I put clean laundry in the chair or on the floor, she will fall into it and just lay there. I love it:)<br />

I LOVE beignets and love to make them. They are super messy but I think it's worth it in the end. Addison helped roll out the dough. She is really into cooking and wants to know the exact ingredients of everything. Once we tell her all of this, she will run to her play kitchen and find all of her play ingredients and put them in the pot to make her very own. What's funny is weeks later she will randomly say she is going to make gumbo or some other difficult recipe and will go an collect all the ingredients and show them to me. She is always right on! She has a memory that shocks everyone. <br />

Melody using my foam roller. I've used these religiously for 10 years and love them. By the way, we just did our first half marathon a few weeks ago and it was awesome!! It was the Rock n Roll New Orleans. We are addicted now and will be doing the Dallas one soon! More on all of this later....<br />

Every now and then Addison will come home from school wearing one of these. The teacher will hand them out to the kids that are really well behaved in Chapel. There are so many dang rules you have to follow when you go....it just shocks me that kids get them at all. You basically can't talk, or touch anything the whole time. I would never get one of those!! <br />

Time for a checkup! Addison loves the dentist and eats it all up. Really anything dealing with doctors she is ALL about. This time was different though! It was Melody's first cleaning! They got to go at the same time and sit in chairs next to eachother. Melody was pretty freaked out and wasn't as "into it" as Addison is. She'll get there though. Every since that day they have loved playing Dentist at home.<br />

Then we get home and the role playing begins. Everytime we leave a doctors apt, Addison always walks away with a new set of gloves. Counting all my teeth!<br />

At the beginning of the year Addison had to make a pennant for school. They sent it home blank and she had to fill it with all of her favorite things. She helped pick some things out and would cut them and glue them on. She also used some stickers (waaay easier than cutting)! Each kid was able to present their pennant to the class. <br />

Melody got a haircut!! Hallelujah!! Her hair was doing the same thing Addison's was when she was this age so it was definitely time. When they were babies sleeping on their backs (and in swaddles) they would rub their heads back and forth in the crib and would cause the hair to break off in the back. Sooo, when it starts growing out, things are just a little uneven! I couldn't wait to get it one length. We called Mr. Brian (who cuts my hair)- he is so great!<br />

She did amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect since this was her first time. When she is in a new situation she will get really quiet and sad acting and then bust out into tears. On this day she just did the quiet and sad looking thing. Thank goodness! She wouldn't say a word or make any type of expression. When Matt was this age he was always known for falling asleep while getting a haircut. Yep, he liked it that much. So, for awhile there I was thinking she might be taking after her Daddy!<br />

Sisterly love.....it comes and goes right now. It's like they love eachother so much and couldn't be happier one minute and then a freakin' bomb goes off. The blowups and tantrums are always over the smallest things. This pic was taken a few months back but speaking in present day, it's been pretty rough between them recently. They are both to blame though. Addison loves to tick Melody off and knows what buttons to push and LOVES to push them. Melody is super sensitive and will freak out over anything. She needs to toughen up a bit. I think it's gonna be like this for a very long time! Maybe I need to toughen up a bit!<br />

One of Addison's favorite things is eating lunch in Daddy's office. We will randomly get McDonald's and bring it up there. She thinks it's sooo special and acts really sweet. It's a win win for me cause lunch is already done by the time we get home and they are well behaved while we are up there. Usually when we get home from school on a regular day everything just falls apart. Melody is spoiled having me to herself the first half of the day and when Addison gets home she is completely exhausted and that takes a toll on her attitude big time. Then when you mix those two things together they just scream at eachother and me. It's loads of fun. I try to tell myself that Addison is just sooo very tired and can't help the way she's acting. Sometimes I just have to go ahead and feed Melody and let Addison cry/throw fit by herself for about 45 minutes until she's decided to act human again. I have really figured out that ignoring her when she acts like this works better than time outs and spankings. <br />

Big News!!! We have weaned Addison off of Baclofen!!!!! This took place back in the Fall. It was a 6 week process and every week we would drop the doses down a tiny bit. It takes this long cause it is a drug and one that she has been on since the accident. If you stop too soon your body could go into withdrawals. We have been wanting to do this for a long time but wasn't sure if it was possible. The doctor at Baylor- Dr. Raji has had her on this since day 1 and insisted that she needed it in addition to botox. Baclofen is suppose to help her muscles from tightening up so much (specifically her feet since she walks on her toes). Well, we got Melanie Massey herself to evaluate her awhile back and told her what we were thinking. She fully agreed and thought she didn't look like she needed it at all. I love how everyone has opposite opinions. So we presented all of this to Dr. Raji and she basically said, "fine, good luck." We assured her we would get her physical therapist to constantly monitor her feet and range of motion and if she started to tighten up then we would stop with the wean. Deep down we knew that she would be ok. We just wanted to see what would happen without the meds. You never know until you try. Well HA! I was so proud and couldn't wait until the next Baylor appointment to brag about being done with Baclofen. It was funny cause the doctor never really gave us the satisfaction. Before all of this she said she expected her to tighten up if we tried this and that she would need to be on this for many many many years, but that we were the parents and we could make the call. Last year we fought her on the botox issue and she would push and push everytime. Then one time she said, "she doesn't need botox. I would be crazy to do botox." Sure am glad we never did it. We always knew that with consistent physical therapy and improvements that she would grow out of some of this. So, we are proud to say that Addison is medicine free!! AMEN!! That is such a blessing. I think doctors are too medicine happy and want instant gratification. I am very much the opposite. <br />

Even though we gradually decreased the dose, it had a big effect on her mood. Good gosh- Addison on a typical day can be very high maintenance. That's just her makeup. Well, when we added the wean, it was basically a nightmare. Massive tantrums. We knew it wouldn't last long and that it would be the worse at the beginning. We were constantly having to be with her and entertain her and the second she got bored you had better have something else wonderful up your sleeve. That's where the mani/pedi came in. That kept her happy for about 30 minutes. It was a long and very hard month! BUT totally worth it to be medicine free!<br />

Melody is really into "hide and seek" right now. Addison's the one that taught her and she really just kinda plays along. She is a great hider and will not make a peep when you go looking for her but when it's your turn she will totally rat you out. I will go hide and when Addison is done counting, she will drag her all the way to where I am saying, "she's over here sister"! Addison on the other hand will go hide and when we start looking for her she will crack up laughing and say, "I'm in here, I'm in here"! She just gets sooo excited about the whole thing. <br />
They LOVE to play doctor together. The patient will either lay on the coffee table, chair, or trampoline. They have this whole doctor kit and Addison knows how to use every single thing in there. There are a TON of little instruments in there. She has just had LOTS of experience with doctors:) Melody of course learns from her and how to use all of it. Matt and I love being the patient cause we just get to lay there and act like we are sick! Pretty easy!<br />

This has been a great way to keep the girls happy/occupied while I make lunch/dinner. It's also a way to avoid any fighting. Things are pretty peaceful when we pull out the paint. Melody makes me cringe cause she tries to drink the paint water when I'm not looking. There's all kind of things wrong with that to me- it's out of the sink (and there's not filter on the sink and it tastes horrible) and she's straight up drinking paint. Ugh. AND she knows I don't like her to do it. She will tell me to go away and when I turn around she's got the cup by her mouth. <br />

They do love each other too:) They have really great moments together and then really bad moments together. I have had to separate them a bunch lately. Addison in the living room and Melody in the kitchen with me while I make lunch. The gate separates them. Addison just gets really tired when she comes home from school and lets it all out. It's just best to separate them for about 30 minutes. <br />

Oh gosh. My mom bought these for the girls and I just have to laugh. She use to make me sleep in them for so many years and they do NOT feel good! I'm not sure I can do that to them. Not sure Addison would even go to sleep at all. Anyway, one day I thought it would be funny to put them in Melody's hair. Looks like a little old lady! They didn't last long. <br />

Melody's going through this phase where she likes to squeeze our faces and kinda pop the air out of our mouths. She really gets a kick out of it. I think Matt showed it to her once and it has kinda stuck with her!<br />

Here we are at Mary Hadley and Grahams bday party. They live down the street so that was nice and convenient! It was princess themed and of course I didn't even think to dress them up in princess dresses. Livin' and learnin'. Mom of the year:( I kept asking Addison if she wanted me to go home and get some dresses for them and she kept saying no. I felt horrible. She got her makeup done though! <br />

They loved their pizza and then it was time for the dessert. Well, because of the peanut allergy I was prepared with her special cupcake (Melody gets one too). That was fine and then someone broke out the ice cream and put one of the cups in front of her. (they didn't know about the allergy) It was pretty ice cream too. Matt and I immediately reacted and took it away once we checked the label. It was manufactured in a facility with peanuts:( She was sooo upset. Such a tease. Basically ruined the rest of the party. We promised her we would go to Exxon and grab some chocolate ice cream for her and that it would be even better since she could have more than just a tiny cup. Made it a little bit better but she was still pretty upset about it all:( I am sooo excited to start the program in the Fall to get rid of this crazy allergy!! Her first appointment to start the whole thing is in June. Oh, and it's in Dallas. Isn't everything in Dallas? <br />

This was at the doctor a few months ago....I think it was some kind of virus. Speaking of that, it has been sooo nice not having to go to the doctor every week. Last year we seriously were there once a week. Ever since last April/May we really haven't had many problems thank goodness. When Melody starts Pre-K 3 next year I'm not expecting her to get as sick as Addison did. Her immune system has gotten nice and strong thanks to her! She would catch every single thing Addison brought home.<br />

She still loves a good pile of laundry:) They love to pull all the laundry out of the chair and jump on them like they are muddy puddles (just like Peppa Pig).<br />

Mom got Addison this Hello Kitty outfit as an option for a Halloween costume. She decided on a black cat but kept this as dress up clothes. She LOVES to dress up and is constantly changing her outfits. Melody just kinda follows along and if Addison dresses up, so does Melody.<br />

Your party was flower themed. I wasn't sure what direction to go with it this year and I will usually choose something y'all are into or something that describes you. At this time you really weren't voicing your opinion on characters that you love. Sooo, after thinking about it we decided that you kinda remind us of a flower. You really do:) It sums you up perfectly and the cake turned out awesome! Mrs. Whittenburg did an amazing job as usual. <br />

Melody, you are not the typical 2 year old. Atleast at this stage you weren't. Everyone always calls it the terrible twos. I was like, "No way"! These are the terrific twos! You were sooo easy and sweet and everything was just bliss. Now that you are almost 2 1/2 we are starting to test the boundaries a tad bit but it still really isn't that bad! <br />

The 23 month old pic. Sweet little girl. One of the silly things you did at this stage was go "TT" in the potty any chance you got. You still love to do this and we have still yet to train you. Soon enough:) One of your phrases that you liked to say was, "Daddy, where are you"? It was a pretty big deal at the time cause speech was a little hard. You really like to mumble your words together and do not like to pronunciate unless we make you say it one word at a time. More on that later!<br />

As soon as you woke up on your birthday we started pulling out the presents. We really didn't do much cause we already have so many things from when Addison was 2. So, we just got you around 3 gifts and you were as happy as can be! Too many toys really start to stress me out and kinda make me panick. All the small pieces and having to deal with the meltdowns when one of the pieces goes missing. I would LOVE to find a kid that doesn't have any toys and tell them to come on over and go shopping! <br />

Check out the bed head! Tearing into your own present. You were pretty excited. Not sure you totally understood it was your birthday but I'm almost positive you will by next year. You and Addison constantly practice the whole birthday thing with Melissa and Doug cake and picking out toys in the playroom to give as your presents. It's pretty cute. <br />

We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast and put the candles in it. You were a PRO at blowing out your candles this year. We were really amazed by that. It was so funny cause you would patiently wait all through the song and as soon as we stopped singing you would immediately blow them out. <br />

Birthday hugs from Sister. Anytime someone has a birthday Addison gets really into it and basically caters to that person. Making sure they have everything they need. Their drink of choice, plates, napkins, cake, etc. She is sooo very polite and is really good with manners. A great role model for Melody!<br />

This was another one of your presents. It actually was Addison's when she was your age but as soon as her accident happened, we majorly baby proofed the house and the trampoline made a nice trip up to the attic. Well, we figured it was time to pull it down. You are sooo physical and love to jump and roll and dance and Addison could benefit from it too. At this point she was still learning how to jump again and couldn't quite get her feet off the ground. This trampoline has been amazing and she is now jumping on her own! Still working on some height and bending knees when we land. So the trampoline is right in the middle of the playroom and y'all have thoroughly enjoyed it. Y'all love to play "mac mac". It's a game y'all came up with where you just kinda lay on top of eachother on the trampoline and say "mac mac" while laughing a lot. Whatever keeps y'all happy!<br />

Addison wore this shirt on her 2nd birthday so I felt the need to put it on you. I don't know why but I feel like I need to keep up with traditions like that. I know I shouldn't though. Maybe it's because I know we are done with the baby making and this will be my last chance to put it on my 2 year old. Kinda sad:(<br />

We opened some gifts from my Aunts and Uncles that night and Aunt Cynthia won favorite present by far! It was this Hallmark dog that sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when you press the button on its foot. OH MY GOSH. Obsessed with it. Like, we had to play it over and over and over! It was your favorite things combined. Stuffed animals, a puppy, and music. <br />

This Summer Matt and I decided to take a little trip to the beach. Orange Beach to be specific. We are typically Destin people but Matt's parents live in Orange Beach (right across the street from the beach) and we just couldn't turn a free trip down! They have had the place for a few years and sadly this is the first time we have been able to go. It has always been so hard to find the time and we were never brave enough to make the trip with the girls. I'm thinking this Summer is looking good though. So anyways, we played a little "house swap". They came up here to keep the girls and we went down there. Very much needed time off!! Both girls were sick and on a ton of meds which basically stressed me out putting someone else in control. I had to get over it though. There was a slight miscommunication with meds at the beginning but after that it was all good. As soon as we got there we rode our bikes across the street to the beach and put our feet in the sand! Here I am showing off my shell. We didn't really do much of anything. We rode their bikes a lot and had a blast doing that. It was like we were kids again. SOOO carefree! We would eat beignets, then hop on bikes and ride through parking lots chasing sea gulls. Our neighbors happened to be there at the same time and actually witnessed us chasing those birds! Pretty embarrassing! We loved hanging out with Bill, Charlotte, Laura, Clay, Kirsten and Lilly. They seriously are like family. We were lucky they were there cause we got our Tahoe stuck in the sand one day when we were trying to park somewhere we shouldn't have. Bill to the rescue! No matter if we are in Shreveport or Orange Beach, we always need him for something! Deep down we know he loves it though. He has a huge diesel truck with this big wrench and all the tools to pull a car. He was proud cause it was the first time he's needed it. Good memories- HA! He will never let us live that one down.</div>

This was Addison's first day of Pre-K 4. It was actually only a few hours so the parents could have a meeting. So y'all read a book and had a frog cookie. Y'all are the "Friendly Frogs" this year and like last year we had to make you your very own cookie to resemble the others that were made in a bakery. Last year we had to do an owl. We are getting pretty good at this! I will explain this in another post in way more detail but you will be starting a program in Dallas with your Allergist that will cure you of your peanut allergy!!! We will start in August and will more than likely have to go once a week. They have had amazing success with it and have been doing it for years! So by the time you get to Kindergarten you will more than likely be able to eat a peanut without going into anaphalactic shock!! The travel will be hard but will be worth it knowing you will be much safer since peanuts are life threatening right now. <br />

Listening to Mrs. Davison read. You got to meet Mrs. Davison about a week before school started so that we could go over your action plan for the allergy. We showed her how to use the epi pens and went over snack rules. We then discussed the injury and just told her that you tend to still walk on your toes when you aren't focusing on it and when you get in a hurry. We explained that your braces keep your heels down. We also wanted to stress that Cognitive is completely fine and the only thing you would need some help with is fine motor skills. She still helps a little with your cutting. Your Occupational Therapist did your assessment not too long ago and you are getting closer and closer to catching up! You are only 6 months behind with fine motor!!! We are so excited and are really happy to be bridging you next year. We think it will be a great way for you to catch up, and I also selfishly want to keep you under our roof for as long as possible!! If I could hold you back 2 years I would! We will most certainly do the same for Melody. <br />

Melody started gymnastics this Fall and it was right down her alley. She was probably the youngest in the class and loved it so much BUT would not listen. I seriously would chase her all over the place from station to station. In her defense it would be hard to line up against the wall and listen to each stations instructions that take a few minutes. I just sat back thinking does it really require this much explaining? Melody had had it and would always take off. She hated waiting her turn and would just fly through everything. I was exhausted by the end and it was to the point where the instructors just kinda looked at us in that special way. After awhile I just gave up and let you run around and burn that energy. I mean, isn't that why we're really there? So even though you do flips and are so very physical, I just don't think you were mature enough yet. I was refunded for the remaining classes and we will just try again next Fall!<br />

Addison's first day of Pre-k 4. So precious. She was pretty excited to head back to school. For awhile there she thought she had 2 classes. Mrs. Davison's and Mrs. Blanchard's (from last year). She will still randomly want to walk down the hall to Mrs. Blanchard's just to say "Hi" and to tell her all the things she is learning. Melody will have Mrs. Blanchard next year and we are super excited about that!<br />

Well, since it is almost February and these are all Summer pics, looks like I have some major catching up to do. That's always the case! Never enough time. I've been trying to be more relaxed about it and not let it bug me as much. Seems to be working:) We did some swimming this Summer at Southern Trace. So much fun! Addison loved it and loved showing off her new swimming skills. We are thinking we will do private swim lessons there this Summer. It would just be easier cause it is the next neighborhood over and we wouldn't have to stay in Ruston for 2 weeks! I also want private since it will give the girls more time in the water. </div>

There is a pond at Totsie and Papa's house across the street that is FULL of catfish (thanks to Papa). He has been wanting to take y'all out there and let you see them eat. (Yes, he feeds them). We went fishing one day and caught a few. I let you help me reel one in. It was so much fun! <br />

I was determined to introduce Addison to the worms. As a kid, I would always bate my own hook and I just kinda wanted the same for her. Maybe not bate it yet but certainly be able to touch the worms without freaking out! Well, within 5 minutes those worms were her best friends. She was picking them up and naming all of them. Squirmy was one of them. I was pretty proud:)<br />

I will have to say this is where I just started tearing up. Nona was so excited about showing y'all these rooms and explaining the history and it just got to me. Watching her hold Addison's hand and walk her through those halls was a glimpse of my past and how fast it has all gone. Addison just looks so much like I did as a girl and it was so sweet to watch but also very heartbreaking. If I could find a way to make the clocks stop, I swear I would. <br />

Poor Melody and her life jacket! I got it last minute that morning at CVS and it was the only one they had. It has FLAMES on the sides. Yup. Sweet little Melody wearing some FLAMES in her pretty little pink monogrammed swimsuit. Hey, but it did the job!!!<br />

Oh Insanity. Oh yes we did! This is the craziest most intense DVD workout yet. It is INSANE! We had always heard about it and one day I was like, "I wanna try that"! It was so awesome! I loved it and it was hard! Matt of course goes along with whatever and he did it too. Every night after we got the kids down we would turn the living room into a gym and go at it. Matt's knees bothered him sometimes but he stuck with it. Afterwards you gotta mail in your before and after photo to get "THE TSHIRT". They make it sound super special to where you want that tshirt more than anything. <br />

You would always put this outfit together and say you were going to the beach. You did like this whole thing where you would act it out and everything. Poor thing- we gotta get you to the beach this year. You haven't been since you were a baby. We just aren't sure about the car ride!!<br />

Here we are in Monroe at Melanie Massey's main office. This was the first time Melanie did a full work up on Addison and just watched everything. I loved it. Afterwards she typed up some specific things to work on with her and faxed them over to the Shreveport office. We will go back to Melanie maybe every 4-6 months just for a reassessment. <br />

This is the main stretch that can benefit you. You are a tip-toe walker right now and your braces are used to pull your heels down. This stretch just keeps you flexible. Matt is going to build one for us to use at home.<br />

Happy 4th Birthday Addison! You had such an awesome party! It was a Hello Kitty theme this year since that is what you are loving. Mrs. Whitenberg did the cake...of course! LOVE that we can get the cool cakes that are peanut-free! We had a great crowd and y'all had a blast. We got Papa to bring over one of his jumpy houses that he has and it was a huge hit. I think every 4-7 year old has one at their birthday parties. Our backyard kinda resembled a fair with all the kiddo stuff!</div>

Jenn was there and brought Jonah! He was super sweet:) Jenn was your main physical therapist ever since we came home from Dallas. She was amazing and loves you so much. In the past few months she took a new job so we don't get to see her as much:(<br />

Check out those oral motor skills! This action might seem fairly normal to any other parent but if you've been through what we have, you will know it takes ALOT muscles and strength to blow that thing! I will also say she had just learned how to do that a couple weeks earlier. Speech therapy uses things like this and whistles to strengthen those muscles. <br />

Opening a few gifts before everyone got there. The main thing she wanted us to get her was a Dora floatie. One of her friends had one at the pool this Summer and she desperately wanted one. Of course we bought several. One for Melody (so they won't fight over them) and the others we stored away for when one gets a hole. We are living and learning!<br />

You were SOOO excited! You just walked around the house for days wearing that thing! Y'all even bath with them. You always pretend you are swimming with it and say you're at the beach. Poor thing....we gotta get y'all to the beach. The only time you went was when you were around 9 months old!<br />

Happy 8th anniversary to us! We of course chose to go to Dallas- we bought tickets to Coldplay months ago and it just so happened to be around our anniversary. Sooo, it was a great way to celebrate! We only stayed one night and we stayed at the W hotel instead of ZaZa this time. ZaZa just was weird last time so we decided to venture out. The inside was just so so but the pool was AMAZING! Beautiful view of Dallas, loud music, lots of people....you get the idea:) We had a great time. Our first stop was for lunch at Idle Rich Pub. Best burgers.</div>

Right before the concert we went to Chamberlains Steakhouse. It is really close to where we use to live when we first moved to Dallas. It is so yummy. Right outside the restaurant was this sign and I had to pose with it for Addison. I've said it before, but this is where she got her name. We lived right next to Addison and just fell in love with that area.<br />

We had such great seats. This is before the show started....just hanging out. We went to their concert when Addison was 1. It was in Dallas and was outside during the Summer! We had such an amazing time though and knew we had to see them again. <br />

They handed out these cool bracelets when we first walked in the doors. I kinda thought they were just tacky souveneirs. Anyway, we all put them on and as soon as the music started everyones bracelet started blinking a different color! It was the coolest thing! The whole place was so colorful and blinking like crazy!<br />

This is just a random post about you two girls and what y'all have been up to this Summer. Daddy took y'all to the park one day during the week when I was getting my haircut. (Such a good Daddy)! It's so hard to take y'all both since you want to play in different areas. It's more of a safety thing for me.

You started swimming lessons!! This was huge because you were signed up for them last year but had to miss due to the accident. You were super excited to go because we had told you all about it and Mrs. Linda Causey. I always love describing things to you such as events that are about to occur. I think it helps you adapt to the situation better. You just walked right up in there acting as if you owned the place. Mrs. Causey taught me for years and that made it really special. <br />

You were so good at swimming! You were never afraid and she just starts by putting y'all under water every few seconds. Most of the kids were freaking out but you just loved it. Most of the kids cried during the whole lesson but you just played and splashed in the water until it was your turn. You only cried when it was time to get out and go home! Mrs. Causey loved you and saw how much you loved it so she offered the pool to us anytime we wanted. We never got to go because of nap time but it was so nice of her! We stayed at Totsie and Papa's for the 2 weeks of lessons. In this pick you can see your leg stretched out- it took awhile for your body to relax and let your legs float behind you. By the last day you were looking really good! It was great therapy for you. We are thinking of joining an indoor pool here so that you can get practice year round! <br />

You did another session of IMOT this Summer. You made great gains! Here you are wearing the lovely neuro suit. You tolerate all of this really well and just absolutely love therapy! They really are like family to us! Ron (the one wearing the hat) is your main physical therapist. John Wesley is a student that was there for a few weeks and y'all just love each other so much. Fun fact: he just finished an MTV reality show called Caged. He is one of the fighters. I need to take pics of all your therapists so that you will always remember them. You've got a great team babe. <br />

Kids love boxes right? Cheap fun! This was definitely a hit with you. I remember my Pop use to put me in a box and carry me down the stairs and ask where I was. My Nona would go along with it and just say maybe I went to the neighbors and then would pretend to call Flosie (the neighbor). Then my giggles would get out of control and I would just jump out of the box. The best memories. <br />

You girls love wearing hats. Well, not really wearing them out and about, just like playing dress up with them. I think Addison looks way too grown up right here. I always tell her not to grow up too fast. She always says Ok:)<br />

This was taken inside that cabinet- with my phone. Another great picture. Probably could be clearer and the lighting could be better but who really walks around with their gigantic camera strapped to their chest? Not me. <br />

One of your favorite things about swim lessons- Elise Claire! Y'all hit it off immediately and you call her your best friend. We are lucky that they only live 5 minutes from us! We have already had a play date and you were just devastated that we had to go home. We hope to have them over soon if we can slow down for a second!<br />

It was one of the things that was physically hard for you. Jumping is something that is a huge challenge for you. Because you walk on your toes right now, it is almost impossible for you to jump and clear your feet off the ground (even though your braces keep your heels down). It's gotten better and will come down the road but right now it is hard! You love working at it though and try your very best. <br />

This was the first time y'all ever took a bath together. I hear alot of parents say it's faster to do this. Deep down we knew it wouldn't be. Atleast with our girls. It just means lots more playing and a little later bedtime. We haven't done it since. We will do it again on days when we are way ahead of schedule!<br />

Little Miss fashionista! You just love playing dress up and put on all kinds of random stuff. You love grabbing a bag and wearing your sunglasses and saying, "Mommy, I'm just like you"! You then tell me that you're leaving and you usually say you're going to the beach or on vacation. <br />

You love to say, "Ya know what'? Right before you say something to someone. It seriously comes out of your mouth a thousand times a day. It's pretty funny. I always respond with a very curious, "What"? You are so smart and just have so much to tell us about. I didn't realize it at first but figured out that when we start explaining things to you we always start with "You know what"? So, I guess it just stuck with you!<br />

Our "go to" restaurant is Outback. Addison just loves this place and I think you do too! You mainly just move around and color and try to get to all the sugars/ salt and pepper shakers, forks, and knives. When we get seated Matt and I immediately transform those tables. We are on a mission and just get to work immediately. Basically we have to take everything off the table except a sheet of paper and a crayon. You like to crawl across the table too. We just finally gave in and let you do this just to keep you happy. We have learned if we try to contain you in a restaurant you will go crazy. So, you just do your thing:) </div>

Your "INTENSE" smile! We just can't stop laughing at how you do this. You only do it when you see us pull out a camera. So to get a normal smile we just get you laughing and someone has to be all sneaky and take a quick pic of you before you notice!<br />

You have always loved pillows as I've said before. You are now starting to cover yourself up with blankets when you go to sleep. It is so cute to watch on the monitor. It also gives me peace of mind that you aren't freezing in your bed! You still prefer to sleep late. If everyone is quiet in the morning, you will easily sleep until 9! That is even when you go to bed at 7! You love your naps too and prefer them to be 2-3 hours. One of my favorite things is getting you out of your bed. I love a sweet snuggly baby. You always have so much to say when I scoop you up out of your bed. It's just a bunch of long mumbled sentences but you sure know what you're saying!<br />

Mom and I took a stroll through the mall awhile back and just let you roam around. You were running in and out of stores so fast. You would go in and then out over and over. You liked posing in The Gap window too! You went in and out of one store so many times that you messed up their alarm/beeper thing. It was hilarious! <br />

You love to climb into Addison's booster seat. Even though I push the chair all the way in, you will still find a way to squeeze your little body into that space. Once you do you will let out a big shout, "I did it"! You always say that when you do something you are super proud of!<br />

One day we were getting ready to leave and I went in the garage and put my purse and everything in the car. I walked back in the house for a split second and went back to the car. THIS is what I found. I was just confused and shocked. You were sooo proud of yourself and were grinning from ear to ear. <br />

I think you made Nona's day cause you really started playing with her and finally bonding! I think it just takes awhile. You don't get to see her a lot so it's kinda like you have to start over everytime. Well, you really warmed up that day and y'all had a blast. You would run across the room and then take off running towards her into her arms. This went on forever! <br />

Hanging out at the Peach store eating the best peach ice cream. Seriously incredible stuff. We look forward to it every year. <br />

You are really ready to be done with the high chair. You don't really want a booster either. You are ready to be a big girl and sit like Mommy and Daddy sit. We don't even get you a booster at restaurants. You basically play "musical laps" the whole time. Whatever keeps you happy! Addison still prefers a booster and she just stays put the entire time. <br />

One of the main things about this stage is your wanting to stroll around naked all the time! You rarely keep a diaper on anymore and I've just about given up on putting it on over and over. You will take it off in no time! It's so funny- and you have even tried to take your skin off! You will pull at it after you take everything else off and just get really frustrated. <br />

This is what I usually see when I'm in the kitchen. You walk around under my feet and speak your special language while looking at me like this. You have the appropriate amount of words and they are clear but you try to speak in sentences and it just is so mumbled together and sounds a little like Chinese. I know you wouldn't get nearly as frustrated if you could just communicate a little more clearly. A lot of the times you will walk around pretending to cry and say, "Mommy Mommy" over and over. I think in a way you would love to still be in that baby carrier strapped to my chest!<br />

Sweet Melody- these 2 months just flew by. They seem to somehow mesh together and I have a hard time distinguishing between the two! You are growing at a rapid rate and your personality is basically the same as the months before......just a little intensified. You are equal parts sugar and spice. Right here you obviously devoured your spaghetti. You love it as much as Addison and it always results in a bath! See the floor? That's what it always looks like during mealtime. Sunny and Bentley are great helpers in this department!</div>

You are really into "bobo's" right now and expect everyone to look at them over and over and kiss them. You will show me the same bobo over an entire month and say, "bobo bobo." I will then say, "Awww, do you have a bobo? and you will quickly reply, "yeah." The way you say it is hilarious. Just sounds real whiney and sad. Then I will ask if I should kiss it and you give another sad "Yeah." I remember Addison doing this same thing at this exact age! It's also funny how you can really hurt yourself and come running to me for a kiss on the bobo and then like magic you are healed! Love that!<br />

You girls should know that I made a huge deal about buying a potty. I did my research and read a TON of reviews. I think it paid off.<br />

The main thing that sticks out about 21 months is you jumping out of the crib! AHHH! Out of nowhere with no warning. Same story as Addison. You just tried it a year earlier. I heard you waking up on the monitor and like always we usually let you play/talk a little while before we come get you. I was finishing up some chores and all was well and then I heard a strange cry. It was the kind where I just knew something was off. I had just looked at the monitor and you were perfectly fine. I ran back and looked again and you were nowhere to be found. I ran in your room and there you were at the door waiting for me. I was totally shocked. I couldn't understand how you did this! I mean, I knew you were physical and can figure anything out but I just never saw you even try to get out of the crib. I figured out that you used your crib teething rail to pull yourself out. It is a cloth rap around thing with ties and you used the ties kinda like ropes to get out. Sneaky! I knew you weren't ready for a toddler bed and that you simply couldn't throw your leg over sooo we just removed the teething thing and you have stayed put! <br />

I have a slight case of mom guilt at the moment......you are currently 23 months old and I'm just now posting about you at 19 months! Sorry babe! In my defense we are always super busy and something is always more important than blogging:) There are a few points I typed out on my phone to remember you at this age. This is when you started getting really sneaky with everything you do. I have to really watch you and sometimes ask Addison to check on you if I can't. You will get into the craziest things or try to maneuver something in a way you shouldn't. You are just a little explorer and want to figure out how everything works! You are super fast. I have a pretty hard time catching you too. Not because your so fast but because you make quick moves at the last minute that trick me into believing you're headed in another direction. You obviously think things ahead! I will sometimes just leap across our big coffee table cause I get tired of this catch game. You think this is sooo hilarious. </div>

You have been eating with a spoon and can do it pretty well. I remember you would hate it if I would try and feed you with the spoon but then you would get mad when I just put it down. You found it hard to get all the food on the fork/spoon. SO, I figured out your frustration and would scoop the food for you but then let you feed it to yourself. Yeah, that took alot of patience! BUT it made you happy!<br />

Here we are just goofing off outside. You're such a little monkey. You've got the sweetest/silliest smile! We always laugh cause you do this thing where you scrunch your nose and your little teeth show through. We call it your chipmunk smile. Lets just say we are going to be having lots and lots of dental work done. No worries Melody, your sister will be right there with you! Y'all both have really crowded teeth and the dentist has already prepared us for the future with y'all:) <br />

More playtime outside. You typically just want to do whatever Addison is doing. Really you just want to steal whatever she is playing with. You will take whatever it is and run as fast as you can away from her with this worried look on your face. It is the funniest thing! Y'all still have the best time together though. <br />

You are still very much a momma's girl. You won't let anyone else give you your nightime milk if you know I'm in the house. You will scream and throw a fit until you get me in that recliner with your milk and water and Dora on the tv. You just melt in my arms. People are always shocked (grandparents) that you do this but I have to say I love it!<br />

One of the few pony tails that I was able to put in your hair. You just rip them down. The funny thing is that you bring me the rubber band and expect me to put it right back in every time. We are pretty close to that first haircut. (Not right here but at 23 months)!<br />

You love milk so very much. You call it "MIK". You just shout for it over and over. I will say your love for milk has really helped this momma. When Addison was this age she just didn't want to take much milk from a cup. I was always measuring and analyzing and it just had me in a ball of stress. She still doesn't drink a ton of milk these days but she makes it up with cheese, yogurt and ice cream!<br />

One thing you have definitely started doing is digging through my makeup drawer! I can't even put on makeup cause you wedge yourself in between me and the drawer while I'm sitting on the stool. It is so frustrating! I got tired of constantly telling you no and being worried about things spilling everywhere. You LOVE to unscrew caps and put them back on. Anything with tops completely intrigues you! So....I got Daddy to install one of those baby proof magnetic locks in the drawer. We had to go this route cause you have mastered all of the other baby proof things. I love it and you get sooo aggravated when you can't open the drawer. You were so confused the first time it wouldn't open! HA!!<br />

You love to lay in Addison's bed at home or the one Totsie sets up for her in Ruston. You ALWAYS sleep with your head on the pillow. You have done this from the moment I put one in your bed. That has always shocked me. <br />

Chillin' on sisters potty. Notice how Addison is reading you a book while you are sitting on the potty. Addison LOVES to have people read to her on the potty. We always tell her we will read to her as soon as she tee tees. That way we aren't sitting there forever. She does it real quick and then gets her story. You are sooo ready to be potty trained but this momma just doesn't have it in her. I really want to wait until you're 3 just like we did with Addison. I think it was great with her cause she was old enough and there were no communication barriers. We did the 3 day training program with her and BAM never looked back. That is exactly what I want to do again. I would rather wait another year and do it over the weekend rather than start now and battle with it for the rest of the year. No thanks!! So in the meantime you just think it's cool to sit on the potty.<br />

Sound asleep in the car. That's so rare- like never happens! The only time it would is if you were sick or if we were in the car during nap time. We are home during nap time 99% of the time. If y'all napped in the car all the time it would just not be good. We would have some super grumpy girls on our hands!<br />

You have mastered the art of taking your clothes off. It just happened one day and I was shocked! Addison never did this and her OT would talk to us about working on that. Well well, it seems all it takes is having a little peer pressure at home. As soon as you started learning how to do this, Addison was right on it. You two just take off and put on clothes all day long. Thanks Melody! Sometimes the best therapy is right at home!<br />

I'm just glad you don't do this in public! It's funny cause as soon as we walk in the door from running errands or picking Addison up, the clothes come off. I understand though- who wants to wear clothes in this heat?!<br />

All of the kids that have Summer birthdays are able to celebrate their bday during the last month of school. I think it's sweet and considerate since kids can't pick when their bday is. BUT this momma was really concerned about how to explain the whole thing to you. You are very aware that your birthday is July 29th, so when I told you we were having a party for you at school it was just a little bit confusing! I worded it ok and you seemed to do ok with it. Each time a child has a bday, they get to wear a crown on the way to chapel all the way through snack time. They also get to be the leader on the way to chapel and carry the flag. Once we are at chapel, you get to stand on the platform and say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing God Bless America. As you can tell you were a bit shocked with the whole thing. It's alot to handle because every class in the school goes to chapel! Anyway, parents and grandparents are invited for the birthday celebration. We also are in charge for snack time. I made your favorite- chocolate cupcakes! Now that I look back on it, it wasn't the best decision in the world! They were super messy and everyone has on such nice outfits! Oh well. They were yummy!</div>

Hanging out with Mrs. Blanchard. Oh you just loved her! I could NEVER have asked for a better teacher for you this year. She was just who you needed. The right amount of patience, understanding and silliness to help you learn to love school. We loved her too- I dreaded the last day saying goodbye to her. We talked about it and it was just so emotional. She made these amazing binder/scrapbooks of each kid throughout the year. It was so personal and I was just speechless at all the hard work put into them. I have tucked that binder away and will cherish it forever! The last day was filled with hugs and tears but I will say Addison made the end easier. She was having a tantrum and was ready to leave which made it all go by alot faster thank goodness! <br />

This was the morning of the End of Year Bash. I wish I had taken more pics cause you had such a great time. They had a jumpy house set up outside and of course lots of popsicles. Matt was able to come and we all had a picnic at the end. The picnic was a little stressful for me cause I was having to chase Melody around and keep things happy. I think the other families had babysitters for the siblings. The only babysitter y'all have ever had are grandparents! I'm just not there yet with the whole babysitting thing- don't know if I ever will be!<br />

This is pretty typical. Addison is all lovey dovey with Melody and Melody will get super upset and want nothing to do with it. I think it's just her age. I hope so- it would make Addison so happy if Melody returned the love!<br />

Everyone took their shoes off and went to jump in the jumpy house. You really loved it and I'm thinking I will get Papa to bring one over for your birthday party! You were all about the popsicles- you definitely had more than 1. We tried to give one to Melody and she was freaked out by them. I figured she would love them! Didn't want it near her!<br />

Here y'all are the very last day of Pre-K 3. Pretty emotional day. There was an End of Year program that was pretty cute. Y'all had been working on it for a long time in music class. It was basically all the nursery rhymes acted out in a play/musical format. Every child had a role which was so neat. You had 2 parts- Little Miss Muffet and the Moon in "Hey Diddle Diddle."<br />

There are some sweet memories of you that I need to write down so I won't forget! When you go to bed at night you always expect me to tell you a story and sing you 1 song. I think at some point I had to limit it all cause you kept wanting more and more stories and lots of songs. So now you know it is 1 story and 1 song. The story of choice is "Dora goes to Mary's house." It's not a real story, just something we made up one day. Mary is the one from "Mary had a little lamb." It goes like this......Dora is walking in the forest one day and she falls and scrapes her knee and needs a bandaid and some cream. She figures she will go to Mary's house to see if Mary can help her. She knocks on Mary's door and Mary is happy to help her and fix her bo bo. Obviously, we draw the story out alot more than that but that is the summary. We also substitute characters. Sometimes Diego goes to Mary's house or Baby Jaguar. She loves it! The song is either Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or our Good morning, Good morning, Good morning song. Sometime around the end of school you learned how to talk like a robot. You learned this from the boys at school when playing super heroes and robots with them! It's actually pretty funny. You teach me all kinds of things:) You have this amazing ability to light up any room you walk into and command the attention of everyone. Anyone that spends any time with you talks about how bright your personality is and how super smart you are. We've always thought you were smart, but you never know as a parent if you just think that about your child. One of the good things about different therapy's is the evaluations they do on the kids every once in awhile to see where they stand. Your speech and occupational therapists are floored at your smarts and have shown us on the charts that you are performing way above your age level. You are still in speech for oral motor skills and strength. This helps with the drooling that you use to have so very often. In OT y'all work on alot of core strength and strengthening your right side. Again, we are just so very blessed that the accident did not affect you mentally. God is so GOOD! You have been really interested in marriage lately and talk about it a good bit. I love telling you everything about everything. I think that's one of the reasons you are so smart! You are a sponge and soak in everything we teach you. Anyway, you told me one day that you are going to get married when you are 5. Just straight up told me that out of the blue. I always tell you that you can do things when you are 5. They are typically things that I don't want you doing right now. Like climbing our rock wall on the play set outside- get the idea? So, I said, "Oh really?" You said, "Yeah, but I have alot of things I need to do first. I need to go to the grocery store, then to Starbucks, then school." I was shocked. She's also into the whole pregnant thing. I always tell her stories of when I was pregnant with her.. Ha, I could write a novel on that pregnancy! Anyway, she put a ball under her shirt one day and said, "Look, I'm pregnant! But she followed it up with "but I can't have a baby until I get married!" Too cute and right on! Your smarts can be challenging sometimes. You are constantly learning and those wheels are always turning and trying to figure everything out. You just LOVE to learn and that is your form of play. You are ALWAYS quizzing us on things and what everything is and what it does and why. If we try to change the subject cause we are doing something else or we just might be too tired to answer, you get sooo frustrated and a tantrum begins. It can be tricky but we have to be careful on how we change the subject. It has to be something you find really interesting in order to make you forget about the original thought. At night we still "walk for skittles." This is where you make a conscious effort to walk with your heels down. Well, as you're walking you always hum a song. It can be any song. It's just funny cause the humming makes it seem like it is so easy for you to keep your heels down. You've gotten to where you draw out your stories. You will take a marker and just go to town on a sheet of paper. You will be sooo proud of your picture and will run to the kitchen to show it off to me and describe it in detail. I am always very impressed! Diego or Dora somehow makes their way in the picture everytime. You are also really into writing your letters. You've got all kinds of toys to help you and you just love to practice them! The other day you decided not to take a nap. If this happens, I just let you stay in your room until Melody wakes up. This is happening more and more. You don't mind and you just sit in bed until I come to get you. You KNOW not to get out of that bed. You won't even let your feet touch the floor! Matt and I just laugh at that while watching you on the monitor! If you don't take a nap you know that you don't get any smarties. You LOVE smarties. Anyway, you didn't get any that day but Melody did. A few minutes later I could tell you had been in deep thought. You came up to me and said, "Mommy, I think I am too old to take a nap." I just said, "Oh really." I was not about to explore that subject. We LOVE naptime and we need it to make it through the day!<br />

Setting up for Little Miss Muffett. I was told that you claimed this part from the VERY beginning! You were always very dramatic with the role and just loved the whole thing. You would come home from school and we would play out the entire thing in the backyard. It would make you sooo happy! You would always let me know who I should be- the spider or little miss muffett.<br />

"And frightened Miss Muffett away!" So, you ran away like you were suppose to but then you turned around and started to run the other way and off the stage! Mrs. Blanchard basically leaped forwards and caught you mid fall. You can hear a collective gasp in the video. You were totally fine with it and it didn't seem to faze you one bit. Kendal, however, skinned up her knee pretty bad! <br />

Here's miss priss at therapy with Riley. Riley had just finished IMOT and at the end of IMOT they throw each kid a party with their family. Well, Addison happen to be there during that time and they invited her in on the fun. She kinda thought the party was for the both of them so she got to wear a crown too. They love each other and get super excited when they get to see each other up there. Riley always yells out, "Addie Cat, Addie Cat!" It somehow became Addison's nickname up there and there is even a stretch that they have titled the Addie Cat stretch. It's a stretch that benefits Addison the most and is very important. </div>

Thought this was hilarious! You did this set up all by yourself. Just lounging in the backyard. You got it figured out little lady:)<br />

The time had come for another Baylor checkup and we decided we would do things a little bit different this time around. We have learned that we have to keep anything really exciting a big top secret from you right up until we are ready to show you. In the past we would let you watch us pack your bags and help us load the car, etc. You tend to get really anxious/excited about packing and it just gets to be too much. You always knew where we were going and it would be like that commercial, "Are we there yet, Are we there yet?" AND we would barely be out of Shreveport! Then it would be, "Where's Dallas, are we in Dallas? Is this Dallas? Over and over and over. Oh, and there are always terrible meltdowns in between all of that because you can barely handle the anticipation of it all. Sooo, we really wanted to try Great Wolf again cause you had been talking about it alot. BUT we had a strategy this time. The night before we had your bags packed and in the car and you had no idea where we were staying. You did know that it was time to go see Dr. Raji though. So as soon as we woke up that morning, we just got you ready and off we went. There was no prep work and no time for any tantrums! If we move quick and don't say much then things move so much smoother! So, these are out of order but here we are in the room about to head down to swim. You are so pumped at this point!<br />

Hanging out with your mouse. There are a bunch of different rooms you can get there and not all of them have "the mouse" in them. We have to make a point to get the same kind of room each time just so you can feed the mouse:) I think you would be devastated if we stayed in a different kind of room! <br />

This trip was the best one yet. Everything about it was great. I think one of the reasons is you're just getting older and moving out of the massive tantrum stage. Oh praise the Lord! Another thing that made it better was the location of the room. Once you get off the elevators to find your room, you will see a hall that is literally never ending. It could go on forever. Like to the other end of Texas. So, that has been an issue with Addison just getting up and down those long halls while you are screaming and freaking out. It just gets exhausting having to haul all of your stuff too. So, this time Matt requested a room closer to the elevator and thank goodness they had one. We literally stepped off the elevator and walked a few feet to our room! <br />

You LOVE trying on all the medical gear and pretending you are a doctor. I have no doubt that one day you will be. When we are at Baylor, you just own that place. You know everybody and just work your charm everywhere you go. You are just so comfortable there. <br />

Hangin' with Dr. Raji! We had great news this time!! This was the appointment we had been dreading cause Dr. Raji told us last time that she would more than likely want to do botox this time around. We had strongly considered it and then quickly changed our minds and were curious to see what she would say. We just never really know what she's thinking! She was so happy with her progress and said that Addison could dorsiflex (flex) both feet this time. She couldn't do any of that as of last time! She said there was no need for botox as long as she could do this! Now for the next appointment she wants to see even more improvement. She wants there to be even more range of motion. So we've been doing lots of exercises and doing the e-stem machine alot at therapy. This has really helped her. She is also finishing another round of IMOT as we speak. She got fitted for some new braces this week and hopefully will be finished soon. It's time for some new ones and you are so excited about getting them! I love that you look at them that way- they are just an accessory to your outfits:) You seriously love them. The new ones will be bigger since your feet are obviously growing but they will be a tad bit taller in order to keep your heels down better. <br />

I have mentioned before that you LOVE Dr. Raji's "sticker" on her forehead. You are obsessed with it and insist on touching it. Makes it very awkward for us! She doesn't mind thank goodness! Well, this time you told her you wanted one. I was just freaking out inside. But Dr. Raji just went with it and said, "Ok, I'll go get you some out of my office, be right back." No Way!! She totally came back with a small sticker book of red dots. Then, she put it on you and you wore that dot with pride the rest of the day! I think you had about 5 of them on your face at one point. I think you are going to expect a book of red dots every time we see her!<br />

This picture comes with a story. This was sometime in May after a few hours at therapy. That morning I was getting you dressed and ready for therapy when I heard some wheezing. I kept listening for it and we were so late that morning that I figured we would just do a breathing treatment when you got home. I mean, you were playful, silly and acting like your same ole self. So Matt loaded you up and off you went. I had mentioned it to him but he didn't think much of it either. The night before you were breathing just fine. So, I get a call from Matt saying your therapist had called and wanted us to bring you to the doctor. Matt had told them about it that morning and to watch out for anything and to take it easy. Well, apparently it got worse and real fast. They had you hooked up to the pulse/ox machine at therapy checking your oxygen and it was dropping. Matt rushed you to the doc and I met you there and y'all didn't even wait in the waiting room. It was that serious. They set you up in the break room and started you on treatments immediately. You had your blood taken to see what was going on. The doc said she thinks it was the start of bronchitis since your white blood count was up. It just happened so very fast and really worried me what could have triggered such an asthma attack. You were in distress as the doc says. She loaded us up on prescriptions and as I was scanning them all (all 6 I believe) I noticed Prednisolone. I begged her to give us something else cause you have been on that before (when you had your first peanut reaction) and the results are not pretty. It makes you nuts! She said you had to take that drug cause we have to be very aggressive with this since it was so bad. So, you took about half your doses and we called and begged for us to stop. You were just not the same child for those few days. It was really scary and as soon as they approved us to stop, we got the old Addison back! Hallelujah! This pic was on the way home from the doctor that day. We were all just done. Do you see how pale you are? <br />

We had to do so many breathing treatments it was not even funny. We used two different kinds of medicines with the nebulizer and did them forever. Any time we travel, we have to pack the nebulizer just in case. <br />

Well here is Easter 2012! A little late to post so I will try my best to remember all the fun details. Here is Addison in her Easter bonnet hat waiting for the Easter Parade to start at school! More on that later........</div>

We celebrated Easter in Ruston on Saturday instead of Sunday. We were excited about that so that the girls could wake up to their Easter baskets at our house on Easter morning. Anyway, we went for lunch and a fun egg hunt. The girls also dyed some eggs. We had full intentions to dye eggs at our house but since my Mom had it all layed out, we decided to let her handle that area! <br />

Melody was fascinated with the Egg hunt and would immediately open every one to get to the skittles. This little lady doesn't chew things one at a time. She likes to see how many she can stuff in her mouth at once! Makes this Mama a tad bit nervous. We did skittles since they are peanut free!<br />

Addison was so into it this year. Last year was very different for obvious reasons. We were at Baylor in Dallas for her rehab. We tried to make the most of it though. I remember putting the girls in their dresses and bringing in these awesome Easter baskets full of all kinds of toys. Then, we hid eggs all over her hospital room. She wasn't walking at that stage but that didn't stop her! She would crawl, use the walker or hold our hands to find every last egg. Wow, look at you Addison! Do you see how far you've come!??!! AMAZING.<br />

The girls woke up the next morning to 2 Easter baskets each! One from the Easter bunny and one from Totsie and Papa. They were so very excited about this! Let me just say, the Easter bunny has really helped us in the discipline department this year. Anytime Addison would act up we would always tell her that the Easter bunny is watching her and won't bring her a chocolate bunny. So, everytime she would do something good we would call the Easter bunny on the phone and tell him she deserved the chocolate bunny. And if she wasn't listening we'd call him and tell him. Her response to this was amazing! If we ever needed her to do anything we would just tell her we would call the Easter bunny and she would respond immediately. Addison reacts much better to praise and rewards than she does to punishment. We started having a hard time with her listening to the teacher and acting up the last few months of school. Sooo, we decided to pull out the suckers. She LOVES suckers. We told her that if her teacher or therapists tells us that she did good and listened all day, then she will get a sucker as soon as she gets in the car. So, she got to hear the positive reports from her teacher and therapist and was quickly rewarded with one of her favorite treats! We have not had a problem since! They are amazed at the difference it made! <br />

So, Addison was super excited to see that chocolate bunny waiting for her in her basket. She certainly deserved it!<br />

After we did Easter baskets, we looked outside and saw that the Easter bunny had hid some eggs in our backyard! We quickly got dressed to start the hunt.<br />

Addison felt she needed her bunny glasses during the hunt. There were times when she was rockin' the glasses AND the ears at the same time. I love it!<br />

Melody was loving Addison's mattress bed at Totsie and Papa's. She so wants to be in a big girl bed. She will get in Addison's bed and cover up and lay her head perfectly on the pillow. Sweet little girl. See that scrape under your eye? Well, we were at Totsie and Papa's and I was loading y'all up in the car on our way to have Easter pictures made and you started running in the driveway and took a nose dive. Seriously?! Mom was freaking out but I was all calm and saying she could just edit it out. And she did! Pictures turned out great!<br />

Addison's school does an Easter parade every year and asks the parents to be creative and make an Easter bonnet/hat for the kids. Who has time for this?? My Mom and I brainstormed while we were in Dallas for my bday and we just picked up little things to throw on a hat. Well, we didn't end up making it. Mom got some lady to do it for us and it turned out precious! I was prepared to use my hot glue gun though. I love a hot glue gun. It was so fun seeing all of the bonnets and how different they all turned out. So cute!<br />

So the parade was outside and they just marched around the garden. The music teacher played the piano the whole time and the parents were just going crazy with the cameras. Each kid had to bring a fresh flower to flower the cross during the parade. <br />

Then they had a program where they sang a few songs. Melody was really getting into it! I'm pretty sure she will know all these songs by the time she goes here. She has enjoyed all these programs so much and is just fascinated by the older kids.<br />

You seemed pretty over it by this point. See Henry with the sucker? I couldn't give you one and I hated that! I have to be able to read the fine print on labels of everything you eat, and the bag had already been thrown away. I get really aggravated when people don't remember these things. Thankfully you are really aware of the allergy and I just went ahead and told you that it had peanuts in it and that I would give you one of ours when we got in the car. Problem solved. I definitely dodged a bullet.<br />

The Easter bunny came to visit while we were at Totsie and Papa's! Melody was freaked out just like she was with Santa (to be expected). Addison was totally fine with it. I think you are ok with Santa and the Easter bunny cause we never exposed you to them as a baby. We waited till you were 3. <br />

I took these of y'all right before I dropped you off at school for the Easter parade. I find them so hilarious. I'm not sure how old y'all will be until I can get a good, smiling pic of both of you! But for now, these will do:) I remember being all rushed and saying, "Come on y'all smile, just smile real quick, ok not like that....just make a normal smile." Oh well, sometimes action pictures are better. They tell the REAL story! Years from now when I look back on these pics, I will totally appreciate the funny faces and not so perfect poses.

So, NO our kids did not get 4 baskets from the Easter bunny. They each got one from the Easter bunny and Totsie and Papa. Just a tad overwhelming.<br />

Waking up to see what the bunny left them! Notice the Christmas PJ's! I love it! I've said it before and I'll say it again....We wear our pj's until they no longer fit. I'm secretly hoping they still fit by Christmas so we won't have to buy new ones. They were expensive!<br />

Notice Addison holding up socks? She loves Hello Kitty and we had gotten her some Hello Kitty ankle socks awhile back. Well she loved them and wanted some more. So, I told her if she was good the Easter bunny might bring her some more. She was sooo excited to find them in her basket!<br />

You LOVE your little sister SOOO much! Even though she bosses you around and you let her! She is your very best friend. She is the first person you want to see when you wake up and when you get home from therapy. I love that you have your own games that you play with eachother even though we can't figure them out. You are my second set of eyes with her. You are always watching out for her and know what's right and wrong. You will immediately tell me if she is about to do something that could hurt her. You are my "Little Mama!"<br />

And here we are.....A YEAR LATER!!! You are definitely our little miracle! If we ever get around to posting the whole injury story with the pictures, anyone who reads this will be shocked to see what all you have overcome. I know we will get around to posting about it, but I think truthfully I am procrastinating because it just hurts so bad to think about it or have to spell it out in words. Sometimes I just think there is no way that it all happened. A nightmare. BUT here you are a year later and ready to conquer anything that gets in your way! You are one determined little lady and will stop at nothing!</div>

Here are some pics at therapy one day. (this wasn't the actual anniversary day). That thing you are standing on is not stable. It's rounded at the bottom and rocks side to side. Lots of core and leg work to keep it stable!</div>

We love hanging out with our neighbors. It feels like we've known them for life and we are just a part of their family. The girls love going over there and playing with their grandaughter Lilly. We have become really good friends with Lilly's parents Laura and Clay. They also live right around the corner. Can you tell Addison is a happy camper? We love playing with them on the weekends!<br />

We have been spending so much time outside lately. Y'all love to color and paint together. Then when that is over you just chase eachother all over the yard and climb in the tree house. Melody is such a little monkey and can climb anything and is FAST. She makes me so nervous and I always have to be right behind her. She is determined (just like you) and will find a way to make something happen. Y'all have been getting along a little bit better. There are days where it is just great and y'all will play side by side with different toys and be completely content. Then you will chase eachother and laugh for hours and hours. Those days are great. THEN there are days that couldn't be more opposite. Lots of screaming, crying, pushing......where I am just a referee and am about to lose it. Poor Matt ends up getting several desperate phone calls on days like that. When it's bad I will sometimes get out of the house when he gets home just to get a breather. Being a Stay at home Mom is INTENSE! BUT I do love it and I know that my girls benefit from it. <br />

You always insist on wearing your sunglasses outside. One day we were loading up in the car and I look back at you and you're walking out with your glasses on, purse on your arm and necklace around your neck. WOW. What a little miss priss! What's funny is that you are waaay more stylish than I am! You get in our closet when I'm getting dressed and try to tell me what to wear. I will usually go with it too! My very own stylist! I certainly need the help!<br />

Here you are posing it up on the day of the anniversary. I thought alot about how we would approach this day as it was getting closer. It would be very easy to be sad and ask "Why" all day long but we decided to do the opposite. We will always look at this day as a celebration of how far you have come and all you have accomplished. What a strong little girl you are and what you have taught every single one of us about Faith, determination and strength. On this morning March 26, 2012 I got up super early to go get you and your therapists Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They are your favorite! We made sure you understood what was going on and what happened a year ago on that day. We brought the doughnuts to therapy that morning so every one of your therapists could celebrate with you! I wrote a letter to them letting them know how much they mean to us and thanking them for all of their hard work. They really mean the world to us! So that entire day you were sure to let everyone know that it had been a year since you hit your head and were sent to the hospital. You told everyone this for atleast a week. <br />

Here y'all are at Totsie and Papa's house. We have taken Melody out of her crib at their house and she now sleeps in your big crib. So, you had nowhere to sleep! I brought your old crib mattress from home for the time being and that seemed to work just fine! Melody really wanted to sleep with you! That night after you had fallen asleep, I snuck in the big bed next to you and you never even knew. I told Matt it was so soothing to have you in there with me and listening to you breathe. We have now purchased one of those fancy portable blow up mattresses from One Step Ahead. We haven't used it yet but we will very soon. You have 2 weeks of swim lessons coming up that will be in Ruston. You are SOOO excited about this and have been talking about it forever! You were signed up last year but couldn't do them because of the accident. You are ready now!!<br />

I'm guessing these pics were taken at the end of April beginning of May. I say that cause it's obviously already getting hot here (look at your red face) and you would ask everyday when we can start to swim. We have several blow-up pools we pull out in the Summer. Since the swimming in the backyard can be a bit of a chore, Matt and I would tell y'all we can't swim until it's Summer. Then we would say Summer isn't here until school is out and then it will be hot enough. Poor thing. It would be mid 80's and you would say," It's not Summer yet, we can't swim yet cause I'm still in school and it's not hot enough. " Brainwashing 101. We won't be able to get away with this for much longer. <br />

So y'all just played and played in the sand/ water box during those April days. I am very behind on these posts but right now it is almost June and am happy to say that the pool thing is going pretty good so far. It's just alot to watch both of you around water and that makes me VERY nervous! I think there should always be 1 parent to 1 child when there is water involved and so we try and do all of our swimming on the weekends when Daddy can help us!<br />

I thought this was such a sweet dress on you. Funny story behind it though. It was teacher appreciation week and on this day you had to wear your teachers favorite color. Mrs. Blanchard's is yellow. WELL, I searched your closet and couldn't find anything yellow so we went out the day before and found this sweet dress. It is clearly made to be monogrammed but they didn't have time for that! Oh well! It still looked precious and I eventually got your name monogrammed in pale pink. (there is a pink stripe at the very top).<br />

Oh I had a nice 30th birthday! It was very low key and sweet, sweet, SWEET! I don't really know why but I was super emotional on the day this year. I can't remember how many times I cried in that one day. They were all very happy and grateful tears though. I thought about my emotions and what in the world could be going on.....Matt loved to add his two cents in at this point:) I just think this time of year will always be a little extra sensitive because Addison's accident was on March 26, 2011. I will always associate my birthday with her injury- my bday is March 23rd. That is ok though. As the anniversary grew closer I just found myself thinking about it alot more and how grateful I am that we have come SO far and that she is SO healthy. It could have been a very different story. It was very bad but it could have been so much worse. Anyway, I need to save all of that for her big anniversary post! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mom came over on my birthday and Matt left work that day around noon. We did cake and then Matt and I were off to pizza and a movie! I just love getting to hang out with him- just the two of us!) One of the best things about that day was how considerate Addison was. Anytime it is someones birthday, she really gets with it and makes sure that person is totally taken care off. She is always concerned if they have a drink and if it's what they really want, the first piece of cake, a plate, napkin......you get the idea. She was definitely in charge of the whole thing and at the very end when I blew out my candles she shouted, "Mommy! Don't forget to make a wish!" If she only knew what my wish was (I choked back more tears as I told her I already made one).</div>

The very next day Matt and I went to Dallas for a getaway and stayed at Hotel ZaZa. This is where we always stay if we are in Uptown. That might be our last time though. Something was different about it and we just might venture out next time. <br />

When we got there we stopped for lunch at the Idle Rich Pub. We just love it there. We like to eat on the deck and people watch on Mckinney. <br />

Oh this is funny- poor Matt. He always gets me an ice cream cake and he ordered it in Dallas and we let the hotel keep it in their freezer till we are ready for it. WELL, he gave very specific instructions to make it pastel colors (cause that's what I love). The look on his face was priceless! He was so mad and disappointed. He tried so hard and I just laugh everytime I look at the cake. It was like red, purple, white, green and pink. It was perfect:) It tasted amazing and that's all that matters!<br />

On Sunday we stopped by our favorite breakfast joint. The Original Pancake House (Not to be confused with IHOP!) It's incredible. I could just eat there all day long.<br />

A couple of weeks before we went to Dallas, we headed over to Baton Rouge so Matt could meet with some clients and we could pick up our new Tahoe! On the way back I was craving Stanton Hall/ Carriage House in Natchez and Matt said, "Well lets go then." I just didn't think about it being on our way home. We would always go here growing up and I have the best memories of it. I even did the pilgrimage at Elgin Plantation for 3 years. I got to dress up in those cool hoop dresses and give tours of the house! Anyway, the best memories. <br />

They closed at 2 that day and we called them probably 5 times telling them we were going to cut it close and they said they would let us in. I'm telling you, I HAD TO HAVE those biscuits. It was one of those situations. <br />

Since we were the last ones to be seated and leave, I begged them for a thing of biscuits. They were happy to give these to us cause they said they just throw them out at the end of the day! WHAT??! We didn't eat all of them though:) I gave some to my parents. <br />

Here we are at the Dragon fly inside of Hotel ZaZa. We had just gotten back from dinner and decided to be wild and crazy and stay up past 10. We were soooo out of place. It was almost uncomfortable. But we had to take pictures to document and then we rushed back to our room. I quickly changed into my raggedy old sweats. I swear if we weren't staying there we wouldn't have gotten pass their special rope. <br />

I think she looks SO grown up right here. When I see pictures of her like this, I find myself trying so hard to see that baby girl I delivered almost 4 years ago. Even in this picture I can still find those eyes and that same nose that I saw for the first time on July 29, 2008.<br />

Here's another one of those emotional things that happened. So, our wedding video is on a VHS tape (it was in 2004 and I guess some people were still using VHS). Anyway, for a very long time I have always worried that someday we would never be able to watch our wedding cause there would be no more VCR's. It was one of those nagging, Honey do things that has always been on our list. Well, he found a place that converted it to a DVD! I knew it was possible, it was just making the time to do it. So, when I opened it I was kinda shocked and thrilled and then I have no clue what happened. Addison was pretty confused to say the least. I had to explain that you can cry when you're happy too! <br />

Mom and I have always gone to Dallas for my birthday so we went the very next weekend! That's right, two weekends back to back in Dallas- Perfection! We got up early Saturday morning and ran 5 miles (stayed close to the hotel). It was really fun and then we shopped and ate the rest of the time! I really love running with her cause it is the only time we can talk without the girls screaming at us!Laura and Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09738620987021614904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603008087142307618.post-15050679389343708102012-03-17T19:30:00.000-07:002012-03-17T19:30:45.756-07:00Happy 17 & 18 Months Melody!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am combining the 17th and 18th month pics on here cause things have been super busy and I never got around to doing last months! Here are some funny things that you have been doing lately......</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We have always given you this sweet little bunny/blanket to sleep with. It's silk on one side and you just love it. We have always referred to it as your "lovey" and all of the sudden you have started calling it your "La La." You will walk all over the house calling out for "La La" until you can find her. I'm guessing "Lovey" is too hard for you to say right now so you found something that works for you! So cute! Funny thing is that it was actually given to Addison in her first Easter basket from Totsie and Papa. She never really took to it! I don't think you mind hand-me-downs all that much! (THANK GOODNESS)! Now since you have a "La La", Addison thinks all of her favorite snuggly things are called "la la's" too. She says,"This is Melody's La La and this is my La La." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</tbody></table> You love your feet so much. I will find you sitting on the ground with you holding your foot up to your eyes just studying the bottom of it. I would LOVE to know what you are thinking! You also like to smell things! I catch you sniffing the palms of your hands all the time! HA! <br />

That little 2 year old is right around the corner and we are preparing for it! I am happy to say that Addison's behavior has drastically improved just in time for to begin:) That's ok.......atleast we know what to expect! I don't really think I could handle both of you acting like that at the exact same time! 3 year olds bring it to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. 2 Year olds are EASY! I think some of your little tantrums are due to lack of communication. You will get so frustrated and just start slinging things all over the place. Your words are growing and we get you to repeat simple words every now and then. But most of the time you like to talk in your baby jibberish. I pretty much love that! I just nod my head and act as if I know exactly what you are telling us. <br />
You think you're invincible right now and it totally freaks me out! You are a daredevil and just do things without thinking. You are still very physical and I am amazed at the stuff you can do. We will definitely be in gymnastics this Fall! We caught you climbing in the lazy boy a few weeks ago. We watched you attempt it for a few days and you were just bound and determined to figure it out! You love to just sit in it and rock. You will also grab the remote and try to mess with the TV. Addison will get so mad cause Dora is usually on and you will change some setting and it just freaks her out! It's pretty funny! We really can't take our eyes off of you due to your climbing skills. You have tried standing and bouncing in that chair and we really have to get on to you. I think it worked cause you haven't tried it since. We DO NOT need another bad fall in this house!<br />

I'm still amazed at how you can find the beat. <br />
You have gotten to the age where you realize you have a sibling and you have to work at getting our attention. You have started to get a little jealous when you don't have our FULL attention and you make sure that you get it one way or another!<br />
You LOVE some food! You will just PANIC until you can get it in your mouth. When I'm making everyones food I always start yours a little early and let you eat ahead of everyone else. Cause if you spot me in the kitchen making dinner, you just have a massive meltdown until I put you in the high chair. Ya'll couldn't be more opposite when it comes to this! While you beg to eat, Addison begs to play for "15 more minutes". She tries to drag it out as long as she can!<br />
You still growl every time you see a tiger- and that is alot! Living here we are always surrounded by Mike the Tiger. The other day we passed a gas station that had a tiger as the mascot and all the sudden you just start growling like crazy. It's not a sweet little growl either! It is a serious bobcat sounding growl- hilarious! I just love it!!<br />

Lovely quality! I don't care though and they are too sweet to pass up! Here you are sweet Melody, just hanging out with Daddy in our bed. You LOVE to play in our bed. So, take a look at the pic below. You see that face? THAT is how you are 99% of the time. Seriously! You are always happy and sooo easy going. You are still my cuddle bug and are VERY MUCH a momma's girl. Addison is still a daddy's girl! Thank goodness we have one of each! You always want me to hold you for a long time right after you wake up. This is usually a hard thing to do cause we typically have to be getting dressed to go somewhere. Thanks to you my arms are the strongest they have ever been!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was early in the morning and we had just dropped Addison off at school. Since the store was basically empty, I just let you roam the aisles. Oh wow. Honestly, that was the first time I've ever let you do that. You are always permanently attached to my hip and I've just basically accepted that. (I love it by the way). Anyway, it didn't take you long to figure out what to do. You tore that store up and I just let you. I was right behind you picking up everything you pulled down. You were pretty ticked at me when I said it was time to go!<br />

Notice that pillow behind your head? Yep, you were pretty happy and didn't move a muscle! You ADORE pillows. You will bury your head in them and roll all over them. We have a castle in the playroom that we stuff full of pillows for you. You will run in there and just throw yourself on top of them! When I was little I had a special pillow that I carried EVERYWHERE with me. I would suck my thumb up against it. That love affair ended when my mom just threw it away one day out of nowhere! DEVASTATED! So in a way I would love for you to pick up the pillow habit. <br />

I'm not talking texture or anything like that. It's just that you REFUSE to keep a bow or rubberband in that hair! We aren't "bang" people, so there is this side swept hair that is constantly in your eyes. It drives me crazy!! I'm really hoping you grow out of it soon. I can usually sneak a bow in if you're distracted, but within 5 minutes you will be running up to me handing me that bow! This day I was able to sneak in some pigtails. I believe these were the first ones. Gosh they're cute!<br />

Bless your heart. There will be plenty of time for that in the future! The only time we have to get on to you is when you purposefully take something from Addison that you know she loves. We watch the whole thing go down. You will sit back and plan your attack. Then all of a sudden you sweep in, take the toy and run for your life! You will be screaming the entire time you run away. It is seriously the funniest thing ever! As you take off, Addison will be right behind you screaming your name. There is never a silent moment in this house! Sometimes you won't feel like running from her and you decide to face her head on. You will take the toy and as she starts yelling at you, you will look her straight in the eye and chew her out! We can never understand what you are saying but it is clearly an argument. It is in complete baby talk but you know exactly what you are saying and are determined to stand your ground. I think it's good for the two of you to have this:)<br />

Actually we never really had a Winter this year (weird). I always tell your Daddy it's "Global Warming." Not sure I believe in all of that but I just like to say that around him cause it makes him mad! There is NO WAY he believes in that stuff. He thinks it's ridiculous. Oh your Daddy.......how I am crazy about that man. I have been ever since day 1. He is my best friend and can make me laugh like no other! I need to do a full post on him! <br />

If I ever give you a snack in the car, you will take it out of your snack cup piece by piece and put in your cup holder. I never really see what's going on until I go to get you out of the car and there are a TON of goldfish floating around in your cup holder. AHH! I can't ever give you a drink while I'm driving cause you love to take the straws out, the lids off and find certain ways to pour it all out. You also love to strip in the car. Any article of clothing that can be taken off (socks, shoes, bows....) will always be within the first 15 minutes of the car ride. It would probably be easier for me if I just wait to get you dressed once we reach our destination! Seriously....I've thought about it. You just really don't like accessories! <br />

Oh my gosh!!! It's a pretty big birthday and a lot of people dread it but we have talked about it and we are both very excited about it. There's so many wonderful things in the future and so much to always look forward to. This is a great time in our lives and we are SO BLESSED to have two of the sweetest girls in the whole world! It's going to be amazing watching y'all grow over the next 10 years. I definitely think the 30's will be better than the 20's!!!<br />

Therefore, I made a cake so the girls wouldn't have to miss out on anything. Don't you worry, he still got his cookie cake (a double doozy to be exact). Addison is so pumped that it's Daddy's birthday! She sang to him all day and made sure he never forgot it was his birthday!<br />

I told Matt the other night that we need to either put locks on all the cabinets/drawers in the house, or empty every single one! You are always pulling everything out and dragging things all over the place. It really is funny and keeps you very busy. You are just so curious and need to know what everything does. <br />

I only say that cause I can compare to what Addison use to do. She was soooo into all of that (still is) and we would just read for hours when she was your age. You will sit still for about 3 books and then need to get up and move around. You would just rather be testing the limits to see how high you can climb on something or try to figure out how a certain toy works. I was spying on you through my car mirror the other day and caught you dancing to an Adele song. You were really getting with it and my heart just burst with pride! You don't really care to watch movies in the car or TV in the house. You just wanna dance to some good music!! You are a very light sleeper. (Well, I guess it depends on the time of day). At night, Matt and I do "rounds" as we like to call them. We go check on you girls and cover you up one last time. WELL, Addison can sleep through anything cause we usually lift her up and position her in the center of her bed. She will sometimes look at us and go right back to sleep. Then we tip toe to your room and the second we open the door, you will sit up immediately! It's like you were never even asleep! We always have to run out of there and never get the chance to cover you up. I am usually laughing like crazy at this point. I tend to laugh way too much when I know I'm suppose to be quiet! In the morning it is a different story. Addison is up by 7 singing in her bed waiting for us to come get her. If we are super quiet, you like to sleep until 8. I LOVE that!<br />

Genius idea! We went to Ruston and they came here to watch y'all. It was really neat for us and kinda like going on vacation (FOR FREE)! We showed up at their house and they had all these gift certificates to where Matt wanted to eat, cake, balloons, presents.....you get the picture. We started at Johnny's that night. Obviously. There really is just no other like it. The next day we went to Monroe for massages. Those were amazing! That night we ate at Rabb's and went to a movie. After that he said he wanted to throw some darts at Rabb's. I went along with the idea cause it was his birthday but ended up having a great time! We were there before midnight so we beat the college crowd. We almost stayed to hang out and reminisce but we were exhausted! HOW did we use to do that?? I kept saying,"It's 11:30, do you realize this is when I would be putting on makeup to go out?" Weird weird weird. <br />

I of course let her! We give you a cup of milk (with the straw) before bedtime and let you sip on that while watching Sesame Street or The Backyardigans. Matt will sometimes insist that he give you the milk cause he knows we will cuddle and laugh for way too long and he is pretty much a drill sergeant when it comes to bedtime. It's just hard for me to put you to bed when you are so very lovey. <br />

She wears braces to help pull her heals down and maintain her range of motion. The goal is for her to one day no longer need the braces!! At night we do alot of walking without the braces. We try to provide things that promote a natural stretch to get those heals down! The latest is a ruler! We just taped it to the bottom of her shoes and she is unable to come up on her toes or she will fall! She does great at this and is very capable of putting her heals down. She can even do it barefoot. She just has to be thinking about it to make it happen. If she gets excited and gets to going fast, up on the toes she goes. It's gonna take a ton a patience but if we think about where we started, this is soooo not a big deal!!!! Have to put it all in perspective!! <br />

If your heals come off the ground we make you start over! Right before you eat a skittle, you name the color, count how many there are (in english and spanish- you can count to 8 in Spanish) and tell us that you are taking away one and therefore there are so and so many left. We figure why not make it educational too?? You're a rockstar!!<br />

They have brought this up since we were discharged but we refused to start with something so invasive. We wanted to let your body heal and see how far it would take you. Well, you have come sooo far and your physical therapists here totally agree with us. They have been watching your progress over 9 months and they see you 3 times a week and can tell a dramatic difference. Since your progress is considered very speedy, we have a hard time doing the botox. Your calves are very tight which causes the tip toeing and that is where the botox would be injected. If we are to do it, the goal would be to give the muscles in your shins a chance to strengthen (since they are currently being over powered by your calfs) and also give you the chance to make walking with your heals down a habit. Botox only lasts 3 months and there is a chance that your calves would tighten up again. Even if they do, our hope is that your shins will be strong enough to pull your heals down and you will have a strong enough habit of keeping them down so that we won't have to do it again. With all that being said, we still are against it at this point and really think you can do this on your own! Botox is being used for all kinds of things nowadays and that's great and all but I don't want it on my baby! It is a TOXIN and not even FDA approved for children- even though they have been using it for the last 25 years on kids. It will be a very hard decision to make if we go through with it. <br />

Your Daddy and I walked out of that school beaming with pride! We had thrown around the idea of letting you repeat Pre-k 3 because of the injury. We talked to your therapist and also your teacher. The first thing Mrs. Blanchard said to us was, "Y'all have NOTHING to worry about". She has been quizzing the kids individually the last few weeks and seeing where each of them stand. We talked for about 45 minutes and it was only suppose to be for 15! She loves you sooo much! She told us not to say anything but that you were at the top of the class and would be very bored and frustrated if we decided to hold you back next year. She then told us some of the things they will do in Pre-K 4 and we all completely agreed that you had to move on. You are definitely ready! It's funny cause she said there are times where she is teaching something that you already know and you get so bored and just quit listening. Then if she teaches something you have never heard of, you are all ears and very focused. I talked to your Occupational Therapists about all of this and she said there are some things that you are behind on motor skill wise. I kinda thought that was weird and decided to tell her what your teacher said. Then she went, "Oh yeah, she is off the charts cognitive wise, but needs a little help with things like sissors, lacing beads, etc." She said that you are "Amazing" and for the type of injury you had it is just incredible at the progress you have made. She said that she would never hold a child back for motor skill delays if they are on track cognitively. So we are thrilled as can be and are 100% sure that you are ready for Pre-K4! Some things about you---you are happiest when you're learning. You always want to learn something new. You are constantly flipping through books acting like you're reading or playing with flashcards with shapes on them or doing some sort of puzzle. You also love to color and paint. You are getting really good at staying in the lines and putting the right colors where they are suppose to go. Anytime we need you to sit still for awhile without our help, a coloring book can always do the trick! You will try to memorize a book and will always say,"What's that say? What's this say?"Then you will sit by yourself and read it over and over and over the best way you remember it! Your memory is so amazing. Another funny thing- you LOVE to wear my bra! You will ask to put it on and I will start to do it and you get so mad and say, "NO! Under my shirt!" You want to wear it just like every other woman does. Yikes. Matt always says, this is too early for all of this! Lately, you have been getting sooo hyper before bedtime and nap time. I know it's just your way of keeping yourself up but it scares us! You will get really careless and start laughing and falling all over the place. We just shut all the gates and keep you off of the hard floors and get you to bed as fast as we can!!<br />

It's pretty much guaranteed that she has to have a bath every single night. The way she eats is just hilarious! And sometimes we think, "Oh wow, she's still pretty clean, no bath tonight!" Usually that's when she will take a handful of bananas and rub it all into her nice clean hair.<br />

Driver's Ed and a little under the weather<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So we have started drivers ed at our house and boy it has been interesting. We don't drive it a ton cause I think she has a love/hate relationship with it! It gets kinda frustrating for her when she knows where she wants to go but doesn't end up going in that direction. So anyway, we give it a go on days when we're feeling pretty ambitious! Dora still rides with you everytime. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8y5r5nZdL2hGQxfsc2aoJ4ycpndi0JJuAcd32jxBqdQk-gIJgpa12MMux1O6BWXprB7GYGH22EGAtViB7lCHYUJPhYEA5eu4dzLrjvAxV11s0EPGPcunhc2vudYiFXuRsJdbvarI1W7b2/s400/IMG_1380.jpg" width="300" /></div>You wanted to wear your Dora dress this day and I just went with it. You are always VERY specific on which one you want to wear. Whether it be Dora, Belle, the tutu or my nightgown! <br />

You were ready to ride in his though. I just sat back and flashed to the future and saw you riding down the rode with Max on your first date. OH NO! This Mama is NOT prepared for that kinda nonsense! He was all driving crazy and pumping the gas on and off real fast. I could hear you giggle and scream all the way down the road. He was for sure impressing you. It was probably best that Daddy didn't see any of that! Oh, and I have the whole thing on video. Just in case we need it in the future!<br />

It probably doesn't look like it since you're sitting on him, but you really are crazy for him! I think you love Sunny too but for some reason you and Bubbi just click. Poor guy, he just lets you do whatever. Sometimes he even sleeps through it all! On this day, you just walked up to him and sat on him. Just out of nowhere. I was pretty lucky to catch that on camera!<br />

I just glanced over one day cause it was quite in the playroom and this is what I saw! I guess you thought you were the baby. You also started standing in it. We decided to be proactive and go ahead and put it up before an injury occurred. We have had to do that to a few toys. You just LOVE to climb and it wigs me out! Addison NEVER did this at your age and the fact that you have only been walking for 2 months really shocks us. You are very coordinated with everything and seems like you might be kinda sporty. It's funny what different personalities you two have. When Addison was your age she was saying around 60 words but just started walking and NEVER showed interest in climbing or testing things out. While you are coordinated, you only say 7-10 words right now! <br />

We got rid of the chicco carseat and got you the very same one as Addison. We thought you would LOVE facing forward and watching movies with Addison but you have been kinda fussy ever since we made the change. Maybe it's all new to you and you just aren't use to it yet? It also could be that you cut a tooth over the past couple of weeks. This was the first time you got to ride in it facing forward- kinda shocked I think!<br />

I was kinda not paying attention and then I happen to glance over and see that she was in fact painting a face! She has never done that before and it is a huge deal to us! A major milestone and something that they work on in occupational therapy. She was saying, "Mommy, now I'm gonna draw some eyes, and now a nose, and then a mouth.....and so on and so on. Pretty proud of my little girl:) Yep, I texted these suckers out asap!<br />

And another super smart thing your doing is counting in Spanish! You can go all the way to 7! Pretty cool to hear you switch back and forth between Spanish and English when you count. And this is where I have to say, "Thank you Dora!" Yesterday morning you just barged into the kitchen and said, "Hola Mommy!" So funny! <br />

You basically took the week off from school and therapy and hung out at home. I think you were pretty happy! The first day you were camped out on the couch watching Dora. So sweet and cuddly!<br />
So when I took you to the doc she listened to your breathing and tried to say that you had a touch of mild asthma. There was a little wheezing and so she talked alot about asthma and pushed the breathing treatments. Matt and I are so not convinced about this asthma thing. Until her allergy doc in Dallas says so, we will just keep on keeping on. She has NEVER had any problems before and for heavens sake, she had BRONCHITIS! I use to wheeze when I had bronchitis. Ugh, whatever. So, we did the silly breathing treatments and it was all right up her alley. She LOVES anything medical that gives her some extra attention. She would barely cough and then tell us that she needed a breathing treatment to help her breath. Oh Lord. It was a challenge when we told her we were doing the last treatment. We talked it up and made it sound so great that we didn't have to do them again. She was not happy about the news but eventually got over it. <br />

You are such a toddler and are into everything right now! I really can't keep you out of much. There is one thing you do that is hilarious/frustrating to me. Anytime I'm folding clothes in the living room, you will immediately dart for on of the nice folded piles and destroy it one piece at a time (really fast). I have gotten to where I guard all my stacks! I will have my feet on two piles and my hands on another. It really is funny. I think it's just a nice reminder to me to stop doing silly chores during the day and just goof off with you girls. Laundry will always be there, my little girls will not:( You both are growing before my eyes and I try to spend all my time playing. Every now and then I will sneak in a load of clothes. <br />

You are our big sleeper (and eater) and if you can, you will sleep till 8:30 in the morning! That is even with you going to bed at 7:30! Our mornings are hectic and loud so sometimes you can't help but wake up. So, cause you sometimes sleep a little later, it messes with the morning nap and pushes back the afternoon nap. I had to keep Addison in mind since y'all take afternoon naps at the same time. She is basically ready to hit the bed as soon as she comes home from school or therapy. Anyway, it has worked out great and you kinda start getting tired around 11:30. Usually you will snap out of it when Addison comes home and y'all goof around together. I have been able to get out more with you and it has been so nice! I no longer have to rush home to put you down after we drop Addison off at school! I was hesitant to do all of this cause I didn't take Addison's away until she was around 20 months. But I know every kid is different!<br />

I sometimes describe you like a monkey. The way you cling to me when you are on my hip is hilarious! You will wrap your arm up under mine and just hold on so tight. I love it! <br />
You also growl like a tiger everytime you see an animal. You believe every animal makes that noise! You just love Mike the tiger! It sounds more like a bobcat growl too!<br />
You have got the sweetest temperment and just LOVE all the time. You really love to push your sister's buttons! AND she gets sooo mad at you! You will watch her and see what she is playing with or loves the most at that moment and then you will sneak it away and run as fast as you can! This is usually the reason for most of the screaming/crying. I find it kinda funny though! You keep her on her toes that's for sure. You still love to dance and can find a beat in anything. You try to snap your fingers while we sing/dance. It's precious cause you do both hands at once and hold them up and get those little thumbs a movin'! <br />

You also take your milk very seriously. I never have to worry about your calcium intake. I remember having to count ounces when Addison went to whole milk in the cup. She just never would take enough and I was always worried about that! Funny how at the time that seemed like SUCH a big deal and it was just freaking me out. OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED! How in the world did I "worry" about those little things? I'm telling ya, 2011 really put things into perspective for me. Now I know when to pull out the worry card!<br />
You are just flying all over this house and getting faster by the day. I really can't believe you just started walking 2 months ago. You love to have conversations with me even though I don't know what you're saying. I will just nod my head and talk back to you. You really know what you wanna say! They sound like long mumbled sentences. Precious!<br />

Some of these might be out of order but I will just tell the stories. On Christmas Eve we stayed at our house (we have decided to do this for the girls so that they will be in their own house on Christmas morning). Matt and I attempted our first Gumbo- pretty brave to do that on Christmas Eve! I will say it was pretty darn good but we are excited to try again in the future. We also made Christmas cookies and had Laura, Clay and Lilly over to help. Addison just ate cookies for dinner as you can see. AND I let her. I'm just not that kind of parent that won't let their kid have sweets! She certainly doesn't do this often but I just love the joy in her eyes and know that you are only a kid once!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5uwDSJRus3GwKPecJVe4dLpRy5Txpo8mNJ8rJ7YoWanFzTni1Y50LQOx7-UlkbOPBURzgZrAG1SchGksK6xFbN-QQSWWj_KgPp0LRIdvb8KfoGcdX4cBdfCWggqUVnvYY375ehL8v4Q/s400/IMG_2857.JPG" width="400" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table>Ok, so the girls go to bed and we start working! This poor little jeep has been given to Addison SOOO many times only for us to realize she wasn't ready to drive! We have stored it at my parents house for a long time and we were excited to bring it home! Well, this was the year. She has loved it and gets better with every driving lesson. The wheel is a little stiff to steer but she is figuring it out. For the first few times I would be bent over steering for her while it sped off with Melody on my hip! That has worn me out! She has run over my foot twice and almost hit Melody so it is best to just carry her on the hip. I always wanted one of these cars as a kid and really kinda still do:) SOOO, I decided to hop on in! It was pretty rainy the few days after Christmas so we let her just drive it in the house. We would go a few feet then have to turn her around. This went on forever and she loved it!<br />

I cringed cause I knew it was breakable but she insisted on having it and it was 50% off (as is everything from Hobby Lobby). Sooo, off to the house we went with our new breakable Dora ornament. Within 30 minutes that sucker was in little pieces all over the kitchen floor. We avoided the meltdown by telling her to ask Santa for a soft Dora that doesn't break. So, she ran to the front window and looked out at our big blow up Santa and asked him just that. On Christmas morning she was so excited and kept saying that it was a "soft Dora that doesn't break." and sometimes she will say, "I want my soft Dora that doesn't break." She will even try to prove her point by throwing it up in the air and letting it hit the floor and will say, "Look! It didn't break!" So, Santa had put Dora in the jeep with a helmet on! <br />

We keep them in a closet and pull them out when Melody is ready for them. We would have just bought the same things! So, we dug everything out and found the coolest things that we knew she would love. She is sooo musical and we found neat radios and drum sets and stuffed animals. We also knew this would probably be the last year we could get away with this! Our biggest worry was if Addison would call us out on it since she has such a great memory. She never said a thing! It was so weird going through all those toys too cause they were things Addison played with when she was 17 months old. Just seems like yesterday. Even after all that, Santa didn't disappoint! He made sure Melody AND Addison had their very own NEW toys. He was so thoughtful. He wrapped all of Addison's gifts and left Melody's unwrapped since he knew she was too young to do it herself!<br />

We were pretty concerned leading up to it. She does best with just a few toys. When there are too many new things she gets really overwhelmed and easily frustrated. I would too! I wouldn't know where to start if I had all these cool things laying around the house. <br />

They sure do love it! But when we got home we had to take the stool away (Melody is a big time climber) and take the legs off. So for now, it's just flat on the floor and they sit right in front of it and play away.<br />

I didn't really know what to expect or how to feel cause I have never attended one of these before- obviously! I brought Melody and knew she would be just fine cause she loves music and other kids! I dressed the girls in matching Christmas dresses and Addison was completely in love with her "Fancy" socks. They were just the typical lacey dress up socks. BUT she thought they were cool cause they were just like Fancy Nancy's socks! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFW2WjODdI6ih6vnp7M9sk44RzleHQjrRBohOnpENQ1sEZS3Nma9DCcKvhVMan-_pN182ctgmPA5qi5X30L0D3IESVFgWxm_hyphenhyphenIEKcFNuuet35yIfgyCTRcUNJkwsIGQGvPAuXsqo37t8/s400/IMG_2637.JPG" width="400" /></div>Totsie and Papa joined in on the fun!

I figured after I dropped you off at class I would run to Starbucks to kill time. Well, after talking to Mrs. Blanchard, I realized I needed to rush to the Parish Hall before all the seats were taken! This preschool stuff is serious! These parents are NOT playing around! I don't know how long it will take me to get in the groove of this school thing but hopefully it will be soon. I walked in and was so surprised at all the parents already there. I "reserved" our seats and let Melody run around the room while Mom and I watched. I was waiting any second for someone to steal our seats! Here's the cute backdrop. <br />

I will try and explain! So, the sweet piano music starts to play and the doors swing open and these precious little preschoolers start walking through the door in a line. All the flashes are going off and every parent is smiling ear to ear. I had one of those uncontrollable moments where the floodgates opened when all of this was taking place. It was just a really sweet moment that got me all choked up. It wasn't about the "First Christmas Program" or how cute they all were that made me so emotional. It all became about how incredibly blessed we are to see our "precious miracle" as I've always called her, walk through those doors on her own, being able to attend a school this year (we registered her at school 2 months before the accident and didn't know if she would be able to attend until right before), and just how darn proud we are of our little fighter. She has fought like you wouldn't believe (even in my belly) and is one of the strongest and bravest little girls I know. I truly admire you!! <br />

I was really surprised at how long the program was. You all did VERY good standing up there for that long!<br />

You LOVE all animals- especially dogs!! This month you have really started to make your animal noises. I love this! Your tiger is THE BEST. It sounds more like a bob cat and it always makes everyone laugh! You really do it when you see a pic of Mike the Tiger! Certainly makes us proud! Your pig noise is also funny. Daddy didn't teach the typical, "Oink, Oink." No, he taught you the actual noise where it sounds like you are scratching the back of your throat! You are SO GOOD at this which is hilarious! You can do it WAY better than me! You love to pinch your nose and snort like a pig and then you pinch ours and make us snort. You really get a kick out of this.<br />

We use to just go through the drive thru and then head home to eat. Now, we like to make a outing out of it. We take y'all inside and watch the donuts floating through the grease and getting iced. It is huge entertainment! Here you are with Daddy in total amazement. I have to add that you insisted on wearing your dress up outfit on top of your normal clothes that morning! I LOVE IT!<br />

One day you insisted on getting your laptop and bringing it to bed with you. You told me where you wanted your pillows and everything. I thought for sure this wouldn't last- BUT you told me to turn your lamp on and shut the door. I kept checking on you every now and then and you were so content just working away on your laptop! Wow!<br />

You LOVE to have an audience and all eyes were definitely on you! You basically had your own concert that day and everyone sat around you while you played the piano and sang Happy Birthday to EVERYONE. We videotaped that sucker! <br />

Addison has one just like it and you INSIST that I put it one you all the time. You will walk up to me with it in your hands and just whine until I put it on. You walk away with the biggest smile! <br />

I had visions of Addison wanting to hold every ornament and not wanting them on the tree. BUT you did SO good and was such a great helper to Daddy. You studied each and every one and knew exactly where they were placed. When you went to bed I pulled out your ornament for this year (a pink glittery guitar) and placed it high up. Wouldn't you know that is the first one that caught your eye the next morning! I ended up having to take it off the tree cause you were having lots of tantrums over it and wanting to hold it( it is very breakable)! I told you Santa had to take it off when you weren't looking cause you weren't calming down. I couldn't stand to watch you break it cause it's a pretty sentimental ornament. Papa got you a pink guitar when I was about 16 weeks pregnant with you. You love to play that guitar now! Anyway, Melody's ornament for the year is a glittery music note. I thought it was very appropriate for her since she LOVES music and loves to sing and dance to any kind of beat!<br />
I was also worried if Melody would be pulling the tree or trying to take ornaments off. We haven't had any problems with that and I am sooo grateful! I dreaded putting a big, bulky gate around that tree!<br />

You walked up to me holding it out and whining. I thought, "Does she really want to put this on"? As soon as I did you were the happiest baby on the block! Now, it is a tad bit big on you and you do have your very own, but you wanted to wear sisters of course!<br />

Wow that was hard. Addison can walk just fine but I have to be there just in case when you climb things or step on things. You still need some support. That is hard when holding Melody! I had her in the Baby Bjorn and got many comments on how impressive it was to still carry her in that since she's so big! HA! I thought, "Oh believe me, this is sooo much easier than chasing after 2 little ones"! I did take you out so that you could swing- you LOVE to swing!<br />

Poor thing. You keep catching these silly colds that Addison brings home from school and yours ALWAYS turns into an ear infection. We go to the doctor at least once a week and you basically stay on antibiotics. Those of course try to cause diarrhea and we have learned that Activia yogurt really stops that. Well, this past time you got a MAJOR diaper rash that your doctor could not identify so we had to go to the dermatologist the same morning. ( We were in a doctors office for 4 hours straight that day!) We initially went for a recheck on your ears and they were clear but then I showed her your rash and then we had to head over to the dermo. You were amazing though. I let you empty my purse and wallet over and over and over! Anyway, turns out you had a yeast infection from the antibiotic so we had to do some prescription cream. I swear it is a vicious cycle! Cold, ear infection, antibiotic, diarrhea, yeast infection. And repeat. THEN a few days later you were pushing a grocery cart in the house and fell into one of our columns (which is padded at the bottom) and your mouth started bleeding like crazy. Mom saw it happen and I couldn't figure out where the bleed was coming from. One front tooth was a little loose but that was it. Then I saw some skin hanging over those teeth and realized it was the little skin that connects the lip to the gum. I figured I would let you nap and hoped it would stop bleeding. Well, you woke up and blood was everywhere in the bed and still all in your mouth. AND we're off to our first dentist appointment!!! They took us immediately because of the situation. They did xrays (Totsie held you) and you did amazing! Addison was with us and was very concerned about you. She recognizes the dentist and I had to assure her we were not there for her! I also had to talk her through it because when Melody was screaming through the exam, Addison could have easily lost it too! I just let you know everything they were doing and that Melody was not being hurt. The dentist said that you just cut the skin and that they weren't going to have to cut it themselves. That was a relief. She said it should clot on its own but takes awhile. The xrays looked fine and we think one of your front teeth slightly shifted. We get to to back in 3 weeks for a recheck and hopefully the tooth won't be turning black anytime soon. This is so weird to me cause Addison's first dentist visit was when she fell and broke her front two teeth. We did the xrays and everything. AND if you have seen how baby proofed and padded our house has become since Addison's injury, it really amazes me that they could still find a way to get hurt! All in all you went to the pediatrician, dermatologist (twice) and dentist in one week! That was a hard week.<br />

You LOVE to cuddle right before naps and bedtime. After you finish your milk, you will flip over on me to your belly and lay your head down and we just rock and I sing the lullaby song to you. You just smile and are so content. I will stop on purpose just to see you whine and ask me to do it again. As soon as I start up you start laughing. You still smell delicious. I told your Daddy you smell like a nice bowl of cream of wheat with lots of butter and sugar. Seriously you do! <br />

Melody has picked it up and does it all the time too! She watches every little move you make!<br />
Addison is saying the funniest things right now. Here are a few:<br />
On the way to therapy this morning riding in Matt's car- "Daddy, if your good maybe Santa will bring you a TV for your car!" She is always fascinated that he doesn't have a TV in his car but Mommy does!<br />
When I'm driving- "Mommy, slow down! Be careful when Addison's in the car. Your not listening, Mommy!" Now, in my defense I am never going fast. I just think I have a little safety girl on my hands!<br />
One Saturday morning she comes into our room- "Mommy, I'm talking to you! Wake up! Where is my Dora nightgown!"<br />
One day Matt and I went together to pick you up from therapy. We watched you for a few minutes before you realized we were standing there. As soon as you saw us you said "Mommy AND Daddy! This is the BEST DAY EVER!" You apparently LOVED us picking you up together!<br />
You have always been knowledgeable about your medicines and know the names and reasons you take them- the other day you came to me and said "Mommy, I have a bad, bad cold. I need a decongestant.<br />
You like to act like a baby some times and will go get a bottle and pretend you are crying and ask me to feed it to you. So I scooped you up and started rocking you and giving you the pretend bottle. I then started telling you stories about when you were a baby. You quickly interrupted me and said "Mommy, don't tell me a story, just feed me." Seriously, when did you get so big??? <br />

First it looks a whole lot like a little Laura and second it really shocks me by how old you look. I just don't understand how fast time goes.

I stopped the day you turned 15 months. I figured I needed to pick a big day like that or else I would never stop! It worked out perfect and you have been just fine ever since. You were just a picture perfect nurser and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I remember about 1 week before you were born telling your Daddy I don't think I will be able to do it for long because we already had a toddler in the house and I was sooo busy. Well, things worked out and there were many times when you were on the boob and Addison was sitting in my lap watching the whole thing. I really think nursing helped me get through this hard year. I didn't say it got me through it, I just said it helped. Through all the million tears I shed over Addison, and the fear and anxiety that I had, it just helped to have to sit down and hold you and nurse you many times a day. It helped to know that I have to take care of myself in order for my other baby to thrive. That forced me to eat the next meal even though I couldn't imagine putting anything in my body. <br />

I think it's silly to only pull them out on Christmas morning for the first time. Sooo we like to wear ours starting early December and throughout the whole year! I like to get my money's worth:) I was trying to get the cute PJ picture in front of the tree and it is just down right humorous. When will it get easier? All it does it put everyone in a cranky mood! The first one is Melody running from Addison. That is usually the case these days. She will see something Addison is playing with and steal it real fast then take off. It's pretty funny to watch and is definitely good therapy for Addison! She will be running in no time! Sometimes if Addison sees that Melody is about to take something that Addison really likes, she will hand her something way less interesting and say, "Here you go sweetie pie. You play with this." It's usually like a foam letter or cardboard picture or something awesome like that:) Something really funny is that you will sometimes call her "Peter peter." It will go like this, "Sweetie pie, Peter Peter." And you will get really close to her and snuggle up in her face when you say this. Hilarious!<br />

You turned 14 months 10 days ago. The biggest change over the last week is that you have become a WALKER! Wooo hooo! You are pretty much walking more than crawling. You are sooo proud of yourself and can tell that you are doing something pretty big! Everything has taken off so fast since your first step. Addison started walking at 16 months and it took awhile for her to consistently do it after her first step. So I am pretty shocked at how fast you have caught on to all of this! I know pretty soon you girls are going to be chasing each other all over this house! You have really been standing up to Addison and it's pretty funny to watch. I think it's good for her. You will put up a MAJOR fight when she tries to steal anything out of your hands. I'm glad to see you aren't being a pushover! I think it's important to share and I believe Addison has been learning some important lessons lately:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Right now you have 5 1/2 teeth. You have the bottom 2 and 3 1/2 straight across the top. I feel like you're getting a new tooth every week! I really can't believe how fast they are coming in. Over the last month you have become super possessive of me. It's been kinda hard and I'm sure it's just a phase. You will completely freak out when I start talking to Addison, change her, hug her or anything really to do with her. You will scream at the top of your lungs and make a beeline for me immediately. You will just tug on me until I stop what I'm doing and pick you up. You also want me to sit with you or hold you constantly. If I walk away to do anything you get sooo upset. AND you don't want anyone else to hold you. We have been using the baby bijorn ALOT this past month. I can say all of this but deep down I LOVE how much you love me!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of your all time favorite shows is The Backyardigans. I'm pretty sure you love the show because of the theme song at the beginning and the end. You get the biggest smile on your face when they sing the song and you immediately start wiggling side to side. You still love to dance! Tonight was the first time I saw you dancing while standing! I have to admit it was a pretty awesome sight! I can't remember if I've said this before- but when I sing a song you will join in and imitate what I'm singing and it is pretty right on tune! It is hilarious! You are VERY musical! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some things you really don't like are the vacuum cleaner and the mixer. Oh wow, you just get hysterical when I turn one of those on. I even have to warn Addison that you are about to start crying really bad cause if I don't warn her she will get sooo upset and worried about you that she will get hysterical and then it becomes a really viscious cycle! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been trying to read to you more and more. I have so much guilt about this cause I began to read to Addison from the moment she was born. Now that things are busier I just have a hard time finding the time to sit with you and just read. I don't think you are as interested in books as Addison is but I will keep on trying!! Your favorite book is called Baby Faces. It's just a picture of a baby on each page making a face and there is a one word description on each page. When we get to the "yum yum" page you always say it and smack your lips. You will hand me this book over and over even if we have read it 5 times already! Atleast it's a book!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwG2TQM-DNS3vrvDOMI-KNMlLBJnMZz7lgYpODx5AB1w52B1VsKIaSifRVV_nqC-4lbJUoK5WwRPKn9APyM5fgCo0Fpc6igOztogXUm_qirn9zlxq3bibvjmAQvuhw66UzR4MDT7KKjC-d/s400/IMG_2546.jpg" width="266" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Addison started IMOT three weeks ago! The program is 5 days a week 4 hours a day and for 3 weeks. She finished the program yesterday and will get to continue doing IMOT 3 days a week until the end of the year. We are so grateful for insurance!!! So, when you started IMOT we made the decision to temporarily take you out of school during all of this. The main reason was to keep you as healthy as possible so that you wouldn't miss many sessions. You were staying sick with school and we know that school is not the priority right now. IMOT stands for Intensive Model of Therapy. It is a very specialized program where they put this neuro suit on you and you wear it for one hour out of the four that you are there. The purpose of the suit is to align the body in the proper position and to retrain the brain. The suit has all these bungee cords everywhere and everytime you take a step or move any part of your body you are moving against the resistance of the bands. This program is known for helping kids make huge gains and break through plateus. It is exhausting for kids but you were amazing and powered through it all. I had to send tons of snacks and drinks for you and when you would get home you would typically sleep from 2-5:15. AND I would have to wake you up at 5:15! The first week it was pretty hard for you but your therapists said your endurance improved so much every single day! Yesterday they held this "graduation ceremony" where they got us all lunch and we got to eat up there with you and all your therapists. They presented you with a trophy, certificate and a Disney princess kit. You LOVED your present and totally enjoyed all the attention! You have such a BOLD personality! We all talked about your progress and they said you made sooo many gains and were sooo impressed by you! They are obviously trained to see things that we don't but they named so many things about balance, coordination and core that drastically improved. We were sooo very proud of you! It is amazing to me that even after the first week they could tell a difference! I think you are pretty worn out and we have decided to let you take a whole week off of therapy this week. It is the week of Thanksgiving and you won't have school either so it will be good for you to just recover and play! You do miss school and have been begging to go so much! There were lots of mornings where you would just fight me on getting dressed to go to therapy. We finally realized that you are just TIRED and know that therapy is really hard work and would rather go to school where you can color and sing! </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Another big milestone is that you were able to stop taking Keppra! That was the seizure medicine that you have been on since the accident. You never had a seizure thank the Lord but it was just for precaution. We are sooo grateful to get rid of this medicine for good and now only have to do the Baclofen for your muscles. Your calf muscles are tight which causes you to tip toe when you walk. Therefore we have to give you the muscle meds to help pull your heels down a bit. The braces also help with this. Therapy has helped over time and hopefully they will fully drop one day. <br />

She loves Mr. Bill and is always checking out the scene to see what's going on that day. She just loves being outside and we have tried to take advantage of this nice weather before it gets too cold!<br />

We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge again and Addison had a BLAST. Her memory is sooo good and I have honestly never seen a bigger smile on her face when we walked into the water park. She knew where everything was and knew that it was gonna be an awesome day! It wasn't so awesome when we had to leave though. MEGA MELTDOWN. and we got some big time stares from every single person there! Oh well! Totsie kept Melody while we were in Dallas which was pretty much necessary. We were so busy with appointments and making sure we were on time to every little thing! <br />

</tbody></table>When we got to Baylor we went to check out your favorite fish tank. We have made it a point to visit all your favorite spots everytime we go back. I think it's pretty special to do cause every single time we come back you have improved sooo much! During the 6 week hospital stay, we would visit these fish and each were given names by you and were treated like your very own pets. Here you are pointing to each one and saying what their name was. What a good memory!<br />

We LOVE her! You weren't sick but you insisted on wearing this mask and at times the gloves! You know her very well and talk her head off. You walk around those halls like you own them and they just get the biggest kick out of you! It's sometimes hard for us to recognize alot of progress cause we are with you everyday. We were wondering what she would think and were so very excited to hear what she had to say. She was amazed at your progress over the last 3 months and just described all the areas that you had improved-( we are talking about walking). She takes a video of you walking down the hall each time so that she can compare at the next appointment. We see her every 3 months. When we finished we of course walked down the hall where your old room was. We said "hi" to some nurses we recognized and I over heard some new ones whispering and saying, "She was a patient here"? I glanced over without them noticing and their expressions were priceless. They looked as if they couldn't believe you were ever there! You could tell they were shocked that it was only 7 months ago. Dr. Raji still says that your progress is very speedy and we are so thankful for that. She says because of that they believe your recovery will be wonderful! <br />

We love to see you on this equipment each time we come. It is amazing to us cause we have vivid memories of you not even being able to walk out there. Now you are walking, climbing, sliding- pretty incredible stuff! You can see Addison climbing up the stairs at the bottom left. I also love this pic cause it shows the Dallas sky line. All of my favorite buildings right there:)<br />

We walked pass the therapy room and you insisted on us going inside. We walked in and said hey to everyone we knew and you just owned that room. I even have a video of it. You walked all over looking at specific things and you could tell it was as if you remembered everything from a dream. You would pause and stare at something and think real hard and move on. Then you went to the corner and stared for a second and yelled, "Where did the treadmill go"? They all cracked up laughing! You were right. That was the exact spot they kept the treadmill. That was the place you stood on your feet for the very first time. Wow.<br />

They strongly encourage 1 parent to attend these types of things and I was more than happy to do it! Truthfully it helped calm me down since I would be able to monitor everything she ate or wanted to eat. Her school has been amazing with her allergy.....it won't be long before they declare it a "peanut free" school. They have been great clearing everything with us before they do anything like this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, back to the party.....I decided to dress up as my typical pumpkin cause they encouraged parents to do so. I thought, "I really don't want to do this cause what if I'm the only one who does? Or worse, what if I'm the only one that doesn't"? I decided I would rather be the only one that did and at the end of the day it was really about making Addison happy. She LOVED my costume and thought it was super cool:) By the way, I was the only mom dressed up. Addison went as a ladybug. She wore the very same costume last year but we had no problem repeating it cause she obviously didn't remember! She also really enjoyed it this year! She insisted on wearing her hat and last year she wanted nothing to do with it! We also weren't sure about trick or treating cause of the allergy and too many risks associated with that so we thought it might be silly to get a new costume for nothing! I know this will be the last time we can get away with something like this!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

So, this is the setup they had made for the cute individual picture. They will take these pics and put them on a fall craft that you did at the festival. Anyway, your turn was up and Mrs. Rose was doing everything she knew to do to get a tiny smile out of you. I watched in amazement at the teenage face you were giving her. So THIS will be the pic they will attach to your craft!<br />

Well look at that! A big ole smile for momma! I tried with Mrs. Rose but you wouldn't do a thing until she walked away! I had to laugh and I might have to replace their picture with ours! AND if you look close enough you can see the oreo mouth! I believe you had just finished your second helping. <br />

I believe y'all were doing the "Hokey Pokey." Wow, you LOVE doing that song! Oh, and that's Henry in the black. You've had a little thing for him since day 1.

This was just poking pipe cleaners into little holes in the pumpkins. I was just sweating with fear cause this type of thing will set you off in a tantrum in no time. I kept looking at the number of holes verses the number of pipe cleaners. You were gonna have about 8 left over and I knew it would send you into a tailspin! I had to explain that there were no more holes left and that we could give the extra back to Mrs. Blanchard. After much convincing you quickly gathered them up, walked over to her while she was in mid conversation and started stuffing them in her hands. She quickly caught on to what you were doing and just laughed. You are such a little helper!<br />

</tbody></table>Now it has pretty much been decided that Melody will always get Addison's hand-me-down costumes until she really knows what's going on! This year she was a flower. I LOVED this costume on Addison and I was so excited that Melody would also get to wear it. By the way, have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE having girls??! <br />
So, this was Halloween night and we decided to just get the girls dressed and sit on the front porch to hand out candy. Our neighborhood is wild during these things and it is just fun to people watch. After awhile we decided to go to Bill and Charlotte's and say hi to them. Addison of course couldn't have the candy but she didn't even care! We had her a nice little stash that she carried at all times. She has found a new love of Sour Skittles. <br />
