Attack of the Monster Emme

By Kerry -
Sometimes we call Addison our little monster. We mean it in the most endearing way, you know, sort of how Cookie Monster and Elmo are monsters? But for the past few days, our sweet, kind, sensitive, and easy-going Emme has turned into a monster. She has been eating more than I can giver her and my freezer isn't nearly as stocked with Emme food as it used to be. Andy and I keep thinking that she is so upset because she is hungry. Goodness knows she weighs almost 15 pounds at 4 1/2 months old. We're starting to think we might give her some mashed bananas for Thanksgiving dinner. We were going to wait until six months and Christmas dinner, but she's giving all the signs that she is ready now. Addison had her first solids at 5 months as well. We'll keep you posted. Until then, just know that this is the face we've been seeing a lot!!!




On a funny note, Addison only wants to watch Elmo Potty... over and over again she'll ask for Elmo Potty!!! You see, Daddy thought it would be a great idea to buy the Elmo Potty DVD in hopes that she would want to go to the bathroom like Elmo (Daddy is pretty much done with diapers). Unfortunately, it's aaallllllll Addison wants to watch, but she has no desire to actually go to the potty herself.

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
