6 Months Old

Okay how can she be half a year old! Time doth swiftly fly right by when there's kids at home. Yeah I know I'll be struck by lightening the next time it rains for making up words to church songs, but man she is growing up WAY too fast. I do think it gets faster with each child, I think you miss some of it because your soooo busy with the other siblings. I managed to take this mini photo shoot of her this afternoon crammed in-between all the kid's other activities & while talking on the phone. They are by no means professional & I only took 96 of them (I love digital) but I loved the way they turned out.

This is how she feels about photo shoots, but I ♥ this picture...

ANYWAY here are her stats as she went to the pediatrician today for shots and her bi-monthly lube and filter, 15lbs 14oz's & 26 inches long. She's doing great although she is still sick and Doc told me that she is pretty much allergic to Amoxicillin hence her Rash-O-Rama last week, but other than that she's fine and dandy. Well, tell that to her tender little "shot" thighs. Phew I almost missed posting this today. At least I made it on her 6 month day. See I am getting better. Okay my 15 pound duty is crying my name. Later.

Way To Go Maria!

Congrats go to my friend Maria who won the coveted Bloom Quilt. I am beginning to think that your half Irish as your lucky winning streak is at an all time high. I must be doing something wrong as all my friends around me are winning stuff. First Bridget, then Maria then Melissa, and now Maria again. Hey girls I think this would be a great time to take up gambling. How do you feel about an impromptu trip to Vegas? :)

My Little Man

I just love this little boy, he is genuinely just a good boy! And he has a sense of humor that rival's his goofy older brothers. He never gets into any of my stuff and the couple times that he has I just tell him no and he never touches it again. He's a boy that loves to play in dirt and get as dirty as he possibly can. And EVERY TIME I take a picture of him he tries to do as many goofy faces as he can, then he has to see the preview of it before I can take another. He's got a super sweet side that he doesn't show to just anybody & man this boy loves to sing! He falls asleep in his chair while in Sunbeams at church at least a couple times a month. He's just my Corbin.... Did I mention that I love this little man!

She's A 2-Wheeling Woman

So Brinley learned how to ride on 2 wheels without any help from us parental units. Jentry took off her training wheels a couple weeks ago and Parker helped push her off & she hasn't looked back since. We were both surprised to see her riding without training wheels because she really has never been much of a bike rider. Even last year she didn't log that much time on a bike. But she's been riding like this for about a week and a half now. I figured I had better post it before I forget. She's pretty proud of herself, & I think it's time to buy her a pink bike that belongs to just her.

La' Chenille Bib

And here is a bib that I threw together a couple nights ago. I still need to attach some Velcro but that's no biggie. It turned out alright for not having used a pattern, it could be cuter (it certainly was in my head) but it came out more plain than I anticipated . Maybe with more practice I will get better.

Alrighty...

So we are just going to wait and see how she does over the weekend. We never did go to the Pediatrician. But they said if she seems worse by Monday to bring her in (well duh) I never did get a real answer, so this is the best that I've got. She does have her lovely cough back again, and she is also sounding congested.

I think I have a defective baby.

My Baby Is Broken!

EDITED: Okay so it's not only when she cries, she just woke up from her nap HAPPY and was just talking to herself and she's got RED all over her face.. Off I go to call her pediatrician. 2nd EDIT: OKAY I AM SUCH A DORK!!! This is my official BAD MOMMY MOMENT, Addison is on Amoxicillin (yes i forget to mention) and maybe she is having an allergic reaction to the RX. Sorry about not mentioning details like that. I had NO sleep last night and I think it's starting to show. Well, there's the nurse ringing my phone gotta go.

This RED THING started yesterday afternoon and it only happens to her when she cries. At first I thought it was the detergent in my shirt or maybe on her blanket. Nope! She was crying on the floor and when I went to get her, her face was covered in red and on the red parts there are little raised bumps that are kinda white. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! It goes away after 45 minutes or so but then re-appears when she cries. Oh and it is only on her face and head. Different spots every time and the red is more red than the pictures are showing. I am so confused! Has anyone out there had this happen to their little one??? Inquiring minds want to know. She's kinda freaking me out! Side note: She has only had breast milk or formula.....
EDIT #2 It's official Addison is Allergic to Amoxicillin!

Parker and My Pickles & Ice Cream Quilt Top

Just thought I would post Parker's Baptism announcements. I figured since I sent them out earlier this week I could post it on my blog. He's pretty excited and so are we.

And TA DA! I finished the Pickles & Ice Cream quilt top, now I need to sandwich it all together and bind it. I think it turned out really cute. I think I love it, I just didn't love all the squares. Let's just say I will never do this pattern again. But I loved the end result. It's not perfect but I don't think Addison will mind.

Another Year & None The Wiser

Today is just a reminder that I am yet another year older, and as my title say's none the wiser. A couple of my kids are just peachy today, I wish they weren't so crabby. I need to be spring cleaning, but have no desire to do ANYTHING. Today I just feel blah! Well off I go to force myself to clean the toilet. Wish me luck.
