Baby Einstein rocks my world...and Addison's too!

My oldest child, Shayna was always content to be still and watch a video from a very early age. It didn't even have to be a kid movie...any TV show or movie would do really. Addison however, has been completely the opposite from day one. She was the baby who rolls over both ways before she should have even been going one way. She is the baby that you can't get a picture of without chasing her around with the camera - and then 90% of them are of her head as she climbs on you trying to chase the camera.

Today however, I saw a change. A small change, but one that was a very big milestone in my eyes! She SAT STILL...and she wasn't restrained or screaming! haha. I usually put her in the exersaucer upstairs when I want her to watch a video - that way she will be still long enough to notice that it is on and enjoy it. Today I just put one on and left her to mill about thinking it would tire her out and help her get ready for nap time.

I sat down to check my email real quick and thought she seemed awfully quiet. So I look behind me and what do I see? I see my rambunctious child who NEVER sits still doing THIS ----


She was just sitting there...just like that for about 20 minutes. Not moving a muscle. I still can barely believe it. I do believe that Baby Einstein might be my new best friend! haha...

Addison, as it turns out, has a great imagination (either that or there is some television show or movie that she has watched recently that I have no idea about). Beginning last Friday we potty trained Addison (hallelujah for fast learners). She has done SO well and caught on in only a day! The funniest part of the whole thing though is how Addison has made up this whole scenario to help her with the pooping thing. I think it was either Sunday or Monday night that she was sitting on the potty going poop, and I was gathering the clothes for her to get dressed for bed. She started hollering, "Mom, Mom! There is a dinosaur!" "A dinosaur?" I replied enthusiastically! "Wow! Where is the dinosaur?" "It's in the potty! Look!!! Look!!" So I looked, and right as I was looking she looked too and then looked at me and said, "Well, actually it's a lizard." It was very matter of fact, and very Addisonesque with the sideways cock of...

Fall visit to Aroboretum

Addison and I had a great visit to the Arboretum with Ashely and her kids Grayson and Presley. I think we did more picture taking than we did playing this time...but it was a fun day and the weather was beautiful! I am looking forward to going again soon!
