Getting New Teeth is no fun for the whole family

Poor Addie, is all I can say! It must be so painful to be getting 4 molars in at once! Plus a few more are on their way out. Addie wakes up through the night, and roams around our bed trying to get back to sleep through the pain. During the day I let her chomp on apples that I have peeled and this seems to give a lot of relief for her. I do give her motrin if it seems unbearable for her. Last night she was in an awful state, and unfortunately, we were hosting my cousin's birthday party. I felt real bad for everyone having to listen to her screams, but mostly I just felt so sorry for my little girl. I have heard that redheads can not tolerate as much pain as other people.....seems true for me!

We went to story time at the library, and she was grumpy with the other children when they tried to steal her toy- she especially doesn't put up with this when in discomfort! Normally when children she doesn't know take her things she just looks confused and slightly irritated. Today she would scream NO at the top of her lungs! A bit funny really.

Well, sorry no pics of story time but I was doing my best to keep it all together!

At the Zoo

For some reason I think this is the funniest outfit combination! Pink hat with green/brown stripes! Addie is at such a FUN age! Her vocabulary is amazing me, with new words by the day. She sure has a mind of her own, and likes to express it now as much as she can!

We purchased a zoo pass, and now that the weather is getting better, I am sure we will become a regular and soon she will know a few more animal words.

After the zoo, we came home and I had this overwhelming urge to clean our horrific shed and paint it with some of the free paint we were given......Addie of course had her share of fun with the paint! I wish I had someone video taping it, or even photograph it, because it was actually one of the funniest and most annoying thing ever to try and paint with a one year old. At one point she had her hands fully submerged into the paint bucket and was on her way to put her hands in her mouth.....Soon after we took a long shower and bath! It was quite funny really. Well, my post is done now due to a pesky baby pinching me in the belly
