Well, it is official...I feel drained whenever I think about blogging:-( I think because the last blog that I did where I posted pictures took so long to do, that I am drained just thinking about posting pictures again:-( Anyway, it is sad because I have a ton of pictures of the baby, but haven't downloaded them yet. Soon, I promise (to all the family that has been asking me to).
So a quick update cause that is all I have the energy to do right now.....Addison had her 8 week appointment today and she is 23 1/4 inches long and 11#12oz. Both 75th%. Completely opposite of little mag pie, aka our midget; who btw has never broken her 10th% ever:-) She sleeps 8-8 1/2 hours a night (totally a dream baby), takes several naps a day 2 of them lasting a couple of hours and the afternoon one lasting 3-4 (again...dream baby) She is yummy and I often find the younger girls eating her. I am thinking they have seen me "eating her" saying how yummy she is and they do the same. It is the cutest thing to walk in on. Addison LOVES it! She is cooing a lot and smiling even more!
WE are all so in love with our cute little addition. I truly feel so blessed to have all of these wonderful daughters surrounding me and helping me become a better person ever day. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely days that are aaaaa, how do I say this nicely, forget it, crappy, when there are constant messes, but at the end it is all worth it:-)
Anna has started to babysit...she is only ten, but had been asking me a lot to be able to babysit. I was ten when I started, and so we felt it was okay. She has really grown up A LOT this summer. Really stepping it up being a BIG sister/helper. i.e.: I came home today from taking Addison to her appointment and Anna was cleaning the floors with the Shark mop......AWESOME!!!!! I love that she is seeing how wonderful it is to help with out being asked. She has been doing a lot of this random helping and I am totally grateful to her for that. I think it helps that my wonderful husband at dinner every night will ask the girls what they have done to help me that day.
Anyway, she is not the only one doing random acts of cleaning. Miss Megan is right up there with her big sister......emptying the dishwasher and sweeping. SERIOUSLY people I don't think you all understand what a miracle this all is.......my kids doing things with out being asked, I'm not repeating myself a million times to clean this up or that...I LOVE this summer:-) (even if it is 158 degrees outside)
All said and done, I feel truly blessed to have the little family that God has given me:-)
