Sorry for the sideways pictures, I will figure out how to fix that, I just don't have the patience right now.

A snapshot of my day: I almost didn't get up on time, I apparently hit the snooze one too many times and hit the limit, so my alarm stopped going off! Avery and I got a little extra snuggle time this morning! Addyson was not excited at all about wearing underwear today, but with the threat of no ipad, she happily put on her underwear. She only had one little accident today at the sitters, and none here at home. I am so proud of her! She is such a good toddler. I cannot believe she will be 3 in a little more than a month, time has gone by so quickly. She had her first nightmare last night, I was so scared! She screamed at the top of her lungs and was just hysterical. I ran so fast up to her room only to find her sobbing and shaking. I felt so badly for her. I immediately grabbed her out of her crib and wrapped her up in a blanket and smothered her in kisses. She eventually calmed down enough to tell me what was wrong, and she said, "Mommy, monsters are coming!". My heart just melted, I wanted to make her feel safe and take all her fear away! I am hoping for no bad dreams tonight! Maybe no more chinese food for her?haha

Avery did not sleep well last night, which was part of the reason for no post last night. She was up every hour and then some. I wish those teeth would come out already! It's strange to me that she's 8 months old and still has no teeth. Not that I am rushing things, I just know those teeth are on the verge of coming through the surface, and it would make my life a little easier (at least for 1 night) if they would just get it over with already! She had beef stew for dinner last night! I'm getting a little braver with her meals, and she loved every last bite of it! Now I just have to figure out how to move her to the next stage of food. I'm more afraid of whole foods than I should be, I'm just so scared she will choke! She's such a bubbly little baby! I see her face and it just makes me smile! She has just discovered her tongue in the past few days and has started to make all sorts of funny noises, but especially she likes to just say, "la, la, la". It's adorable! She ate a cherry/strawberry oatmeal for her dinner tonight, and she ate every ounce!!!

Addyson danced her little heart out tonight. I'm thinking I may be sick of the Polar Express soon, we have to rock out to the sound track all the time! She loves all the songs and has a very specific dance move for each of the songs-see the action shot above ^^^^^ I really need to get that girl into some dance classes-she loves her tute!(a.k.a.-her tutu!haha)

Off to "enjoy" a fish taco...I'm not so sure about that one, but I'll try it. I'm willing to eat almost anything if Josh is going to cook it!
