Eat Child!

Part of her strawberries from breakfast ended up on her nose...Addie is still cutting those same 4 stinking teeth... 2 have broken through and the other 2 are still trying. The pain from it makes Addie a very picky eater, so I have done everything trying to get her to eat. One thing she loves is fresh fruit and veggies. I have tried to trick her with canned stuff and she just pushes it away. So I have bought strawberries, clementines, cherries, carrots, bananas, etc, just trying to get her to eat. The doctor has me giving her an old allergy medicine that has the side effect of making you hungry to try to get her to eat more and I am noticing some improvement.


I gave Addie a clementine then went to cleaning the kitchen, I turned around and she had grabbed another one out of the bowl on the table, peeled it, and was busy eating it... I thought "oh I must have left the peel on the table and that's the same one", but looked in the trash and sure enough, there was the peel to the one I had gotten her and she had managed to peel one herself.This child is such a little stinker! After going to the doctor and spending well over $100 on the Dr visit and prescription, just because she isn't eating, I stopped by and got pizza and fruits on the way home and she ate almost a whole slice of pizza and a whole banana. ARGH! Since then she still picks at her food, and only chows down on her favorite things... picky little booger!
She's gotten much faster with her walking and now asks constantly "where daddy?" "where bob?" "where doggy?". She loves to dance and does the silliest things.

This is her newest silly face Daddy must have shown herYesterday during RS we sang a weird song for the practice hymn. Addie apparently didn't like it and she covered both of her ears. Apparently that wasn't enough so she then stuck a finger in each ear. I sit on the front row, so my mom and aunt (who are in the RS presidency and fit opposite of me) started laughing, and by the time the song was over, half of the women there had noticed Addie's silliness and were also laughing.

What am I going to do with my little Addie?

Oh Addie, What are we going to do with her. When I looked over at her at church and she was sitting their with her ears covered and than stuck a finger in each ear I couldn't help but laugh. She has so much personality, that little baby of yalls. :)

First of all...your collages are fantastic! I am so jealous of all this picture talent cropping up all over the place.

And...she is SO not a picky eater. She may seem that way to you now based on the past, but her food variety is AMAZING! MY son is picky. He lives off of goldfish and pretzels. Seriously. It's bad. So I think Addie is the perfect little eater. I'm jealous of that too, I guess. :)

It is totally the age too she is at--like I'm a seasoned mother or something. But Mark has been INCREDIBLY picky starting about a month ago. It can be so frustrating!I find myself saying the same thing, "Eat child! Eat!" : )
