A Boo Boo Update

Update:

Addie is recovering well.  the doctor visit was yesterday and Doctor Gordon said that the top part is ready to get some air but the bottom part needs about two more days to have the prescription sauv on it before starting to air out.  She is still doing wonderful and you would never know she burnt herself other than she looks like a boxing champ.  We see the doctor again on Thursday and will re-evaluate then.  Addie can leave the dressing off for an hour to start with on Monday.  More update soon to come.  Love yall and thank you for your support.  It has been tuff!

Addie has a boo boo

I take full responsibility for it.  Addie and I were in the bathroom and she pulled my hair straightener off the counter by the cord and it fell on her.  It was on and really hot.  I can never forgive myself.  she is fine as you can see.  But, second degree burns from her right hand knuckles to almost her elbow and on the underside from her wrist to almost her elbow.  Jared and I are changing her dressings twice a day and we see the doctor tomorrow.  More update soon to come.  It is hard to get a good picture of it because is so mobile now.  I'm sorry, please forgive me and I will update you soon.

This evening

this evening we started off frantic to get a couple of things done and quickly realized that things will take care of themselves and just enjoyed being a family.  here are some sweet videos of our family time tonight.  Addie is learning to kiss....not really but she opens her mouth and runs into your face.  We like to go outside in our yard and sit on a blanket about seven o'clock and the heat isn't beating down on us.  Our grass is coming in nice and green thanks to Jared and the good Lord.  Jared has been working really hard on our yard.  Addie and I have been spending our days together but recently she has developed a habit of following me into other rooms and wining if she can't see me or be near me.  I don't enjoy that but she is teething right now.  It is such a joy to see her change day to day.  I never realized how hard it is to be a stay at home mom.  I love it and her every day. Oh, and this morning she found a june bug on my kitchen floor and took a bite out of it.  She got quiet and when i looked around she was chewing on something.  Quickly after the finger sweep I had a drenched june bug in my hand covered in slobber.  Addie looked at me like Mom, what's your deal?  anywho, enjoy and we will visit again soon.

Swimming at the Rodriguez's

Addie loves several things. Two of them being swimming and guacamole!  She, Jared and I went swimming with our friends mike and kate and grilled for dinner.  Addie is discovering how to crawl through the water....being supervised of course.  She likes to play with their puppy dogs Shelby and Brazos.  Addie is quickly learning the words "no".  I hate to say it so loud some times but the only way she will stop what she is doing is for me to almost shout it and then she turns to me and I say no maam.  Thankfully so far that is all it has taken for her to stop what she is doing and then be redirected.  We will see how well that works when she starts walking.  Here are a few pictures from this evening.  More to come in a day or so.

Swimming at the Beek's

We just love swimming at the Beek's.  Here are a few pictures from our morning.

Fourth of July

Well this weekend was great.  We had a fun time visiting with my mom and then traveled to Livingston, with no speeding tickets, and enjoyed ourselves there.  We, Addie, was a little fussy because of teething but pretty enjoyable.  She watched a little of the fireworks but enjoyed the puppy dogs more.  Nana and Pop Pop took Addie for several walks in her stroller.  She loves that.  Here are a few pictures from swimming under the shade tree in the front yard.  We also enjoyed ourselves on the back porch this morning in the cool breeze.  Such a pretty weekend.  We sure enjoyed ourselves and feel truly blessed to have such a great group of family members.  More pictures to come and hopefully some videos too.
