1st Dentist Trip

One more firsts off the list…first trip to the dentist.  It was everything I imagined and more. terrible.   16 months is too early to go to the dentist.

We took Addie to the dentist a week after a nasty spill on the tile floor that caused her to bleed profusely for hours.  Thankfully there was no damage done to her teeth.  As a precautionary measure we decided to take her to the dentist just in case.  

There was a brief attempt at x-rays and an exam that was just looking at her teeth without instruments.  It took 3 of us to hold her down.  Addie was frustrated, crying, and sweaty, I was frustrated and sweaty and on the verge of crying.  After an hour an half later we were cleared to go home with a healthy mouth.  Thank goodness….see ya in 2 years.

Watermelons

It’s officially watermelon season at the Seal farm.  We are knee deep in watermelons, squash, peaches, pears and cantaloupes.  We can’t eat it all fast enough and we are loving all of the fresh fruit. 

One of our favorite things to do is to take Addie outside, strip her down, turn on the sprinkler and let her just eat directly out of the watermelon.  We are just one big sticky mess but I love it.

    

I love that one…you see your tongue hanging out before she takes a bite.

Just a little this and that

There is nothing new and exciting going on in the Seal house hold.  Little Miss Independent  is all about exploring, talking and gaining more and more independence. 

Little Miss A is all about helping.  She likes to help take out the trash, closing doors, putting things away.  She claps for herself every time she is done being such a big helper. 

Don’t feed me, I will feed myself.  Little Independence is all about feeding her self, she gets her bucket ‘o yogurt in the morning and goes to town with her spoon and is a crazy mess in 2 minutes.

Showing love.  Addie is more about hugs and kisses.  A few sloppy kisses at that.  She is being more cuddly and I am not complaining for a second.  I love coming home and seeing her run with her arms open wanting a big hug.  There is no better feeling when I walk in the door. 

Love this girl.

Mmmm…mmmm….milkshake

Addie LOVES any and every kind of food you are eating.  There is almost no point to ordering a plate for her because all she wants is what you have.  Yesterday she enjoyed a yummy milkshake with her Daddy and she LOVED it.

Little Artist

We have a little Artist on our hands.  Addie LOVES to color as you can see :)

Ducks!

This past weekend we took advantage of the overcast mornings and slightly cooler temps to take Addie to see some ducks.  Addie loves ducks or maybe she loves that she can easily say ducks :)

This morning we actually fed the ducks.  Addie wasn’t so sure why I was throwing her bread away and often asked for a piece while we were trying to feed the ducks.  It was a fun little experience for her as she laughed at the sight of the ducks racing to get a piece of bread. 

here she is begging her for own piece of bread before the ducks took it all.

Singing in the Rain

We had tons of fun playing in the rain for the first time today.   It was a nice relief from the heat.
