Two Months? Already?!

I can't believe we've already passed the 2-month marker.

A few highlights:

• Smiles and chatter - Addison can be pretty selective with her smiles. She seems pretty serious but she surely can talk. Her noises are so cute. I should try and capture her during one of her talkative times.
• Visits - Grammy and Granda Jones spent a couple of days with us and Uncle Kurtis and Auntie Cariann were here last weekend. Needless to say, Addison cast her spell over them all and now they are wrapped around her tiny little finger.
• Road trip - Addison went on her first road trip down to the States for a day of shopping with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Kurt & Auntie Cariann and was an absolute angel. She did better than most of us with the long border line.
• Old friends - we got together with two of my best girlfriends (one who came down from Kelowna) and their significant others for a night full of good conversations and laughter.

The lowlight:

• First shots - it just happened today so it's very much on my mind. How cruel to ask a mother to hold down her daughter while a nurse stabs her four times with 1-inch needles. Addison took it pretty hard - as did I. She slept the majority of the afternoon, although there were a few tears (hers, not mine). But she woke up around 6 this evening and has been happy and alert since then. Hopefully, we have a good night.

The funny:

• I signed Addison and I up for a Kindermusik class. Now I'm not one of those mothers who have to involve their child in every possible activity. I just thought it would be fun. We had our first class on Tuesday. I should have known something was up when she was awake for the whole ride there. Wide awake. Right up until the class started. Then she closed her eyes and proceeded to sleep for the entire class. What a little trouble maker. It was so funny. Hopefully she'll get used to it soon. I am curious to see how she does during our first aquasize class...

Seriously, how cute am I?

I couldn't resist taking a nudie picture
