Hello

Hi all! Our computer decided to download a new version of Internet Explorer and now it won't let us update our blog. So annoying! Our annual family Lobstering Fest is about to begin!!! We cannot wait to bring Addison back to the pirate ship pool and watch her swim and splash and slide down the slides. This is going to be the first year she REALLY has fun!

Addison completed her ISR swim lessons about 2 weeks ago and I will say...that girl can swim! She has no fear and will jump off the side and swim to the stairs or the side all by herself! It is very exciting. I highly recommend this program to everyone.

Addison also decided one morning that she was ready to pee-pee on the potty. Out of no where she asked me to take her diaper off and she just went and sat on the potty and pee-peed! We are so very proud of her but it is also a double edged sword...now she wants to be naked ALL DAY LONG! Guess we have to be thankful our diaper bill is going down even if she is the neighborhood streaker! :)

Ansley is just a doll. She is getting so big and so happy. The poor baby wants to eat real food so bad but our pediatrician said not until 4 months. If I am holding her while I eat her eyes do not leave my spoon or drink and she periodically head dives into my plate. She is showing all the signs and in two weeks Addy and I will start making Ansley's baby food! I am looking forward to doing that again. I enjoyed making Addison's fresh baby food.

Ansley's eyes are still blue so we are keeping our fingers crossed that they stay. Addison's were hazel until a year and then changed to brown so who knows. I will post some of Ansley's 3 month pictures in a few.

Addison had a CBC in the middle of July and her counts are still improving!!! YIPPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her platelets have reached an all time high at 89,000! Her white and red blood are completely NORMAL! NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't believe I can say that word when discussing Addy's blood! Now we just have to monitor those platelets and pray they get to normal status one day soon.
