Jamey's job got extended yet another week. He won't be home until the 25th. I know I should be excited that he is still employed, but this is getting a little frustrating. He really loves his job and looks forward to going back next April. Hopefully, he can find employment for the next 5 months!
I am doing really well. I love spending time with Addy every day. I am not looking forward to having to go back to work in the next few weeks. I'm trying to figure out what kind of job I am even qualified for these days. I would love to do child care, but I'm not sure that Jamey is so supportive of that idea. I am also looking forward to actually getting our own place in Pueblo. I can't wait to decorate and get my brand new furniture out of storage.
Addison is growing up so much! It amazes me to see all the things she learns every day. She loves to tuck her babies into bed when it's time for them to seep (sleep). She also thinks that Duke is perpetually cold and needs to be covered up with her ameet (blanket). She loves to play outside and I'm so grateful that we've had a few nice days this week. She didn't do so well when it was in the 20's last week, and I made her stay inside. She loves to climb all over everything, and is an expert at getting onto the bathroom countertop. She is obsessed with sitting on her potty chair (only if she's fully clothed). I just wish she would sit still when I take her diaper off. She went to nursery for the first time on September 27th. She loved it, but she's missed both Sundays since (the 4th for conference and the 11th because our ward cancelled church). I am crossing my fingers that she will have fun on Sunday. She is constantly talking and coming up with new words and phrases everyday. Here is a list of some of her new favorite words and phrases:
Sorry (she says this to everyone we pass at the store)
excuse us (another fave when we are shopping)
Where'd ___________ go? (duke, it, dada, mama, papa, milk)
Hi ______________ (nini, mama, papa, dada, duke)
Night night (usually whined as she heads to her crib)
Amen (and she finally is getting the concept of folding her arms)
Ameet (blanket)
Jesus (she loves showing me pictures of him)
Seep (sleep)
Bless you (she tells everyone when they sneeze, even Duke)
One more
hide
Duke house
milk
juice
poop (she loves to tell me when she poops, if only i could convince her to tell me before!)
eat
potty
necklace
arm
leg
no mama (probably her favorite!)
touch down
run, run, run
cookie
She loves to hide under blankets from me and slide when it's warm enough to go outside. Her favorite food right now is cheese. She asks for it right when she wakes up. She loves to use her toy vacuum and pushes it all over the house. Too bad, she's too little to use the big one. Right now, I'm working on trying to teach her trick or treat, but it's coming out more as TT. Hopefully, she will get it in the next few weeks because she has a jam-packed Halloween schedule!
