It is inevitable. Every girl has to have a brand new pair of shoes and Addison received her first pair this weekend. We took advantage of the gorgeous weather on Sunday and went to the Firewheel Mall to the Stride Rite kid shoe store. I think Keith was a little sticker-shocked, but thankfully I'm a coupon-watcher and was able to get $5 off. It took a little bit of coaxing to get her foot measured, but the saleslady was very nice. They even took a picture of her in her new shoes! That's going directly in her baby book. They gave us a little card with our picture and told us that her next fitting will be in November. We left the store and Keith, being blessed with the knack of saying what I'm thinking, said we'll probably be back in two weeks. And let's face it, we probably will. I was thinking about all the people Hurricane Ike displaced this weekend, I swear we kept the tv on weather the entire time. My prayers go out to them, but they also go out to all the people who are suffering from the allergies Ike stirred up. Addison has been unlucky enough to inherit my allergies and had trouble all weekend. She woke up Saturday morning and her eye was puffy and it watered all day. Sunday was better, but this morning wasn't great. We took advantage of the cooler weather this morning and put pants on Addison along with her new shoes. Please know that the picture above reflects the fact that she woke up about 4:45 am, was cranky, ready to leave, her eyes itched and were watering AND she was about to cry. Oh and both shoes didn't even make it into daycare. Go figure...
Other than the watery eyes we still had a good weekend. Addison is getting really close to walking. We were playing on the floor Saturday and she was standing up next to the couch when she just let go and stood by herself for a few seconds. She looked at me like, "Holy cow, did you see what I just did?" She's also been sharing her pacifier with me lately. She gets a kick out of sucking on it and then giving it to me and then taking it back from me. I never thought I would so readily and happily take a pacifier from someone before. It just warms my heart. Enjoy the pics, I know I did... :o)
Addison before church,
goofing off and
checking her text. Keith is so proud.

first of all, what a cutie!!
secondly, I'm glad you opted to watch the weather. We don't have the choice. Network programming? NOPE! I've decided I like the news team for our local NBC team best, so that's usually the channel we have on. Well, and then some ESPN to get highlights of all the games we weren't allowed to watch. They're punishing us for having power I just know it. Because it's not like before and directly after the storm where there was constantly new information being given out...
