Just a few random updates/stories. I am having some issues with uploading pictures on here. I can only get them to upload from Picasa which is a pain in the A$$! It just started 2 days ago. I really hope they get it fixed soon.
Anyway, so I was sitting in our living room yesterday morning and I heard this boom. I thought maybe it was one of the dogs or something so I didn't really pay it much attention. A little while later when I went outside to let the dogs out I found this.
It was laying right by the ac unit right up against the house. It fell from the large tree that takes up most of our back yard. My husband drug it over here to get it away from the house. Any bets on how long it takes him to remove it from the yard?
This is the most annoying pecan tree that sits right behind our house. It is huge and drops pecans ALL THE TIME, and when it is not dropping pecans the stinking squirrels are throwing them at us. Yes we have vindictive squirrels that love our tree. Oh and random fact, you have to have at least 2 pecan trees for them to produce pecans that are edible. So it is a useless, annoying tree that stops all grass from growing in our yard. The ironic thing is that we have a tree guy that is coming out to limb it up so that it doesn't do any damage to the house with falling limbs. He was 2 or 3 weeks out on his jobs when we set it up 2 weeks ago. Luckily it didn't seem to do any damage but it definitely hit the roof and was actually on top of the ac unit. Stupid tree.
Funny story, the other morning I was getting some stuff done around the house and the hubs was sitting on the floor playing with Addison. I heard her start fussing and went to get her to put her down for a nap. As he handed her up to me I noticed something looked funny under the dress she was wearing. Upon closer inspection I was that her diaper had become undone and was hanging on by one side. She was wearing on of the 2 Velcro diapers we have. I was laughing so hard I forgot to take a picture. The is why I am 100% a snaps for cloth diapers girl!
Random thought I had while I was browsing through my Google reader today. 2 of the blogs I follow (no worries about mentioning them on here since neither of them follow my blog, sad face) both had the same title today: We have a Tooth! Seriously it was exactly the same title, same capital letters, same punctuation. Anyway the point in mentioning that was to say that both blogs are about little boys one is almost 7 months and one is 11 months and they both got their first tooth today. I just thought that really showed how different kids are and how we should stop trying to always compare our kids to see if they are "normal". Both of these boys are normal healthy kids developing at their own rates. I know I am guilty of this myself. In fact my neighbor has a little girl that is 3 weeks younger than Addison and she is crawling! I mean I saw it with my own two eyes when I was babysitting for her the other day. Of course my first thought was "she is younger than Addison and already crawling?! there must be something wrong with my child" and then "Oh no she didn't (in my best gangsta voice, head roll), my child is older she should do everything first". Childish yes but I think we are all guilty of this. My next thought was about all the things that Addison does so well. I had to remind myself that our children are different and they are going to do things at a different pace and they will have different personalities. I have a feeling I am going to struggle with this having children so close in age that are going to be growing up together (since neither of us are going anywhere any time soon). I just have to remember to focus on the positives. I mean how lucky it is that Addison is going to have a playmate her own age that is right next door?!
