Happy 2nd Birthday Adeline Mae!

I can hardly believe my sweet sassy little girl is two already! Where has the time gone? I think she has grown up so fast because she was only 18 months when Stella was born and 10 months when I got pregnant with Stella. Amazing how those new babies can make your other babies seem like giants so quick! Here are a few pics, birth to two!

Yes, my sweet little girl is missing one of her front teeth. We had a bit of a freak accident happen. Back in October we were walking home from church and she was running ahead of us, Paul went to stop her and grabbed ahold of her backpack and she fell and face planted into the sidewalk. Of course it happened the same day we were headed to my Godson Jameson's 2nd birthday party, she had a huge fat bloody lip. I tried looking at her tooth then, as did her Godmother Randi, who is also a dental assistant, neither of us could get a real good look at it. But the next day once the swollen lip went down a bit I could see her tooth a little better and it looked like she had just scrapped her tooth, I kept my eye on it and I think in November I checked it again and then I could see a hair-line vertical fracture, but it wasn't loose. Fast forward to the beginning of December and I was brushing her teeth and checked it again and this time it was loose. So I e-mailed one of my former bosses and he recommended that I bring her in and have it checked over. I brought her in, and the doctor didn't get a real good look at it because she wouldn't really open her mouth for him, he did give me a mouth mirror and it I was able to get a look at the lingual (tongue side) of it and could see the fracture was all the way through. He told me to just watch it since I knew what to look for and that we'd probably have it pulled when she was closer to three. This was at the beginning of December when I took her in. In February, it was REALLY loose and she was starting to bite on the lose piece and Kevin was afraid she'd aspirate it and asked me if I would just pull it out, so he held her and I pulled it out in less than 2 seconds, she cried just a tiny bit. The other piece still seemed stable at that time, so the following day I called the office and talked to Dr Smyth and told him that I pulled it and he said to continue watching it. Well last Friday before we were going out of town the piece that was still in there had shifted to her mid-line, so I pulled that piece as well, so now she looks like a little red-neck missing that tooth! The root still remains under the gums as it appears that the tooth fractured vertically first and also at the gumline. The root will resolve when the permanent one forms more and starts to push down. It never seemed to bother her. Kevin said she looks really mean now that she's missing that tooth! 

Happy Birthday Baby Girl! We love you!

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've posted pictures of the kids and since I'm trying to clean-up all the pictures on the laptop and get them organized so I can back them up on the external hard-drive and I came across some cute pictures that I haven't shared! I currently dislike Facebook's picture downloading system, so I've only been posting pictures here! Most of them you will notice are of Adeline. Because currently she is my ham, whenever I have the computer out, immediately she looks at me, smiles and says "CHEESEBURGER!" So enjoy!

Yesterday I couldn't find her and she was being pretty quiet, so I was looking around for her. Well Amelia currently is sleeping on the bottom bunk since Addie is still in her crib, she asked to sleep on the bottom. No biggie. But as you can see...she sleeps with a LOT of stuff! These days Addie is big into picking out her own clothes, and she loves to throw on hats and say she's "Santa Claus" or she's going shopping, etc. She's very imaginative for her age, which I love, she keeps me on my toes all the time! Anyway, she blended in with the bed. She was laying down, but by time I grabbed the camera she was already sitting up!

Peeking over the top of my computer while I was doing some paperwork!

Baby Stella! We're still not sure what color her eyes are going to be, I'm almost positive that they aren't going to be blue. They actually look a little hazel and have brown specs in them, hopefully she'll have brown eyes like her big brother! She's still sweet as ever!

This is Amelia on the morning of her spring pictures, she's modeling on of my tutus for my Etsy Shop-Stella Adelia, she happened to have a 2 hour late start, so I had her try this on for me before heading to school so I could get a couple pictures for my website!

When we were up north for my niece's Baptism in December, we picked up my Grandpa's old snowmobile from my Grandma's house. We plan to restore it, but for now, it's running. It's an old Skidoo TNT 440 or something or other...don't ask me! I'm not real sure. It hasn't run in almost 30 years, and when we hosted all of my family for Christmas in January, some of them got a chance at riding it around. Kevin is giving Amelia a ride while we were waiting for all of our company to arrive.

This is Pauly and Addie after his Lego Duplo order arrived, he cashed in his piggy bank and saved his Christmas money to buy these Duplos, he's been busy with them ever since!

Hopefully I'll have more pictures to post soon!
