Where do I start?

So many things...ok first and most exciting to me....Allie crawled to the recliner today and grabbed hold and stood herself up. Yes I know this is impossible as she is only 6 months old, but it's true. and she proceeded to continue doing it all afternoon. Like nothing. no problem at all.
I didn't remember Adds doing it this early so I grabbed the BLOG BOOK (more on that later!) and looked. Addison didn't start pulling herself up until shortly after 7 months old and here Allie is less than six and a half! Is it even possible to have a busier child than Addison?? I thought not. I pause to compare the girls on anything as I am sure they will rub it in each other's faces later. (you had better not!) But I just cannot wrap my head around the thought of another child as coordinated as Addison. People can never believe how old she is when we take her to the park, and now Allie is showing us her moves. Craziness but I love it.
I just told Rob that Allie did it before Addison did and his response- of course- was "good, the sooner she's up and running the better!". Of course. lol, another crazy child to wrestle with is all he's thinking.

Okay, the Blog Book. Yes it is here, and yes it is everything I dreamed of and more. I did it from Addison's birth through 2008 and from now on I will have each year published. I am so excited. It'll be our family's journal of sorts, (although I still keep my own personal journal as well). The picture quality is great and the shiny pages and slick cover are so beautiful. It's so special to me and I know that over the years we will all love looking back. love it. Rob has tomorrow off so we are going to show it to Addison, I can't wait to see her reaction to seeing herself in a book.

So the fair started today. Excuse me, I mean the Antelope Valley Fair and Alfalfa Festival started today. lol, yep still making me laugh every time. We visited briefly this afternoon, cruised through the animal barns, smelled the stink and got the heck outta there! Experienced some fair food this year (always the best part), and realized that Allie may possibly have a little temper in her. We had the girls in the double stroller and Addison was enjoying her chicken strip. Allie apparently wanted to enjoy it as well and grabbed at the chicken agressively. Lucky for Adds she saw it coming and held it out of Allie's reach. Addison was pretty shocked and Allie was pretty MAD. Yikes grabby Allie. So Rob fed Allie chicken and both girls were happy until Addison busted out the puffies and it all started again. And it was funny cuz Addison would feed Allie a puffy whenever I asked her to, but that wasn't enough, Allie wanted the whole container and would throw herself toward Addison in an attempt to grab it. I see many tug of wars in our future, and Allie is no shrinking violet, so this could get interesting.

**One more thing---for those of you who don't know....super glue and small children do not mix. Addison got in to my bucket of nail stuff today while she was supposed to be doing an art project at the bar. Well lets just say she glued herself to everything. She has super glue all over her little legs, fingers and one elbow. Not sure how she got it there, but I feel horrible. She never gets in to stuff like that, but that's what I get for leaving her for a whole five minutes. Apparently the nail bucket is irresistible. AGH and Robbie was just saying last night that he can't wait for Addison to cut her own hair. he's crazy. I hope that is NOT next.
