Addison @ the Stonegate pumpkin patch

I know it has been awhile since I posted. I should have posted a daycare update sooner (sorry about that!). To start off with - Addison will be starting her 4th week of daycare already. It has gotten a little easier to leave her, though I still miss her the second I walk out the door. Her "teachers" are Miss Robin, Miss Becca & Miss Jenn. Robin is the teacher in the morning when I drop her off and Addison seems to have really taken to her. She usually will give Robin a big smile and that makes leaving a little easier. There are 7 other babies in the room and 1 more that only goes part time. Addison has really adjusted well, and I know she has a good time when she is there. Her boyfriend Cade is the only one there with her in the morning until 7:30am - so they get some good time to play with Robin before all the other babies show up.

It took a total of 1 week for Addison to get sick :( She came down with a cough Oct 12. I literally called the doctor almost every other day for over a week. They told me just to treat her symptomatically, but after a week and 4 confirmed cases of croup in her class, I took her into the doctor. Sure enough she had croup and had to have a breathing treatment and a steroid shot. I can say today was the first day she was back to our Addison!! She was really smiley and sweet all day! She still has a little bit of a cough - but she was in a really good mood all day. I am learning colds are just a part of daycare. I am so happy she is feeling better!! On another note - she weighed 12lbs 8 oz at her doctors appt and will be 16 weeks tomorrow!!! My baby girl is getting so big!

We took Addison to the pumpkin patch this weekend. It was sponsored by our neighborhood and just down the street so we dressed her up in her costume and took her on a walk. There were so many cute kids!! We brought a few pumpkins home and carved them on Saturday. Erik carved a Cubs pumpkin and I carved a squirrel pumpkin for Addison (since we call her Squirrel Mayor, Squirrely, Squirrel Momma... you get the idea)

Here is the squirrel sitting in front of a few of the pumpkins we picked out.

And a bonus picture - this was from today. We took the dogs to be groomed and she was sporting her new squirrel hat from her Aunt Mary & BFF Reagan! THANK YOU!!
