This picture's for you, Grandma Sandy! Love those tights!

These last 3 pictures were taken at the Shakopee Community Center. On Mon., Wed., and Fri. mornings they have "open gym" for 0-5 yr. olds. They have toys in there for the kids and only costs $1 per child. She loved it.




Answer: She's wearing stripes in all of the above pictures. That's not on purpose either. I just happened to notice it.

"I Don't Want to Raise Successful Children"

I saw this link to another blog on a friend of mine's page on Facebook. I thought the article was well-said. So many parents today need to hear this, and get the correct encouragement. Enjoy the read!

15 month check-up

Addie turned 15 months old on Saturday. She had another doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon. Had a few shots (no flu shot still... just regular immunizations), cried a lot for those. Here are her stats:

Weight: 20 lbs., 1 oz., 11th%tile
Height: 30 inches, 35th%tile
Head: 17.5 inches, 13th%tile

She's grown 1.5 inches since the end of August. I was wondering why she was able to reach things on the bathroom counter now... Everything else looks good. She's a healthy little girl.

Grandma Sandy's visit

Some of you may know that I was sick about a week and a half ago. I had a high fever and cold = basically the flu. So, Grandma made her way over to help cook and clean. Just shows that you can be 26 and still need your mom. It was fantastic. Wish I had her here every day. :) Love ya, Mom!

We THOUGHT Addie was getting the flu on Tuesday because she was acting very lethargic and had a temp of 102.6. Turns out it was just a tooth coming in. She has 4 on top and is getting a 3rd on the bottom now. She's all back to normal and it's nothing a little Tylenol couldn't help. Things are back to normal in the Zahn abode.

Helping Grandma cook... minus pants.

A typical Addie....

...and again....

....and AGAIN. What a ham!

Grandma took this before she left. We miss you!
