Swedish Fish

Today my mom had to go to UVU and so Grandma Twede watched me. I love when she does 'cause I get pretty much whatever I want. Except... swedish fish. Grandma came down to get me out of bed this morning and as I was crawling up the stairs, I found a beautiful, delicious Swedish Fish. It looked so tasty, I had it an inch, half inch, milimeter from my mouth... then Grandma grabbed it and threw it backward.

Well, in the heat of my fishy passion, I leapt from the second stair to the bottom. I began crying and Grandma picked me up and tried to love me better, she didn't know because I'm such a great actress, that I was trying to see where the fish had gone so I could grab it surreptitiously when she put me down again. Unfortunately, Grandma being a sneaky bugger, had already grabbed it to throw it in the trash. So now, instead of a gooey, yummy, stickiness in my belly, I have another bruise on my forehead and rugburn from the bridge of my nose to the tip.

When my mom did finally get home, I was asleep. But when I awoke, she fed me lunch. In the middle of my feast, I found something funny about my thumb. It's what my mom calls, Double jointed. Well, it was intriguing to say the least and it was made all the better by the way Mom reacted. "Addy, quit, that's disgusting!" "Addy! Gross, yucky! Kaaaaakaaaaa! Noooo!" Mom is weirded out by body parts... she makes me laugh.

I am a Dancing Fool!

I am an excellent dancer. Watch as I take instruction and immediately repeat what I am shown. Amazing? Yes. Surprising? Hardly.

In the second video, there's something special for Grandpa Hargis. Le wink.







Does anybody else think that I should get into dance ASAP?

Mom's Worst Day

Today was a sad day. Mom was stressed about school, like I said before, it's useless. But when she got home we went into our room and when Mom got done folding clothes, we were playing on her bed. She doesn't usually let me play up there because she's afraid I'll fall. Well, today she let me. I kept running around the bed and face planting into the pillows and that was fun, then I did it a little too high and hit my forehead on the window sill.

You guys know I'm a tough lady but I screamed. Mom grabbed me up and turned me over and she screamed. My forehead was dented in. She ran me upstairs and Grandpa Twede took me and tried to calm me down while Grandma calmed Mom down. I didn't cry for long, Grandma and Grandpa put some frozen peas on my forehead and I didn't understand it so I kept trying to eat the bag. Soon enough my forehead started to swell and there was no more dent, just a hugeamungous goose egg.

Mom and Dad took me to the doctor just to make sure my brain was working right and it was. I didn't even cry when the doctor pressed on my bruise. I am an awesome kid. Everything is fine, no breaks or nothin'. Dr. T did say that I might get a black eye because of the blood pooling or something like that. I wasn't really paying attention, I was playing with some fairy stickers Kim, the nurse gave me.

People keep telling mom that someday she'll be able to look back and laugh about that incident but I don't think she will.*



*Note from Mom: Addy is doing great, she just has a bump and a bruise. I'm pretty sure I cried more than she did today. I felt so guilty and it's just my luck that the first time I let her play on the bed, something like this would happen. It hurts my heart every time I look at her bruise. I just wanted to say, I'm sorry you got hurt, Addy. I love you so much. We'll play tomorrow a good distance from any window sill and I'll read you an extra book. I love you, sweetie.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

So, it was my mom's birthday today and cooked hot dogs over a fire and we had smores. Yummy!

Anyway, she got a video camera and here's the first movie! Featuring me... of course.

Drove Mom Crazy!

I had a jolly day today. Mom was on the computer registering for school (who needs that? Useless) and I was playing in the family room while she was doing that and here's a list of the things I did while waiting for her to finish.

1. Climbed on the treadmill, then tried to climb into my stroller but got stuck halfway because I accidentally pushed the stroller away from the treadmill. So I was half way on half way off with my legs flailing about.
2. Climbed on the couch and grabbed a stack (about 25 papers) of documents from the printer and scattered them around the room.
3. Found a piece of cake Daddy left lying around and grabbed a handful of it and ate it, then I ran from Mom when she was trying to wipe my face.
4. Found a piece of Chase's Tootsie roll and ate it, then I ran away when Mom tried getting it out of my mouth.
5. I kept pushing the stroller into the back of Mom's chair and laughing when she'd turn around and see what it was.
6. I figured out how to open the DVD player and grabbed The Office DVD that was in there and began chewing on it.
7. Climbed on the fireplace and danced when Mom said "No, No Addy!"

I gotta say, it was a very productive day for me.

I'm Harriet Potter! (Thank you, Amber Cope for that one.)

Oh man, what a week... erm... ten days. You'll all be happy to know that I've been giving my mom a run for her money. Literally run. Muwahaha. Today was an especially nice day. Mom and I went for our walk, napped and then went to the pool! LE YAY! We swam for hours. It was so fun. We shared our shady spot with a nice family who gave me a popsicle 'cause I'm just so darn good lookin'. After that we went home, napped again, ate dinner and I had an ice cream cone! I don't know if you guys know what those are but wow, I highly recommend them.

Okay... clean up isn't so fun. Mom unbuckled me, grabbed the tops of my arms and hauled me to the shower. She had to turn the water on so she put me on the sink and I drew all over the mirror with my ice cream hands.

Poor mom.

After Mom and I showered she told my dad, "Shaving my legs with Addyson in the shower with me is like putting a bow tie on a flying hummingbird."

What is that supposed to mean? Enlighten me, people.
