Yesterday I was bending over and Addy jumped up with full force hitting my head with her head. We hit so hard I'm surprised neither one of us got a concussion. It hurt soooo bad. We both cried. I think I now know what it feels like to be punched in the eye. At first it hurt mostly on my cheek bone under my right eye but later in the day a lump appeared above my right eye. And today a nice, small bruise showed up above my eye. I asked Addy where she hurt because I wasn't sure where she hit and she said her nose but I think she would have had a bloody nose. I think her whole face must have hit. I ended up getting a migraine a couple hours later. But today I feel ok. And Addy hasn't said anything else about it so I think she's ok. Here's a picture of the small bruise.  Can you even see it? :)

The past couple of days I've been showing Lexi the picture of Jesus on our wall, pointing to it and saying "Jesus". She's been trying to copy me and say "Jesus" too. It is so cute. I wish you could hear how she tries to say His name. It took her a couple of days to start pointing to it but she now copies me by pointing to it when I point. Today the picture was behind her on the wall and I asked her "Where's Jesus?"  She turned around, pointed to the picture, and in her baby talk said "Jesus". Love her!

Last night Addy came into our room saying she was scared. I was so tired I told her to climb into our bed & I quickly fell back to sleep. I usually can't sleep with her in our bed & she usually just plays when she's in our bed but she fell right to sleep too, with her bony knees in my back :) I guess I was super tired if I could sleep with her knees in my back. I woke up a few hours later & decided to put Addy back in her bed. As I was picking her up she woke up to ask "Am I not scared anymore?" Lol. I told her she wasn't & she had no problems when I put her back in her bed. 

Things Lexi likes

1. Addison's bed.  She climbs into it every time we go in Addison's room.

2.  Climbing on me and snuggling when I'm trying to do situps.  I think she thinks it's hug-mommy-time when I lie on the floor.

3.  "This Little Piggy"

4.  "The Wheels on the Bus"

Tonight I made a Chilean dish called Pastel de Choclo that Steve likes, and I like it too.  Addy has not learned to like it yet. I made her try one bite which she ended up spitting out. If she tries one bite and doesn't like it I usually let her eat something else (I'm hoping this way won't cause problems later on). Anyways, she ended up eating a hard boiled egg and a roll.  While she was eating the egg she said "Yummy dinner Mommy.  Thank you for making it."  I said "You didn't eat what I made."  Addy replied "I didn't like it"  Lol

Addy will usually say "Yummy dinner Mommy.  Thank you for making it" when I make a casserole.  I've noticed she likes casseroles the best.

I don't remember being a picky eater when I was growing up.  I think the only thing I didn't like was seafood.  I'm pretty sure I gladly ate what my mom made for dinner.  If someone didn't like what she cooked for dinner she didn't make them something different.  I don't remember what I was like at 3 but I'm hoping Addy will "outgrow" her pickiness because I don't want to keep making her something different from what I make for dinner.

I recently noticed that Lexi likes The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss. While I was out running Steve brought the girls into Addison's room to see if Lexi would find the book (we keep the book on Addison's bookshelf). She found it & Steve read it five times then put it away. Lexi screamed with excitement while he was reading.  Lexi got it back out & held it up to Steve again.

When Steve gets home from work sometimes I run errands without the girls. Addy always wants a kiss & a hug before I leave. If I forget & I'm about to back out she yells at me from the porch & I have to get out & give her a kiss & a hug. I'm so glad she reminds me. She also likes to watch me drive away.

This morning I went for a run outside & she watched me run away. Steve said she yelled three times "Watch out for cars mom!" Then she said to Steve "She didn't hear my warning."
