A couple of weekends ago we took the kids to the zoo. Addison has been there a couple of times since we brought her home, but she never really seemed interested. This time she LOVED it!!! At first she was a little scared, but we told her it wasn't scary and she was okay with it. She loved seeing the elephants and monkeys!! Nathan always the trooper thought it was great. We had bought Addison a "leash" a few months ago and kept it in the stroller. Addison saw it and wanted to wear it. We kept asking if she was all done with it and she told us know. I guess we became some of "those" parents.
Addison goes back to the craniofacial team on Tuesday. We are anxious to hear what they have to say. We think the skin above her top lip is pulling on her nose. We can see scar tissue that we didn't before. The surgeon did say that he was going to have to build up that area - it just may happen sooner rather than later.
My big kids had leashes too so we were also part of the "those parents" club!
ReplyDeleteLove the new pictures! Our girls love the zoo as well. We try to get there once a month or so.
And, yes, some of my little ones have had chewy tubes like Nathan so I sure do recognize it!!!
Everytime I see updated pictures of Addison, she changes so much that I can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteRemember the zoo in China...I always laugh about that day because Ella kept telling Jocelyn she hated all the animals =).
Good luck at the next md appt.
Nathan looked good-hope he is well.
I wish I lived where you do-It is still 102 degrees in Phoenix =(.

Addison's hair looks so full! I love the little flip at the end - Lily's is stick straight. It looks like your kids had fun at the zoo - I've only taken Lily once and we were hot and miserable! Hope all goes well at the dr. appt. tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you guys, we've had our fair share of dr. visits!

your brother isn't too happy with the leash, I think he hasn't been around Addison. Love her, Grandma
ReplyDeleteYour children are precious! I love Addison's hair! Can you believe we are approaching our one year anniversary of adoption? I can't!
