addy on her 'pink rider'

pushing the pink rider after griswold

this has been quite an energetic week for adeline. she just sort of bounces around, looking for something new to play with. it's a lot of fun to watch her get so very excited over such little things, like an ant on the slide (she loves them!), or spying griswold sleeping on the floor where she can tackle him. of course, this means that mama & daddy have to be on their toes even more & right now daddy is a bit better at that than 8 month prego mama!

wednesday morning, wes took griswold to the vet for his annual checkup & shots. addy was devastated! she sobbed watching griswold get loaded into the car & was completely inconsolable for a good 10 minutes. she was probably thinking 'mama really did it, she's going to sell griswold to the arab traders & i'm next...!' (that is our threat: if you don't stop, we'll sell you to the arab traders!' we will not use this threat when she gets it...).

today she seemed even more full of energy than usual. she wanted desperately to go outside & was disappointed that we didn't go to the mall like i said we were due to canceled plans. i still had to go to target (to buy some sort of band aid for her big toe blister that won't go away) & she pointed to every playground along the way, sort of saying 'go!'...she even pointed to the mall as we passed by it & gave a good cry when i said we weren't going there now. it was a sad day for her & she let me know the rest of the time in target!

we've had a pretty uneventful week; it's so blasted humid outside that we only expose ourselves to the elements after dinner or before 10 a.m., so addy is very nature deprived right now, & you can tell! so my plea is this: god please please PLEASE send us some cooler weather so addy can play outside!
