The 4 foot tall Giraffe!!

We celebrated Jeremy's dad's birthday on Wednesday, August 15th. Pop Yates turned the big 51. We went to Fort Smith and ate dinner at Logan's with Don, Becky and Grandmother. Of course we needed dessert so we went to the Marble Slab for some ice cream.

Next door to the Marble Slab is a new children's shoe store that also sells some toy items. When we got out of the car, Don said "hey look at the big giraffe in the window." And there it was - a 4 foot tall stuffed giraffe!!

I made the remark about how I had a 4 foot tall giraffe in my room when I was a baby. Jeremy and I continued to window shop and went into the Marble Slab followed by Becky and Grandmother. In the meantime, the shop owner comes out to speak with Don about the 4 foot tall giraffe.

When we came outside to eat our ice cream at our table, there was the giraffe sitting next to Don!! Addie's very own 4 foot tall giraffe just like mine. If a child can convince her grandpa to buy her a huge giraffe and she is not even here yet, we are wondering what kind of stuff she is going to convince him to buy her when she is actually here!!!

The Baby Bed is Here!!

The baby bed finally arrived on Thursday. It is a converter crib so it will be a toddler bed and then a full size bed. Her furniture is going to be black.

Putting together the baby bed involved a lot of help from a 60 pound Boxer. Bella is convinced that everything in Addie's room belongs to her.

We also received the matching dresser with the changing table however, that is at Mom's house.

Thanks to Grammy and Poppy for the bed!!

Thanks to Great Aunt George, Great Aunt Carter, and Great Aunt Beanie aka, Bev, Carla and Bettye for the dresser/changing table!!

The Morrison Shower

Well we have had our first shower and Adalynn received so much great stuff already!!!

She is going to have so many clothes. We received a great assortment of gifts.

We are taking a VOTE "IE" vs. "Y"

Okay so originally we had decided that Adalynn would be called Addie or Addy. I let Jeremy decided how to spell Adalynn and how he wanted to spell her nickname. He thought that Addie was cute and girly.

However, in agreement with Tracie, everyone is spelling it with a "y" instead of with an "ie." Tracie recommended this because her whole life everyone misspelled her name and would spell it with a "y."

So now it is up to you!! Please leave us your opinion on the "y" vs. "ie"
