Ummm I may have broken my arm!!!

For those of you who don't know, Addie has injured her arm. I picked her up from Anna's house on Friday afternoon and she had been awake about 45 minutes. Anna told me that she hadn't been using her arm since she woke up. She was giving to it when crawling. So I called the pediatrician and they said to take her to the ER. A long story short, no fracture according to the X-Rays but her alignment was off. They tried rotating it back into place but ended up splinting it after she refused to use it.
Today we went to the orthopedic doctor. Together we decided to cast her to be cautious. We had X-rays again. Alignment good and no fractures. However, he said her bones are not developed enough to see a fracture really. I told him I was concerned about the posturing of her thumb while resting and the fact that she isn't weight baring while crawling. He said casting it isn't going to hurt anything. So I said agreed. In my heart, I knew that it wasn't healed and I didn't want her to re-injure it. It is very embarrassing taking an infant to the ER and not know what they did! So we had a cast put on. We had a very positive experience even though the whole process was very long. Addie did an excellent job. So now she has a bright pink cast on for everyone to see!

Second: Maebrie's First Birthday!!!

After we spent about an hour at Allea's birthday party, we had our second party of the day. It was Maebrie's First Birthday!!! After Maebrie tore up her cake, I wanted a picture of the 4 of us. Addie reached in for a bite of cake and Maebrie wiped cake all over Addie's face!

First: Allea's Birthday Party

This weekend Addie celebrated her first friend birthday party. Allea turned 3! Allea goes to Anna's house with Addie and is a good friend of mine Annessa's daughter. Annessa went to UCA with me and is an occupational therapist, whom I have also worked with. In the above picture is Allea, Cameron (Anna's daughter and Allea's cousin) and Teagan (Andrea's daughter and Allea's cousin) with Addie.
This is Addie with Teagan. Teagan was born the weekend that Addie started at Anna's and it 6 weeks younger than Addie. Annessa and Teagan's mom, Andrea are sisters. I know that this is confusing but I talk about these people all the time so I thought you guys might want to see them.

Pumpkin Patch

After all the work was done for the homecoming dance, we just wanted to spend time with Addie. Everything is focused around her and we really didn't get to spend a lot of quality time with her this weekend.

There is a precious little couple in Centerton with a pumpkin patch, wagons, and a small maze. So we went there to get some pumpkins and take some pictures. Of course, my camera batteries died just as Adalynn was starting to warm up and have fun. Oh well, these are precious pictures of my beautiful girl.

Off to the Homecoming Dance?

For once there is a picture where Jeremy and I look decent and Addie looks like a rag muffin. We were off to chaperone the Bentonville Homecoming Dance. It was very exhausting but the kids were great! No behavior problems just tons of kids, wearing inappropriate clothes and dancing inappropriately. I am so not looking forward to teenage years.

At Homecoming!!

My mom came to take care of Addie while we prepared for homecoming. She brought Addie to the pep rally!!

Addie had fallen asleep in the car and was overwhelmed by all the students and the noise. This is her sitting on the turf inside the Athletic Complex before the assembly began.

Shopping Last Weekend (out of order)

Last weekend after Jeremy's family left, my mom and aunts came with cousins Susan and Jonah and we all went shopping. This was a super cute picture that my mom sent me. Sorry this blog is out of order but I couldn't pass up posting this picture.
