Why do I go so long between posts?

I haven't updated in a while, well just because I haven't! Everytime I try to get on a upload pictures to photobucket and start a new post Addie needs me, or I get distracted! My baby girl is 9 months old today! She is SO mobile! It's insane! She is getting into everything and I am running all over to keep her out of trouble! Last week we went to the Phoenix Children's Museum with my friend Nikolle and her daughter Ella. We all had so much fun. They had a room that was just for children under age 3. It had soft blocks, baby dolls, a mini ballet bar with a mirror and the girls just loved it. My sister and I are going to go and take all the girls. I know her girls Kaitlynn and Ashlynn would love it! Addie's 9 month well baby appointment is on the 10th so I will have her stats then. I really can't think of anything else new or exciting! Things are going pretty good! We are going to my uncle's wedding in Tucson tomorrow so I will make sure to take lots of pictures! I will update again after her appointment! Here are some pictures!

I need to update!

I haven't blogged in quite a while! Let's see....what's new? Addie is 8 months old! and....she is crawling....well, kind of! She does this adorable army-scoot-type-thing and I love it! She can get herself around, that's for sure! She just can't seem to get the coordination needed to move on her knees and more her hands at the same time! She gets up on her hands and knees with her belly off the floor, but she just can't get going! She also stands up on everything and pulls herself up on things available! It's so cute! She is about 24lbs and 30 inches long! Her next dr. appointment isn't until September, so I am excited to get an exact measurement of her growth! She also loves to eat table food! She hates baby food...she loves to eat scrambled eggs, pieces of plain toast, yogurt melts, cereal puffs, little crunches, plain pasta noodles and all kinds of other things I can't think of! She says banana, mama, dada and waves bye! I'm trying to teach her to blow kisses and give high fives! Well Addie and Cedric are both napping right now so I am going to use this opportunity to get some stuff done!

Here is Addie at her cousin Hayley's 1st Birthday party:

I will be back to update again soon!

I have a new resolve for school...

I went and registered for classes on Thursday. I had originally planned not to go back to school...mainly because I didn't know what I wanted to do and I was basically wasting money taking random classes. Andrew and I were talking, and I want Addie to know that her Mom graduated from school too! I am going to finish my medical billing/physician coding certificate. It's not a degree, but it will allow me to do billing from home or in a physicians office and it will allow me to make more money. I'll also be a certified transcriptionist. I'm taking 6 and a 1/2 classes (Who came up with 1/2 credit classes anyways?) and as long as I stay focused I will be done spring 2010. Now that Addie is older I know it will be a little easier for homework because she can play and entertain herself a little bit more. I also qualified for federal pell grant of upto $2900.00 so that means going to school for free too! School is especially hard for me because of the homeschool thing...but I know I can do it!

BUSY weekend!

We had such a busy weekend! It feels like we didn't have any time to relax - at all! Saturday was Andrew's Mom's 50th birthday, and we threw her a surprise party! We had it at the clubhouse here in our apartments and it turned out great! We had about 25 people and just had fun! She was very surprised. Sunday we had Church until 12:30, then my nieces (plural, Kaitlynn turned 7 June 5th and Ashlynn turned 4 June 25th) birthday party at 1:30! We ended up staying until almost 6:00p.m. because we were having so much fun swimming and hanging out. Then Sunday we came home and I had to clean and get our apartment re-organized from the party commotion! Now it's Monday and I have a long week ahead of me! Oh, and Addie is now a big girl sleeping in her own crib! Some of you may know, we started putting her in her crib when we moved out of my parents house back in April, but after we went of vacation in May to Kansas and Addie had to sleep with us, she went on a crib sleeping strike and refused to sleep in her room! It took a week of letting her cry for 15 minute increments but now she is sleeping in there like a pro! Come to find out she is a belly sleeper, though! UGH! It really freaks me out! But we talked to her doctor and he said as long as we are putting her on her back and she is putting herself on her belly, there's nothing we can do! Here are some pictures from this weekend!

The cake, it says "Don't worry I'm just here for the cake!" lol!

4th of July/6th Month Pictures!

Our fourth of July was awesome! We went to Coolidge to visit Andrew's Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles on Friday, and came home on Sunday. We went swimming, hung out, BBQ'd and just had fun! Addie is so spoiled when we go there! They all just love her to pieces. We went to our friends Sabrina and Aron's house on Friday night in AZ City and had dinner and talked loooong into the night! It was so much fun because we don't get to see them very often. We watched fireworks from their backyard because the golf course was doing their fireworks on Friday. Addie loved watching them! Then we swam, ate, swam some more and just hung out with family. Coolidge did a 45 minute firework show! It was hot but way worth it. Addie just loved watching all the colors! Anyway, here are the pictures I promised long ago!















This picture is going to be hung in the Portrait Innovations in Peoria! YAY!

Kabbani look-a-like meter!

Summer Ramblings...

My Addie girl is getting so big! She tries to crawl but can't get her chubby self off of the ground! We went to a birthday party today and she had so much fun watching the kids play and playing with her best friend Ella! She says "nana" now too, but for Banana! She LOVES bananas and if I say banana she yells "NANA!" It's so darn adorable! I took her back to the doctor on Thursday because she's had drainage and goop coming from one of her eyes for quite some time. They've given me two different types of drops and it hasn't cleared it up so they wanted me to bring her back in. We'll when I brought her back in they totally dismissed it. They said it's a blocked duct. I've never heard of a blocked duct showing up at six months old! I've been annoyed with her doctor's office because EVERY time we bring her in we see a new doctor. I want her to have one doctor that she sees every time that she comes in. It's annoying because they ask me the same questions every time trying to find out her medical history or they skim through her chart and act like they know what they're talking about. It's so annoying. I'm going to call a couple of pediatrician offices to see if I can set up an appointment for a second opinion and to find another doctor. Things are going great around the Kabbani house. We just finished doing Vacation Bible School at our Church. It was such a blessing and super fun! We also celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on June 17th! YAY! We went to dinner and a movie, and our gift to eachother was we got family pictures done! I'll post a few tomorrow because I'm going to bed because we have Church tomorrow!
