the essence

Today has been one of those days. Ray called a bit ago & I flat out told him it's been one of the worst days I've had in awhile. It was a real test of Addison's obedience (or lack thereof) & my patience.

I believe she's going through a growth spurt, too, because she was up at 3:30 this morning; very happy, but wanting to eat. Thankfully, Ray dealt with her then, but ALL DAY today Addison's been asking to eat. It doesn't matter how much I feed her, she finishes & then asks for something to eat. I'm so tired!

The girl does love dip for her food. It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it can be used as dip - hummus, sour cream, refried beans, tuna ball...ketchup.

You can tell she totally has my family genes - the girl LOVES ketchup. These are some pictures from a couple months ago. Rather than dipping her food in the ketchup she decided to eat it with a spoon!





When I was a kid I remember dipping my green beans in ketchup. And, to this day, I like it with my eggs & must have it on the table at Thanksgiving to go with the Turkey. Just like others in my family. :)
