Really, attachment issues?

So I have a confession to make... Apparently I have attachment issues. I guess I first became aware of it when Christopher got rid of the white explorer in college. I was very sad and I felt like I didn't get to say good-bye. Then there was leaving our first rent house in Marshall. I still get a little sad when I have to drive past it while I'm in Marshall. Those of you who have been reading my blog a while you know that I almost cried when I was getting rid of the Saturn for the Envoy. Even though it was a MAJOR upgrade, I was really really sad.

One day when my mom was here keeping Addison we were talking and she mentioned how I have a hard time letting things go and reminded of the above instances. She said that those probably stem from all the moves when we were growing up. I mean 6 different schools from K - 12th grade, who would think it?? So at the time I thought, "well, maybe, but I don't think that it's that bad."

... and I had a moment yesterday when I realized that all this HAS to be true. What happened? I had a questionable mole removed from my back. I had been wanting to go for some time but Addison was on her way and I wasn't able to lay on my stomach. So yesterday was the appointment. Dr. Baldwin looked at my back and said "well, it doesn't look too bad, but it wouldn't hurt to get it sent off anyway." So we did. While I was laying there on my stomach on the table I was thinking about my mole and that I was going to be a little sad that it was no longer there. I kind of liked it, I thought that it added a little something to the small of my back. Then I realized that yes, if I'm sad about a mole being cut off then I must have attachment issues.

Apparently these are evident to Christopher also because when I called him to tell him that Dr. Baldwin cut it off his first words were "Are you sad?"

So I will freely admit, one less mole and two staples later... I, Mindi Collier have attachment issues.

What's the next step in a recovery program??

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Be patient, new blog look coming soon. Addison will only allow me to work on it for a few minutes at a time, so it may take a little while to get it all working correctly!

I forgot...

I forgot to give the 2 month stats from the Dr.

Weight -- 11 lbs .2 ounces

Height -- 22.5 inches long

Head -- 15 inches around

She was in the 50% percentile on everything, so we called her perfectly average!

Too much for a title

DISCLAIMER: Blogger is slightly upsetting me because I can't fix the format of this post to look normal. So bear with it.. hopefully next time it won't be all over the place!!

I really do have good intentions to update the blog more often. I just don't seem to get around to it. Thanks for hanging in there those of you that continue to check back.

Just a few things have been going on. Like always, I'll tell it in pictures.

Like I said in the last post, Addison thinks it's so funny when Chris puts his hat on her. Here are two of the cutest pictures that I think we have of her.

Friday we went for her 2 month shots! IT was also the employee Thanksgiving lunch at the hospital so I thought it would be a good idea to take her up there so that everyone could see her and then stop asking me if I brought pictures... Once Grandad got up there he had her for a while... you can't see it well in this picture but I really think that Addison looks just like him, maybe that will change once she has hair!!

This was just after the shots. A lot of people say that they cried when their babies got shots for the first time. Maybe it makes me and Christopher bad parents but we laughed. Shots don't bother us from all those summers at Camp Sweeney.
















Here is another after the shots picture. This may have been the first time that I have seen her cry with tears...

Sunday we went to the Cowboy game with Kallen and Kelsey. Addison stayed with my sister while we were there. She apprently cried the whole time, sorry Mel. She just didn't feel very good after her shots!

The game was fun though, I think what was more entertaining was the guys in front of us...

These guys loved to give high 5's after anything good happened. At first it was funny, then somewhat annoying...

Halloween and 2 months old!!

Here is Addison's Halloween Outfit that her Aunt Mary got her. Isn't she cute!!

Her actual costume was a lady bug. It was too hot to wear it for very long so she put it on for a few pictures. This is her friend Mallory, she was a bee so I thought it would be good to get the bugs together!

This is how car rides usually start out when she has a bow in.
This is how they end up! In the middle of car rides she likes to go ghetto!

Here are the dads with their babies at Trunk or Treat at church! Christopher and Addison, Kory and Kanyon, Mark and Blake

Now that Addison is 2 months old... She does some new things...

She likes to wear her daddy's hat.

She learns accounting from her dad. Doesn't she look so interested!!
She holds her own bottle. (okay, it only lasts for a few seconds but I feel like she's really old for those seconds)


She does sit ups. She does sit ups everynight with her dad. We attribute her incredable neck strength and the fact that she rolled over to these.

This isn't really anything to do with her 2 months old things, I just thought that it was funny. I was getting her foot prints in her book and she stamped me instead of the paper.

I have not been able to get a good picture of her smiling yet. She smiles a lot, but in every picture she just looks crazy... We'll try again later
