Five on the Fifth

1. The other day, Addie came up to me, looked at my belly and said "hi baby!" It was adorable. She is going to be a great big sister! She still has no clue what's happening and if you ask her if she wants to be a sister then she'll object but these days she objects to pretty much everything except cookies and pouches.

2. Last week I shared an article on my Facebook page about having a speech delayed child. It pretty much nailed exactly how I have felt since Addison's regression started and she stopped talking. So many people thought it was no big deal and I was overreacting but I couldn't shake that feeling that it was something more. Turned out to be something much more than just her being a little behind. We got so lucky that she started progressing and that she started progressing again so quickly. I'm so proud of her and how far she has come. I feel for all the moms out there going through this same thing. Check out the article here.

3. Who else is completely pumped about the revival of Gilmore Girls? I had been watching Gilmore Girls again for like the hundredth time, and I hate the last season. It just wasn't the same. I am totally excited about it coming back in any form.

4. I picked Addison up from speech therapy the other day and I got a big hug, which isn't unusual. What was unusual was that she also gave the car a big hug when we got to the parking lot. She loves pointing out the car but never before had she hugged it. I just can't get enough of her!

5. 30 years ago, the Royals won the World Series for the first time, and finally we won it again! 30 years ago I wasn't born yet so it was pretty amazing to watch it happen this time. It's amazing how it has ignited the city and brought everyone together. I will admit that we did not go downtown to watch the parade but we did watch it on TV. The hubs had to work so there was no way I was going into that crazy by myself. To be honest I couldn't even fit into any of Royals shirts so well anymore thanks to a growing belly, but the kid was representing. But how fitting was it that the Royals won the series the way they did tying the game in the ninth then making their big comeback? Would you really expect anything else from them at this point? It's crazy that the season is finally over but it was one heck of an ending! Looking forward to 2016!
