9 month check-up

We had our 9 month check up this morning. Dr. King said everything was great. We are right on target.
Our weight was 16 lb 11oz (30% percentile), height 28 inches (75% percentile) and head 45 inches (80% percentile). Dr. King said that we were proportioned just right. We can now start eating real food even eggs, yogurt, and soft cheese. Addison grabbed my pizza crust last night and started gumming it. She is crawling all over the place and trying to get in to everything.

Addison Crawling

Today I took alot of video of Addy's new found love of crawling and climbing. I selected the best clips to share with everyone.

The first one shows she is starting to really move.




In this one her expression seems to show her realizing what a "ball" is.




In this one we play, we sing, and she gets up close and personal.




Here she demonstrates her love of climbing up. She can stand like a champ now.

Swinging at the park

She is getting such a personality. It was high 60's today and we enjoyed the heck out of it. She loved the swings. She would have stayed for hours.

My sweetheart!! I could eat her up. If only she looked like her mommy, she looks like the milkman. Addy's blond hair will probably be white by the end of the summer making her look even less like mommy. WHERE IS THE DARK HAIR?
The baby center web site said this week that most likely the color of the eyes will not change. Addison will most likely have the most beautiful eyes ever!!! Just like her Papaw's and Grandpa's.

Play date with our boyfriend Keller

Addison and her boyfriend Keller! Keller is our friend that lives in the neighborhood. She loves to go over and play with Keller and Ellamay (his big sister). Keller and Addison are within 4 days of each other. What if they end up getting married?

My big blue eyed girl! She has started pulling up to her knees when I walk in her room in the morning.

8 and a half months

Grandpa Mike came in to visit. We had a great time spending time with him.

She must be contemplating something serious. Everyday I feel like she is changing so much. Today, I told her no when she tried to take off her shoes and she threw her head back, arched her back and started crying. I am not sure when she learned what "no" meant but she definitely acted like she knew what it meant today.

If she could only stay this innocent for the rest of her life, what I would give!
Addy has still not decided to crawl although I have no complaints. She is still a perfect baby. She is always happy, smiling and very playful. She is sleeping 8pm to 8am and taking 2 naps during the day. I could not ask for anymore. We are so extremely blessed.
