8 months...

Another month has gone by too quickly! This past month has been very busy for Addisyn. She's learned how to crawl and pull herself to standing, and can even take a side step while holding onto the furniture! I can't believe she's growing so quickly...right before our eyes! Addisyn is now eating regular foods three times a day and is eating what we have for dinner. She loves to play and babble to herself. The only words so far are DaDa and Baba - still waiting for Mama! This next month will be filled with her first Thanksgiving and Christmas. We're already dreading the house being taken over by toys!!

See how quick I am?!

Check-up

Addisyn had a doctors appointment for her last 1/2 of the flu shot. She's gained exactly 1 lb since her last appointment, so she's at 21 lbs 13.5 oz. Now that Addisyn is very mobile, she's keeping Brad and I very busy! Over the weekend she thought she ought to wake up in the middle of the night to practice her new skills (felt like life with a newborn again), but luckily she's back to her old self!

She's crawling!!!

Addisyn finally decided to take off this afternoon and crawl more than just 2 steps! Its so cute!!! She kept crawling towards my plate!

Addisyn is 7 mos old!!!

Another month has gone by and we're one month closer to the big 1! Addisyn is still the best baby. She brings so much joy to our household! During the past month she's learned how to manuever across the room, but still can't crawl forward! She tries so hard, but her little legs just don't want to go yet. She's also trying to pull herself up onto her knees, but can't get her feet under herself yet. Her babbling is now turning into words, dada being the only one so far! I've introduced her to a wide variety of fruits and veggies, and she is far from a picky eater. She's now eating a lot of her dinner from what Brad and I are having. And if she's not being fed quick enough, she lets you know! Addisyn still naps 3 times a day, we're not complaining about that, and sleeps anywhere from 9-11 hrs a night without waking. We're so thankful to have a baby that sleeps!!! Addisyn goes back to the pediatrician for her second round of the flu shot in 2 1/2 weeks, and then won't be seen till her 9 month check-up.

"Dada"

Yup, you guessed it! Addisyn is now saying dada! She started it this morning while the three of us were lying in bed, and has been doing it nonstop since. Now if we can get her to say mama...
