ZOO

Addie and I had our first visit to the Zoo yesterday. It was really nice out, the cats were walking around, and she was a perfectly behaved little lady. All in all it was a wonderful day. To top it off she said MAMA!
Be still my heart.

P.S. We passed formula, and are moving on to yogurt. I am feeling better about trying new things now that we have that under our belt. Gotta get her ready for her birthday cake!

9 Month Check-Up

Doctor Christine says she looks great, is advanced in mobility, and super cute.

Making Connections

(Addie at her first visit to Fat City Cafe)

Our sweet girl has started figuring things out. She is now able to find her "baby" and get it to show you. This happened in about 2 hours. Apparently if you say baby over and over again she gets it. She is also crawling all over, pulling up on everything, and scooting around in a circle on her bum. Mike and I are mesmerized with everything she does. We took her on her 9th weekend get away to Oysterville this Labor Day weekend, and she was a perfect little lady the whole time. I'll be calling the doctor today to finally discuss supplementing with formula. I am scared to death of this. Wish us luck!

Making Friends

Addie and I attended story time at the Woodstock library on Saturday morning and it was A-MAZ-ING! I will start off by saying that my kid is extremely social. She was the only baby making very loud gremlin like noises during story time and introductions. Everyone found this amusing, so of course she kept doing it. I am hoping to join a moms group because she is so social. She would rather be out and about than at home. Go figure. I don't know anyone like this;)

7 months, teeth, and crawling!

It has finally happened. Addie has teeth. The first one poked its way through on July 1st, now there are two on bottom and one working its way in on top. I have been bit a few times, last night being the worst so far. Thankfully I was halfway asleep when it happened. In addition to teeth, Addie has figured out how to "army crawl". Yesterday was the first day where I sat her down and she worked her way back over to me wanting to be picked up. It is crazy how happy she makes me. She is an amazingly happy baby who loves to go out to dinner, shopping, and just leave the house in general. I could not ask for a better baby. We are approaching the really fun part of her growing up, and it freaks me out how fast it is going. I now get why people have a ton of kids. There really is nothing better in this world.
