8 Months Old!

Yesterday, Addison turned 8 months old!  I was just looking back at some of our previous blogs and it is so neat to see how she has grown over the months.  What she's been up to lately.....
  • Still loves bath time, but plays in the tub on her belly now.  She loves to kick her feet and splash, splash, splash!
  • Still scooting like crazy!  Occasionally she'll get up on all fours, but then I think she remembers that she is much faster at scooting (doing the army crawl). 
  • She is such a little explorer all of a sudden.  We have had to do some serious baby proofing! 
  • Loves to watch birds!  We have lots of trees in our yard, and an insane amount of bamboo....which means an insane number of birds.  Addison loves to go out and look at the birds...and the trees.  Several days this past week I have come home from work to find her and Adam wandering around the yard just exploring...an absolutely precious sight to my eyes
  • Still loves her jumper and pretty much all of her toys!  She doesn't really have a favorite, she just loves to play with them all.
  • Is beginning to realize that Da Da Da Da Da shortened to just 2 Da Da's actually means something :)

  • Has been sleeping a little longer for the past couple of weeks...11-12 hours
  • Not much has changed with her sizes and eating patterns, although we did start giving her "puffs" a couple days ago, which she LOVES.  We have also been trying to give her a sippy cup randomly for a couple of months now.  She doesn't have much interest in it, but I haven't been very consistent.  I'll have to work on that :)
  • So many people have been saying to us lately, "she looks just like her mommy!" .....I still don't see it??
  • Still the sweetest, happiest, most precious baby I have ever met in my life!!  :)
Happy 8 months, sweet Addison!!

Addison's first babysitters

This past Saturday night, Adam and I headed out for the first time without our little "butter bean".  Everyone keeps asking me if I cried, but I knew she was safe with Grandma Jane-Jane and Grandpa Gerald, so there were no need for tears.  Plus, they were babysitting at our house and I knew I'd see her in just a few hours, so it wasn't so bad.  We went to Adam's 10 year class reunion and had so much fun!  There was a great crowd there, at the City Hotel and Bistro.  It was so good to see everyone!  I graduated just one year ahead of Adam, so I knew a lot of people at the reunion too, even though it was for the c/o 2000.  Here are a couple of snapshots...I am hoping to get more pictures from Lorie's camera to add to my blog, but this is all I have for now... Me & Adam: Me & Sarah: Me & Lorie: .....thanks to Lorie, I have a few more pics to share...

July 26, 2011...Addison's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!  I don't even know what to say.  There are so many things I have thought about writing for this blog, but right now all I can think to say is THANK YOU JESUS for choosing Adam and myself to watch over your precious baby Addison Leigh!  And THANK YOU JESUS for the blessing that she continues to be each and every day to so many people! I just can't believe it has been a whole year since we were at the hospital welcoming our new baby to the world.  And now here she is standing all by herself... She's still not walking on her own, but has been doing the bear walk a lot lately... She wears 12-18 month clothes, size 3-4 diapers, and size 3 shoes.  She started drinking big girl milk (soy milk) a couple of days ago, so no more formula!  She is still a GREAT eater!  And she still will let the whole world know if her belly is hungry!  She still LOVES to dance more than anything in the world!  She added a new word to her "vocabu
