We took Addison's pictures and stats awhile ago but I just haven't posted them. She is getting to the age where it is really hard to get a good picture of her with her sign. So here's how it worked out...
Look mom - I'll look at you for a quick second and show you how tall I'm getting and how cute I am.Oh goody, look over there, I think I see something...
Wait while I lower myself down...
I still have my eye on the prize...
Oh my goodness, I'm getting closer...
But I'm going to crawl after it...
Yeah - nice you picked me up and placed me where you wanted me, but I don't look that happy about it...
I seriously am trying to get to something else - see ya!
So our days go. She has developed a mind of her own. She actually crawled for the first time on May 8th. But she stands against everything, she walks while you hold her hands, she tries to let go of your hand holding and flings herself in the direction she wants to go - luckily she hasn't face planted yet. She is a tiny monster during church (1-4 church = YUCK). She now has 7 teeth (4 top and 3 bottom). She feeds herself consistently but hasn't quite figured out a sippy cup. She'll eat everything and anything that is offered to her.
She is starting to develop some stranger anxiety - not exactly stranger anxiety but just she has her own will and doesn't want her boundaries crossed or challenged. She will cry if you pick her up and she doesn't want to be, if you pass her and she doesn't want to be, if you make her do something that she doesn't want to do. She cries fairly consistently when you lay her down to change her diaper or clothes. For all her spunk - she is the light in our home. We love the personality she is developing and she is a definite person - not an object to be handled. She exerts her independce and it is refreshing.
She weighs 20.1 pounds and is 28 inches long. She's still getting "skinny" and is now only in the 70th and 65th percentiles for weight and height.
This picture was taken on the day of Addison's 9 months. We spent the day in Logan to help some friends move. Oliver stayed home to study and Addison had a practice dose of Benadryl to see how she would react, more on that later.
