only 3 more months!

Addie babe is 9 months! Say it isn't so! Only 3 more months until my baby turns 1... is that right? I'm pretty sure something is off... because there is no way my newborn is already so old.

She's had a busy month, that's for sure. Getting her first tooth (bottom left), perfecting her pincer grasp and feeding herself, flying to Ohio to visit her Great grandma and grandpa, plus everyone else who could make it. She was a champ flier... and didn't fuss even once, which I'd say is remarkable considering we were on 1 leg of the trip for more than 4 hours. As usual... she was perfect.

These days Addie:

*loves feeding herself yogurt melts and flavored puffs

*loves clapping when we say "Yay!" and also while she eats

*isn't crawling, but is showing signs that she'll start soon

*still loves getting hyper and jumping like crazy in her jumperoo

*is still wearing anything from 0-3m to 6-12m clothing, and size 3 diapers

*takes 4 bottles a day and eats 3 solid food meals a day with a snack somewhere in between

*has a tooth... I never would have guessed she was getting one. Her gums didn't swell, and she acted like her usual happy content self

*is in love with Dean (but who isn't) and just about anyone else who will play with her

*doesn't really have stranger anxiety

*occasionally gives me kisses when I make a kissing sound.

*has enough hair to clip back, and enough for a dorky little pony tail on the top of her head... though I haven't actually done it yet because I think it'd look a little silly

*has brown eyes... they change here and there, sometimes taking a greenish color, but I'm pretty sure they're going to be nice and brown. : )

*is red headed! love it!
