Addison is Nine Months Old


I can't believe that Addi is nine months. We are going to be celebrating her first birthday before ya know it! I was waiting to go to her 9 month check up to post, so I would have all of her wonderful stats. This is what Addi is like at 9 months!

*She weighs 9 lbs 8 oz and is 26.75 inches long
*She gets around really fast using her army crawl, which she prefers over crawling.
*She is EXTREMELY weary of strangers...which can be quite embarrassing. If a stranger makes eye contact for too long, she just starts to bawl. It happened to us again at Sam's club today, and the cashier said, "Oh yeah. I remember her." Hahaha
*This also means that she rarely lets anyone else hold her besides me and her dad.
*She sleeps through the night...75% of the time.
*She eats oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, snacks throughout the day, and whole grains and veggies for dinner. She still usually only drinks three 6 oz bottles a day.
*She loves fresh fruit...her favorites are plums, cantaloupe, apples, and bananas.
*She LOVES her Daddy. Seriously, she just lights up whenever he comes in the room. It makes me a little nervous because I didn't think anyone could be more of a daddy's girl than Kendall.
*She wears all different sizes of clothes...some 9 months fit her, some 12months, and some 18 months. You just never know!
*She does awesome on our daily jogs through the park. She usually sleeps for at least half of it and then just enjoys the scenery for the duration.
*She loves playing with her sister, and her sister is a punk 90% and doesn't want to share with her...we are working on it!
*She loves to nuzzle with her pink and brown blanket. Kendall was never really attached to anything, so I think this is adorable.
*She still loves her swing and naps in it daily. She can sit up in when she wants to get out, so I don't know how much longer we will be able to use it. Kendall tries to push her back down while saying, :No, Addi." It's pretty funny. She naps for like an hour and a half in that thing, so I am scared to get rid of it!
*She definitely likes attention and would prefer to be held all the time, which she can't be, so this a constant battle. She cries, but not for too long. Kendall sits there and covers her ears automatically every time Addi starts to cry. K can be pretty dramatic, but Addi can really scream when she wants to.
*I like to say that, "Addi knows that she is our last kid, so she is just milking it." haha
*She got her first cold this past week. She didn't ever really act sick, but I had to use the aspirator on her about 4 times a day. She was a trooper.
*She is a tough cookie that bumps her head on the coffee table about 5 times a day and rarely cries about it.
*She is definitely strong willed.
*We love her sooooo much and cannot wait to see what this next months holds for her.
