Conversation and Dr visit

Yesterday marked a milestone with Addison. We had her first conversation! Well...maybe not REALLY because I don't think she understood what she was saying BUT what she said fit perfectly into the conversation so I am going to say that it is our first conversation together. The story is that Addison had crawled over to my mom yesterday when my mom was eating her breakfast. She picked up Addison and continued to eat. She was examining my mom's breakfast which was oatmeal. I said, "Hey Addison! Do you want oatmeal for breakfast?" She quickly responded with, "Hmmm...BABA!" Her baba is her bottle. That is what we have shortened it to so it is easier for her to say. I just laughed then and went and made her bottle. My mom put Addison down a couple of minutes later and she shouts, "HEY!" in a tone that was a cross between anger and confusion. I guess she thought my mom was going to feed her. I guess this is one of those situations though where you have to be present to understand the hilariousness/beauty of it.

On another note, we FINALLY made it to Addison's 9 month Dr. appointment. We had it scheduled for February 8th but because I had hurt my wrist so badly I wasn't able to take her then. She is growing nicely. Here are her stats:

Height: 29 1/2 inches 95%
Weight: 21 pounds 12 ounces 85%
Head: 46.2cm 95%

She is a healthy baby!!

Spring oh spring...WHERE ARE YOU?

I am SO ready for sunny days and warmer weather. I am tired of staying indoors. It is always so yucky out. Even on a good day you don't know if the weather is going to change in 2 minutes or not. It makes it so hard to go outside with Addison because I have no idea on what to dress her in and then if I go outside it could start raining on us and Addison wouldn't like that very much. Today, for example, I had plans to take Addison to the park (among other plans) so we could get some sun and she could swing. Well, by the time we were both ready to go it had started to sprinkle and had clouded over. So that trip was a bust...it didn't matter though because we still needed to got out to the grocery store and run a few more errands. So we did venture out but we didn't get any sun...sad day. Here are a couple of cute pics of Adders that I have taken as of late:

Oh Addison and her scruncy face. This is a skill that her Grandma Saffell taught her. Now she does it ALL the time.

Sorry for the poor quality of this picture but my phone was the only picture taking device I could find at the moment. Here is the story: I was making my breakfast and I peeked around the corner to check on Addison and when I saw her she had her hands between the box and the T.V. stand trying to get the movies that the box is blocking. Her feet were sticking up in the air and it was REALLY cute. By the time I could get a picture though this is what I got. She is already a monkey and she can barely stand holding on to things! Oh my life...how I love it! :)

Valentine's Day

Today is one of the days of the year when I wish that my husband was a romantic. I am TOTALLY a romantic and would have LOVED to shower him with sweet gifts and a sappy card but I knew that 1) he wouldn't appreciate it and 2) I would get nothing in return. Alas I will have to give him romance lessons. It's a good thing I have the rest of forever to transform him into the romantic man I know he could be! Happy Valentine's Day to you all! :)
