Yes, Addie has been a smiley baby for most of her life, since the very first smiles that her uncle Dan elicited way back when she was a mere 4 weeks old. Besides a few weeks where her sleep at night was at its worst and she was a total grumpola....she really is quite a happy baby.
But then we heard a few people say: "Wow...she NEVER cries, does she?" Um....well, no not never. Addie is still a baby and babies cry when they want or need something, so she cries every single day. Several times a day. Luckily, when we figure out what she wants (sleep, milk, food, water, to chew on my cell phone) she stops crying. The beauty of a blog is that you get to select the photos that go up and so we tend to either select the super-cute-smiley ones or the funny ones. But here's some proof to our readership that Addie does indeed cry.
And she cracks herself up...
And she's learning to wave...much to the delight of the fellow shoppers at Target/Costco/wherever we may be. They say "aww...look at the baby, she's so cute" and she'll reward their adoration with a big arm flap in return.
And she listens intently...usually without blinking! "Uncle" Orin and his brother Tomer came for a visit...
....here Addie is listening to Orin making his famous trumpet noises and watching his silly faces.
And she really loves the pool. Here she is getting ready for her second pool jaunt...this time in her cool rashguard surfer-girl bathing suit.
Laughing with Daddy in the (HOT) sun.
And this girl not only loves swimming in the water, but she loves drinking it. From a sports bottle to a glass, if we're drinking water, she gets very very intent on having a sip for herself. Here's a video of her chugging it down.
And now for the "breaking news"--yesterday we were giving Addie some water from the glass and we heard a strange sound that we hadn't heard before--a sort of "clinking" noise...could it be? A TOOTH? So we stuck our fingers in her mouth and felt...yes folks, a sharp sharp point breaking through the gum. Those gummy toothless smiles that you love so much will be no longer :)

That first pic is a mad cry - don't even see one little tear! But she is still adorable! Kiss her bunches for me
aaaaw, her first tooth! that's so super!!! now let me impart wisdom for the opposite situation. please note: if the tooth fairy keeps forgetting to leave money for the tooth that fell out, eventually the kid will just bring you the tooth and ask for the money directly ;) be prepared, kids are getting smarter these days. ha ha
haha i love this entry. the many faces of Addie. no one likes to see a happy baby cry but I have to admit to have wondered whether Addie does indeed cry and was about to ask you what your secret was.. :-)
A TOOTH! Hooray!
