90 seconds of silliness

We had Addie's 9 month appointment this week. She is now 29 inches (about 85%) and 19 lbs (about 50%) and is doing well on all accounts. She got two vaccinations and didn't even make a peep! No crying!

What is on Addie's list of accomplishments lately? She's an expert waver now--no more arm flaps, it's a very distinguished, almost beauty queen-esque type wave. She claps a lot, especially when she's proud of herself. She makes kissy noises when she hears kisses, and when we say "Blow kisses, Addie" and blow her a kiss, she'll kiss the back of her hand (still trying to capture that one on video).

But most of all, she continues to crack us up with her "talking" and her silliness:

9 months in, 9 months out

Addie is 9 months old! She has now spent as much time outside of me as she spent in :)

She's very mobile these days--pulling up on everything and scooting (yes, still scooting--not sure she's ever going to be an official "crawler" but scooting gets her around quite nicely!) all over the new place. We can't even dress her in dresses anymore because she gets stuck as she scoots around, so in this month's photo shoot she's sporting some overalls.


Here I come!


Breakfast giggles


Can you see the teeth? She also has one coming in on the top! The drooling has returned.


Addie's channeling Bono even sooner than Steve did.




We put her on the chair for the official month picture. After a few happy arm flaps...




...she was done with sitting and ready to get up and be on the move.


Do you want to read a book?


Okay...

...ooh, is that an ice cream cone?

um...if you're not going to give me real ice cream, I'm gonna do something else...


...off to explore elsewhere...
