There has been a lot going on this month and Addie has been handling it like a champ. We went to Arimo for Adam's ordination as a Deacon Aug 24th. It was nice to all be there together. The Bare's left their reunion early to come for the day. It's always fun to see them. Their kiddos are growing up so fast! It makes me feel old! Once again I wish we lived closer to watch them in all their activities.
Joe and I left for 7 days to California Sept 7 (we stayed at a motel Sunday night for the early flight) and came home Sept 13th in the evening. We were so eager to see our baby girl! Addie stayed with Kevin and Rachel at night and for naps, and then played at my mom and dad's for the day. They said she was an angel the whole time and only woke up once,which was Friday night. That was a huge relief for me, I think I was more traumatized by being away from her!
She seemed to warm up to the men of the family. The last couple of visits she seems nervous around Kevin and Grandpa Hebdon. But during the week she spent a lot of one on one time with Kevin, chatted with Grandpa Hebdon and let him feed her. It's always great for her to spend time with family and get to love them.
She spent alot of time with Grandma Hebdon and as always, Grandma is an immediate favorite with her grandkids. She enjoyed her boy cousins, especially Caleb who played with her a lot. He is 5 yrs old and goes to preschool a couple of days a week for a few hours. So he was around a lot and they were good buddies.
Milestones:
- We went to a restaurant and she helped me eat my spaghetti, including noodles! It was the first time I gave her small noodles, and she even slurped them. It was so cute! and unexpected. She is really enjoying big people food and so I am trying to gain the courage to feed her more things she can pick up on her own....I am scared of the messes!
- She is now enjoying some fruit. I am excited about that.
- She beyond loves to click her tongue. She can go on forever just clicking away.
- She says dadda alot. Though I doubt she means anything by it. But there are times she looks at Joe and says Dadda. Melts both our hearts.
- She can cruise the furniture and is able to sit down on her own. Pretty exciting that she does that well. we have heard sitting can be difficult.
- She has no fear! She will hold on to our hands or the furniture and let go for a few seconds. Sometimes she comes down pretty hard but she rarely cries. She laughs and gets up to try again. She can now stand on her own for 5 seconds and sit down gracefully.
- She now crawls up us and grabs our legs to ask to be picked up. It's pretty cute except when I am cooking. Because I it's so hard to hold her and not get her burnt or fingers cut on cans while I am opening them. I do enjoy her being in the kitchen with me. It will be fun when she gets old enough to stand on a chair and help me.
- Her stats from her ninth month check up Sept 29th: 22 lbs 2.5 oz, 29.25 in long
Her at the restaurant on her 9th month mark. Just before she tries the spaghetti with noodles.
Daddy with Addie and his girls. Addie adores Silky and has learnt how to be gentle with her. Silky has her moments where she is constantly rubbing up against Addie. We are hoping they will be good friends.
Enjoying her cruising skills.
