Funny Girl...

I've got some good Addie stories to share. She turned 8 months last week and is acting like she's a toddler already. She's standing a whole lot more on her own and doing a good job of lowering herself to the ground without falling. She hates wearing hats now and pulls them off immediately unless I distract her and help her forget there is one on her head. Diaper changes are a nightmare now too since she rolls over right away and crawls off- she's got more important things to do.

Addie is still avoiding food like the plague. Some nights she'll surprise me and eat some carrots, but most nights, she only eats what SHE can put in her mouth. Last night, I got tired of her crying at me (with her mouth closed) everytime I'd bring the spoon near her mouth, so I just gave her the spoon and let her "explore" feeding herself. She decided to finger paint with it instead. She went straight to the bath and the walls had to have a good scrub down too.

Everytime it's bath time, one of us starts the bath water while she's in the living room or kitchen. In no time, she's peeking her head into the bathroom with a great big grin. She loves bathtime and has learned to associate the water with that special time.

Now Addison is using her "walker" to get around. It's funny when she hits the couch or the fireplace though b/c she doesn't know how to turn it around so she pushes really hard and then gets mad. Here's a video of her cruising around the family room.
