Half Birthday, Come & Gone

Addison's six month birthday was on November 17. Sorry I didn't post sooner, but we were sure to take lots of pictures so we could share.

A day in the life of a six month old AMK:
  • Drooling. We think she's teething, but I feel as if we've been thinking that for a long time now. Months. :) 
  • Rolling. Addison continues to roll, but it's become second nature. She can also pivot on an axis so that she can reach things she can't otherwise reach. Mobility becomes more of a reality every day.
  • Sitting! As of TODAY, Addison is officially sitting. It's good to have mom or dad close by, but a couple of cushy pillows will do in a pinch. This is very exciting!
  • Growing out of her bathtub. We have a counter-top tub that we use for Addison. She's almost too long for the tub, so we'll be off to the big-girl tub soon! We're trying to wait until she gets just a little better at sitting up. (To make it easier on mom & dad of course!)
  • Lots of "talking". She loves to chat, scream (it's not that loud... yet), spit, cluck - new noises come out of her mouth every single day. As does her tongue. It's rare a moment that the babe's tongue is actually IN her mouth.
  • Daycare. Addison loves daycare. She has lots of very nice friends - when I drop her, she's always smiling and happy to be with Miss Carolyn, Lala and all of the other kiddos that make-up Carolyn's Little Angels. We are so fortunate to have found such a nice spot for Addison - we couldn't be happier. (Grandma Joann usually take Addison one day a week, which is also a nice treat! Addison not only gets to see Grandma & Grandpa, but Ike & Minnie (the pooches).) And, when Addison visits Grandma? It's social hour!
  • Sleeping through the night. Addison sleeps through the night, no problem. Twelve hours a night, every night. 
Addison is a happy & healthy little girl. We're so excited for the upcoming holidays. I'm on vacation the entire week (yea!). We are also excited that we'll have the chance to spend Thanksgiving with both of our families this year. What a treat - so fortunate to be close to our loved ones.

Lots of Love!

Ever wonder what Addison looks like without hair? We did...
