11 Months Old!

Oh my gosh, can everyone believe that Addie was 11 months old yesterday. Gosh, time sure does fly by. It makes me sad that Addie is growing so fast. I love her fun filled energy and little personality that is developing, but I miss that little tiny baby girl too. Of course we would not change it for the world and no there are no plans for another baby anytime soon. Ha!

Well what is she doing at 11 months old. She is just babbling away and she totally crawls as fast as she can away from us when she puts something in her mouth that she should not have. She giggles while she crawls away too! It is a little game to her. She is also taking more and more steps. She is always pushing her little lion toy around the room now. Grammy and Poppy she is no longer afraid of it and she can cruise pretty fast now. I promise to post pictures soon, she was to quick today to catch a good picture. She is quite the little music girl too, she is always playing her toy piano. Thanks to Drew and Kylie for the piano.

The newest thing that Addie is doing is going to bed on her own. We have stopped rocking Addie to sleep against her mommy's desire to keep rocking her forever and ever. She has been going to bed on her own for about a week now and what a good girl she is. She does cry for a short time and then she is off to sleep. Each night she cries less and less. The funny thing or you could call it the pathetic thing is that she stops crying after a few minutes, but then she just sits in the corner of her crib pouting. She has fallen asleep many nights while sitting up in the corner of the crib. The other night she was holding the bar on the crib with one hand while her head was resting on this little dog toy that hangs in the crib and she was fast asleep!! We so need to get a picture, but that will wake her. She is pretty quick to coax to lying down and going to sleep from her sitting up position. A few nights we have woken her up from our giggling. I guess it is her strong will to not want to go to sleep. I say her quirky habits are definately from her daddy. HA! I know it is more likely that they are from her mommy. No comments necessary, I know the reality.

Well we had Addie's pictures done this week. Yes it is for her one year pictures, but at 11 months. Yes, I am aware that we are a month early, but that worked best for planning. Check out the blog under friends on our page for Lindsey Turner Photography. I am not a fan of the family photos, but that is not due to the photography as it is to bad pictures of Addie's mommy. Scroll down to Addie's friend Baity's pictures too (just below), as there is a pic of Addie and Baity together at the end of hers. It is sooo cute. Lindsey takes such good pictures. We would certainly recommend her. Well will keep everyone posted on the new antics of Addie. We have been busy planning her birthday party. She turns one on 9/24/08 at 5:57am. How has a year past already! Birthday party invitations will be mailed soon. All of Addie's friends should mark their calendar for 9/28/08 at 4pm.
