Our little girl is 9 months...crazy! For some reason, that seems old to me, like you may as well round it to 1 year. But, I'm not quite ready to start referring to her age in years (although I HAVE started to think about ideas for her b-day, and I have the cutest theme in mind!!)!!
Little miss Addalyn still isn't interested in crawling, however, she has made huge progress in this area and Jessica (daycare) and Aaron think it is a matter of days/weeks. I am not getting my hopes up...because she also just learned that she can roll to wherever she wants to be. The little stinker.
I will be honest and say that I have been VERY nervous about the fact she isn't crawling. Aaron tells me that I shouldn't worry - and my response is, I'm the mom - I'm SUPPOSED to worry! (right??!!) I sorta expected it by this age, so I was worried that there might be something wrong. But after talking to several people and doing my own research, I have learned that there is no need for concern. I do know that some kids never crawl -- but I have also heard that is not very good for eye coordination, so I hope she does crawl for a little bit, even if it is like a week!
She is starting to pull herself up on furniture, and she loves to stand! She's definitely starting to figure things out...the other day she was awake from her nap but happy, so I just waited a bit. When I went in there, she had figured out how to sit up on her own, which she hasn't done since she doesn't crawl --- and she had a toy in her hand that is usually on the opposite end of her crib. The interesting thing was she was in the center of the crib, not near the edge.
Addy still only has her 2 bottom teeth. She does REALLY well with eating with just those 2 teeth. We discovered this weekend that she LOVES blueberry waffles!! :) She pretty much enjoys anything you put in front of her (EXCEPT the jarred stage 2 meets...that are ground up). She gags at those and looks at you like "really, you want me to eat THAT??". I don't blame her...they don't look or smell very appealing!

She is very vocal, as I mentioned at 8 months. Says da, ga, ba, ma sounds and mumbles lots more. She has the cutest little wave goodbye, and the tiniest little giggle. I have no idea how to explain it -- but it is definitely her daddy's giggle. I've tried to get it on video, but everytime that thing comes around she stops doing ANYTHING exciting and just stares at the camera with amazement...so a lot of our videos are of her staring at us as we sound really silly trying to get her to do her fun new things!!
My new cheesy grin I do for mommy when the camera is around...and my 2 bottom teeth!
I love playing on daddy's shoulders!
Addy LOVES mirrors!
The first thing she does in her excersaucer is check herself out in the mirror!
Addy also LOVES shoes...everytime you try to put them on her feet...she wants to play with them instead. Yep, DEFINITELY MY GIRL! She also has a good collection of shoes for a 9 month old...don't worry though, most of these are hand-me downs so I didn't go buy all these shoes for her!! These are the ones she wears most often and are always hanging out by the stairs for when we want to go somewhere.
She has small feet so far -- still fits in a size 2, although she's getting close to moving to a 3.
A few weekends ago we also went to my parents cabin. My parents are finishing the basement of the cabin - with all the grandkids coming along, we have outgrown comfortable sleeping arrangements! So, we all went there and helped them stain the basement walls and trim...and then enjoyed some R&R. I have some other pics from the cabin that might get in another post - but here is Addy enjoying the winter wonderland we live in again!
