Tuesday Tidbits.

My sister-in-law does this and I am TOTALLY copying her.

Sorry, Kailee.

But I think it is a really fun way to remember the little details that might not be big enough to make it onto the blog otherwise.

So here we go....

1. She is a dancing maniac. If music is on she dances. 

She will even stop mid crawl and bounce her cute little bum. It is so fun!

2. My mom bought her a stroller/walker and she pushes it all over the place. 

I can't believe she is getting so big. She will be walking any time now.

3. If you start singing "patty cake" she will clap along.

4. She is the pickiest eater in the history of all babies. 

Okay, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but I can't get her to eat 

anything but the Gerber graduate treat things. 

Kind of a pain.

5. She has started sticking her tongue out a lot.

I have no idea why, but she is starting to get chapped lips.

No fun.

Swimming Lessons.

Addie started swimming lessons last week.

We've gone twice now.

She basically just thinks it is a really big bathtub, but it is fun for us to have something to do.

She absolutely loves it!

Kicks, laughs, and splashes the whole time.

We learn how to get in and out of the pool.

We do back floats, front floats, and we swim on noodles and boards.

The teacher tries to make us blow bubbles. Definitely not Addie's favorite thing.

But we sure do have a lot of fun!

Nine Months.

Today is a big day for Addie.

She turned 9 months old.

Which means she has officially been out of my belly as long as she was in it.

Ha. Kinda weird.

Anyways,

at nine months she....

Dances to all kinds of music now. Not just the ones on her toys.

Claps when she gets excited.

Is a turbo crawler.

Walks along our furniture. She's getting really good at it.

Is starting to cuddle more. She has never been a very cuddly baby, but she is starting to now and I LOVE it!

Sleeps on her belly. Kind of scares me.

Takes two naps a day.

Says dada and mama. But she only says mama when she is fussy.

Doesn't really like baby food anymore. She would rather have "real" food.

Weighs a whopping 17 lbs.

Is 27 inches tall.

Still only has two teeth.

Still fits into her carters 3-6 month onsies.

Other than that she is pretty much right on track as far as sizes go.

Started swimming lessons last week and LOVES them! (Post to come)

Is ticklish and loves to play with her dad.

Likes to go to the store. She loves checking out all the people.

She usually bounces and smiles the whole time she is in the cart.

When we tell her no in a really serious voice, she usually just laughs at us and tries again.

She is very persistent.

Has such a fun little sassy personality.

We just love it and we just love her!

Birds Eye.

We had to move Addie's crib down a couple notches.

She pulls herself up on everything and I was paranoid that she was going to fall right out.

I can't believe she's getting so big.

We got a video monitor as a gift.

Ummm... yeah, it is fabulous.

We used to just set it in the crib with her and she wouldn't bother it,

but now she just plays with it the whole time and won't go to sleep.

So I decided to make a little shelf for the monitor and now we have the birds eye view.

Love it.

But you wouldn't believe how often I catch her doing this....

And this....

or even just this...

Little Stinker!

So glad we can now properly use our little monitor!
