Six Months Old!

Addie thinks everything is funny!

Addie is the best little gift I could have ever received and I can't imagine life without her. She turned six months old today and it feels like she has been here forever but yet it also feels like just yesterday we were leaving the hospital. She is a joy to be around, always smiling, laughing, and making me laugh.

Addie LOVES to give kisses and gives them freely. She grabs my face, pulls me to her, and lays a big wet slobber kiss on my cheek and my heart just melts. She is tender hearted but is a loudmouth, she loves to play, dance, jump around, and cuddle. Addie is close to sitting up, she loves to stand and can take steps if we hold her arms. She is trying to roll from her back to her belly but only makes it about half way. During tummy time she desperately tries to move around with her toes, and can roll from tummy to back. She does really well with eating from a spoon and can drink from a sippy cup (though she much rather prefers to nurse).

Addie loves to watch people and is fun (most of the time) to go shopping with. I pull her out of her carseat and sit her on my hip and we can shop all day. She smiles and watches everyone around us, tries to grab clothes, groceries, or whatever else is near. I have starting bringing a toy in my purse for her to hold onto so she doesn't grab everything off the shelves, and it proves to work so far! Everyone around us loves on her (often to my dismay-don't kiss her you stranger) and makes sweet comments and she of course eats it up and gives them a big toothless grin.

Addie is a little chatterbox. She chatters all the time and really sweet talks with her binky. In the mornings when she wakes up she just chatters and coos until I get her from the bed. She gets so excited over the littlest things and shrieks in joy. She just loves life.

Addie loves other babies. She is constantly trying to kiss them and touch their faces which doesn't always make the other baby happy. I can't wait for Addie to meet cousin Avery and see them interact.

I am so blessed to have this beautiful little girl as mine, I love staying home with her and watching her grow and learn. I love her so much I could burst!
