Milestones!

Addison is now sitting up! She turned six months yesterday and decided today it was finally time to show us her skills. Her longest run was only for about three minutes but that is way better than the 15 seconds we were at a few weeks ago!

She's so proud of herself! I had to bribe her with some new pretty pink PJ's from gymboree in order for her to sit for me, but she is a female and it worked!

Cute story from today... Mom and I were shopping for Addison's six month picture outfit for next week and I found these little snuggly blankets that have a stuffed animal attached. My friend Christie's daughter uses them to go to sleep, so I thought it'd be worth a try. So Mom and I show Addie a cat one and she reaches for it and kisses it on the mouth three times until I finally said "Ok, I'll buy it!". Then the little booger didn't want to have anything to do with it once we were out in the car... She tried to pull the kissing trick on a bright dress at Babies R' Us a little later but I didn't fall for it this time.


I started Addie back on solids today. We had taken a break from it partially due to my laziness and partially because I thought her gassy tummy might be from them. Addie must have really missed it because she ate two little bowls of rice cereal and a little bit of pears. I couldn't find Addie's sippy cup so I just let her drink pear juice from a cup and she thought she was SO big! Addie has gotten pretty good with drinking from a normal cup. I try it from time to time and now she seems to have gotten the hang of it as long as I'm holding the cup and she doesn't make a huge mess anymore.
I had forgotten about my boppie until I saw Avery using it, so I pulled it out tonight once she started getting tired of sitting up and got a few more minutes out of her and I didn't have to worry about her falling back and hitting her head on the hardwood!
We are so proud of Addie's newest achievement! I can't believe how fast this time is flying, before we know it she'll be a little toddler!

Yay Addie! It took Taylor forever to be able to sit up, and when she finally did, she usually sat on her knees instead of her bottom. It's just like a girl to go shopping and HAVE to have something and then not use it after she buys it.. haha! That's funny that she tried to kiss the dress, too!
