Happy Birthday, sweet Addison!

I blinked and my baby turned 1.  I definitely feel a mix of emotions.  I'm sad to be done with all of her baby things but also happy to have made it through a year of sleepless nights, feeding schedules and dirty diapers in one piece!  Happy Birthday to my sweet girl!

Addison is such a happy, sweet, caring and laid back little girl.  She is pretty much a typical second child.  She is the cuddliest little person ever...she just melts us when comes over to one of us and lays her head down on our shoulder.  She loves her family.  She loves her sister and imitates everything she does.  She loves playing with all of Sophia's toys or do whatever she is doing and Sophia can make Addison giggle without even trying!  She is always by mommy's side and definitely loves mom but saves her best smiles and laughs for her daddy!!  Oh, and I can't forget Abby...Addison just loves her dog!  Petting her, climbing on her, pulling her ears, feeding her leftovers...oh and playing in her water bowl is still a favorite!

  One Year Stats:

  • Weight - 24 pounds, 2 ounces (90%)
  • Height - 30 inches (75%)
  • Head - 18 inches (75%)
And here is what's new this month:
  • She has become a fast crawler!  Getting better at walking behind her walker and toys that move and cruising. She has let go a few times and can stand for a few seconds but then falls down.  She does not seem quite ready to walk yet.
  • Very chatty and loud...she has said several new words this month.
  • She can wave, clap and blow kisses!
  • "talks" on the phone 
  • Brushes her hair when you give her a brush and brushes her teeth when you give her a toothbrush.  Tries to stick socks on her foot and rubber bands in her hair :)
  • Still on 2 naps a day.
  • Such a great table food eater, she likes pretty much everything except yogurt.  If Sophia is eating something that Addison is not, she REALLY wants to try some! 
  • No new teeth this month.  She still has 6 total.
  • Diaper changes are so much easier than they were a few months ago.
  • Size 4 diapers and size 18 month clothes
  • Loves climbing the stairs the few times I have let her.
And here are a few photos from this month:
