Finally Nine

I'm sorry this is so late. I can't believe that I let this month kind of get away from me, but it has been wedding season around here and kind of crazy. Hopefully things will settle down and get back to normal soon. While I was away from the blogging world, Miss Addison turned nine months old on May 20th. Here are some things she has been up to in her ninth month:

• CRAWLING!

• Absolutely not crawling on the tile floor. She will come right up to the edge of the tile and stop and cry/fuss for me to come get her. (Have I ever mentioned her aversion to some textures?)

• Standing up in her crib.

• We had to lower her mattress to the last level. I don't cry easily or get overly sentimental or emotional about things, but seeing her mattress so low made me tear up. It was just one of those moments that I realized how grown up she is getting, and before long she won't be my little baby anymore.

• Seperation anxiety has set in. We had about two weeks of rough nights. She wanted to be held, or rocked, and sometimes she literally just wanted me to stand there and watch her fall asleep. Since she has never been one to enjoy being held or rocked when she is going down, I kind of tried to look at this as a little blessing in disguise that I was being given time to rock and cuddle her before she is no longer a little baby anymore. Luckily, her nighttime seperation anxiety didn't last very long, because I don't know how long my good attitude could have lasted. :)
  

• Addison started seeing a new pediatrician. We all loved her!
  

• Wearing 6-9 month clothes, size three diapers, and size 2 shoes. (Target says size 2 is for 3-6 months...is this way off for anyone else?)
  

• 17lb 10oz which puts her in the 30th percentile and 27.5 in. which is in the 70th percentile.

Happy nine months, Addison Elizabeth!! :)
