6 Month Checkup But Almost 7 Months

Look at this baby. I know I'm just her mom, but isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen? I just can't seem to keep my lips off her. I love everything about her. She has brought so much joy to our little family. Her calm personality helps us all step back and settle down. Don't get me wrong, she also has a feisty side but only when she's hungry or has just had enough with her sisters. 

Molly and Elley just love her to pieces. "Can I hold Addison?" is Elley's first question in the morning and the last question before she goes to bed. She carts Addison around like she been babysitting for years. I have to remind Elley that Addison isn't going to learn much if we carry her around all day. When Addison was learning how to roll over Elley would sit on the floor right beside her and yell for me to look every time she was close to rolling, and if Addison was having a hard time getting over Elley would help her over. I love how much the girls love Addison, I mean come on...what's not to love!

We had Addison's 6 month check up a few days ago. It was more like 6 3/4 month check up. The month of December was a little crazy and getting her into the doctor was just one more thing to do. Anyway, this little buggy is 14lbs and 1oz and 24 3/4 long. That's the 10% for weight and 5% for height. What a little bug! Well, someones got to be in the 10th and 5th percentile. Oh yeah, and her head circumference is smack dab in the middle at 55%

She is now a great sleeper, thank goodness because I thought I was going to lose it there for a few months. I had to let her cry it out a few times and she got the picture. I was a tough process but worth it in the end.

She is rolling over both ways. Reaching, grabbing, holding just about anything she can. She loves to chew on her fingers, as you can see from one of her pictures and she loves toys that crinkle. She sits up all by herself and is really good at arching her back when she's mad.   

Okay, I love her!
