Addie is 8 months old!

On January 3rd, Addie turned 8 months old!  She's a happy little girl, but already has an opinion about things!  She makes us laugh with her grins.  She loves to clap along to "If you're happy & you know it, clap your hands".  She is very attentive to her surroundings & tries to watch everything, including Josh!!!  She gets so excited when she sees him...that just melts my heart!

Addie is still a great sleeper & sleeps 11-12 hours each night.  She is still taking 3 naps at home (on the weekends) but not at school.  The morning & mid-day naps are typically 2 hours each and the late afternoon nap is about an hour long.  At school, she's lucky if she gets an hour nap, most times its two 30-minute naps...so she's a little fussy and tired in the evenings.

Addie is eating more & more foods.  She's got 3 teeth now and working on #4.  She's got the two on the bottom and one of her eye teeth on the top.  #4 is the other eye tooth...no signs of the middle top teeth yet.  Seems weird to me, but the pediatrician said every child is different, so we'll just have to wait for the middle ones to push through.  She really loves sweet potatoes and would eat applesauce and bananas at every meal if we offered it to her!  She gobbles those up.  She's not a huge fan of broccoli or black beans, but she'll eat them. 

Addie is trying really hard to get up on all fours and when she does, she'll do a little rocking back & forth before falling back on her belly.  She moves around a lot in her crib though by rolling around.  It won't be too long before she's mobile!
