8 month old Addie

I know, I know. She is just the cutest little thing EVER! Don't you just want to squeeze her and kiss her? I do! And I do, every day.

Well, this is it. Addie and I have had several talks and have decided that 8 months old is it. She will stay this age and size forever. I will even change poopy diapers that leak all over everyday if it means I can keep her like this.

Her eyes are doing great just one month after surgery!

She is crawling around everywhere and pulling herself up to a standing position to everything that she can. No matter how short or tall it is.
This is one of my favorite things she does with her mouth. She makes an "O" or "oooooo" sound when she does it. Sometimes it is happy and sometimes it is not happy. But either way, I love it!

Addie is a funny baby. She hardly ever puts things in her mouth. She plays with them in her hands and looks at them, and then once in awhile tastes it, but really she doesn't put much in her mouth, which I thought was odd for a baby. But I am not complaining :)

She is a happy little girl and she loves chasing the other 3 around. Sometimes the 4 of them will crawl around laughing and she will be right in the middle, thinking she is a big kid too.

She is a very intense bottle drinker. She holds onto the top of her bottle and pushes down on it, so I have to hold tight to keep it up so she can drink it. She never relaxes and seems to enjoy her bottle, but is not happy when it is gone. Sometimes she cries or growls. Silly. I call her a bear. She is funny with her grrrroooowwwwllll. It is not always a mad growl, sometimes it is her just being funny. She likes to blow on my cheek too and then she will give me kisses (usually with her tongue). I just love her!

I found her standing up in her crib after a nap one afternoon. She thought it was great!

Love you, Addie. No more growing!
