So at 7 months, Addison...-has learned to crawl!!! She has been crawling for about 2 weeks now and is getting pretty good at it now. At first she wouldn't go on the hard floors, but now she wants to crawl where we are. So if we walk into the kitchen, she'll follow...even if it means having a harder time crawling on the hard floor :)
-can also pull herself up to stand. She figured this out one night while crying in her crib trying to fight sleep. We walked in there to settle her back down and what do you know, she was standing! So, turns out we had to move the mattress down the next day.
-wants so badly to walk. She just needs to get the balance thing down first :)
-is starting to say 2 syllable sounds. Her favorite is ah-da.
-visited the Easter Bunny and did a great job! She was a little unsure about him at first, so we just let her watch for a little bit, then she sat on his lap and even smiled for the camera! (I'll post a picture of it once we get them. Turns out that an actual photography place took the pictures so we had to wait a week to get them...and pay a whole lot more than we should have!)
-hasn't quite figured out how to bounce, so she sticks her butt in and out while keeping her legs completely straight. She has started to figure out she can bounce in her exersaucer, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she gets it down.
-is a very busy little girl. We thought she'd be more content once she started to crawl, but we were wrong. She wants to move onto the next thing, and gets frustrated when she can't figure it out! Looks like she has some of her daddy's personality...they're both not content sitting, they need to be doing something at all times :)
-had solid food for the first time. She's been watching us eat and even reaches for what we are eating, so I thought I'd try giving her the Gerber Graduates cereal. She's been practicing picking them up with her pointer finger and thumb (which was a little bit of a challenge at first) and she's getting the hang of it now. It was funny to watch her eat it for the first time. She wasn't sure about the texture, and got a funny look on her face, but it didn't take her long to figure out she needed to chew it. She's becoming a big fan of them now!
-absolutely loves our cat! If only the feelings were mutual...haha! When she sees Chesney she smiles and starts to crawl toward her. Once Addison gets too close, Chesney runs away...but usually returns and finds a new place to lay and watch. The first time Chesney realized Addison could crawl compltetly startled her. She came and layed about 3 feet away from Addison, thinking she wouldn't be bothered...but when Addison started crawling toward her she didn't know what to do. She just kept laying there with a concerned look on her face and the moment Addison touched her paw she jumped in the air and was out of there! She keeps her distance now!
-has 4 teeth. The last 2 are on the top and just started coming in this week. She's been a little fussy off and on, but they don't seem to bother her too bad.
-fights sleep like crazy! She'll be almost asleep in her crib, but the moment she wakes up a little and realizes she's sleeping, she has to get up and either crawl, sit up, or stand up. It makes letting her cry it out hard because she won't lay herself back down. What a stubborn little girl!
-is not as cooperative taking pictures as she used to be...and I know it'll only get worse :) She wasn't content sitting on the floor for the pictures and wanted to crawl away, but the moment I put her in the little rocking chair she was fine (at least for a minute or two).
