Halloween Weekend!

I can't believe how big Addi is getting everyday (I think I say that in every post I write, but it's so true!!!)! She is eating real people food, talking (just syllables ) all of the time, crawling every where, pulling up on everything, and trying to walk. I want her to slow down. I know she is going to be all grown up and heading to college in a blink of an eye and I just wish so badly that I had a pause button. I treasure this time with her and I don't want it to end. She is so much fun right now. I love watching her learn because I can see her wheels turning. Just look at how adorable she is!!

This week has been a lot of fun! Tuesday I took Addi to Gymboree in her costume (AKA...Addisaurus) and she was so cute. She crawled all over the place and made her Ah-Ah-Ah noise (part of the reason why she is a dinosaur this year).

She has changed so much since the first time I took her to Gymboree! She is such a secure baby. She crawls around with her friends, chases balls, chews on an

imals, and goes after Gymbo, then she will come over to Michael and/or me for a quick hug and a kiss (to make sure we are still there) and then she is off again! I'm so glad that she is secure and not anxious avoident like me.

Anyway...check out her adorable costume!!!

This picture was taken at the pumpkin patch in Florida. How adorable is my baby?!?!?

Happy Halloween everyone! Bye for now <3

Update

Hi everyone!

Wow it has been a LONG time since our last post. It's not easy to find time any more! Michael took Addi to the grocery store so that gave me a few minutes of free time :-)

We just got back from a trip to Florida (without Michael because he had to work). The plane trips were hard just because now that Addi is moving, it's hard to keep her in one place for 3 hours. On top of that, there was only one of us to entertain her.

We had a great time with my parents! We went to the beach (Addi HATED the ocean because it was so loud and she hated the sand even more!). Addi had a blast in the pool with Grandpa and we had fun shopping with Grandma. It was a great visit and we miss them SO much! We can't wait until my mom comes back next month.

I love having this year off because that means that I can spend time with my mom every single month! It's wonderful. I also love spending every day with my beautiful baby! She has changed so much since she was born. I still can't believe that she is 9 months old. I really wish I could pause time and keep her this age forever. She is SO much fun! Don't get me wrong...I have always loved her and loved being with her, but I really love it now! She is so curious and into everything. I love watching her move with a purpose; if she wants something she goes after it. She knows if you are hiding something from her and she will get it from you. She throws fits if she can't have what she wants, she laughs with me when I laugh, she loves books and stuffed animals, and she likes to be with us. She smiles at everyone she sees and she loves attention. Everyone tells us that she is so beautiful and happy! She really is the best baby on the face of the planet!

We are still waiting on her first tooth. Every time she messes with her gums I think we will see a tooth soon, but I have been saying that since she was 4 months old. Everything goes in the mouth and she chews on everything she can! The doctor told us that she has been teething since she was 4 months old, but that was 5 months ago and we are still waiting. I think she will get 5 all at once because I know they are there. I wish they would just make an appearance already because I know those pesky little things bother her. I really hate it when she is in pain.

Well...Michael and Addi should be back any minute. Bye for now!
