10/2/08 Photos of Addy:Part 2

I had to split this up because I always get carried away with too many pictures for one post!

10/2/08 Photos of Addy

We took Addy to Portrait Innovations last Thursday for a late 9-month photo shoot. She did great! Here  are some of the many pictures we ended up getting.

Look-Alike Meter

This is the second time I've done one of these, but the first time was a few months ago and the results were 50/50.  I guess this could explain why some people say she looks like Nick and some say she looks like me.  I updated it just to see if she's starting to look anymore like either one of us as she gets older instead of being split 50/50.  This thing now says she's looking more like me by a whopping 4%, but I don't know.  What do you think?

Can you believe how much she's changed?  Nick and I can't believe how fast her hair has gotten so much thicker and longer.  She's still working on walking, but has tremendous balance and is very brave when it comes to letting go of things while she's standing.  I'm going to have to get a video of her and I playing this little game where I tell her I'm going to get her and she takes off in a dead sprint in one of her little toys that's kind of like a walker.  It's hilarious because she squeals and cracks up laughing as she's running away from me!  

She woke up with her first cold this morning...poor baby!  Her little nose is so stuffy/runny off and on that she has to take a few intermissions to breath out of her mouth while eating her bottle.  We've been very lucky to go the past 9 months without anything like this, but it's so sad to see her sick.  The cold doesn't seem to be slowing her down much though as she's still as goofy as ever.  She giggled at me for a good 10 minutes tonight every time I "mooooed" at her.  Nick would try to do it to her and she'd just stare at him, but then I'd do it and she'd hysterically start giggling again!  We love her more and more every single day!

Slowly but surely!

Aunt Beth took these pictures of Addy swimming about 2 months ago, but you know how good I am at updating this thing!  I will work on posting some more recent ones of her as she'll be 9 months old in just a few days!  

Time Flies

It's been quite a while since I've put some of my thoughts out there so I figured you are about due to hear some of them now!  

I have started a new schedule with my job so I'm now able to stay home with Addison on Tues, Wed, and Thurs.  I go into the office on Mondays and Fridays while my mom keeps her and I  work from home once Nick gets home in the evenings to make up some extra hours.  It has been kind of hectic so far because Nick's work schedule has been kind of crazy, but I'm hoping that will soon change so I can get into a routine.  I can't complain though since I am able to spend more time with her and enjoy her more than I was when I was working Mon-Fri at the office.  I am grateful for even having that option available for me.

Addison is just a little over 8 months old now and just keeps on surprising us with something new every single day.  The kid is a dare devil and constantly keeps us on our toes!  She loves climbing anything and/or anyone over and over again.  Nick had been saying when she was younger how he thought she was going to end up being a girly-girl, but it appears as if she's going to be far from a girly-girl!  She's mastered pulling herself up and walks along the sides of the sofa using her hands so I'm assuming it shouldn't be much longer before she's running around this place like a mad woman.  

Nick and I have experienced so much with her already and look forward to seeing what each new day will bring!
