Goofing around with Mommy!

8 1/2 mo. She broke into Jake's new toys and it testing them out... and hamming it up too!

clapping!

Addy has figured out how to clap. She loves it! She is very proud of herself. She has been putting her hands together for a while now, and has finally figured out how to make noise with them :-)
Papa has taught her the "snake tounge". She sticks out her tounge and puts it in her mouth... in and out, in and out. Its very funny and ridiculous looking!
She also gives "fake smiles". She gives them genuinely, so technically it's a polite/real "fake smile". She shows her upper gums and puts her head back and grins big! I have to get it on video or something!
She's growing up fast...

Family Fun Time!

Addy is 8mo old now! She is chatting up a storm! She is such a happy baby! She can go fom laying down to sitting up, and loves to pull herself onto her knees. She would LOVE to walk, but we aren't quite there yet. She has no interest in crawling, although she does get in the crawl position. She just rolls and scoots to get where she needs to go and she is content with that. She is interested in every sound and all the new stuff around her she has yet to discover! Addy loves phone and the remote and the wii controllers. Her favorite toy is still a water bottle. A paper plate can keep her occupied for quite a while as well! She has tried watermelon, honeydew, cantelope, along with many veggies. She gets a funny face, yet returns to have more! She does great in her stroller, kickin back and relaxin'. She is so much fun! She knows what mama and dada mean. She is also saying nana, doodoodoo, a-goo, a-duh duh. She loves to squeal and scream in delight! They are great noises to hear.

She still has no teeth. She has quite and active tounge. She can twirl it, fold it, stick it in and out like a snake. She smacks her lips, occasionally snorts, and lifts her arms to be picked up! She can walk with assistance. She is a great joy!
