9 Months

This is much later then I wanted to post, but I still want to get it down while I can! On July 22nd, Addy turned 9 months which is INSANE. As always, I feel like she has made leaps and bounds and she is a different girl then she was a month ago. Still, the essentials remain-her beautiful, constant and contagious smiles that seem so big they go beyond her face, her curiosity and fairly even tempered nature, and her love and often met need to cuddle. I still can't believe she is ours, and I would never want to go back to the days before her.
New developments since then are mainly mobility related. She is the fastest little crawler, furniture cruiser and jumper you ever did see, and I am fairly sure by the end of next month or so she will be walking and running all over the place. She stood without holding onto anything for the first time yesterday, next to her Auntie Hillary. She walks around in her walker toy at my in laws. She walks while pushing her Uncle Luke's old wagon toy all around the house. It is the best thing ever to watch her test her boundaries and learn such essential things. I love everything about it.
She is loving being around all these family and friends, and is not shy at all-but she still looks for me and Lester when she needs some TLC and it melts my heart every time. Her schedule is a bit jumbled what with all the moving, so right now we're trying to get her back to a normal routine with sleeping and eating. She is in the 50th percentile for weight [mainly eating milk, baby food, cereal snacks and little bread, fresh fruit and teeny tiny pieces of meat or rice], 95th for head circumference [all cheeks baby] and the 5th percentile for height [she's a shorty, but the doctor says she will be fine-and lets be honest, with us for parents, we were never hoping for her to be tall haha..].
Words truly fail when it comes to trying to describe our love for our daughter. She makes every single thing in our lives better, and we are happier with her then we ever could have thoughts possible, as is the rest of our family. Life is good with Adelaide in it.
