Addison almost 8 months old update

Addison had an appointment yesterday and here are her stats. She was measured as a almost 6 month old.
Weight 16.7 lb 50%
Height 25 in 25%
They said she is still pretty small for her age, but for anyone that has seen her they would disagree. She is huge she is lovingly referred to as Fatty Addi or Chubs or Tank.

We love her so much! She is such a little fighter and really has a mind of her own. We can already tell she is stubborn and likes things her way. She is learning to crawl very slowly. Right now she just turns in circles and uses her head and not her arms to crawl. She was sitting up really well on her own but for some reason she got bored with that and has decided she doesn't want to sit up on her own, so we say whatever!

You can almost always get a smile out of Addison! She has those huge cheeks and cute little dimples. You can tell that she loves Steve and I very much! She is always looking for us when one of us leaves the room. I can't wait for her to start crawling and following me around.

Addison is such a wiggle worm. It is funny people will hold her but not for long because she is so active, she learned how to jump off my lap at Stake Conference and that was scary, she literally lifted her bottom off my legs and leaped to the ground, I was half asleep but managed to catch her before there were any accidents. She loves to explore and check things out. She is always tapping her hands on anything that makes noise and is always moving her hands in a sweeping motion.

We love our little baby and we wouldn't change anything about her!

We love our families and our life and are so grateful for all of our blessings that we have in our lives!!

I can't believe how quickly are little babies are growing up! I got Eva's pictures taken at JCPenney. I always get coupons and you can get coupons online so it makes the pictures pretty inexpensive. They always do a good job. These last pictures were a challenge though because all Eva wanted to do was crawl around and get into all their stuff -so it was hard keeping her attention - but they snapped some good ones. You don't get the negatives which is a bummer - but I just scan some onto the computer to put on the blog. I see your birthday is coming up Jillian - are you doing anything fun? Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
