Active Addie

Our baby Addie is definitely growing up. She is such a happy baby. She has been smiling tons recently-from the time she wakes up to the time she goes to sleep for the most part. She even laughed for the first time the other night (she thinks Daddy is really funny)! I am a little worried about her hair situation...she has been doing a lot of shedding the past few days, so I hope that doesn't mean it is all going to fall out. That would be so sad. But, even though she has shed quite a bit, you can't tell just by looking at her-there is plenty still there as of right now! We weighed Addie the other day and she was 10 lb. 10 oz. We aren't sure how long she is, but everyone talks about how tall she looks, so we'll see how true that is when we go back to the doctor in a couple weeks. Addie is also a bit camera shy. As I said, she loves to smile, but when she sees the hot pink thing (our camera), she immediately stops smiling and just stares. I don't know what it is. Addie also enjoys watching tv and lounging in her bumbo seat. She is still a wonderful sleeper too. The past 2 nights, she has slept between 8 and 8 and a half hours! Even with her wonderful nighttime sleep, Addie still naps quite a bit during the day-probably because she plays so hard when she is awake! This girl will just lay on her blanket and kick her legs and wave her arms constantly for a while after she eats, then she is pooped and goes to sleep for a while. I had a dentist appointment yesterday and was a little nervous to be taking Addie with me, but she was great, and also a big hit. She just sat in her carseat and "talked" and kicked her legs while I got my teeth cleaned. We definitely have an easy baby. Here are some recent pics and a video:Addie lounging in her bumbo seat.

Hanging out for some "tummy time" on her Boppy, but she had other things in mind that just hanging out there...the following video shows what she did next:

Addie did this once before I got the camera out and I was shocked that she did it again once I was taping her. She somehow lost her balance, I guess, and lunged forward. She didn't just lay there and cry, though, as I would have thought she would. Apparently, she is a mover. We thought she was getting close to rolling over, but she has quit that and while on her belly, just tried to push off with her feet. We could have some craziness in store for us soon if she figures out how to move!
