Addison: 6 Months

Our Addison is six months today. That's half a year people! Where has the time gone? She's developed quite the personality this past month. She went through a phase a few weeks ago where all she wanted to do was be carried around. She also decided that cuddling was for babies and would not let me rock her. I'm happy to say that she is back to her cuddly self. Sleeping has improved although I still think she could go 8-9 hours every night without a feeding. She goes to bed around 7, wakes up around 2 and then goes back to sleep until 6:30-7:00. She's cut her nursing back to every four hours and takes 2 solid feedings a day. It's all we can do to keep her from lunging at our plates during meal times. She thinks she can eat with the rest of us and screams at us if we try to withhold food during one of our meals. I gave her a biter biscuit this past week and she thought she was big stuff. She still refuses to make the effort to try and learn to roll but can sit up unassisted for long periods of time. Her new favorite toy is her toes and anyone's face she can get a hold of. She'll slap you around in a heart beat. Look out!

This evening we gave her a 1/2 birthday party. We did this for Hudson and he loved it. She had a great time squishing her little cake and loved tasting icing. Hmmm....hope that doesn't keep her awake tonight :)
