Six Months Old

Wow, it's been a while. I have quite a bit of updating to do.

I can't believe Addison has been with us for half a year. Some days it seems like she was born just yesterday. She is turning into a very happy little girl, which we are really enjoying. The first five months or so were difficult and somewhat frustrating because Addison was a pretty fussy baby. The last month has been very enjoyable though and everyday she is changing so much. She is talking and babbling all the time, she laughs and giggles and it is just so cute. She loves music and loves sitting in her jumperoo and watching Scott and I play guitar hero. She is sleeping through the night (8:30-7:30 or so) and eating so good. She loves her oatmeal and we just started sweet potatoes last week. She also got her two bottom teeth this last month.

We started Gymboree class this month. Addison absolutely loves it. She gets excited the minute we walk in the door and starts flapping her arms. Her teacher is wonderful and Addison loves her. Addison's favorite part of Gymboree class is laying on the mat on her back while we raise and lower the parachute.

Today we went to the doctor for her six month checkup. She is getting so big. She is 90th percentile for length and 75th for weight. She had to get five shots today (poor baby).

Here are some pictures over the last month.

Look at those big cheeks!!

Oh my gosh! She is just so cute. I can't believe she sleeps through the night for ELEVEN hours! How did you make that happen?? I'm so glad to hear things are going well, and she's such a happy baby. Hopefully we'll meet her and Petyon sometime soon. Love, Katie

So cute! I just love her cheeks! I also loved the video of her laughing at rusty! Is rusty your dog?

She is growing so fast! She is also getting cuter by the day. I am so glad that things are getting easier now. It can be hard when they are fussy. I love to listen to her laugh. I know she is so happy to have you both as parents!

This age is when it really starts to get fun! She is just adorable and I love her smile!

Happy 6 mos!! She is obviously flourishing. It took us until 9 months to achieve similar sleeping hours. The gymboree class looks like a ton of fun. I've thought about enrolling Kerensa, but just haven't been sure. Your vote of approval might be the determining factor. :)
