Tues, September 30

I’m not sure how, but Addison gets to be more fun every day. She loves playing with her house lately. She sits in front of the door and pushes it open, then closed, open, then closed, open, then closed. This is very enjoyable for Wes and me as well, because it, of course, makes noises every time the door moves. Imagine that lady (you know, the electronic one on all the toys) saying “hellogoodbyelet’splayseeyalaterhellogoodbletsplseeyalatehelgoodhellogoodbylet’splay” She’s gotta be exhausted.
This picture illustrates a few things. #1-This is why Mommy usually picks out the clothes. Wes kept Addison the other day while I was working, so he was the one who put her to bed. When I got her out of her crib the next morning, this is what she was wearing. Okay-Wes deserves a little credit- so she was just going to bed. I just thought it was funny. #2- She really does look cute no matter what she’s wearing! (Can you imagine waking up this happy every morning?)
Addison and I have gotten to spend a little more time together lately, and it’s been a blast. (Doesn't she look like she's winking?) She’s been working on getting up on her hands and knees, but those darn knees keep sliding out from under her. She’s also started imitating motor movements (like banging the rattle on a ball). This is an important step for developing speech later on. Today she was holding my hands and clapping them together, so I was trying to get her to clap hers. When I’d say, “Addison’s turn,” she’d put her hands straight out in front of her with her fingers stretched out and palms together, and would wait for me to clap them together. Too cute!

She's such a cutie! Seriously, there are lots of baby contests going on right now (I'm thinking GAP!) - I want to enter her! Rach, you're still so tan from the beach!
