Growing Up

Addison is growing up before our eyes.  She's hit a spurt lately of new things she's doing.  She's now drinking her milk from a straw.  No more bottles, no sippy cups!

Do you recognize this look of pride?  This is her just after she pulled herself to standing for the first time.  She was so proud of herself!

Today, Addison fed herself pudding with a spoon.  The small problem we're working on is that she grabs the end with the food on it with her right hand, so that she can put the handle in her left hand.  So by the time she gets the spoon to her mouth, there's no much food left on it.  As you can see, I think more pudding got on her sleeves and on me than in her mouth, but it's her first time- we'll give her a little slack.

Addison is getting so big! She looks like she is having fun getting all messy when she eats. I think the food tastes better to kids when they get it all over themselves! :)
