Addyson 10 Months old!

Oh princess how fast you grow, and change, and blossom with personality! I can't believe she is ten months old! I know i say this every month, but seriously?? Why does time have to go so fast?? Than, on the other hand, I get so excited thinking about the next phase that she is going to enter and all the wonder and curiousity of life it is going to bring!
This month, well it was an interesting month. It started off with a nasty virus for our little missy right in the middle of us moving; not so much fun! But than, as we settled into our new space, she started to get busy exploring all her new surroundings. She starting army crawling this month, but hasn't progressed past that. She loves to walk around though holding your hand, but not quite ready to venture out on her own around furniture and such. She pulled herself up into a sitting position today in her crib for the first time; that was quite entertaining!
She continues to battle the teething demon. She had a week and a half of non stop tears, red cheeks, fevers, swollen gums, ect, but now it seems to have died down a bit. Her gums are still raw, and I can feel the teeth coming down but nothing cut through yet. I do think she is working on about 8 or so teeth right now so I am hoping they all pop through at once and get it over with so we can go back to a pain free zone!
The last couple days though that she has been feeling better we have noticed a huge jump in her verbal skills. She talks A LOT. nothing concrete yet, but not as much babbling now and more trying to form words. She is obsessed with bananas to the point I had to move them out of her eyesite during meal times or that is all she wants to eat! She can sign "please" and she claps for "finished". She loves to shake her head NO, oh yes, this girl knows what she wants and doesn't want...I think some of us could take some tips from her;)

And as usual, words can't even begin to describe how we feel about this girl..she truely is the best!

She's just so sweet!!
I feel the same about Kenzie... I don't want her to grow up or change yet I'm excited to watch her grow into her own little person and to discover all that God has planned for her life!! What an adventure parenting is, hey? :)

And... I think Addy and Kenzie have the same sweater! Is she wearing the brown hoody from Old Navy, with 2 buttons?
