Ten Months Old

Sitting still in her chair for a moment.

She's never still for long.

Showing us how she can stand on her own.

Daddy going in for the save before she rolls off the chair. Our little daredevil is fearless!

Addison is now ten months old. At her last checkup, she was in the 50th percentile for length and head circumference, but was only 10th-25th percentile for weight. When I tell people that, they are surprised because the girl has chubby cheeks and thighs. No part of her looks underweight. She looks like a "Mullins" (my side of the family) and the Mullins are not known for being small. Addison continues to enjoy eating, but has become very independent and does not like to be fed by spoon very often (unless it's yogurt or pudding). She finger feeds herself lots of yummy fruits and veggies as well as snacks such as Nilla wafers, graham crackers, and rice cakes. She's also eating chicken, turkey, and beef now. Her favorite food is bread--toast, waffles, biscuits--she's not picky. Just like her mommy!

Addison is very mobile now. She is crawling all over the place and pulling up everywhere. On occasion she gets daring enough to let go, but doesn't stand by herself for long. She is a daredevil trying to crawl over people and things, crawling off the edge of the bed and crawling up stairs already. She also continuing to show her "Addie-tude". If she doesn't get her way, she will fuss and throw herself backwards in protest. If she's like this at 10 months, I can only imagine 2 years. For the most part however, she is our sweet, lovable Addison who we just adore.
