Keepin' Up with the Kauffmans: 9 months old!

Addison is 9 months old (and a week or so, there seems to be a trend....)! She is becoming our little socialite which is hard to believe considering she had severe stranger danger from 3 months to about seven months. We look at her everyday and say, "I cannot believe how big she is...can you?" We went for her 9 month appointment today, she weighs 19 lbs 14 oz and is 26.5 inches long! She's a short little girl, but very healthy and very cute:) We have been very busy enjoying summertime with our baby girl. Here our some of her monthly milestones and pics...enjoy!

- she loves to clap (so cute!), give five, and wave bye-bye
- new favorite food is maderine oranges
- pulls all of the lids out of my lid drawer approx. 5-10x a day
- walks 6-10 steps then drops and crawls the rest of the way
-stands at the glass door (getting fingerprints all over it!) looking outside
- when we go shopping or out-and-about she will smile at people, if they do not look at her she then lets out a loud sqeal, waits for them to look and smiles again. She is such a stinker! And btw if they do not look, she will keep doing it until they do or they walk away.
- if I give her apple slices she will spend the entire mealtime eating those and not eat anything else
- she has two bottom teeth and she LOVES to brush them
- loves to pull everything out of the diaper bag and/or purse (both g-mas let her do this)
- she does not like to wear dresses b/c they totally intefere with her crawling speed
- if we leave her in a room, she can now crawl and come find us

She uses the pub-style table to get from the living room to the dining room so she doesn't have to crawl..its much faster that way.

This is an "electric" toothbrush for babies, and it is her favorite. She cries when we say she's done. It could be worse I guess, she could hate brushing her teeth...
