10 Months Old!!

Where has our little baby gone? Someone told me that once a child starts walking they are considered a toddler. If this is true, we have officially had a toddler for about 3 weeks... but she will always be my baby. And I make sure and tell her that everyday! Now that Addison is walking, she is into absolutely everything. There is never a dull moment in the Kauffman household, as she goes from one thing to the next. I was laughing at myself the other day thinking about how extremely naive I was before Addison got here. When we were registering for her I bypassed the baby gates thinking to myself that I would not need them, because I would just teach her to stay out of stuff! LOL. I am trying to teach her to stay out of things, but I definitely need to invest in a few baby gates to aid my teachings.

Although we need a lot of energy to keep up with our little girl, I think we can honestly say we have never had so much fun, experienced so much joy, and been so happy in our entire lives. We look forward to every day with her. Addison has started saying "no, no, no, no" and shaking her finger at the same time. Adorable! Here are a few likes/dislikes from this past month. She has been obsessed with walking/running and exploring this month but has managed a few other things.

-favorite foods green beans, broccoli, watermelon, and FROZEN grapes
-dancing to music
-loves to mimic sounds and gestures
-loves water, HATES sand
-likes to open drawers and pull everything out of them
-likes to walk in new places ie library, outside, park, stores
-wants to "push" the cart all around the store (I have to get a pic of this)

Mommy and Addi. She is getting so much hair!

Playdate with Cole. I thought it was so cute that they always sat so close to each other.

Loves to stick out her tongue. So rotten!

She still only has two teeth!

She did not know what to do when I let her eat out of the bowl. Look at those eyes, they say it all.
