Addison's 9 month update

I am making a pack that I am going to do a much better job keeping this updated. Lately between Addison and Collin they are both doing little things that I am continually telling myself I need to write down.  So, here is my first attempt to get better. 

To start things off Addison had her 9 month check up last week.  Here are her stats.
Height: 27 inches
Weight: 19 1/2 pounds
She was 60% for both height and weight and was in the 95th percentile for her head.  I don't feel like her head is all that big, but guess she will grow into it soon.  She checked out great.  Keeping an eye on her left thumb/hand since she is not all that great at the pincher method yet and often times forgets that it can open and close, but we are working on that. 

What she is doing:
Rolling over: It finally happened at 7 months, she realized if she just tried she could roll from one side to another.
Sleeping: She sleeps through the night, wakes up at 6 to nurse then back to sleep.  She sleeps on her stomach at school and on her back at home.  Not the best napper...but we are working on it!
Food: For the past two months she was not into anything unless it was completely pureed.  She was going as far as gagging herself, throwing everything up, if she didn't dig the texture!  However, just these past two days she has started eating pears, sweet potatoes, pees, banana just right off her tray:) So I think we may be out of that phase.  She is still nursing except just this week we have started to suppliment with some formula because I am just not sure I am giving her enough!
Talking: She is CONSTANTLY making noise.  Whether she is saying da da da da da, ma ma ma ma, ba ba ba, or even just gruting, blowing raspberries, you name it.  She is always talking or making a noise to get your attention.  I think she has learned she has to do something to get the attention away from her crazy brother!
Moving: In the past week she has learned that life would be much better if she could move.  She is trying so hard to pull herself up.  Loves to stand at things, and is spinning around on her tummy, rocks back and forth on her knees, and pushes herself backwards.  She will be SO much happier when she can keep up with her moving brother!

It is so hard to believe that she is already 9 months old.  She is the sweetest, most layed back little girl.  She loves to snuggle and ALWAYS has a smile on her face.  She thinks her brother is the best thing in the world and thinks just about anything he does is funny.
