7 months and as happy as can be!!!







Lots of milestones this month...

Our baby girl learned to sit up this month!! Shortly after turning 6 months old she started sitting up on her own. She started with sitting up for a few seconds at a time, but by the end of the month she could sit for minutes on her own!! She is loving this whole new view of the world.

She took her first plane ride to Dallas and did awesome. The hardest part about flying with a baby is lugging everything around. Since I was flying without Rodney's help I was a little worried, but they allowed my mom to go through security with me, which was a huge help. 

Addison took her first trip to the lake. We went to PK for our annual Leon Family Reunion. The life jacket was no fun, so she spent most of her time in the house or in her baby pool. She was an angel all weekend and everyone commented on the fact that she didn't even cry the whole time we were there. As long as she has someone to play with her and entertain her she is happy, and there were plenty of people at the lake to fulfill that job!!

She really started doing well with rice cereal and oatmeal so we transitioned her to fruits this month. So far she has tried Pears, Apples, Peaches, and Bananas! She really seems to like Pears and Bananas the most, and liked the Peaches the least. She is taking 5 ounces at every bottle.

She is sleeping so well at night, even on trips to Dallas sleeping in the pack and play. She is going to bed at 8:00 most nights and sleeps until 7:00am. She wakes up and talks to herself for at least 30 minutes and never cries. 

She is still wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothing, but in PJ'S we have moved her up to 6-9 months only for length. She is definitely long and lean!!


 She has continued with therapy twice a week and her therapist has talked about how much progress she made this month!!! She is getting much stronger and her tilt is less apparent. The big thing that this therapist mentioned(her therapist in Dallas never did) was that she tends to keep her right shoulder up.....this picture captures it perfectly....


She does better at some times, and then does worse at others. It mostly depends on whether or not she is tired. However, she has tolerated her therapy very well and rarely cries.

She is such a happy baby!!!
