Happy 1/2 Birthday Addison Faith!!

Our baby girl is 1/2 year old!!! We were in Ruidoso, New Mexico on her half Birthday and were still in the process of getting moved so we were a couple weeks late in taking her 6 month pics, but here are a few...



She has changed so much in the past month.....The big thing being that she is reaching for EVERYTHING!!! You really have to watch her, she was in my lap at dinner one night and was going after my shrimp!! She is also rolling all over the place. I will lay her down on one side of the living room floor and when I come back into the room a couple of minutes later she will be on the opposite side of the room!! 

We had a very busy and chaotic month since we moved!!! Yes, we made a big move to West Texas. Rodney will be farming with his Dad and I will officially be a full-time stay at home mom!! So excited for this new chapter, but so sad to leave so many family and friends. We moved on June 21st, and stayed with the in-laws while we had some work done on our new house and then headed to New Mexico for a long weekend.

At Addison's 6 month check up with the Pediatrician she weighed in at 14 lbs 3 oz and was 26 inches long. 10th percentile for weight at 50th percentile for length. Doctor thinks she is doing great. She is sleeping about 10-11 hours at night. Normally going to bed between 8:00-9:00 and waking up about 7:00. She is taking 5 ounces at each feeding about every 2.5-3 hours. She is in 3-6 month clothing and size 2 diapers.

She got her helmet off right after she turned 5 months, and it has been so nice not to mess with it anymore. I am so glad she wasn't in it in the middle of the summer. She outgrew her helmet a little sooner than expected and they said her head was still not "perfect". We could have done another helmet but with the move we decided against it. It definitely looks much better than it did. We also have a new physical therapist out in Lubbock that we LOVE!! She has shed new light and ideas on helping to improve her torticollis. She suggested having Addison come for physical therapy twice a week and wants her to continue until she is walking. 

Big milestones for this month include: the big move to West Texas, getting her helmet off, her first(and very quick) vacation to Ruidoso, New Mexico. 

We just can't get enough of her! She is truly the light of our lives!!
