15 Months

Today is Addison's 15-month birthday! She's not going in for her 15-month check-up for a few more weeks, so I'll post her stats then. It's crazy to think about how much she's grown in the past few months since she turned one! Here's a few updates on what she's been up to.

Addison is about to the point where she will eat us out of house and home! This girl will eat almost anything we put in front of her. Her favorites are scrambled eggs, macaroni and cheese, string cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza, pineapple, green beans, watermelon, and marshmallows. She's finally got the hang of sippy cups, and we're still working on getting rid of the bottles completely. She's not a big milk drinker yet, which is frustrating, but we're getting there.


Addison STILL isn't walking yet. She's taken a few steps here and there by herself randomly, but that's about it. She can pull herself up into a standing position all by herself, and walks along anything and everything with ease. She's even learned how to climb onto the couch, and thankfully how to safely get off. Although, once on the couch, she likes to try and get onto the end tables to play with the lamps. She loves playing on the stairs (thanks a lot, Grandma), and gets mad whenever anyone goes down the stairs without her.

Even though the walking is coming a bit slowly, her communication and comprehension are coming along at an astounding rate! She is always jabbering something or other. Her favorite word is still "Daddy", and she's picked up "Ow", "Pinky" (her pink elephant), "Blankie", "Tyler", "Kaiden", "Bye", "Woof", "Baa", and a bunch of other ones. She has learned some nursery rhymes and songs, and loves to look at books and be read to. She FINALLY loves to give hugs and kisses, and will give you one whenever you ask. Her new obsession is standing and looking out the front window, and saying hi to anything and everything that passes. I was pulling out of the driveway the other night, and glanced over at the window to see Addison waving bye to me. It melted my heart!

We are so proud of Addison and how much she has learned and grown! She is such a ray of sunshine in our lives. Tyler and Kaiden adore her, and she completely idolizes them. It's been so much fun watching her grow the past 15 months, and we can't wait to see what a little lady she grows up to be!

The toy basket was in the way of the window, so she decided that instead of moving the basket, she'd just stand in it.
