Last night Addie just took off walking. She was walking all over the house. Of course, she would topple, but she would get right back up and go again. You may notice a goose egg on Addie's forehead over her right eye. One of the hazards of learning to walk - hard falls. It's weird to see my baby walking but also very exciting! Bob and I are in trouble now! Yay for Addie!
Another month has come and gone in the life of our little Addie. I still feel the need to record Addie's monthly developments, as she is learning and changing so fast. It's hard for me to believe that it has already been a month since Addie's 1st birthday party. Crazy! Anyhow, Addie is learning new words and sounds. She says "hi", "bye", and "uh-oh" and makes dog and cow sounds. She also recognizes cats and usually waves and says "hi" to our neighborhood cats. Addie also says "ba" for both banana and bottle. She tries to copy other words like shoes, cracker, and cheese. On top of that, Addie babbles all kinds of gibberish. Her favorite song right now is "Itsy Bitsy Spider". She can do all the actions and usually laughs when the spider gets washed out. Addie is very friendly and likes to say "hi" to people we pass in the store and puts her arms out to familiar faces at church. Addie is making more and more progress toward full out walking. She can take about six or so steps before she topples. At this point, church, of course, is a struggle. By the last hour, Addie is tired and sick of sitting. Nursery is only 5 months away, right. We recently put a forward-facing carseat in, and Addie thinks it's wonderful. During the first few drives, Addie said "hi" to me about a million times, because she could see me. It was cute! At Addie's 12 month check up on the 29th of October, she measured about 29 inches and weighed 21 lbs which put her roughly in the 75th percentile for height and the 50th percentile for weight. Below are pictures of Addie in all her new outfits. 
We had a fantastic Halloween! Our festivities began with a "Boo Gram" from a secret friend. At first I assumed it was someone from our neighborhood, as the gram suggested, but I later found out that it was a wonderful friend from the ward. I happily passed it along to two neighbors. I took the opportunity to get creative and scrapped the gift bags. I think that "Boo Grams" are a fun Halloween activity and hope to "Boo" more of our friends and neighbors next year.
