August 1sts for Addi

Little Miss Addi Rae has had a VERY busy month! After much distress that my little "chunk a munk"(as Kelly would call her) would never roll over or involve any movement in her daily activities, she finally did it! On August 2nd Addison learned how to roll from her back to her stomach. She can do it quite easily now, but has yet to figure out how to go from stomach to back so once she has rolled over she gets quite bored by the position and begins to whine for someone to help her out of her helpless "swim" position. We are currently on vacation in Orlando and while at the pool yesterday I noticed that she also had her top two pearly whites pop through those puffed up gums of hers. She has been teething for quite a while and we have gone about 3 weeks without a solid night's sleep so I knew they were coming....I just didn't think it would take close to a month for them to actually come through! So it's documented, August 19th....Addi got her Christmas wish of her two front teeth early :) Needless to say I think it helped too because she slept from 8:45-6:10! Now, let's talk about how MUCH food this little girl can consume. She has been eating 3 meals a day, cereal for breakfast, fruit for lunch, cereal and veggies for dinner, plus about 5 nursings throughout the day and about two full helpings of puffs or yogurt melts for snacks. She did go about two weeks while those teeth were bothering her with barely eating any solids, but this week while on vacation she has definitely gotten her appetite back! She has been eating so many new things (some of which I think Jeff is going to have a heart attack over), but hey - she's #3 and caution has pretty much been thrown out the window with her. She has mastered goldfish, bread, cereal, pancakes, french fries, grapes(cut up of course), lorna doone cookies, tortillas, pretzels, and ice cream (she and I get those stress related cravings, so to the freezer we go for a few bites of Jeff's cookie dough ice cream!) It's hard to believe that she's already 7+ months old and when we look at her she's no longer a baby to us. She clearly has taken on the look of a little girl. Why do they have to grow up so fast?!?! I of course am holding out for #4, but I don't think I'll ever convince Jeff so I might as well stop holding my breath and take in just a little squeak of air.
