10 Months!

Addison is in the double digits! How is this possible? Time is going way too fast! So what’s our precious girl up to at 10 months? SO MUCH!

Our increasingly mobile baby continues to test her boundaries. Addison can progress from sitting and crawling to standing and cruising (while holding onto furniture). We know that her first independent steps are close at hand!

Addison’s language continues to develop too! She now makes meaningful gestures including waving bye-by and clapping. It’s so stinking cute! She can say - and really mean! - mama and dada. She never ceases to melt my heart! She can repeat sounds and blow raspberries.

There are so many new and wonderful things that she does every day that I could keep writing until my fingers were numb! She has such a sweet disposition and is honestly the most precious thing on earth. We are so blessed.

This month we battled our first sickness when Addison came down with RSV. She was an excellent patient and took her breathing treatments like a big girl. After 3 days away from school and some extra snuggle time, she was good as new!

This month, we took our little Valentine to the Tech v. A&M basketball game. She LOVED the excitement of the game!

We also celebrated with our friends Chet and Dancey who revealed that they will be having a baby GIRL in June! Blessings on the Creels!

This month, as we now find our curious little girl beginning to test her boundaries (dog bowl, electric plugs, toilet, etc, etc, etc), we have been reminded of the importance of discipline and consistency, even at this young age. Our verse for the month comes from Proverbs 13:24, "Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them."   I am a softy and will need to recite this to myself for the next 18+ years.

Amen and Pass the Butter,

Marcy
