Oh time how I wish you would just slow down. It has been nine months
and 3 days since our little jelly bean came in our lives. She is growing
up way to fast on us. On thursday she had her nine month old check up.
It went good. She is 26 inches long and weighing in at 16lbs and 11 oz.
What is kind of funny on this subject is that our scales was saying she
was over 17lbs and the doctor's scales says 16lbs and 11 oz, so which
one do we really go by? Which ever she is growing up nicely. She may be
on the petite side but she is growing up good. She has two teeth at the
moment and I have this feeling that she will be cutting another one
sometime soon. She still loves bananas and strawberries. She loves
getting a strawberry yogurt at Applebee's when we go out to eat. She
also loves Mac and Cheese. I have given her a little bit of french fries
but not too many. Now sweet potato fries she loves those and will eat
them lots but regular french fries she only eats a little of those. Dont
ask me why but she just loves the sweet potato fries more. She did
really well when she had blood drawn for her nine month blood work (it
was just normal route blood work for her then major please dont worry).
She
is crawling every wheres now. She will be in one spot and then the next
thing you know she is in another spot. The way she crawls is so cute.
Some call it army crawl but to me it doesnt look nothing like army
crawling. It looks more like she is slathering around but it is so cute.
We do have to watch her really close as she wants to go towards the
heater (it is turned completely off now that it is spring and summer .)
She has started to try to pull herself up some. Right now it is just to
her knees but I think it wont be much longer until she is pulling up in a
standing position. She already will stand if you stand her up and her
hold on to something like your hands or etc., . She is saying mommy,
daddy, bye bye. Those are the words you can really understand the most.
There is times when it sounds like she is saying pawpaw bye bye and that
usually means she is ready to go see her pawpaw and mawmaw.
She
has another pageant coming up this sunday. It should be a fun one. It
is a Kentucky Derby wear pageant. I have got her a little white dress
with a floppy like hat. I also have this cute little necklace I am
thinking about letting her wear. It is a pink pearl necklace (not a real
one. I wish we could afford to get her a real one. Maybe for her 13th
or 16th birthday that is what we will get her). No matter what she
places in this pageant she will have fun. It maybe our last pageant
until Christmas or sometime next year. If we can get some sponsors for
the pageants that would help us out a lot. I hope we can get some
sponsors. Because I would love to continue with the pageants with our
Jelly Bean this year. But we will have to see how it goes. I have
decided to give the fundraising a try to help with the pageants. Right
now I have a tshirt campaign going to see if we can get some money
raised up for the pageants. If we get more then what each pageant is
then it will be donated to cancer charity like relay for life or
something like that. Here is the link for the tshirt campaign https://www.booster.com/addison-summer-pageant I hope you can purchase a shirt to help her get to her summer time pageant.
Okay
that is it for right now. I will make a little post after the pageant
to let you know how she does. We hope you all are doing good.
