She's on the move!

Well, Addison is a growing girl! A week ago she had her 4 month check up and she is still in the 95th percentile for height at 26 1/2 inches and she is 75th for weight and head size. Not only is Addison growing physically she is also developing in other ways. She can hold and grasp objects pretty well and she likes to chew on almost everything. She can roll both ways and we can no longer just leave her laying on the bed or couch without watching her. She is becoming more active in her movement! 

This past week and half I have had to watch her closely because anything she can get her hands on goes into her mouth! She has also become more mobile! Last Friday I was going to make banana bread and I wrote down the recipe from my sister in law. I set the recipe card in Addison's car seat and as I turned back around she had grabbed it and was sucking on it trying to eat it. Needless to say there was fresh ink all over her face and inside her mouth, so I was frantically trying to wipe out her mouth! This afternoon I went to lunch with a friend and in a matter of minutes her hands were in the guacamole, and then they almost knocked over a glass of water. As I'm trying to move the water my sweet friend points out that now my daughter is gnawing on the corner of the table!! I'm sure that's not healthy! Last night as we were eating dinner she almost wiggled her way out of her bouncy seat. She was half on the floor, half in her seat! We caught it just in time. She has so much energy! We are going to have to start watching her closely! :)
