Addie is 10 1/2 Months and My Birthday!

So my little munchkin is now 10 1/2 months old. She has been changing so much this past little while. I even had a friend tell me that she all the sudden looks like a little kid! 
Addie's newest thing is to climb. She climbs onto anything that she can. This morning she decided that she wanted to play with the dishes. I didn't want her to pull anything out so I pushed the bottom rack in. Then I continued to do the dishes until I heard a little whimpering. She had climbed onto the dishwasher and got stuck!! I know, I'm such a mean mom and took a picture instead of rescuing her!
 
Addie also has been really interested in her sippy. We have tried several different kinds and she never seems to be able to figure them out. Then we found this one and she carries it everywhere with her! We have also started introducing cows milk and she loves it!!
One thing she has started doing is sitting and laying on things. I know that sounds weird but she will stand up, walk to something or someone and then sit or lay down on it/them. My favorite is when I'm sitting cross legged on the floor. She will come sit on my legs. Not in the middle but on one leg on the outside. It's so cute! She also will lay on the floor when she's tired and wants a nap.
Addie now has 5 teeth! They are so cute! She has started grinding her teeth too. Such a creepy sound! Her other teeth have come in so easily. She only had a few days of grumpiness and then all 3 teeth came in! I can see another top tooth slowly making its way down so we may see tooth number 6 here pretty soon!
My favorite thing that Addie is doing now is clapping. We have tried for a long time to get her to clap and she had no interest. Then one day all the sudden she started doing it! That night we went to an Owlz game and she just clapped away! Now she claps all the time. Anytime she does anything like pick up a toy, put a toy away or give kisses, she'll clap afterwards. It's so darling!
I love my little munchkin! She is such an amazing baby! We are so lucky to have her as a part of our family. I truly cherish each moment I get with her!
This last Sunday was my birthday and man I was spoiled!! I got some very sweet cards from family and  my friend and her kids got me a bucket of candy with some balloons! Then there's my sweetheart. He made me feel so special! Starting on Wednesday, he gave me a present a day. Wednesday-Book, The Red Pyramid. Thursday- Criminal Minds Season 6 (My favorite TV show ever!). Friday- A pair of shoes. Saturday- A new set of scriptures with my married name on them. Sunday- Skirt, shirt and shoes for me to wear on my birthday! It's not everyday that you find someone who knows you SO well that they can buy you clothes that you absolutely love and that you don't have to return for a different size.
I had a fantastic birthday! We also got to go on a date without the baby and just spend quality time the two of us. It was such a great weekend and I'm so grateful for a loving husband who made me feel like the luckiest girl on the planet. I love you Shawn and thank you!!!!
