9 MONTHS OLD!!!

Well, our little baby girl isn't so little anymore! Wow, the past nine months have flown, as I write this I still can't believe it. Our nine month old is trying to hit the computer keys as I type (she can pretty much get to anything she wants these days). This week she started taking steps, okay more like one and a half steps - before she drops to the floor. However, she is getting better and her confidence is growing - it won't be long before she is walking. Anyway, these photos were taken on 2/28/2010 - her 9 month birthday.

On March 1, 2010 she had her 9 month check up. They had to run some routine blood tests! The nurse had me hold Addi in my lap and hold her arm still while she stuck a needle in her poor little arm. At first the vein rolled over so it seemed like an eternity that she was moving that needle around in her arm. All the time Addi was watching her and trying to move her arm - the same arm that I was trying to hold still. Finally, she got the vein and it only took a minute to get the blood. Amazingly enough she didn't even cry! After I let go over her arm, her poor little wrist and hand was blue from me holding on so tight. We couldn't believe that our little tough girl didn't cry. I hope we don't have to do that again anytime soon, it brought back bad memories of our last stay in the hospital :(
