Addie is getting bigger by the second! No, I'm not kidding: I watched her on the video baby monitor today (while she was supposed to be napping; joke's on me) and she was significatly taller, when compared to the side of the crib, than just a few days ago! I feel like I've blinked and missed the entire spring... now it'll be June, then July, and I will have a one year old. Where has the time gone? This must be what it feels like for the rest of parenthood: a strange mix of excitement at watching your child grow and do and learn, and nostalgia for her to come snuggle up in your lap for a few more minutes.
Word count: 7. That's right, SHE CAN SAY 7 WORDS! Now, please do not come ask her to say them; she absolutely refuses to do anything on command any more (she's like Brad). But these are the words we've heard her say: mama, dah dah, bye-bye, bop (for Pop, Brad's dad), yit (for light), baba (for baby, her doll), duh (for duck), and today she pointed at Rosco and said "rah." I think that counts.
I tried to get some shots of this couple together; it's hard. She's always trying to kiss him (which involves putting his gross hair in her mouth), and he's trying to make sure she doesn't grab his whiskers or tail. He's so good and gentle with her around; I turned around the other day to find her hand in his mouth (yikes!), but he just stepped backwards. She gets so excited to see him, no matter what. I'm kind of surprised "Rosco" wasn't her first word.
