FIRSTS!

Speaking of "firsts", let's run down a few: Addie just began saying "mama" about two weeks ago. No, I'm not completely convinced that she associates it with me, but I like to think so! She also started the "army crawl" about two weeks ago. Yes, 8 months is an exciting time! The word "da da" started somewhere around 6 months (Brad ate this up!), and the love of waving "bye bye" began then too. This was also the time when she began to wear shoes, eat Puffs, and show some independence. We went to the Little Gym this morning (pictures will be posted later today), and as the other kids crawled around on the floor, Addie just couldn't figure out how to get movin'! She'll get it one day.......and oh, how life will change when this "first" happens!
