This picture is pretty much just cute. I will confess to having helped her stand up in this one, but she sure enjoyed it, and stood there by herself for quite awhile.
Poor kid has her dad's hair. Good thing she got her mom's beautiful eyes.
Addison's first roller coaster ride.
A friend of ours recommended these "Biter Biscuits", saying that his kids love them. Thanks for the recommendation, Kyle. I think Addison really did enjoy it, but we were done after the first one. And since we are currently running a despotic monarchy, her opinion was not calculated into the final decision: no more biter biscuits.
No sooner than she mastered crawling, Addison's world expanded to include the stairs. Great fun for her, and possibly the beginning of gray hair for us. Especially since not even our monarchical authority provides a way to fence these stairs off from her exploration.
Unlike the first picture, this posture was arrived at entirely under Addison's own power. It's amazing how fast they go from barely crawling to trying to stand and walk.

But she's so proud of herself!
What a wild one. And as the pictures show fairly well, these stairs are made in such a way that we can't really put up a gate to keep her from climbing them. Looks like she'll get to spend more time in the playpen, at least until we move somewhere without linoleum sheathed concrete (mentioned in previous posts) where we can hopefully put up a baby gate if there are stairs.
