When Monty picked Addison up from school on Thursday she was in her spare clothes. After 10 months, we are very familiar with why this happens, so we thought. It appears while they were playing on the playground Addison discovered a mud puddle of some nature and decided it looked like a good place to play. She must have had a good time because she manged to get it in her hair and enough on her clothes to require a change. I am so sorry we did not have a picture, but it did earn her the name "Pig Pen" from PaPa. Oh the messes Addison finds!
It has been a busy weekend for our family as far as firsts go. When I got home from work on Friday night we all ran next door to see the progress of Grammy and PaPa's house. After the update tour, we were sitting in our living room talking. I was sitting in Addison's chair and she was crawling all over me laughing and playing. She wanted me to put her in my lap, which I did, and then proceeded to what I thought was kiss me. When you ask Addison to kiss someone goodbye, etc., she will open her mouth in a large "O" and place it on their cheek. She had the same "O" formation when she approached my face only she closed her "O" and let her top and bottom teeth touch around my right jaw. Needless to say this did hurt a bit and she did leave slight whelp. More than anything tough, we now realize that we have a biter! I pray this phase will be short lived (in fact, I would be ok if it is now over!) and that we don't get any notes sent home from school or church.
We continued our evening with a visit to Lisa's (Eric had Disciple Now) to take her dinner. Her mouth was bothering her so we ate an El Paseo picnic in her living room. Addison ate mainly pineapple tidbits, but Lisa was kind enough to introduce her to Oreos following dinner. Needless to say she is quite a fan! One other amazing thing Addison did was lean her torso over to get a bite off her spoon while standing. We were quite impressed with her core strength to keep her balance.
Saturday was rather uneventful as far as firsts go, but Sunday you made a giant leap! After Addison got dressed for Sunday School, she was in our room for me to get ready. I was letting her play in the floor and she crawled over to me and grabbed my pant leg to pull up. I pulled her off and held her by the hand and let go (she can easily stand with no support) and she took ONE step to me and then grabbed my hand. I realize this is not walking but this shows our true progress in that direction. It would appear we are getting more close to increased mobility!
Before church she also discovered how a Kleenex box works and pulled out one (thankfully!) Kleenex and shredded it into a ton of pieces. She loves new discoveries and continually amazes us.

Addison and Monty have some interesting things they do together. She loves to play with pots and she loves to eat Goldfish. So, you ask, why not put them together?? Monty has done just that! He fills her pot with Goldfish and she eats them at her leisure. Isn't he a genius? It is like a giant snack trap without the lid Addison hates. He might be on to something...
