Milestones:
Head Control: Addie has amazing control over her neck muscles. She's been able to hold her head steady/upright for over a month now. She follows things around the room not only with her eyes, but by moving her head too. If Shane or I get up and walk away from her, she will strain to find out where we went in the room. Within the last week or so, she's been making a motion like she's trying to sit up by lifting her head. Specifically, when laying on her back or propped up on a pillow, Addie will lift her head a few inches forward. We know that sitting up on her own is still quite a ways off, but it's neat to see her try! :)
Hands: Of course exploring the hands is probably one of the neatest things for a baby at this stage. I mentioned in our previous post that Addie will make herself cross-eyed trying to look at her hands. Now, it seems like she's trying to touch things more. If Shane or I put our face close to her, she will sometimes lift her hands up to grab at our face. If her pacifier falls out, she will nudge it with the backside of her hand trying to get it back in. I don't know if she realizes that she's doing it, but she has actually gotten it back in on a few occasions!
Shane said that he saw Addison suck her thumb for the first time too. UH OH!! She always puts her hands in her mouth and several times has sucked on her fists or fingers, but he said it was just the thumb this time. I won't be too paranoid about it this early, but if she's doing it when she's 10....we might have a problem! Ha ha
Here are a few more pictures from week 11
