The Handley Family: 28 Week Update - Addie's Waitress Hand

28 Week Picture

Addison had her 6 month well-baby appointment this week and with a NEW doctor (Dr Calipjo). I realize she is a ways past her 6 month birthday, but her appointment have always been a little off. Normally, Addie does really well at the doctor. This time...not so much! Addison had been in a good mood all morning long. We walked through the office doors at the doctor and she immediately became angry! It was like she knew what was about to happen. Once the shots were done though, she calmed down to a bottle and the soothing sound of mommy's voice :)
Addison is now 18.8 lbs and 25.5 in long which keeps her steady in the 90th percentile on size. We love every teeny tiny inch and pound of her!

Milestones:

Words: So Addie's ever-growing "babble" vocabulary now includes "dadadadada"!!!! It's sooo cute when she does it because she opens her mouth as big as she can and says it really loud like she's trying to get your attention. She will get on tangents when she's chewing on her toys or hands and start babbling "dadada-yayayaya-dadadada". I wouldn't go as far to say that she understands what she's saying, but it's still really cute!!

Hand out: There's this really funny thing that Addison has done for a while but it really never caught my attention until we started counting how many times she does it per day. Wether she is sitting or standing, she will put one hand out to the side and hold it there for several seconds. She does it so much that the other day, she did it 23 times in ONE afternoon! I have even looked back at some of the pictures we have posted on the blog and you can see a few pictures where she is doing it. I will try to get a few more pictures and put them on here too.

Happily Awake: Addison has never been a grouch when she first wakes up. In fact, if you smile at her when she first opens her eyes, you are guaranteed to get a sweet little smile right back from her! Just to get proof of this sweet little angel waking up, I grabbed my camera yesterday and snapped pictures as she opened her eyes up (see pictures below). TOO CUTE!! :)
