I'm sure it's not unusual that I'm late with the weekly post....AGAIN!! Ha ha This week we have been packing, packing PACKING!!! The inspection for the buyers of our place was Thursday and Addie did really well with all of the new people in her home. We had the inspector, appraiser, buyers and the buyers agent all at the same time roaming around the house. With all of the chaos we've had lately, I've been waiting for Addie's moods to change but for the most part, she's keeping a beat. I'm not sure if she understands what's going on or not. We were STOKED when Nana came on Wednesday to help out with everything. I could tell that Addison remembered her because she didn't act shy at all towards her and ran over when Nana got out of the car.
Milestones Week of October 14, 2011 (75 Weeks):
Yes & No: Nana taught Addie to nod "yes" and "no" this week! It's soooo cute too because Addison will open and close her mouth when she is nodding "yes" and flip her tongue left to right while she nods "no". She seems to understand the difference between when to use each one too!
Sleeping Changes: I'm sure it has something to do with the packing and chaos, but Addison's sleeping habits have changed a bit. She's still sleeping through the night, but is having a hard time initially going down. Basically she will just cry or fuss a bit whereas she used to lay right down and go to sleep. We haven't been giving her the usual "naps" that she's used to because we aren't always home and with people in and out of the house, it's pretty difficult to stick to any sleep schedule. Hopefully after we settle in to the new place though, Addie will be back on track.
Clingy: Addison has started to be a bit more clingy to us. She doesn't do it all of the time and it seems to be more often with daddy. If daddy picks her up and then puts her down, she will throw a FIT! If she sees daddy, many times, she will follow him around until he picks her up. Other times, she will just bury her face in between our legs, begging us to pick her up. I figured that this behavior wouldn't show until the new baby came, but I'm guessing it has something to do with her hectic surroundings.
Yelling at TV: Daddy's favorite baseball team (the St. Louis Cardinals) have been trying to make their way to the World Series and we've been watching baseball non-stop while packing! Addison has begun to get into the games as much as her daddy! It's so funny because Shane will yell or cheer at the TV and then Addie will yell/cheer. We were able to get her on video with Shane's phone and we laugh every time we re-watch it! If the computer ever cooperates, we will get some videos on here for sure!!
