11 1/2 months- it's been a while!

Clearly, it's been too long since I blogged.  It's been wild and crazy and SO much in our lives have changed changed changed!!!

In my last post, I mentioned that my nursing was struggling a little and my milk production seemed a little less than optimum.  Well, come to find out- I am pregnant again!  So, yeah- there ya go!  We are so excited and scared at the same time!  The girls (yep- another girl) will be only 16 months apart! 

Here are some updates on little Miss Addison- who is almost ONE!!!!!!!

Personality
What a killer personality.  I have heard people describe their children as "my comedian" "my silly one" "the serious one" etc... I think Addison is our Silly One.  We'll see :) She is so incredibly smiley and happy all the time. 

Breastfeeding
We had to stop around 8 months (in March/April).  My supply was dwindling and I was unable to produce enough at work while she was at the sitter all day.  It was enough to finally make me think- maybe I DO need to take a pregnancy test... and I did.  And, it was positive.  I was determined to continue to BF through the pregnancy, but it did not work out very well.  I was giving her one bottle per day of Almond Milk.  She wasn't completely up on that, so I finally broke down and gave her Earth's Best Organic Formula.  She liked that much better.  We started with the sitter feeding, then the feeding when I picked her up each day, then finally the night time and rise and shine feedings. 

Waketime Length
First wake time is 1.5-2.25 hrs.
Next 3 hours
Last 4 hours or until bedtime

Naps
She;s great at it.  She still wakes sometimes at the 40-60 min mark, but will most always go back to sleep in less than 5 minutes.  If not, I try to give her up to 15 minutes before I go in and give in. Her morning nap is either an hour fifteen or its two hours. Then, the afternoon nap is the flip of the time from the morning.

Nighttime Sleep
11-12 hours. Although, it seems that no matter when we put her down, she is awake at 7:05.  Sleeps great great great!  We are so blessed to have a good sleeper!  (though many would say that comes from all those hours of sleep training)

Solids
Everywhere we go, people tell me how good of an eater she is! I couldnt even begin to tell you all the things that she likes and gobbles up when given the chance!  Mangoes, bananas, apples, pears, grapes, cauliflour, broccoli, carrots, not much she doesnt eat!!

Growth
Not totally sure, but she has got to be 30+ inches now. and She is 20 pounds.  About long enough to grow out of her baby car seat!!

Outings and Events
Well, there have been so many, I don't even think I could update you on that!  She went on a field trip circling Georgia with me, we spent a week with nanna in jacksonville, She stayed with her Nanna one night with no Mommy OR Daddy while I was at a cheer conference and Joe had to work!  She and Joe went to Decatur for one night with no Mommy.  Next week will be MY first time being away from her more than one night as it's time for cheer camp.  Grammie K is headed our way.

Milestones/Skills
We have long surpassed crawling and even pulling up.  Lately our newest tricks are standing up with notihng to pull up on, and taking 2-5 steps to and from Mommy and Daddy with NO help!  We are days away from Walking!!!
