If you know me at all you know that I am the queen of nicknames. My mom, dad, husband, and now Addison have a tremendous amount of names that they can be called at any given time. Because some of these names get phased out over time I decided that it is high time that I start documenting them so that we can look back when she's 20 and laugh at them. Some of them will probably still be in use!

update
It's been a while since I blogged so here is a list of updates on little nugget:
1. She has almost perfected shaking her head "no". I think I liked it better when she didn't know how to do this. But, it is nice to have some kind of active communication with her so at least we know when she doesn't want something now.
2. She has another tooth coming in! It hasn't quite poked through the skin yet but it is giving her a time and we're ready for it to come on out and start helping her chew up some food!
3. Speaking of food, she is moving more and more into solids and has gotten over (for the most part) her sensitive gag reflex. So far, the favorites are: Yogurt, grits, baked potato, cheese, eggs, and mommies left over soggy cereal. She is also a huge food begger! She will stare you down until you give her a bite of what you are eating and she will stand at your knees with her mouth wide open like a little bird waiting on a treat. Cute now...but I can see we might have to correct this soon:)
4. We are getting very close to walking!!! She is "furniture surfing" pretty well and is able to stand on her own for short periods of time, but she still prefers to crawl as a means of transportation.
5. She is a smart little whipper snapper! She has a book that shows animals and the sounds that they make. When we read that, she always tries to mimic the sounds that I am making. Another book she has is filled with different items that are common in everyday life, as I turn the pages she will point to each item and I will tell her what it is. She studies every item very hard and then looks at me ready for me to turn the page. We're just very happy that she is interested in books!
6. She is loaded with lots of hugs lately and enjoys handing them out. There is nothing like having your daughter rest her tired little head on your shoulder and squeeze her little arms tight around your neck.
7. She must be going through a growth spurt because she is sleeping really well. She takes about 2 hour naps and sleeps from about 8pm to 8am. Mommy and daddy are enjoying this!! Hoping that this phase isn't a phase:)
She is such a sweet angel and Adam and I have been enjoying every second of the last couple of months as she starts to hit more and more milestones and surprise us with how much she learns. We are headed to the beach again soon and we'll be sure to post pictures!
