Yes, despite the horrible teething fussiness for most of the day and penchant for sleeplessness, she may be the cutest little girl ever!  Here is Addi adorning herself with a beautiful pink silk wrap.  I told her she looked very pretty and she was all grins :)  As you can see, Finn was also a member of the peanut gallery.  Not sure he enjoyed the fashion show as much as we did, although he did like the 5 minutes of "petting dog-dog" afterwards.

Soooo sick of teething.  Addi woke up every hour to hour and a half all night long last night.  Now don't get me wrong, I know it's not all teething, she has never woken fewer than 3-4 times a night since the day she was born, but the teething's definitely not helping.  When oh when will the sleep deprivation end.....

Hmm, what have we been up to since last posting. Well, we enjoyed a fun visit to Grammy & Poppa's (Addi's Great-grandparents) in Atchison, KS and also visited my brother and Andrea in St. Charles, MO for a few days.  Addi has proven herself much better in the car for road trips than she used to be. In fact at 11 months she even occasionally sleeps in the car!  

Anyway, these days when Addi's not sleeping, which is pretty much anytime between 7am and 9:30pm if she gets her way, she's cleaning.  Yep, i've put her to work.  She loves the wet wipes and will "clean" or "wipe" whatever she's asked to wipe.  this includes doggies and kitties (they love this activity even better than when Addi tries to give them kisses and use them as pillows), tables, mommy's face, dollies, and the list goes on.  she's a cleaning fool... 

She's also recently mastered standing on her own and is determined to have more than two teeth before the age of one.  She's a chewing, slobbering, happy little girl.

Holiday celebration #2 gave us some good Addi unwrapping presents pics and a very nice shot of her new favorite place to be - in the toy basket ;-)  It was lots of fun catching up with the rest of my family, starting our own family rock band (I swear I think I'm rock star of the year on Rock Band) and catching up with our friend Christi and her daughter Addison (also Addi).  We wish her husband Bo could've made it, but mostly just hope that his next set of tests go well.  Here's wishing you all good health, happiness and fun in the year 2008.
