Grandpa Kim's Birthday!
We celebrated Grandpa Kim's birthday by going to Owen's Fish Camp, a new restaurant in Sarasota. Great grandparents Bob and Joanne were there, and so were great aunt and uncle Diann and Kevin. Grandma Julie also joined in the party. Addie gave Grandpa Kim two framed pictures of them for his birthday. Addie had a great time getting passed around the table, eating lemons, crackers, and lobster-tomatoe soup, and smiling and waving to all the other people in the restuarant. She even went on a walk around the restauarant with our waitress, who said Addie was going to help her get great tips that night!

Addie's First Easter
We celebrated Addie's first Easter with Grandma Julie, Grandpa Kim, Grandma Kristi, and Great-Grandparents Jan and Virgil. Addie got an Easter bucket with lots of fun toys and Easter eggs. Dakota got some new toys from the Easter Bunny too. Addie loved her bubbles and the plastic Easter eggs. She got a fun new outfit and crayons from Grandma Julie. Grandparents Kim & Kristi got Addie her first bible and a bunch of fun beach toys. We can't wait to use those!
Addie looked so precious in her Easter dress and she even wore her little headband - we thought she'd pull it right off, but she wore it for pictures like a champ!
We also had fun decorating Easter eggs with Addie the day before Easter.
10-Month Update
Since I only have a few more days until Addie turns 11 months old, I thought I better write a quick 10-month update. We just can't believe how fast this year has flown by and how fast Addie changes. It seems she is learning something new everyday. She spends most weekdays with her nanny, Kelcey, and also some afternoons with either grandma, Jay, or me. She likes being home much better than being at the daycare :)
She is still on the small side for her age, but is definitely on her way to catching up! She has to weigh almost 20 pounds now and it's not so easy to carry her around everywhere anymore. Her hair is getting thicker, longer, and lighter. It was almost black when she was born, and now it's a light brown. Her eyes are beautiful - brown, just like mommy and daddy. She now has two teeth, the two in the bottom center.
She still loves to wave hi and bye. She also claps her hands (learned this from watching The Wiggles) and plays patty-cake. She "gives kisses" when you ask and turn your cheek towards her face. She opens her mouth a little and touches her lips to your cheek. So cute!
She said her first word last week: ba-ba. Her second word was "hi" and she says it all the time now. She still hasn't said mama or dada other than her random babbling, which she does all the time!
She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything. Not too interested in walking yet though...she'd just prefer to drop down and crawl because that way she can get to where she is going much faster.
She and Dakota have their own little way of playing. She is always dropping food off her highchair tray (on purpose) and sometimes will even "share" her crackers by feeding him right out of her hand. When she takes her bath, she throws a small ball out of the tub to Dakota and he brings it back to her. It's so precious. She also pets his head and nose, and of course, he licks her like crazy.
She has the funniest facial expressions sometimes. For instance, if you give her a toy that she is not interested in, she will give you the snottyist face like, "What? You think I want to play with that?" Then turns up her nose and looks away. She also giggles and laughs all the time.
She is starting to eat more solids. She loves strawberries, loquats off grandma's tree, crackers, anything salty, beans, chickpeas, soups, meat, and her Buddy Fruits (blended fruit in a to-go pack). She still likes her ba-ba too, especially before naps and before bed.
Our favorite nicknames for her right now are chickpea, little miss, addie girl, sprout, little sprout, babygirl, and sweetpea.
She is still not sleeping through the night...I think because she misses her mama and just wants to spend more time with me :) She is great at taking her naps.
She is the most amazing little girl and we love her so much!
