Addy has a new favorite word: done. Diaper changes are done before the clean diaper is velcroed in place. Meals are done as soon as the appetizer course (cracker) is gone, never mind the entire bowl of tay-tohs and turkey that still needs to be eaten. And books are done before they've even been opened. It was cute at first, but we're starting to question that whole "let's teach our kid to speak" thing that we've been working on :)
Speaking of meal time, Addy is continuing to make forward progress with resolving her gag reflex, though we still have quite a ways to go before I'll call it finished. The most surprising thing to me is the very strong correlation between her being just a little bit constipated and her having an extra sensitive gag reflex. It makes sense--I don't care what you're full of, if you're full, you probably don't feel like eating--but the extent of it boggles my mind. On a less poop-related note, Addy has a new-found love of graham crackers and is almost a pro at taking an entire cracker and nibbling it down to nothing using little bite-bites all by herself. Those new top chompers of hers are definitely coming in handy with that!
Finally, all of Addy's time in the stander has strengthened not only her legs but also her upper body as well. She is lightening fast at crawling around the corner of the couch so she can play hide-and-seek with us!
