Adelyn Mae!!

Our "little lady," "bugga boo," "buga wugas," "Addie Pie," "bugs," and anything else that comes to mind when we see that sweet sweet smile and hear that sweet squeel when we greet her in the morning playing with her favorite friends Baby Lala and mini Curious George.  Crazy to think that she is already 9 months old, but much like Bekah always seems older than she is.  She is also very very stubborn like her sister Bekah!  Addie will let you know if youve made her mad which is pretty easy to do.  Just change her diaper, change her clothes, take away paper, tell her no, or walk into her room to give her a bottle.  I had to wean Addie at 7 months when we found out she was aspriating while eating.  We found out God had been very good at protecting Addie from having pneumonia her first 7 months.  The doctors couldnt believe she had never had pneumonia because she apirated every swallow.  Being a bad mom I didnt realize that her choking during feeds was a problem.  I just thought she ate too fast.  I finally was concerned when she started refusing to eat more and more. She was down to 5-12 ounces a day.  We now have to thicken her formula with one scoop of rice cereal to one ounce of formula.  I tried oat cereal but she hated it!  In Novemeber, she will have another feeding study to see if she has outgrown her problem yet.  Im praying she does because I really do not want to be thickening her food forever!! Of course my first kid to ever figure out a sippy cup this young is not allowed to use one because the fluids in one are way to thin.  On Friday, we had to make our first 911 call ever!  Addie started choking and gagging and drooling very badly.  I immediately turned her over and patted her back and kept sticking my finger in her mouth to find the culprit and hoping she would throw it up, however she just couldnt get it up.  After a quick realization that this item could go either way we called for help and we had no idea what it was.  Right before the firefighters arrived we were finally able to get it out.  It was a tiny piece of laffy taffy wrapper!   It was terribly scary and Im so thankful for the firefighters who were great and encouraging in a scary moment!  Addie is now at the age of sleep anea due to large adnoids in the other 3 kids.  Im praying she has no problems with this, but lately are becoming a bit concerned.  We will give it more time though.  They wont remove adnoids until 1 yr old anyway.  Adelyn currenly has 3 teeth with more on the way!  Addie strted crawling at 8 1/2 months old and this week pullin up.  She is definitely in a hurry to catch up with siblings like Bekah. She has a serious addiction to her left thumb.  She recently decided she hated baby food and will only eat table food that she can pick up and feed herself.  So So nice!!!   Addie's favorit person is her Daddy.  Im definitely only 2nd best.  She absolutely hates strangers and has a very loud cry like Caleb did.    Addie looks identical to Bekah in pictures just with a chubby face like Caleb.  I cant wait to see her personality more and more as she grows up.  Ryan just loves taking care of Addie and Addie definitely shows favoritism to Ryan.  Addie has already started babbling but with her aspirating she has a high chance of having speech problems later.  I told the Dr that all Moons have huge rotting adnoids and terrible speech.  At least we are consistent!!  We love our "little lady" as much as the others and are so excited to watch her change everyday!!!
