October's been a big month so far

So... this will be a pic heavy post, but there is just too much to document for the grandparents and my blogging public for me to leave any of it out.
First things first, here's Addie sporting her spooky kitty cat onesie to celebrate the month of halloween:

Second, Addie has now excelled in her sitting up skills and can sit support-free while playing with her hanging toys. She can't do this indefinitely, but can totally play for a few minutes this way and it's too cute. If she loses her balance, she uses her toys to straighten herself out. This pic beat out all the rest for cuteness, so it made the blog:

The rest of the "playing pics" didnt merit being individually displayed on the blog, but I think they're hilarious so I turned them into animated .gifs:

There's another at the end of the blog.

Third, to follow up my post earlier today... look how Addie slept during her second nap today!!!:

That is her first time EVER falling asleep on her back without being swaddled. She didn't even cry first. She just played with her feet for a half hour, then fell asleep on her own. I know this doesnt seem like a big deal to you guys... but this is HUGE to me. My baby flipping days may be over, yippee!!!!

Okay, this one isn't an accomplishment; it's just funny. I had to cut her 6pm nap short so we could go to an ExxonMobil information meeting. Apparently, she had been sleeping rather soundly on her hand. Look at the perfect impression it left... too funny!:

And yes, my daughter has ridiculously long fingers like her mom. They arent AS long as the imprint, but she does have long fingers.

And now for the coolest achievement pic *insert drumroll*:

Addie can stand on her own like this for like 5 minutes! She loved being able to look around the room and she kept bending and straightening he knees as if to celebrate.
Playing while sitting up, rolling both ways with ease, sleeping any way she wants, and standing... Can you guys believe all of these new tricks all at once? Crazy crazy crazy. Lori and Sam = proud parents.
Here's the other playing with stuff .gif:

Even more new cute pics up at the picasa album. Also, all of last month's pics have been loaded to TheBurkmans.com. There are probably about 15-20 that never made it to the picasa album or blog before, so it's worth checking out.
