5 months!

Every month that passes by I can't believe it! 

Addison is getting more and more personality each day! 

At 5 months she is...

* still trying to figure out how to roll from her belly to her back...and gets quite frustrated! 

* has tried rice cereal and avocado, but wasn't too thrilled with either

* is finding her voice

* loves her giraffe Gigi bought her

* is drooling up a storm! 

* likes to be busy and lets us know when she is bored! 

* doesn't really like the swing anymore...unless she's pretty drowsy 

* is in 6-9 months clothes....closer to 9 months clothes

* sleeping well...slept 12 hours one night! 

* is starting to bring up her knees...maybe getting the motion of crawling??

Our girl is getting big so fast! But we just love her to pieces :) 

A special thanks to my Pop Pop for the cute outfit! 

4 months

Each month I'm still shocked how big she gets so fast!

I'm off from work for the summer and really looking forward to the extra time with Addison :) 

Brian usually works 4 day weeks and I'm sure we'll have some fun on his 3 day weekends! 

At 4 months Addison...

* is starting the rolling over process but not quite there

* is able to grasp big objects with her hands

* is able to grasp her feet

* is sleeping in her crib 

* almost growing out of 6 months clothes

* almost over sleeping in the miracle blanket (she's escaping!)

* is drooling quite a bit (teething maybe?) 

* loves to look at her Daddy (Happy Father's Day!)

* loves to smile at people she meets 

* likes to use her binky more 

* loves to go on walks with Mommy 

* wants to be entertained most of the time

I wonder what she'll be doing in another month! She changes so much each month! 

Happy summer to all!

3 months

Already?!

I can't believe some days that I'm even a mom...yet alone to a 3 month old!

Addison is becoming really fun, though! She's starting to let her personality shine :)

I have 4 weeks left of work, and I'm really looking forward to spending the summer with little miss!

At 3 months Addison:
* still loves staring at the fan
* is starting to get more control over her hands
* puts her hands in her mouth often!
* is starting to enjoy baths and even splashing a bit
* is in 6-9 month clothes
* makes cute noises when she gets excited
* is sleeping through the night
* will play more on the play mat
* has chunky long legs!
* is getting better about being in her car seat in the car....just as long as the car is moving :)

We just love her to pieces!

2 months

I'm almost 2 weeks late, but better late than never!

I (Jenel) went back to work when Addison turned 8 weeks :( Everyone is adjusting now.

Our little lady is changing every day!

She...
* is more interactive
* is giving social smiles :)
* likes to stare at ceiling fans
* likes to look a the Van Gogh print in the living room
* loves to stare at light or flashing light
* is now 24 inches and about 12 pounds
* is now wearing 6 months footie pajamas

We just love her to pieces!

One month

It's hard to believe it has been a month already since our little lady entered this world!

Brian is still working like a mad man, but he is still enjoying his time with his mini-me when he comes home :)

I'm already worried about going back to work and I still have 4 weeks left on maternity leave. We are all adjusting and getting better at life with a baby.

Addison is...
Already good at holding her head up
In 0-3 months clothes because she's so long
Has a hard time keeping socks on because her feet are long too
Loves to fall asleep in her daddy's arms
Is becoming more alert during the day

2 weeks old!

Our sweet little lady turned 2 weeks old on Wednesday!

Already!

* She's outgrown some of her newborn clothes because of her long arms and legs.
* Her umbilical cord fell off a few days ago
* Monday she weighed 8lbs 7oz at the doctors
* We had our first real bath on Wednesday!

So much growing already in 2 weeks!

Just a few of my favs so far! There are too many cute pictures to choose from!

38 & 39 Weeks

One week to go!!!!

I saw the doctor on Friday and I was 1 and 1/2 cm dilated. We scheduled my induction date for 2/12 if she doesn't come before then....we shall see!

We feel pretty much ready in the sense that the house, etc. is prepared. I'm not so sure we are "ready" in our minds for what is to come!

I've picked up a nice cold this weekend and hope to shake it before I go into labor. Prayers please! I don't think I would be a happy camper with a stuffed up head and being in labor.

It'll be any day now!

I was trying to push her out...it didn't work...

Hopefully my next post will be about holding our precious girl :)
