Two Weeks Already

Addison likes to spend time snuggled in her Boppy watching everything around her.
Our beautiful little girl!
About the only time Addison cries is when you take her clothes off and give her a bath.
Spending quality time cuddling with daddy when he arrives home in the afternoon.

It's hard to believe Addison has been in our lives for 2 weeks now. What an amazing 2 weeks it has been. Like the commercial says --"Having a baby changes everything." And we are enjoying those changes so much.

Wayne went back to work on Monday after spending the first week at home with us. We missed him terribly during the day, but he has come home for lunch every day to see us. Addison and I had our first outting on Tuesday--a trip to mom's for the day so we could get out of the house. Mom and I took her to Brookwood to have her weight checked and she has broken the 5 pound mark! :-) She was 5 lbs, 3 oz. Babies are supposed to get back to their birth weight by 10 days of age and she was above her birth weight at 11 days. Mommy was very excited about that. Feeding has been our biggest challenge so far, but it seems that has worked itself out too.

Addison is a wonderful baby. This week she has started staying awake a little more during the day. She eats about every 3 hours, but sometimes wants to eat every 2 hours in the afternoon. She rarely cries except when we take her clothes off for her bath. She makes lots of sweet noises and funny faces that keep our attention on her all the time. She is only waking up one time per night around 2:30 to eat. She goes to sleep around 10 and wakes between 6 and 7. She does not like sleeping on her back so she usually sleeps in her bouncy seat inside her Pack N Play at night. I'm trying to get her to nap on her back so she will sleep in her Pack N Play at night, but she is not up for that now. She is smiling at random times and is rolling from her back to both sides already. She is truly a blessing and Wayne and I are enjoying her so much.

We appreciate all the phone calls, cards, and visitors we have had since arriving home. There is definitely one thing Addison will not lack--people who love her!
