Addy is one month old

Tomorrow is Addy's one month doc appt. She can now: track people with her eyes, turns her head to see me when I talk to her, lift her head up and slowly put it down. She is getting long and has outgrown a few newborn outfits (with the feet in them). She smiles whenever she is falling asleep. She enjoys staring and trying to absorb all that is going on around her. We have been playing classical music. We just got Baby Einstein dvd's too. They have sounds, music, and have simple pictures that are shiny, colorful, etc.

Yesterday we went to the park for the afternoon. Addison slept through almost all of it. She seemed pretty content. We walked around. We are trying to take advantage of this cooler weather and James day off.

Uncle Dave and Tara stopped by today and met Addy. Addy was pretty fussy while they were here because her feeding was broken up. I was trying to rush her, which just messed up her routine. The tables at dinner left little room to even move, so consoling her was pretty difficult. Uncle David stepped in and kept her wuiet enough for us to eat our food. Oh the joys of an infant! Once we get in a routine (or so we think) She decides to switch it up.

I am starting to feel better. I participated in a 2 mile walk that benefitted the local animal shelter. Addy, Jake, and I went. Addy and Jake did very well. I pushed my luck today and went on a 4 mile walk with my mom, Addy and Jake. Jake did excellent! Addy did excellent too! She just got hungry at the end, which I expected. OH YA.... my mom did well too! Its nice to get out of the house, and the weather is beautiful these past few days.

That's a quick update on the last few days...

Day at the park

Went to the park today and had a great time!

Three Weeks Old

I can now hold my head up (still working on putting it back down), track my mom and dad with my eyes, and am starting to make noise, besides crying ie. cooing. I make tons of faces and am practicing my smiling for when I learn when to use it. I am starting to stay awake more and take in my surroundings by staring at them for a while.

My Outings...

Here Addy is a week old. She went over to Logan's house and had her first date.. closely supervised of course :-) Logan is about 6 weeks older than Addy. Logan tried to put his arm around her but she just ignored him (If only she would keep that up when she's older) Logan is such a cutie! He has great parents so we aren't too worried about these two...yet ;-)

This was Addy's view of dinner. She is 2wks old here. She slept through it in her sling. Most people are suprised I have a baby in there and it keeps people from touching her when we go out to busy places :-) Dont want her to catch any bugs! We went to tepanyaki for Heather's birthday with my family. (I didn't even drop food on her head!)

Auntie Bailey came over and showed me her new coach shoes... so we had to introduce Addy to COACH. She is 3weeks old now and getting bigger and bigger everyday!

She's getting so big

Sleeping baby

First Bath

Our little bundle of joy had her first bath tonight and did great. We are having so much fun.

Addison got to go to grandma's and grandpa's and meet her brother Jake. Jake did very well. He was so excited once I told him he could come over and I let him sniff her. I thought he was gonna walk right onto my lab. Jake still wants to come home with us, and I can't wait til that day comes. For now, he is enjoying time with his uncle gus (yellow lab in the background). They are buddies. Soon Addison and Jake will be buddies too!
