10 Weeks

I can't believe how much Addi has changed in just 10 short weeks! She is more alert during her "play" time, which is a lot more fun for Michael and I. We can all actually play and interact and she seems to really enjoy it! She is smiling ALL of the time and I love it! I will do absolutely anything to see her beautiful gummy smile. We sing songs, tickle her belly, and just smile at her (and she will smile back). Making my baby smile is the most amazing feeling in the world!

Addi is more alert during her awake times, but that leads to a very over stimulated and tired baby when she wants to sleep, which means she cries harder and longer than she has ever before. I hate when she cries like that! It feels like someone is ripping my heart of my chest. She still fights sleep during the day but she is still doing really well at night!

Yesterday, Michael and I decided to take her to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid. She was GREAT! We swaddled her and she slept most of the time...I was very surprised because the movie was kind of loud. It was really nice! Michael, Addi, and I had a great time on our date! We might do that more often while she is still little enough to sleep most of the time.

I love Addison so much! We are SO lucky to have her as a baby. Bye for now :-)

9 Weeks

Hi!!

I know it's been a while, but things have been really busy around here. Addison is getting so big I can hardly stand it! Although I am so excited to see what she is going to be like when she is a toddler, I love this baby stage! She is so cute and cuddly. I love the new sounds she makes every day and watching her get stronger and more baby like.

We are so lucky to have Addison as a baby. She is a really calm baby (most of the time) and extremely flexible and easy going. She was wonderful at Nikki and Kevin's wedding this weekend (which was beautiful!). She didn't cry until the very end of the evening. I am so proud of her for that!

This evening was a rough one. She didn't sleep much today at all which leads to a very tired baby. She cried for an hour and a half straight...not like her AT ALL! And it wasn't the normal baby cry...it was like she was saying, "I'm so tired and I don't know what to do!" She sounded so weak and helpless (I checked for a fever just to make sure she wasn't sick and it was normal). She even cried in the middle of her feeding. I felt so helpless. I hate listening to her cry like that! I am not used to it because she really doesn't cry like that very much.

Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully she will actually go down for her afternoon naps so this won't happen again! Bye for now!
