10 Weeks Old!

Happy New Year everyone!

Wow! Miss Addie has definitely grown quite a bit since our last post! She is now 10 weeks old! We recently went to Indy for a visit and everyone could not believe how big she has gotten (especially those cheeks!) At our 2 month appointment, she weighed 11.3 pounds. A week later, at G-Pa's office, she weighed 11.14 pounds - what can I say, she loves to eat!

She is also quite the sleeper! At about 6 weeks, she started to not wake up to eat in the night, but would occasionally wake up and stir a bit (nothing her pacifier couldn't solve). Now, she is sleeping 7-8 hours a night, without waking up. I dont know what Michael and I did in a previous life to get such a good baby, but we will take it! We are just waiting for her to turn on us:)

She is much more awake and alert during the day now...we love her smiles in the morning and night. We are getting on more of a schedule these days, which will help when Mom goes back to work. With the recent warm spell in Atlanta, we have been taking a lot of walks in the stroller and baby bjorn.

I head back to work on Valentine's Day...but I can't complain too much, as I will still be working from home. As mentioned earlier, we took a trip to Indy last week to visit our friends and family. Addie got to meet Aunt Jess, see her cousins, Aunt, Uncle, Great PaPa and Grandma, have a playdate with her friends and meet all of her DWA friends! It was a great, but busy week! Dad definitely missed her while gone!

Nanny and Poppy (Michael's parents) had to postpone their trip just for a bit as Nanny is having surgery to remove her gall bladder. We are just glad she will feel all better when she comes over soon!! We can't wait!! We can't wait for Michelle and Shamus to come soon too!! Yeah!

Here are some recent pics and a video! I promise to update soon!! Enjoy!

Where has the time gone!?

Hey everyone!!

So sorry for the delay in this post - time flies with a little one!

Addie is almost two months old (on the 19th)...we can't believe it! Each day she does something new, or is getting bigger and bigger (watch out for those cheeks!). We are starting to see smiles everyday and her awake time is getting longer (for awhile we didnt know what color her eyes were:)

Since our last post, we celebrated Christmas, New Years and my birthday! We were able to visit Indy for Addie's first Christmas. We had a great time and she got to meet her G-Pa, aunts, uncles, cousins and great grandparents! She was a champ in the car and did not make a peep! She even enjoyed her first trip to Cracker Barrel. We were back in Atlanta for New Years and she got to spend the night at her cousins house. Jake, Caroline and Cooper had a ball spending time with her and are so good with her! Aunt Katie babysat so we could enjoy a night out for my 30th birthday...yes, 30. It was great to have Michael out of school over the holidays - he is so smitten with his little girl.

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Nanny and Poppy next week (Michael's parents)! They arrive on the 20th to spend time with Addie and do some traveling. We can't wait for her to meet them (I think they are pretty excited too)!

Addie is such a great baby - she is now "semi" sleeping through the night. No more bottles in the night, just a few short fusses now and then. She still loves her naps during the day, but she is definitely more alert and playing so much more. We laugh at the little rolls that seem to accumulating on her little arms and legs...

Other than that, we are loving every minute with her. In fact, Atlanta had a major snow storm this week and we have been snow bound for 3 days. We are having lots of "quality family time" :) We hope to make another trip up to Indy soon so she can meet more friends, family and little ones.

Here are some recent pics of miss Addie..
