1 Month Birthday!

Hello Everyone,

Today is Addison’s 1 month Birthday! Wow, time is flying by.

Addison is growing so quickly. She is now approximately 10.5 pounds and almost 21 inches. She recognizes my voice as well as Tim’s and turns to look at us when we are talking. She can follow objects with her eyes and loves to look at the ceiling fans. Thank goodness we have one in practically every room. She makes really soft cooing and sighing sounds when you are rocking, bouncing on the exercise ball, or playing with her. She also grunts and has these small high pitched shrieks when she wants to do something else or if I’m not moving fast enough to get her positioned for breast feeding. In the last week she developed some mild baby acne on her cheeks, but it seems to be going away. I was reading that it usually shows up between 2 and 4 weeks (b/c of hormone changes) and goes away in about 1-2 weeks. Addison loves to kick. When you are holding her, it seems like she is trying to climb out of your arms and go some place. During tummy time on the play mat she can scoot her self right of the mat. She also does not want to be covered or bundled up. She will kick and squirm and grunt until she is completely uncovered then fall asleep. It is entertaining to watch her.

The temperature has been really creeping up the last few days here in Houston. Today it reached a high of 96 degrees and humid. Our friend's Lindsay and Bryan are expecting their first child in December and Tim's cousin Hilary and Shawn are also expecting their first child November 15th. (Same as my sister Jacquie's birthday). We are so happy for them and can't wait for them to expierience the same overwhelming love we have for Addison. We hope everyone is doing well. Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks.

Love,

Jenny, Tim, and Addison

3 Week Birthday!

Hello Everyone,

Addison is celebrating her 3 week old birthday today! Everything is going well. Addison has been growing, changing, and learning so quickly. Her first trip to the pediatrician’s office was on April 24th. She had gained back her original birth weight plus 4 ounces weighing in at 7 lbs 8 ounces. At her two week visit last week, May 2nd, she weighed in at 8 lbs 2 ounces. Last night we weighed her on our scale at home by holding her and we approximate her weight to be between 9.5 to 10 pounds. She has pretty good control with her arms and she is already trying to go places. Her whole body is filling out nicely. Her personality is showing already. She is pretty good at letting us know what she wants. She is generally a pretty content baby. She has been sleeping a 4.5 hour stretch and a 3 hour stretch at night. So I only have to get up once to feed her. Just the other night she slept for a 6 hour stretch. Addison's “half outty” belly button was revealed this past Tuesday.

Grandma Babst came to visit us for a couple weeks. She helped us out since Tim had to go back to work April 28th. She showed us how to give baby Addison massages, baths, baby exercises, and some soothing positions to hold her. Not to mention she helped make dinner! Thanks mom.

Hear are some pictures from the last couple of weeks…
