Daddy Day

There is something so special about a father's love and I cannot wait to watch the love grow between Josh and Addison.  Addison loves her Daddy so much already ... she knows his voice and lights up when he talks to her.  A first Father's Day is just one of the many great memories to come for these two.

Just got home from our first church service as a family of three.   Addison loved it.

J - thanks for being the amazing father you are to our sweet little girl.  We both love you very much.

Checkup with Dr. G

1-Month Checkup:

10 lbs 13 oz

22 1/4 inches long

95th percentile

{I left home without a blanket so we made do with a burp cloth.}

Josh and I took Addison for her 1 month checkup today and got a wonderful report card.  Such a big girl! Addison got her second Hep B shot... poor girl didn't like it one bit.

Don't you just want to pinch that sweet little leg!?  Poor thing.

On a side note ... last night Addison enjoyed some time in her bumbo after her bath.

Then it was time for bed... 

Love her!

Addison: 1 Month Old

Miss Addison Leigh,

 I cannot believe it has been one month since we heard your precious cry and held you for the very first time.  We have kissed, cuddled, and rocked you more times than we can count and have loved every minute of it.   Your sleeping smiles melt my heart and I cannot get enough of your adorable, chubby cheeks.  You are such a sweet baby even when you may not want to go right back to sleep after your mid-night feeding.  We think you may look more like your Daddy with all your dark hair. I think you're beautiful.  You are so strong and so active... even in your sleep.  We have made so many wonderful memories this first month with you and are looking forward to all the adventures to come.

At 1 month you ...

• are eating every 3 -3.5 hours during the day and just this week starting going longer at night.  We had a 6-hour stretch last night (10:30 pm - 4:30 am).  I gave you extra kisses today.
• enjoy tummy time, 10 minutes at a time
• can roll over from your tummy to your back
• love your bouncy "bunny" seat
• follow our voices when we talk to you
• have discovered your blanket, pacifier, and some of your toys
• love your pacifier as you are falling asleep but spit it out once you get to your "happy place"

 I am enjoying every minute of everyday with you sweet girl.  You are already growing up too fast.  We love you to the moon and back and thank God for you everyday.
