8 Week Update

Where does the time go? There just aren't enough hours in the day! It's hard to believe that Addison is already 8 weeks old. It seems like just yesterday that we were heading to the hospital to begin the induction process. My, how things have changed. Our lives are so full of love these days.

Addison has changed so much during the last 8 weeks. She is growing like a weed, she continues to amaze us each and every day. She had her 8 week well check today, and she appears to be a very healthy little girl.

Weight 11 lbs, 4 oz (50th percentile)
Height 22 3/4" (50th percentile)
Head 15 3/4" (75th percentile) -- She's going to be a smart little girl! :) She received her first round of immunizations, and she was such a trooper. Needless to say, she didn't enjoy the shots, but she only cried for a few minutes after the nurse adminstered them. She's been asleep since we left the doctor's office, only waking long enough to eat. It broke my heart to see her in pain, but I know this is only the first of many things that will break my heart. Hopefully, she'll rebound and forgive me (and her daddy, too).

Some of her favorite things are:
Bath time (still a favorite)
Music, music and more music (she even loves to hear her mom and her "aunt" Barbara sing)
Playing on her Rainforest play mat (she just kicks and coos)
Bouncing in her Rainforest bouncy seat
Snuggling
Daddy Time
Car Rides & Road Trips
Shopping (most days) Regardless of what time she goes to sleep, she is sleeping for 5-7 hours at a time most nights. She has started smiling, and it is just the sweetest little smile! I have the hardest time getting out of the house in the mornings. All I want to do is snuggle and play with our little girl. Nothing else seems to matter these days. And it is such a wonderful, wonderful thing!

Addison, your daddy and I love you more than you will ever know, and we look forward to a lifetime of happiness with you!
