It's hard to believe that Addy has been with us for 61 days (that's two months for everyone else). She has gotten so much stronger and taller in this past month. She has continued to sleep well, even sleeping through the night twice now. This past Saturday night she slept uninterrupted for almost ten hours. Her neck muscles are getting pretty powerful too. She's fairly close to being able to hold her head up on her own, I'm sure we will be able to bust out the Bumbo and exerciser saucer soon. Mommy weighed her this afternoon and came in at eleven pounds. The official weigh in will be at the doctor's on Thursday. Pray for Addy, Daddy and Mommy as she gets her first round of shots. She is super smiley now, especially in the morning. She smiles when we smile at her, she loves to imitate Mom and Dad. Addy has been so much more alert and becoming more and more aware of her surroundings. She is making all sorts of coos, gurgles and good sounds. She can hold up her head much longer when she has her tummy time and will be sure to be rolling over on to her back soon.
Addy went on her first trip this month, she went up north to surprise Grandpa and Grandma Dodd. Addy traveled so well, we had such a good time with them, the Goods and visiting camp. What a fun weekend visit.
On Mother's Day Addison and Kate participated in the Mother's Day Parade at church. Chapel Pointe always make a BIG deal, and well they should, about Mom's and new babies to the Chapel Pointe family.
Later that day Addy and Kate went and visited her family on the other side of the state. Since I had to go on a work trip with the men in the Life Skills Program. It was a great opportunity for them to get over and see more family, on Mother's Day. That week Addy was able to meet her Great Grandma M and many of Kate's friends. She also went to her first Tiger's baseball game, of course the Tiger's beat the dreaded Yankee's. It was so fun to spend a few days with our family.
Since coming home she has begun sleeping in her crib and had her first bottle.
It has been a super memorable month of firsts, smiles and blessings. What an amazing little girl sent from God she has been and continues to be :)
