Happy Birthday Addison: 1 Month

Addison,

Today is March 2, 2013 and you are one month old. Although so many people warned us, your Daddy and I cannot believe how fast these past four weeks have gone. We are so sad that time is flying by so quickly, but we are enjoying every second of our time with you and we wake up each morning loving you even more...more than the world!



You have changed so much already in your short little life. Here are your stats from your one month Well Visit:

Weight:  10 pounds 6 ounces (Birth weight: 8 pounds 1 ounce)
Height:  21 3/4 inches (Birth height: 20 inches)

You are such a good baby and we couldn't feel more blessed. You eat well and are pretty much content most of the day. The only time you really get fussy is when you are hungry or need to have a diaper change. Daddy and I had prepared ourselves to have many sleepless nights, but you like your sleep just as much as Mommy does! At night, you normally sleep in two stretches...one 4 to 4.5 hour stretch and then after you eat, you fall immediately back to sleep for another 3 hour stretch. You sleep best in your Rock-n-Play, but now that you are 1 month old, we are going to try and move you to your crib in our bedroom.


You have achieved a few milestones quicker than expected. You enjoy tummy time on your boppy and can lift your head for quite a long time. We noticed that you like to lay on your side when you nap and we think you will probably turn over before we know it! You have started to recognize Mommy and Daddy's voices and our faces. You have even give us a few smirks and giggles. Addi, your little smile lights up our world!!!

When you get fussy, Daddy can soothe you immediately. He's noticed that you like your little chubby thighs and feet massaged. I think this means you and I have MANY spa days in our future...two pedicures please!




You have blessed us in so many ways little girl and we are so thankful that God chose us to be your parents. You have made our lives richer, our marriage stronger, our family closer, and our hearts happier.

We love you more than the world Addison Kate!

Happy One Month Birthday!

Happy 1 month birthday to my sweet lil' Munchkin! I can't believe its ALREADY been a month! You are such a blessing to our family and you are loved to the moon and back, especially by your Aunt Lisha! I know Mommy and Daddy are so happy that you were chosen for them and them for you. You have such a wonderful, loving family that will always cherish every moment that we all get to spend with you! I am hopeing that soon, via Skype, you will also recognize my voice and soon after that, my face as well.
I love you Addison Kate, my sweet lil' Munchkin, to the moon and back,
Aunt Lisha
