I can hardly believe it. Addison is 1 month old. It seems like yesterday I was begging her to leave my body and now, a whole month has past. I seriously believe time speeds up once you have kids.She is a beautiful baby girl! I am lucky because she is also a fantastic baby. Here is a list of tidbits about the princess.
1. She doesn't mind baths but LOVES it when I wash her hair. She was like this with her first bath in the hospital and the nurse told me she cried until she got her hair washed. Such a girl. :)
2. She hasn't lost any of her fantastically awesome hair. She doesn't mind bows or ribbons. She loves when I brush it.
3. She farts like a grown man. It's true. In the hospital, I woke up to a toot and blamed Aaron. It turns out it was my precious little girl. Aaron and the boys are very proud of her.
4. The child has the nickname of "The Pooper." The key to getting her to poop is to put her in a clean diaper and a cute outfit. That's her signal to fill her britches beyond capacity.
5. She sleeps like a champ. Besides 1 long night in the hospital, she has pretty much slept well every night. She wakes up once to nurse and then goes right back to sleep. I am so lucky!
6. She is easy going. Nothing really phases her. No one in my house has any sense of volume control. She can sleep through anything.
7. She is so amazing at the doctor's office. My boys screamed their heads off during check ups. Even the basic check up (no shots) was a cause for a complete baby meltdown. Addison could care less. She just lays there looking around. The nurses love her. :)
8. She is getting big. At her 3 week appointment, she was already 11 lbs. Let's face it, she was never "tiny." But...it is a little sad that we totally bypassed the newborn stage, including diapers and clothes.
9. She already has a little personality. She has smiled at us already (and not the gas/sleeping smiles). She does this little complaining cry that stops as soon as you call her out on it. Ha! Also, when she cries hard, she sounds like a goat. It's true. Colton thinks it's quite funny.
10. She is the perfect addition to our family. She travels well and has already learned to go everywhere with us. We were out and about starting with her being 4 days old! The boys love her to pieces. Colton thinks she is the best thing in the world and loves to be on pacifier patrol. Dawson wants to hold her every second he can. We all adore her and are so blessed to get to share life with her. We have nicknamed her "The Little Sweetie." And it is true. She is the sweetest thing in the world!
Awwww.....thank you for letting us get to know Addison!
