6 Weeks Old~ Addison's firsts

We traveled to Tallahassee for the Boston College football game this past weekend. Addison has been inconsistently smiling here and there, but on Thursday morning when we put her in the car to head to Tallahassee, she started smiling and hasn't stopped since! She smiled all during a shopping trip to the mall on Thursday and even laughed at herself in the mirror in the fitting room.

On Saturday evening, Addison experienced her first tailgate. The weather was rather windy and chilly, so she stayed bundled up in her stroller while we had a fun time with friends. Aaron went to the game while Addison and I went back to Amy's house with her and Isabella. Enjoy the pictures! Can't believe she's 6 weeks old today!

Isabella wanted to sing a song to help Addison go to sleep. This was taken in Tallahassee on Saturday morning. Isabella is such a good big cousin to Addison. We can tell Addison loves her- just watch how she stares at Isabella while she sings to her.

5 weeks old!

Where has the time gone?! Addison is 5 weeks old today. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. Her baby acne has started to clear up. We took her for a follow up with a Cardiologist regarding her heart murmur and he is not concerned about the opening. He said it's most likely to close up on it's own because it is very small. We took a trip to Tallahassee this weekend. Aaron went to the game, but Addison and I hung out with Amy, Chris and Isabella. It's so amazing to have Addison in our lives. She is such a blessing to us and we feel so lucky. She continues to bring us more happiness than we could ever imagine. Enjoy the pictures and the video.

Happy Halloween!

Here are a few pictures. It was difficult taking these, because Aaron was at work and Addison was getting sleepy. She had a hard time staying upright in the chair. We are adjusting well but have had a few bumps in the road. Addison has a rash on her face and neck (which doesn't seem to bother her, but bothers us because it looks so red and bumpy), possible reflux, and a heart murmur. We go back to her pediatrician on Monday for her 4 week check up and then to the cardiologist on Thursday at All Children's in St. Pete. We might take her to a dermatologist next week if her skin doesn't improve. Other than that, we really can't complain! She wakes up every 3-4 hours during the night and goes back to sleep without much trouble. She's been a great baby and so much fun. We hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Caught Sleeping

Addison was 3 weeks old yesterday! Time sure does fly by! She is doing great- she has gained just shy of 1 pound per week. She left the hospital at 6lbs 5.5 oz and now weighs 8lbs. 7 oz!! Here are some pictures of Addison taking a nap with Mommy, Daddy, and Papa. I will post some other pictures soon, I promise... just wanted to get a few up here. Sorry I've been slacking!
