a month old already!!

addison had her one month check-up on friday. i can't believe she's a month old. here were her stats from her check-up: weight- 8 lb. 15 oz (50%) height - 21.3 (75%) head - 14.8 (75%) the doctor was happy with her growth. addison got her first shot on friday, and let me say that i've never heard her cry that hard before...it was a little heartbreaking. here are some pictures from the appointment.

we are loving our little girl. she's doing more and more new things by the week. here are a few things she's doing right now:
- moving her head from one side to the other when on her tummy. she seems to do this more when she's sleeping on her tummy than during tummy time
- vocalizing/cooing more and more during her wake time. it's the sweetest sound!
- smiling more and more when she's awake
- following objects or us with her eyes consistently



hanging out before the shot.


needing the passy to soothe her after the shot.


yes, our little girl is experiencing some baby acne right now. i know almost every baby gets it, but i'm ready for it to go away!



this is addison sleeping in her crib. right now, she spends the night in our room in a cradle. i've been putting in her crib to sleep at least once during the day while she naps to get her used to her future bedtime resting place. she does fine with it, so i think the transition will be easy once we decide to do it. and yes, we do put on her tummy to sleep sometimes, and we check on her frequently :)

all bundled up after bath time.

i helped host a baby shower this weekend, and i had to bring addison with me because stephen had to work. so, i had to make myself presentable, get the baby ready, and make sure i left the house with the things i needed to bring to the shower. so, this was a first for me since she's been born. thankfully stephen was there to help me out as i was getting ready, so we actually left the house on time. we'll see if we leave the house on time when we try to go to church next week. if you go to church with us, you know this is probably not likely, because we're habitually a few minutes late :)
