Happy AnniBirthTines Day!

Ok, so I've been terrible at keeping the blog updated. If you can believe it, having a newborn is a lot of work :) A lot has happened since the last time I posted! Addison had her first tummy time, successfully swung in her swing without puking, used her activity gym, took her first vacation, went to Zoo Boo at the Como Zoo, and turned ONE MONTH old! Ok, and it was also Adam's 27th birthday and our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Funny how our events now take a backseat to our sweet little baby's firsts! Check out our pictures from the last few weeks!

Either today or sometime this week, we're also going to plan on carving her pumpkin, taking her birth announcement pictures, and painting her hand and foot prints (thanks to Andy and MJ's gift when she was born)! I can't wait to share those pictures with all of you too!!! Until next time...

Baby Addison: Week 2 Update

We're almost through week 3 with Addison, but I thought I'd post a week 2 update after several requests. During week 2, she had many firsts! Her first walk around he block with mom and dad, her first doctor appointment, and her first bottle! At her first doctor appointment, we found out she was actually losing weight rather than gaining weight. Therefore, we met with an in-home nurse twice and have had two doctors appointments and as of today she has finally surpassed her birthweight. Come to find out, even though she'd breastfeed for up to an hour at a time, she still wasn't getting enough milk to sustain her. What we thought night after night was gas was actually hunger pains... so we finally transitioned to having me pump and have us bottle feed her full time so we could track exactly how much she was eating. She's finally doing great! She eats every 3 hours and sleeps 5 to 6 hours at night!!! We're ecstatic!!! Here are a few pictures from her second week as well as a link to her Week 2 Album.
