Our sweet girl is 7 weeks old today..... We were sharing stories of her birth recently with some friends who had just told us they are expecting.....and wow, I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since that special day......
We enjoyed the rest of Nana's visit and were sad to say goodbye to her on Saturday morning. Addison loved her cuddles! Noah and I love our visit with her as well.... We appreciated the help and the time to run together and get out a couple times!
Noah and I got to enjoy our first date night last Thursday to 112 Eatery (thanks to my brother Nick and sister in law Jen for their generosity!) We had delicious food and were out guilt-free since Nana was with Addison! It was wonderful!
We also had some fun adventures ........downtown for shopping, out to lunch at Barrio and Big Bowl, out to dinner at Brasa with friends, to the Roseville mall with Nana, and walking the river with our new friends Stacy and baby William. We had an exciting visit from our friend Krista who brought us some delicious banana chocolate bread...yum! What a great week!
This week was also full of firsts for our little one......we have seen a few first smiles (off and on during the week).....after nursing a couple times I get some wide open mouth smiles, and Noah gets them during playtime. It is so rewarding to see her eyes light up with a wide grin!
Addison also grabbed a rattle for the first time this week. We were playing on the playmat and I was trying to entertain her with the rattle dangling above her. When the rattle touched her hand, she reached out and grabbed it! She seemed so surprised and continued to entertain herself with the toy for a couple minutes.....so adorable! I ofcourse ran for the camera and captured a few pics!
Addison is up to 9 lbs!! We weighed her on Wednesday of last week right before bathtime and we couldn't believe our eyes! She is up almost 4 lbs from her birth weight! Those chubby cheeks and thighs are irresistible! :-) We are officially out of most of our newborn clothes and in to our 0-3 month outfits! We have even tried on a few 3 month onesies, which aren't so big anymore.....can't believe it!
She is still eating like a champ...more frequently during the day (about every 2 1/2 to 3 hours), but with longer stretches at night. She is now sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night.....amazing! We are still putting her down in her newborn napper chair, as the spitting up is still bothering her and this seems to help.
We are greatly looking forward to the week ahead......a visit from Anne, our future Nanny this afternoon.....!!! a visit from Jojo and Opa later this week! and a fun work Halloween party on Friday!! We hear from Jojo that there may be some aorable little halloween outfits in the near future!!! :-) More photos to come....................
Enjoy the pictures from this week!!!
