A Beautiful Fall week and family time!

It has been a busy week!! Beautiful Fall weather and lots of time enjoying the outdoors and family!
We attended Noah's work party out at a farm in Scandia on Saturday and Addison got to meet many of Noah's coworkers......there were tons of young kids and it was fun to look forward to all of the stages that are soon to come! Addison traveled around the party in the Baby Bjorn (the first time with her feet out vs. being swaddled...and loved it!)
On Sunday Noah's parents arrived and we enjoyed a wonderful 5 days with Nana and Papa loving and visiting with Addison! We went out to lunch, out to dinner, on several walks, on a day outing for errands, etc. Lots of family time and fun to visit and catch up with them! Nana is staying another week to have even more time snuggling with our baby girl! She is usually first in line to offer to change diapers, burp her or hold her for a nap! It has been nice to be able to have the help watching Addison while I go on runs (yeah!!...up to 30 minutes now...enjoyed a wonderful jog with my friend Jen on Tuesday!), shower and get some things done around the house!
As far as development, Addison has continued to gain even more head control and often will sit very erect on one's lap after a feed looking around and taking in the world! She loves her belly and prefers sleeping in this position on one of us as opposed to lying on her back in the crib....something to work on, but for now we are enjoying her warmth and cuddles! She has discovered her waterfall soother hanging on the side of her crib and enjoys lying on her side and rolling around a bit watching this in the morning after her early AM feed! Nights are about the same with a couple feeds overnight and sleeping 2-4 hours at a time depending on how well she fed! She is still spitting up quite a bit and sometimes this makes her a little fussy (maybe it burns like reflux?)...so we are doing our best to keep her upright for a bit after a feed. We are hearing more vocalizations from her each day with grunts, coos and squeaks....I will definitely miss these one day! So cute!
We have plans to meet up with some other mommies and babies in our condo building soon to have a little play session....looking forward to this and hoping to establish a play group for the future!
I have taken tons of pictures over the last week and can't wait to post them...but unfortunately my computer is in the shop......so I'm doing this from a coffee shop! I will be posting in the next couple days a few of her shots from the last week! Can't believe how fast the time is flying by!
