It's hard to believe that our sweet Addy girl is two weeks old! Time has flown by yet it feels like we have known her forever. In looking back over pictures from the past two weeks and trying to pick out some of my favorites to share with you all on here, I failed in being brief...so, you're welcome for the overload of pictures.
We can back up a little bit to our first pediatrician's appointment. We got all dressed up and arrived (on time!) wearing a cute little outfit and matching headband. It's a pointless act, really, to get all dressed up for the doctor. Because they just make you strip the baby down as soon as you get there anyway. But nonetheless, here's our pretty little thing at just 4 days old:
Wide eyed in the car, we still have no idea what color eyes she will have. They are the mysterious gray...teasing us between brown and blue. Like mama or like daddy, we will have to wait and see.
She was a gem at the appointment. Weighing in at 7 lbs. 12 oz, the doctor was pleased with her weight. I immediately was surprised to see she had lost a few ounces since birth, but had to remind myself that is normal. Lucas never lost any weight, he was always a moose!
She still doesn't have much hair, but what she does have is light. Are you going to be a blonde like your dad and brother, Addy? What a little mystery you are!
The night after the appointment, we gave both kiddos a bath. Lucas played in our tub while we tag teamed Addy on the bathroom counter.
She screamed to high heavens during the bath until we flipped her over onto her tummy. She liked getting her back rubbed down. High maintenance? Maybe :)
After her bath was finished, Brandon took her to dry her off. Before he could get a diaper on her, she decided to christen him with pee down his shirt. That's my girl!
Success! Two yummy smelling babes.
The first two weeks have been filled with lots and lots of snuggles from the proud big brother.
There has been lots of kisses and vying for the attention of Nana especially. She has been so so helpful to give Lucas extra attention that her snuggle time with baby Addy has been pretty limited! Lucas is quick to tell Nana to give the baby back to mommy...rotten.
In other two week news, Addy naps in some pretty great positions. Most of them involving her hands up by her face...just how she posed for her ultrasound pictures and just how she entered the world.
Her awake time is filled with her bright curious eyes, a love of tummy time, and a really strong head!
I could just eat those squishy cheeks up.
Addy girl, baby Addy, Addy Beth, whatever you are being called today, know that we love you to pieces. You are beautiful and are the perfect addition to our family. Happy two weeks!
