Life of Addison - Day 5 & 6



Addison is quite the little stinker...literally. Although Dad's off work, changing little Addie's diapers is a full time job. The good news is that this means that she is eating well and is healthy. The visiting nurse came by the house yesterday and checked on Bug and Mommy. Addison is 8 pounds 9 ounces, has great color, is very responsive to feeding, and as mentioned earlier has a solid count of stools. Mommy is also doing great. She is getting around well and has been spending her down time cooking some delish meals (thank you Racheal Ray). They were both doing so well on Wednesday that we all took a walk around the block using our Bjorn we got from Grandpa & Grandma Burggraaf. It was really nice to go for a walk again, this time with our whole family, and yes this includes Mia. Mia has been doing a really good job around Addison. All she wants to do is lick those precious little toes (can't say I blame her). Daddy has also been getting some yard work done. He finally got the cow wind vane put up on top of the barn, now we can have a real hoe down, as our neighbor had said. We are all really looking forward to tomorrow when Aunt Paula, Aunt Juli, and Uncle Matt will be coming to visit. I talked to Paula tonight and she remined me that it is their 2 month anniversary, Congratulations! Tonight was Addison's second bath! She does really well and even seems to like it. She is so cute when she gets all lathered up and just stares at you with those big eyes. Tomorrow we are planning a trip to the mall to do a little mall walking (this is a popular sport for most mom's and we just want to size up the competition). On a sad note, daddy has to go back to work in three days. Not looking forward to leaving my precious little girls.
