3 Months!

We are shocked that 3 months has gone by so quickly! I don't think time has ever flown by so fast in our lives before. It's funny that when you are a kid you hear your parents always saying that you were growing up to fast, I guess it takes becoming a parent to really understand how true that statement is.

Mae Mae calls her the "little fashionista"

Addison is now sleeping in her own room! It was a hard transition for me but she did great! We moved her bassinet in her room when she was 10weeks old and figured that she would adjust to being in her new enviornment before we moved her into the crib. Then at 12weeks we moved her to the crib and she has done great in there! It's funny when we wake up in the mornings she is laying in the opposite direction of which we laid her down to bed in. She's quiet the little squirmer throughout the night! Of course with every little squirm that I hear on the monitor I turn on the video and stare at her hoping that she's not waking up to be fed at these wee hours! lol.


Addison has her daily routiene that we stick to most days! She likes to sleep-in just like her Momma and Daddy! Which we both love! But it always seems like on the weekends or Josh's day off that she doesn't sleep as long! We usually are up around 7:00a.m. for a morning feed and diaper changing and then she goes back to sleep from about 8 til 9:30-10a.m. Once in a while we still have the really early wake-up either at 3a.m. or 4:30a.m. I sum those up to growth spurts! Once I get Addison back to sleep at 8a.m. I am up for the day to try and get something done around the house with my hands free! Usually laundry or cleaning the kitchen. Then I get on the treadmill. By the time my work-out is done she is wide awake with a big "Good Morning" Grin on her sweet little face. I get her out of bed and feed her. Then it's play time! She loves to lean back on my lap and "talk"!

This is my favorite time of day with her! We play on her play mat, do tummy time (which she hates), read books (her favorite is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!), play with Molly and walk outside to play with Zoe for a little, do some more reading with her in the bouncer playing with her hanging toys, and sing! She really likes music a lot! I think it's because I was in my sewing room always listening to music while I was pregnant with her that she likes to hear my voice :). And of course she's an Adele lover! That was my number 1 playlist to listen to on Pandora when I was pregnant! Although I remember her always kicking and flipping when I would listen to N*SYNC...Maybe I will listen to them tomorrow ;) ...So after a fun morning filled with so many activities she's hungry and tired! I feed her and put her in her swing for a nap. This is when I get my shower! It never fails as soon as I am out of the shower and starting to do my make-up and hair I start to hear her fuss. Somedays she will put herself back to sleep and if she gets back to sleep it means I have atleast another hour! Most days she's a great napper!

 Addison always wakes up so happy from her naps with great big gummy smiles! Then it's time for her to eat again! This girl really likes to eat!!! and again we have more play time! By now it's about 2p.m. and Josh will be calling from his lunch break to check in on us and about once a week he will come home to have me cook him something. And squeeze in a few extra moments with his girlie! Then we usually head out on our afternoon walk to the park or just around the neighborhood. This week we have been meeting cousin Sophia at the park on her new "motorcycle" we walk a few laps, watch Sophia play on the swings and slides. I can't wait til she is moving around more and playing with Sophia! They will be so cute together!

Then we will head home and start thinking about cooking dinner. Addison is holding her head up well by herself so sometimes while I'm preparing dinner I let her sit close to me in the Bumbo and she really seems to like to watch what I'm doing.

Once Josh gets off work its "Daddy and Addie Time" ( so cute that he calls it this). He will take a shower and then he can't wait to get his hands on her! He will usually take her out to the back yard and listen to music, water plants, play with Zoe, and sing to her. It works out perfect that I can cook dinner and they get their special time together. We havn't mastered how to both eat dinner at the same time, so I usually eat quickly first then start a bath for Addison and Josh will eat his dinner. After bath we get her in her jammies and swaddle. She loves to be swaddled tight! Then its one last feeding and I put her down for the night.

Tuesday nights Josh and Uncle Jake have their church softball game in Live Oak, so we head out there and watch them play! Addison seems to like being there and will either nap in her stroller or Grandma Fran will hold her and walk around looking at all the trees! We definitally have an outdoor girlie! She's always so calm when we are outside looking at all the sights to see!

The next day it all starts over again...and I love every second of it! She is such a sweet little baby and we really cant believe how fast she's growing up!
