Addison is One Month

 

Addison turned 1 month old on November 2nd!  Her first month went by so quickly and we have loved adding her to our family.  Jeramy and I were talking about how it seems like she has been here much longer than a month.  Addison is just so precious and such a great baby.  Life with two has been just wonderful.  Here is some info about her first month of life:

• She is a snuggly, sleepy baby.  For the first few weeks I had to wake her up during the day to feed her.  She did get better about having more awake time and started waking up on her own.  I love just holding her when I have the time, and she loves it too.   But she has also gotten good at sleeping in her crib at night and she likes to sleep in the swing, bouncer, and car seat too. 
• During the day she is up about every 3 hours to eat.  She has also turned into a good nighttime sleeper.  The first few weeks were a little rough and she wanted to be held all night and didn't really like sleeping for very long stretches.  But, she got better in week 3 about sleeping in her crib and for longer stretches, and in week 4 she has started sleeping for about a 5 hour stretch at night! 
• She eats great, about every 3 hours and is already growing like a weed. :)  Has not been introduced to a bottle yet, but we plan to do that next month
• On our scale at home she is up to 10 pounds, 4 ounces.  Big girl!!
• In newborn and size 3 month clothes, and size 1 diapers.
• We have gotten so many different comments on who Addison looks like.  Some people say she looks exactly like me and a lot like Sophia.  I've gotten many comments that she resembles Jeramy and I've also gotten comments that she looks like my mom!  I guess time will tell but most likely she is a mixture of all of us. :) 
• The first thing everyone says when they see her is "wow, look at that hair!".  And it is true, she has a ton of dark, pretty, crazy, long hair.  Sophia was born with a lot of dark hair also, but Addison has more!  And it is funny how it sticks up all over the place.
• Addison loves being held, looking at lights and fans, being swaddled, and feeling cozy.
