I can't believe how quickly a week passes. As you can imagine, our lives are mostly consumed by Ms. Addison. We have spent a lot of time just being together and it has been great. Here are pictures of some of the fun things we have done.
We had a picnic dinner in our backyard. Our neighbor brought us a picnic dinner and so we got out the blanket and enjoyed a cool evening in our yard. Dad fed Addison her dinner (well the first ounce of it).
Addison spends time with dad in his office while he works. Unfortunately, Oliver has had to work all week because he just started a new job and they have been working to close the month all week. It hasn't been ideal but we are blessed that he is employed and loving what he does. So we are making the most of it.
Addison likes to be read to - so far dad has been favoring the Rollie Pollie Ollie books, but sometimes they are a little long for her taste so we might try something a little shorter.
And, of course, there is a whole lot of sleeping happening in our house. Addison is actually a great sleeper - she eats about every 3 hours during the day, but then she has been gifting us with one longer sleep at night. Two nights in a row she slept 6 hours and the other nights has been 4 to 5 hours in one stretch. Mom is loving it and dad wouldn't hear her even if she was up every 2 hours...but he loves that it makes mom so happy.
Lastly, we have been trying out a lot of different outfits and bows all week. This outfit came from Pike Place Market (Seattle). Uncle Taylor and Aunt Emily brought it for Addison last time they were home. Unfortunately, she only got to wear it for part of the morning because she managed to spit up really well while wearing it.

Loving all the posts and updates. Glad you are enjoying her and she's sleeping. ADORABLE! A kick can be a very good motivator for Dad to hear the baby...

She is such a doll! What a beautiful little girl! I'm glad that Oliver has been able to spend time at home although he is working... I'm sure it's nice just to have an extra pair of hands around :) Love all of the cute outfits too! Aren't baby girls the best? Take care,
