Many updates

I feel like so much has happen in a week. On Wednesday the 16th her umbilical cord finally fell off (I think Michael helped it). So on Thursday night we gave her her first "real" bath - one where she could actually get in the water. She loved it! Check out her bath video here (make sure to listen closely).

Addison also had her first bottle this past week. She took to it immediately with no problems. I was so proud of her. She continues to get bigger and stronger everyday, lifting her head more and almost rolling over. I swear that I even saw her smile the other day. It won't be long. This past weekend we headed to my mom's to visit and meet some of the family. She was so good, even sleeping in 4 hours shifts on Saturday night. Addison got to meet her great grandmother. I guess you never lose your motherly instinct. Grandma has Alzheimer's and yet she still knew how to hold her and connect with her. It was a special moment for me. Four generations together. Addison went to the doc yesterday for her one month checkup and first shot. She now weighs 10 lbs, 8.5 oz and is 22 and 3/4 inches long. She has a mild case of baby acne on her face that the doc didn't seem concerned about. The nurse asked me if I was going to be okay when she got her shot and I was sure I would be...until she started crying. It broke my heart and the tears started to fall. She just looked to me to save her. And that was only one shot. Next month she has to get 4 of them. Michael is definitely going with me for that one. One more picture...our first family shot. This was taken after church. Kara is going to take some pics of Addison on the 9th of June. I can't wait.
