Addison is having so much fun staying home with Michael. Even more, Michael is having such a good time staying home with her. I love to see them together when I come home. He's such a good dad. I didn't appreciate the TN outfit he put her in yesterday when he brought her to work to visit. That's why I have to dress her in the mornings before I leave...like in the above picture. Can't wait to get her in some Gator gear!

Pictures! (...and shots)
Addison went for her 2 month appt today and had her second round of shots - 4 of them! I was for sure she would squeal like she did the first time, but she proved me to be a liar. She did cry, but it wasn't even comparable to last time. And she stopped as soon as Michael picked her up. I couldn't watch. I stood in the corner like a wimp. It hurts me to see her so helpless like that. Now for the stats...she weighed in at 12 lbs, 7 ounces (75th percentile) and is 24 inches long (92nd percentile). She's all legs and is going to be tall like her daddy. Obviously the feeding is going great! Dr. Cooper gave her a clean bill of health. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Addison's new favorite thing...Her thumb! This was the first time she's fallen asleep while sucking it. Everyone tells me not to let her do it b/c it's a habit that's hard to break and I agree 100%. We've tried...trust me. Inserting the pacifier when we see the hand heading that way, putting mittens on her at night (I know, we're mean), but none of it works. She's sneaky. Somehow she gets the mittens off at night. And if you take it out when it's already in she gets so mad. She sucks it in the bathtub during her nightly bath b/c she knows we're busy and can't keep it out. So we're done fighting her. Luckily she only does it when she's tired and it normally comes out pretty soon after she's fallen asleep. She doesn't do it much during the day so hopefully it will be something that she won't need as time passes.Addison has been getting a little fussy in the evenings between 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm for a week or two now. I can tell that she's already starting to get over it which is good. She tends to get sleepy pretty early and has pretty much set a bedtime for herself of 8:00 pm. She'll normally sleep for about 5 hours and then want to eat. From there it's every 3 hours so we need that to get a little longer. This is the only thing that seems to calm her down in the evenings...laying in daddy's arms.

2 months old
Our internet connection wasn't working so I'm a day late. Addison turned two months old yesterday. She spent a lot of time with daddy for Father's Day. Michael is a great dad and Addison sure does love him. It's amazing how much she's changed in two months. She's so much more active and her personality is starting to show. On Thursday the 14th she rolled over for the first time, but I don't think she meant to. She hasn't done it since, but she's very close. In the evenings she gets a little fussy for some reason and normally likes to be held or outside around this time. We try to go for a walk and it normally calms her down. She's definitely a little stubborn sometimes when she fights sleep. Speaking of sleep...her she is with daddy yesterday. She loves her new Bjorn carrier. Some more pics...Tummy time with her head held high! Check out this video of Addison playing. She loves swatting! Look closely and you'll catch a smile...
