Great Aunt Joan with Addie---Addie passed out on her!
the past few weeks since her Baptism, I have started to go back to work so I am behind on the blog so I am combining alot into this blog entry....
Addison has been doing great with her sleeping. For the most part she goes to bed between 9-10 at night and will sleep till about 4-6 in the morning. Sometimes she wakes up for about a 5 minute feeding at 2 in the morning, but most nights she does sleep through. Our pattern for the past few weeks is that Jeremy will get her at about 6:30-7 in the morning when she is ready to get up and she usually has a nice surprise for him at that time! He changes her and then brings her to me. It is really nice and then I just usually nurse her in my bed, then we take a bath and are ready for the day.
So the week of June 29th-- my mom watched Addie alot this week while I worked. I have a 15th deadline and needed to get some work stuff done while on maternity leave. I don't go back to work until after July 15th...at least that is when my 12 weeks is up, but I have extended that to August 4th will be my official first day working and back in the office and when Addie goes to daycare. She will be going 2 days a week Tuesdays and Fridays and then I will work 1 day at home and 2 in the office.
July 3rd was a Friday and Jeremy had it off. We went shopping, had lunch with my parents... we had planned on going to Redamac's but they were super busy for the holiday weekend so we went to another New Buffalo restaurant. Then after eating, we went shopping at lighthouse mall. My parents stayed in the car with Addie while Jeremy and I went shopping at Carter's. Daddy gave Addie a bath today... he is getting used to it and it helps me out a bunch too to get other stuff done around the house or just relax a bit. Addie slept from 9:30-6:15.
July 4th= We started the day off at Aunt Joan and Uncle Joe's for a cookout like we do every year! Then we headed over to his parents house. We got home around 7:30ish and I was getting nervous on how Addie was going to do with the fireworks. Needless to say she was a trooper… she slept right through them as I was cursing everyone around. Normally I like fireworks, but not outside my 2 months daughter’s window. Addie slept from 9:45-6:00. She is such a good little sleeper.
Today was the first day we really noticed Addie had tears….
July 5th – We did lots of house cleaning today. Addie got to enjoy mama and daddy’s bed while we put laundry away. We propped her up on a pillow and she just had a good old time watching us move around.
July 6th was the annual Girls pool day at Jeremy’s mom house. Jeremy had the day off so he spent it with Addie while I enjoyed some pool time and then I went home so he could go golfing with my dad.
July 7th and 8th- My mom watched Addie a lot of these days as I went to work and worked from home. I got a full detail report of how Addie did, burps and how many included.
July 9th- Grandma (Jeremy’s mom) watched Addie for me today as I went into work to finish up a few things for the 15th deadline. They had a good time playing and Addie got some good rest in too! Grandma had to face her fear with a spider while watching Addie.
Addison went to her first fair today, the St. Joe County fair with Aunt Lisa, Grandma, daddy and me. Jeremy carried her in the jeep carrier and she did so well. She was sleeping at first, but then woke up. She got some fresh air and slept pretty well for us. She went to bed around 10 and got up about 5:15ish.
July 10th- today Addie and I did lunch with Andrea and Kari and then we did some shopping at the mall afterwards. Addie was a little fussy at the restaurant but it was because I woke her up in order to get my purse from Jeremy’s car since I left it in there the night before. We also visited daddy at work too!
July 11th- Jeremy golfed in a charity event with my dad and my old neighbors. They came in 4th place. My mom and I did lunch at Carrabba’s and also did some shopping… The booths at Carrabba’s don’t hold the car seat so we had to get the stand up hammock thing for her car seat to go in. Addison is becoming such an expert shopper!
July 12- We went over to Jeremy’s parents’ house so Jeremy could help his dad put up the fence for Bob since he will be living there once it is up. Addie will still have 3 doggies though…. Just 2 will live with her. She had fun in the willow trees and supervising grandpa and daddy! So Addie has been doing this trick when we get her up in the morning that she likes to have her legs up in the air and her body is in the shape of an “L”. Well we put her jammies on her for the past few nights and put her in her activity center on the floor and she bats at the objects with her feet. Well she started to turn to her side so we took her out and put her on her tummy time mat and she was going on her side and then her back, then her side and then her back. She did a complete circle in about 30 minutes. It was so darn cute! Another little trick of hers. It’s like she is getting close to rolling from her back to her tummy, but she stops. We can’t wait for her to figure it out.
July 13- I worked today in the office and my mom watched Addie. She just loves spending all the time with her. This is the first summer she hasn’t worked in like 15 years!
July 14th- So before my mom came over, Addie rolled from her back to her tummy this morning… twice. I think it was just a fluke though. Then as I had her in her car seat waiting for my mom to show up, she had her first blow out. It was a biggie too. Today mom, Addison and I went shopping, again! Addie got lots of toys and a few outfits from Grammie! We went to Barnaby’s We went and saw Dzie Dzie and he sang roll out the barrel and remembered that she “waved” to him and also spelled out Addie! It was a big day for Dzie Dzie and Addie!
July 15th- mom, Addison and I went shopping again! We are the pros of shopping these days. Addie got a few more outfits and I picked up some outfits for friends that are having babies. Addie is so used to the car seat and going for a ride. I am thinking she says “here we go again mom”
July 16th- mom, Addie and I went shopping, again! We went to China Garden for lunch. I remember going to China Garden when I was a little girl and getting Shirley temples. I told Addie that when she is old enough that she can get them too there! Then we went to Dzie Dzie’s for another visit. I had mini- girl’s night with Gina, Elizabeth and Andrea and then Andrea and I went back to the house. Aunt Julie stopped over for a visit and then Andrea and I went to dinner while daddy stayed home with Addison. They had some father-daughter time.
July 17th- Today I went up to my parent’s house and mom, I and Addison went to Redamac’s! It was so yummy!! Addie was asleep at first but then woke up and she was just smiling away. She loved the fans and lights in there. Later we came home and had to go to a viewing and at the funeral home Addison just giggled away at Aunt Kathy. It was cute, but not the appropriate place to be giggling, but she gets the free pass because of her age!
July 18th- This morning my dad came over with Uncle Kenny and visited for awhile and then we went to see Dzie Dzie. Mrs. Danik at the funeral home loves to see Addie (she is a patient there) and she gave Addie an angel figurine and it is just adorable. When we got home, daddy took Addie outside and let her feet touch the grass. She didn’t mind it at all and even Bob and Riley enjoyed having her outside too! Later on when went to Jeremy’s parents house to celebrate Adam’s 31st birthday and also have a poker party. Addison was with me at the table for a little bit learning how to play -- starting it out young! Mommy tied for first with Uncle Adam... we split as it was getting late and Gramps (my dad) came in third out of 12 people. Mommy added the money to her bank account!
July 19th- We went over to Jeremy’s parent’s house again so Jeremy could help with the fence. Elizabeth, Harrison, Jeremy’s mom, Addison and me all stayed inside and hung out with the babies. Harrison and Addison were so darn cute together. I will have to get pics from them playing on the floor just kicking it. Addie was showing off her new skill of touching her feet! Then Addie enjoyed another shopping trip with Aunt Elizabeth, Harrison and Grandma! Grandma got her an outfit and mama got a few outfits too… I just can’t resist looking at the clothes for her!
