Well alot has happened in the past few weeks..
Addie is feeling tons better.. thank goodness it was just a virus and just lasted a few days. It was going around though because a few of my friends kids had it and good to know that everyone is ok now!
Addie went for her 4 month shots and weighed in at 15 pounds 8 ounces and was 24 inches long. she is in the 90th percentile for weight and head circumference and 50th for height. no solid foods yet for Addie. Our doctor says that she is healthy and doesn't need them yet. There isn't a rush and we aren't in any rush to give her any.
She has graduated into stage 2-3 diapers now.
She loves to blow raspberries with her tongue.
She loves to put everything in her mouth.
She knows mama.... and when she wants her mama she lets it be known!
She grabs for toys... or mama's glasses.
she gives you open mouth kisses.
She does a pirate look now where she moves the right side of her face and scrunches her nose. (both of my parents said that this comes from my Grandma Totten as she would smile like this) so I wonder if this is something she inherited.
She loves it when daddy gives her kisses on the belly. he makes her laugh. It's the cutest thing ever!
Addie loves to grab at Riley and Russeau. Bob doesn't get close enough, but she follows his tail.
She can sit up now. I tested it out this week (September 4th) while putting away her clothes in her room and just let her sit in her crib playing with her Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal and she did so good. She would look at me and just smile like "mom... I'm a big girl now" and then she would play with Winnie and want to eat Winnie. She did fall a few times backwards, but it was after a good few minutes on her own. She is building that strength up. By the end of the week she was a pro at sitting up!
Addie still hasn't rolled over yet but she is getting close. She gets to her side and almost all the way over and then flips back. I bet in the next few weeks we are gonna have a mover on our hands.
So I have to back up a few weeks where I celebrated Andrea's birthday with her on August 28th.. Jeremy was in charge of Addie. He took the day off. (we have been very lucky with our work schedules that Addie has only been to daycare 6 times so far through September 12th)) well Jeremy was home all day while I worked and then I came home for 2 hours and then went out to dinner with Andrea and her family. This was my first real night away from her by myself. I called and checked in.... I just had too. Well when I called at 9:30 (which is past her bedtime) she was fussing for Jeremy so I decided to leave the party and get home to my little one. I don't know who was missing who more me or her. Well I called Jeremy on my way home and he got her to sleep, but I just missed the fact that I wasn't able to put my little one to bed. When I got home I have to admit that I got a little teary eyed because I really missed kissing her good night and going through our routine together. She must have too because she woke up 30 minutes after I was home so I was able to put her to sleep.
So I am starting to make our daytime have a routine now. She is eating less frequent now but still doing her cat naps. I am really trying to work on a set naptime schedule with her, but it doesn't always work out. I find it that if she takes good naps then she sleeps really good for me at night, but if she doesn't then she might get up at 3-4 am and then up at 6ish. so I am trying to stop that 3-4 am feed. If I feel she needs it then I will nurse, but I just think she has to figure out the self soothe now. We are working on it though.... its a change for me too.
September 12th- we celebrated Grammie's bday today. Addie was so good. We started off my going to church to celebrate Grandma Swartz's mass and then we went home and got dinner ready to celebrate. We also played some Euchre. It;s funny because at mass, Addison was all about the prayer book and then at home she loved the cards and she likes to touch them and figure it out what we are doing too.
We have been moving Addie's bedtime up to about 8:15-8:30 now as she is sleeping longer in between feedings. It's funny because on the days I have to work is the days that we have to wake her up. It's like she knows that she is suppose ot get up and she doesn't. Little stinker!
So I guess we are a little different from others that have kids, but I am sure that this will change once she starts eating foods is that we take our baths in the morning. I figured when we go to solid foods is when we will probably do the bath time at night.
Oh speaking of bath time... this past week when I was taking my bath I put Addie on the floor and just let her play.. its her naked time. Well this week she moved a good 18 inches backwards. It took about 10 minutes for her to do it, but she did it all on her own. I was so impressed. She was laying on her back and scooting backwards!!!
Addie watched her first ND game... well she slept at kickoff when we played Nevada as daddy and Uncle Adam went to the game. The Irish won so it was a good day in our house!
