It's official...we are reclaiming our bedroom!

Okay, so we've finally taken the plunge and put Addison in her room at night(for good this time-I promise).  She could care less where she sleeps, but Mommy and Daddy have been holding back on putting her up in her big girl bed because we're paranoid freaks.  She's spent one night up there about a month ago and it went really well so we shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?  Please!  We layed her down, kissed her goodnight, and I turned on her cd player only to have Nick go behind me and turn it WAY down to where you couldn't even make out the music. He said he did this so he could hear her on the monitor.  I explained that we'd still be able to hear her breathing and farting loud and clear on the monitor and ended up convincing him to turn it back up.  
Nick and I sat here in our room for a while listening to her on the monitor chatting and making some squeaking noise up in her crib.  Now it sounds like she's asleep and I can hear her breathing which is reassuring, but it's driving me crazy not to be able to just look over and see her breathing.  I think it's time to get one of those video monitors so we can ease our minds a little!  
Ha!!!  I guess Nick isn't losing any sleep over not having her down here because as I'm typing this I looked over at him and he's PASSED OUT.  Go figure!

Addison at 3 Months Old



Addison is growing like a weed! Nick and I took her to get her pictures taken the day she turned 3 months old. She was quite the poser as you can see. The top picture where she's on her back is one of her natural poses...she was put on her belly for a picture, but decided to roll over onto her back and put her hand behind her head. She's weighing in at a whopping 12 lbs. 10 oz. as of today. She still loves her bath time and is a little chatter box. We just can't get enough of her and are amazed at how much she changes from day to day! She goes back to the doctor the end of April for her next round of immunizations so I'll give an update afterwards.

Home with Addison


Well, we've been home with Addison for a week now and everything has gone great. She sleeps for most of the day and has been allowing us to sleep for 4 hour intervals through the night. She's such a patient little lady...she must get that from her daddy because we all know mommy isn't all too patient. She definitely has her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger already and they have done a lot of bonding over the past 13 days as I've been trying to recover. Nick has mastered diaper duty and making baby burritos. He's been a tremendous help with everything and has made it as easy on me as possible. Addy and I both will miss him when he goes back to work next week. Addy had her first pediatrician's appointment on Monday and was only 2 ounces away from her birth weight (I'm sure we've passed it up by now). The doctor said she's in the 95th percentile for height!
