Playing in the Rain

We had an awful down pour! So, guess who decided to go play in the rain... Somehow, Brooklyn ended up running in the street in her underwear! - Needless to say, Mommy was not too thrilled with that!

They chased either other up and down the street, danced, and splashed!

Oh, what sweet memories!

1 month

At Addison's one month visit...

She was 22 in long and 10.37 pounds

(80th percentile for both measurements)

She sleeps for no longer than 3 hours at a time and wants to constantly eat and be held! Yes, she is spoiled! But from experience, time passes by so quickly that I can't help but hold her any time I get a chance! - However, sleep for me would be nice!

1st bath at Home

We gave Addison her first bath at home in the kitchen sink. This first bath was much easier than the first bath with Brooklyn. We were both less nervous about her soapy little body slipping out of our hands! - That has to be a first parent's worst fear.

Nothing like holding a clean baby that smells like baby lotion and sweetness!! - That has be a mother's greatest joy!

Going Home

After 4 long days and 3 sleepless nights in the hospital, we were finally able to go home on July 4th! What a day to celebrate your freedom!

I made the girls a matching dress outfit. Addison's was a little big! :) Addison came home weighing just under 7 pounds. She had lost 11% of her birth weight and was being treated for jaundice.

Brooklyn is going to be an EXCELLENT BIG SISTER!!!

Getting Ready

In preparation for our new arrival, Brooklyn spent the night with Gigi and Pops. Richard and I woke up extra early 3:30 am and were out the door by 4 am. We had 45 minutes to make it to the hospital. What a joy arriving at 4:45 to get ready to have a baby!
