My, how time flies!



Wow! The past six weeks have been an experience, to say the least! We're still having a good time adjusting to being parents. We've had lots of visitors, which we've really enjoyed. "Aunt" Kim came to visit for a few days last week, so Addie and I had a blast with her! It was really nice to have grown-up conversation for a couple of days, too. :-) We must admit that the adrenalin has worn off and we're sufficiently exhausted, but somehow we make it through with a smile :-) Speaking of which...

Addie has moved past the little sleep grins and is now giving full-blown smiles. What an amazing thing to see! She smiles when she hears or sees her mommy or daddy, which really makes everything worthwhile. She's also holding her head up for longer and longer periods of time and is getting less frustrated during "tummy time" :-) She's starting to lose her baby hair, which is really funny to see! She looks like a little bald man - we tell her she is just trying to look like her PawPaw.

Mommy and Daddy are going on a date this Friday night to celebrate our anniversary (May 18 - better late than never!). Addie is going to stay with her Mimi and PawPaw for a few hours - we are all so excited for this! It'll be fun to celebrate with a night out without the kiddo - even though we know we'll miss her ;-)

Here we go!


This is our first entry! Let's see how long we can keep this up - probably until I go back to work (July 31). Addie is about four and one-half weeks old and is starting to show her sweet personality! We're beginning to have more fun every day as the little grins we're starting to see are breaking up the monotony of diaper changes and feedings :)

Addie sleeps well (which we're very grateful for!) and she's starting to get into a little routine! We can't wait to see what each new day brings!
