The hair is growing!

It has been a while since I last posted, so I've got quite a few pictures. Addie continues to grow...we weighed her last night and she was at 7 lb. 12.5 oz., so it won't be long before she's 8 lbs.! Her hair is also growing, as you will see below. She is a very happy baby for the most part, but changing constantly. She now has a "real" cry, which she is not afraid to use if she wants something or gets ignored at all. The lungs have definitely developed over the past month or so. She is also smiling more, especially right after she gets her belly full of milk. Her hands are still up all the time and she loves to kick her feet in the air.

Daddy is reading Addie a book, but she hasn't quite figured out that she is supposed to look at the book while he reads.
We recently put our hammock up and Addie loves to sleep in it with Daddy.
Addie has been having some gas issued and enjoys laying on her belly while she works on getting it out. Sometimes she falls asleep in that position...don't tell the doctor!
Here is the party in the back. Addie has enough hair to be putting barets and bows in it, but it is so thin that everything falls out!
Here she is in the sling again, which she still loves. Her hands had been folded together, but she stopped that as soon as we got the camera out.
Bathtime has become much more enjoyable for Addie recently. We found that she doesn't mind it so much when someone else is in the tub with her, so we have been doing that. She really likes to have as much of her body in the water as possible.
Here is Addie's hair when it's wet-it looks like she is mostly bald! That really shows just how thin it is.
Sprawled out on Daddy, taking a nap. Addie gets a little spoiled on the weekend when Daddy is around. He likes to hold her a lot and she definitely doesn't mind at all.
We tried putting Addie in her crib for a little bit this weekend to try to get her used to it. She has been sleeping in a bassinet in our room, but the time may be coming soon when she will get moved into her own room and her own crib. She looks like she's got shifty eyes here...who knows what she is up to!
Addie has really been trying to hold her head up quite a bit recently. She is able to hold it up for a little while, then drops it forward as if exhausted.

  2. I can't get over how she has grown. It is so good to see Bob hands on. My boys were like that, but not a whole lot of fathers are. Her hair is so long in the back, it won't be long til it thickens up for those barrettes and hairbows. I enjoy the photos and postings alot. Love, Aunt Brenda
