I'm one month (Aug 8th)

Addie is one month old and we are loving every minute of it. She is super strong and getting bigger everyday. She can hold her head up and sits up very well. I have been considering getting her a bumbo chair already. (If anyone is getting rid of one, let me know.) Addie has been a joy to have in our family and fits right in. Here are a few things about Addie:

She does NOT like her carseat or riding in the car. (if you will notice in these pictures she is not buckled into her seat because I had to take her out as soon as we got to the park.) She will usually just screams until she is sweaty and exhausted then maybe falls asleep. I used to pull over every 5 minutes or so to try and feed her or burb her, but to no avail, she will still scream. We have all gotten used to her crying in the car =( I hope she will grow out of that.

Other then time in the car, she is a happy baby. She loves to cuddle and sleep on her tummy. I have told her that my baby books say she is not allowed to sleep on her tummy yet, but she has apparently not read that part. Needless to say she gets to nap on her tummy when mommy is with her, but at night she has to sleep on her back. Sorry Addie, wait until you get a little older then you can sleep how you want.

We also had the chance to bless Addie this month. Her blessing was on August 7 at our church in Farmington. We did the blessing a little earlier then usual because it worked out best for visiting family. Plus, if we waited any longer Addie probably would not have fit into the dress. (I heart my big baby.) Addie's Great-Grandma Bliss, Grandma and Grandpa Olson, Uncle Erik and much of her Beaird family (too many to name) side got to come for the blessing. Mike did a beautiful job with the blessing. It was also very special because Uncle Erik was able to participant in the blessing.


As you can tell by this delayed posting, getting things like this done with two kids is a little more difficult. In fact, Sophie is on a playdate and Addie is sleeping and that is why this is getting done. I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. My girls are super special to me.
