6 Weeks!!


It hardly seems possible that our sweet girl is 6 weeks old already!! In so many ways the last 6 weeks have been an absolute blur. We've had our ups and downs but we are so in love with our little Addie. A few things:

- She is doing a ton better at night. I finally figured out that our really hard nights were days when I'd had caffeine. I completely cut it out and she is doing great now! She gets up once a night around 4:00 a.m. and goes right back to sleep. This is a VERY welcome change. I'm starting to feel human again.
- Her skin has cleared up almost entirely. The doc told me to switch her skincare over to Cetaphil and after using it for a few days, her skin looks great.
- She has gained over 2 lbs. since our last appt. She is up to almost 11 lbs. and is totally getting rolly on her arms and legs
- Has really started to smile the last couple days and it is the CUTEST thing ever. She really responds to our talking to her.
- Still has almost all her hair. I expected it to fall out like Makenna's did but so far, so good.
- LOVES when it is quiet (which isn't that often around here). It seems like she has a hard time with lots of stimulus.
- Still hates the bink and the swing. Still sad about it :(
- Gets smothered in kisses all day long by everyone. We just love her so much!!

6 WEEKS?? SERIOUSLY? Wow, that went fast. She is tooo sweet. I'm glad things are regulating for you and for her. She'll be sleeping through the night before you know it. And, look at it this way, if she's not on the binky, you'll never have to wean her from one!

She is so pretty! And yay for more sleep. Always a good thing! I'm glad you were able to find the cause for her sleeplessness.

She is precious, and I don't doubt you are loving her to pieces. Time is flying! 6 weeks already? Love the outfit too. :)

MarieC said...

Could she possibly be any cuter?!?!?!?!! How beautiful she is! She's got those gorgeous brown Frost eyes, too, like her siblings.

Q…

She is absolutely adorable! Red is definitely her color. I don’t think she looks a LOT like Makenna, what do you think? She has her own look…different from both Carter and Makenna. She is darling though and I want to eat her!

Addison is so cute in red! I love her outfit/bow. I can't believe how quick that first 6 weeks went.

Margo said...

This picture is priceless. Where do you get your bows? I love the red.
