Well, all the family is gone. I'm sad. Daniel's mom has been here since last Wednesday and she left today. It was great having her here; she was a huge help with Addalie. She would stay up with her at night if I needed some sleep and then help out around the house during the day. This afternoon was my first time to really be alone for any amount of time with Addalie. We did pretty good, but I'll miss having people around to help! 

Here are a few pictures of this week and Addalie doing what she does best- sleeping!







She loves to sleep, but only while being held! She is a very cuddly baby!

















































She loves her daddy! I think this is a precious picture. They are so cute together. Daniel is doing a great job with her!

Healthy Girl!

Well Addalie went to her first check up yesterday and the doctor said she was healthy and everything looked good.  She weighed 7 lbs 3 ounces (she was 7 lbs 2 ounces at birth) and was 20 1/2 inches long, her head size was 14 inches.  We are very grateful for a happy healthy little girl.  Here are some pictures of Addalie over the last couple of days.  



I think after a week and a half of getting her picture taken Addalie is getting used to the flash and maybe even starting to like it! 


Just smiling at momma. 


This was Addalie's first time in the bath tub, and as you can tell it was not her favorite place to be in that moment.  It almost killed her momma to put her through such torture. She did smell good afterwards though!  


She is spending a lot more time awake these days, she likes to sit on the couch and look outside.  



She is really a good baby and we are having so much fun with her!

A lot of Girls!

We have had so much fun with Mom, Kyla, Jada, Ava, & Emry this week. Addalie got to meet her cousins and I think they enjoyed her. Ava called Emry "the big baby" and Addalie "the little one." Addalie is so lucky to have two cousins within 6 months of age. (Emry and Kyla's baby due in August.)



Addalie and cousin Emry posing for the camera.  They probably got their picture taken about 3,000 times this weekend.  


Addalie and Aunt Kyla


Emry loved taking this picture, Addalie- not so much. We never got one of all the girls together before Kyla left.


We think she is pretty cute!


Emry and Addalie had matching outfits on so we had to get a picture. It was tricky though! Emry was more interested in eating her shoe!

Still Cute!

Sorry we missed a day,  Addalie has been busy enjoying her Aunts Jada and Kyla and her cousins Ava and Emry.  Addalie slept through most of the night last night, the best night we have had so far with her.  She hasn't been doing too much yet but we have loved every minute with her.  Here are some pictures of Addalie over the last day.  


It was hot in the house today, so Addalie just needed to let loose a little bit.  

Addalie and Nana's clothes matched today.  They planned it that way.  


Addalie likes to play with her hands while she is sleeping

Ava likes to hold Addalie!


Letting momma love on her a little bit.

Here's More

Well so far we have been pretty good about keeping the blog updated, but we can't guarantee that this will be the trend in the weeks to come.  It has been wonderful having my parents here to help out with everything. I have so enjoyed this time with Addalie and would be happy to have her as my only responsibility for good! Here are a few more pictures from yesterday and today.

Mother and daughter matching pajamas.  Thanks Gam!


Crashed out on daddy.  Daniel is so cute with her. He loves having her sleep on his chest. This is another outfit from Gam. I want to just dress her up in all her cute little outfits, but it's not something she enjoys near as much as I do.


Addalie saying bye to her Papa.  



Decked out in all pink.

3 Days and Counting







Some Morning Video

Here is some video we got of Addalie this morning while Nana was holding her.  We are amazed that she is able to hold her head up and move it around so freely.
