New things every day!

This past week Addie has found her thumb! She doesn’t really know how to suck it yet but she loves to chew on it. Sometimes her little fingers get caught in her nose, it’s so funny! She is getting really coordinated with her hands. She is reaching for the toys on her little floor gym, actually, tonight she was kicking her legs up at the toys as well as grabbing at them with her hands. I can’t believe how fast she is learning. She has also been really fun with the baby coos, well if gurgles, bubbles, and drool count as cooing. For now it’s her way of talking and we love to play along!
So Sunday was my first Mother’s Day. We spent most of the time down in Ogden with our Mother’s but came home early in the evening on Sunday. As I was feeding her I thought she might be willing to let me holder as she fell asleep. She was so tired but as soon as the burping was done she began searching the room for Dad. Once she locked on to him you could read her mind…”Dad why aren’t you holding me now?!?!” It was the most adorable face ever! She had her pouty bottom lip out, her eyes looked so tired, and her head perched on her neck roll. She just stared at him for 15 minutes or so until I finally gave in. As soon as, he had her settled in his arms she was out. I wanted to be sad for myself, but it was just too cute to see her saddest tired face gazing over at Dad. Luckily, last night she let me do the rocking to sleep and I loved it!

Newborn Addie

So, I've been pretty lame about posting pictures so here are a few from her first days at home! She was so small (she has now doubled her birth weight and is 3 inches longer)

This one is around 5 weeks old. Still a little to small for the Bumbo!
