Sorry about the delay in posting an update about our newest and cutest family member. It's crazy to see how fast every day slips by as we focus on meeting her needs and try to keep our house in order. With that being said, life with Addison is amazing. Every day we watch as she seems to make developmental milestones, I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing that Deb knows so much about her reflexes and all of the other tricky little developmental things she's doing now or should be doing soon. Addison is somewhat of a guinea pig in our household. She has an unbelieveable grip with her hands and is spending more time awake during the day with her big blue eyes watching everything around her. We know her vision isn't refined at this point but it's fun to think that she's really looking you in the eyes (we know we're just shadows to her at this point) when you sing her a little song.
We head to the pediatrician on Wednesday for her 3 week check-up. We're very excited to see how much weight she has gained. She's really gotten the hang of nursing, almost too well if you ask Mic, and seems to be filling out these days. Her newborn clothes seem to be getting a bit more snug though she seems to be swimming in the 0-3 month clothes. She's clearly going to be a tweener, just like her Mama Mic, always just between one size and another.
A few firsts over the past week:

A few firsts over the past week:
- Addie's first trip to the dog park. She got to hang out on the outside of the fence in the baby bjorn carrier with Mama Mic while Momma Deb took Lucy in for a little frisbee fun.
- Addie's first nose sucker experience. We were very nervous about using the little nose sucker gadget on her but had to on Saturday because she was collecting some little boogies. Momma Deb did the sucking and Mama Mic was encouraging and supportive of her. You'll soon see who has the wimpy stomach in this family.
- Addie's first trip to the grocery store where we learned that her car seat doesn't sit in the top of the cart like other ones do. She therefore got to ride in her very own cart while Momma Deb pushed another cart with the groceries in it.
- Addie's first trip to a football game. She attended the Loras homecoming football game on Saturday where she demonstrated her lack of interest in football by sleeping through the entire game. That's my girl (says Mic)!!!
A few pictures to enjoy:

Hoping everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall weather. It's amazing to think that we are already heading into week 3 with Addison. More to come!
Cheers,
Mic, Deb and Addison
