A week of Milestones

This week has been so exciting. Addison has started to enjoy lots of new things. Her bouncer has a bar that goes across that just two weeks ago she hated. As soon as I would put it on, she would being to cry. I think the bird scared her. This week we tried it again and she loved it. She has even learned to grap the butterflies attached. The first time Addison grabbed it, she started crying when she could not figure out how to let go.



Addison also tried her walker this week. She did prety good but we have to wait a little longer on it. Addison is strong and handles her head well, but after a few minutes she started looking like the Leaning Tower.


Addison has always been a fist (or nuckle) sucker. This week she found her thumb. It is so cute to watch. Her thumb is so little, but somehow she gets a good latch on it.


We are working on getting Addison into her room and out of the co-sleeper in our room. Addison takes naps in her crib now. Luckily I can place her in the crib when she is drowsy and she will go to sleep without much help. Her new favorite sleeping position is arms spread out. I used the bumper pad to "cut the crib in half." It is now more of the size of the co-sleeper and she seem to like being a little more closed in.


The most exciting thing we did this week was go visit Papa and Grandma at their lake house. There is also a pool. We did not venture into the lake water but Bobby took Addison for her first swim in the pool. I think I used a half bottle of water babies on her. She also had to have a hat and sunglasses. Addison did not cry at all while she was in the water, but was not too happy when I took her out of the pool. I think she enjoyed her first swim.
