Over the weekend, Shane's family came to visit us at the lake. It was really nice for Addie to get a chance to visit with, and interact with everyone. We didn't take nearly as many pictures as we wanted to, but will be visiting again with everyone towards the end of September and will take more then. Addison seemed to love watching all of these "new" faces around her. I'm sure she didn't mind the attention either! :)
Milestones
Holding Bottle: Addie started holding her bottle this week. We have to position her hands on either side of the bottle but once we do, she is able to feed herself.
Solid Food: We decided to try a little bit of rice cereal mixed with breast milk in Addison's bottle around the middle of the week. She drank the bottle without any issues and almost finished the whole thing! I also tried to give her a little bit on a spoon, but she had no interest whatsoever. We've decided that we are going to keep giving her the cereal in the bottle once a day over the next week or so to slowly get her used to solids.
Diaper Surprise: Since we have introduced rice cereal, daddy and I have also experience the beginning of stinky diapers. Because breast milk tends to digest easily, diapers are generally pretty mild... at least they have been for us. Now that "solids" are in her diet, it's a whole new world of diapering!
New Sounds: Every day Addison talks more than the day before. Shane and I could sit and listen to her for hours, it's so cute! I think she likes hearing herself too because she goes on and on even when no one is "talking" back to her. Within the last week or so, she has reached a new decibel too. It's very high pitched somewhere between a scream and a giggle... ADORABLE!
