The Handley Family: 23 Week Update

23 Week Picture

Over the weekend, Addison's Great Grandma Raube (Darlene) came to visit us at the lake. We all had an awesome time. At one point, Addison was having one of her "kicking sprees" while she was sitting next to Grandma and I was able to get some pictures (see below), it was waaay cute!

Milestones:

Miss Kicks-a-lot: This week Addison seemed to be on a kicking spree!! Every day she would go through these spurts where she would get a TON of energy and kick like crazy! It's so funny because she focuses on her feet while she's doing it and nothing else in the room matters. She has done this before, but for whatever reason this week it seemed constant.

Pooping: Last week we posted that Addie had not produced a bowl movement in nearly a week. The very next day, she FINALLY let out a diaper full. It was bittersweet for mommy :) I was glad she finally pooped, but unfortunately the diaper didn't hold the load.

Solids: Addison really doesn't seem too interested in solids still, but it seems like this week we made at least a little bit of progress. For whatever reason, she still does not want the rice cereal but she doesn't act like she minds pears as much. I'm going to keep working on giving her the rice cereal daily and hopefully by the end of next week she will do better.

Bath time: Addie has outgrown her "baby tub", literally! Shane and I decided to start giving Addison baths in our tub. The only problem is that ours is an oversize jacuzzi tub and very deep so bathtime is a little awkward. We've been working every night to develop a routine that will make it easier on daddy, mommy AND baby.
