Addison was born on May 7th which makes her 6 months old this week! Time really does fly when you're having fun.
Over the weekend, we spent some time in Arkansas with Shane's family. The first night, we made the mistake of not putting Addie to bed at her normal time....BIG mistake!! We experienced a mood we had never seen before! Not only were we not able to get her to sleep right away, but she was hysterical. I've seen her fight sleep before but nothing like this. Even her crying was louder than we had ever heard before. It's safe to say that we will avoid keeping her up past her bedtime in the future.
All About Addie and Milestones:
- What a happy baby!!! When we first wake her up, or she wakes up on her own, we immediately get a smile out of her. Even when she's at her angriest, we are almost always able to get her to smile. Nearly every person that has come into contact with Addison has mentioned to us as well that she is the happiest baby they have ever been around! Addie is always smiling or laughing!
- If you stand her up, she will straighten herself up, hold her arms out a bit from her body and "bobble" her head from side to side looking around. It's just so cute how she keeps her head and arms positioned and it always makes us laugh!
- She loves to look around at her surroundings, but loves even more to look outside. Addie could be in a horrible mood (which is rare) and if you take her outside, she's immediately happy!
- Her legs seem to be moving constantly. She loves to kick and those legs can keep her entertained for hours!
- She has always kept a mind of her own when it comes to food. She has been on breast milk since day one and has always decided when and how much she ate. Even when a feeding schedule was attempted, there was no cooperation on Addison's part so we aborted the mission! The great thing about not forcing the schedule is that she remains a very happy baby :)
- Her sleepy quirks are the cutest! One that she has done since birth is if you put her on your chest, she will lift her head and then plop back down several times until she finally passes out. Another cute one is that she will roll her head left to right over and over while fighting sleep. Perhaps the cutest quirk would have to be the noises she makes when she's tired and trying to avoid crashing. Between the humming and the grunting, its just adorable watching her fall asleep!
