Crazy to think that our little Angel is 3 months now and in another week she will be 4 Months old!! Such a Big girl!! She has officially fallen into a schedule (2 short naps in the morning and 1 long afternoon nap and then 1 short one again in the evening before bedtime) and has now for almost 2 months been sleeping through the night!
It was right around 3 and a half months that she finally out grew her NB clothing and NB diapers and Mom here had to let go and realize that her baby was growing and needed to move up to 0-3 month clothing. Let me just say that yesterday, Oct 14, (16 wks) I finally put away the last of the NB clothing. She has officially moved 100% to 0-3, 3's still being Massive on her.
We have experienced so much joy and are treasuring each and every moment that we have had with our little girl. These last 2 months Addison has discovered the bumbo chair allowing her to sit up and be real close to Mom while I get dinner ready and is now really good at holding her head up (getting lots of compliments at how strong she is from all the church ladies) She has also discovered the playmat (given to her by her Great A. Linda & U. Rick Warken) which she greatly enjoys and spends at least a half an hour or so every morning on.
She has filled our home with such laughter as she has discovered her voice and seems to chatter non stop about all that she has done that day (or so I like to think). This past Saturday (Oct 9), Stephen and I went to the PA football game and she stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa Nelson and upon our return she was soo excited she let out squeals of delight (first time). I cannot begin to tell you how much my heart melted to hear those squeals. She is soo alert now and can follow us so clearly when we enter a room/leave a room ect. She loves bright lights/fans ect and we have even watched the last 20mins of Seaseme street (Elmo World) the other night and she loved it. She loves to try to stand, (standing, with help, more than sitting) making me wonder if she will try to skip the crawling stage. She has attached herself to this little bear-blanket that we got from Ray and Harriett Adams (I call him Bear-Bear) and she loves him, snuggling up to him and at times I find her practically talking to him in her baby chatter - cutest thing ever and now we don't go anywhere without Bear-Bear!! Its crazy how much she has grown in just a few short months.
All in all we are just so truly blessed. Going back to work has gotten easier and we could not be thankful enough for Jen our day care girl who helped make the transition a lot easier. Jen has been fantastic with Addison! keeping her right on my schedule. Addison has taken to Jen just perfectly ( I can say there have been a few times of fear that Addison will like Jen more than me) but when I walk in the daycare door and go and wake up my Angel from her nap and see her instant smile as she sees me, all those fears melt away and I am reminded of Gods goodness in our lives and am Thankful for him giving Jen to us.
Addison will have her 4 month checkup here in another week and I am very interested to see what her weight will be, (not to interested in the shots that will follow that visit). I will keep you all posted on her weight and how the visit goes.
