Things are actually going pretty well. It is obviously a big transition for all of us, but it is going ok. We are all just finally getting settled in and getting everything figured out.
Addison is (knock on wood) a pretty darn good baby! She is sleeping well and eating good also. At night she gives us about a 2 1/2 to 3 hour stretch between feedings which is helping us survive! She seems to have the nighttime figured out and doesn't try to stay awake too much, except a couple times at the 4am feeding she has stayed awake until almost 5:30 the last 2 mornings. Overall though, she is doing very well!
Grayson is doing good too. This is definitely an adjustment for him, but he still seems to just love her so much and gets so excited when he see's her and gets to hold her. The only challenging part for him is wanting something when I am unable to get it, which is mostly when she is feeding. That seems to be when he wants his juice (now!) or a snack (now!) or just wants to hold mommy....now!! We are both really so proud of him and how he is handling this adjustment!
We have had great help from our family which has been a blessing, and it looks like we will still have some help in the coming weeks. We are so grateful for all the help!!
Daddy and Addison cuddling on the couch.
Aunt Summer with Addison, she was here this past week.
Here she is sleeping the other day, I thought this position was just too funny!
On Monday morning, it was just me, Grayson and Addison at home and I was in the bathroom so I set her in the bouncy seat where I could see her and I turned Elmo on for Grayson thinking that would occupy him. Well, instead he came in to play with her. It was so darn cute! He set down right beside her and had his arm around her and turned it all on for her and was pointing to everything. It was the cutest thing, he chose that over Elmo... which is pretty darn nice of him considering how much he likes Elmo!!
Ok, this was too cute. Duncan was mowing the lawn Sunday and Grayson wanted to help so bad so Duncan put on some "safety glasses" and let him help out. It was adorable!!
Aunt Summer spoiled her lil man and gave him a fudge bar the other day when it was warm out. He didn't know to eat it fast enough and it melted all over him, which he wasn't a big fan of (as you can tell from his scowl). But he sure did enjoy getting ice cream in the middle of the day for a change!
