Life at home has been pretty busy. Hannah with her book report/diorama project. Matt working all day. Baby pooping, sleeping, fussing, crying, pooping, sleeping……yada yada yada. Myself, I’m busy with baby, and life. I have been trying to reseed the front, and backyard in between baby cat naps. If I keep going this route I’ll officially be a multitasking queen. Besides for reseeding, I have been spring cleaning like crazy. All that crap hiding in the places where I will most likely put more crap I have been donating ( my crap could be someone else’s treasure! ) I cook, clean, and sometimes I find time to sit on my ass and write a post.

Addison, Hannah and I are heading out West. I haven’t been to the island in 4 years, it’s long over due. I am excited! but…..at the same time terrified to fly with Addison. Her attitude is so sketchy at times. Out of no where she could freak. Walking around, and getting some fresh air is not an option. I just hope I can keep her entertained for 5-6 hours haha! Wish me luck.

The weather here is fan…freakin…tastic! So beautiful. The sun has been shinning for days. The heat is therapeutic! I find myself with way more energy. It’s a vitamin D high! I like it. Addison is enjoying her walks with her little bonnet on. Hannah has been taking advantage of this weather too! Bike riding most days, and she’s pulling out all the cute outfits. I love how “matching” she is. My little fashion queen. Everything is colour coordinated, to some degree. The flats match the coat, or the hat. Maybe she will carry a matching bag. It’s pretty cute! I’ve even busted Matt with the curtains open in his office now. Something he doesn’t do often. Could it be he wants to enjoy the sun too! I do detect a bit of colour on all of us. Ahhhh Summer days. I know it’s Spring but, this really feels like Summer.

Addison has been smiling, and cooing more. We can tell she’s almost ready to laugh. That will be an adorable moment. Addie had her shots recently, I won’t even get into that too much but, she weighed in at 11lbs 4oz. Hannah finds picking her up harder and harder yet, we always see her whiling to pick the baby up. It’s crazy seeing Hannah as a big sister. She is so wonderful with her, and so excited to have Addie around. I just love my gals.
That’s all folks……..now time to make dinner!

It’s hard to believe that Addison is nine weeks old now. The scary thing is I can actually see how fast time is flying by when looking at her. She is no longer that fragile little girl we brought home. She is a strong, sturdy little girl with more and more chub filling her cheeks everyday! I just love her so much.

As much as I wish she would stay a little baby forever, I am also wishing that this hard newborn phase will hurry up and pass us by. I think we are doing a great job considering Addison isn’t an angel by any means. Sometimes though I tell ya, I could run for the hills.

With all the crying aside she’s doing so well though. Addison is smiling at us everyday now. What a wonderful feeling that is, to know we can make her smile. Everyday she is “talking” to us a little more. She is such a strong girl, way beyond her months. She loves to stand on her own two feet with support of our two fingers. I can’t believe how much she tries to do at such a young age.

I heard someone say that it was a head trip to think that being the mom automatically makes us more responsible. Yeah, whatever! It is so true, even my husband thinks so. Woman have this instinctual thing about them, that babies know! From the moment that a mother holds her baby, babies know mom’s can do it just a bit better, and a bit faster, with a bit more ease. ( Thanks Krista ) I’m not saying this is the case for every woman out there. I’m sure there are a few super dads out there too. In fact I believe Matt is a super dad! If anything he gives me the emotional support to do what I need to do day to day, and to me that is so important.

I was thinking about doing the same thing I did when I was pregnant, and write Addison’s weekly milestones on the blog. I printed out my weekly posts when I was pregnant, and put it in a folder for Addison to one day read. So I thought it would be cool for her to read about herself growing up one day in the future. I wanna include pictures and stuff too!

So well see if I actually do that. I have been trying to publish this post now for a whole week. Time is just flying by, and there never seems to be enough time in the day  to do things I wanna do. Off to get my fussy baby!

Wow this past year has been insane! I’ve been telling people I was 29 for awhile now. Don’t ask me why, I have my reasons! This past year has been both physically and mentally tiring. Look what I have to show for it though. A brand new baby girl, a family that is obviously growing closer together everyday. Seriously though, I do feel so much good around us right now. Lucky in love I am…….Matt and my girls. I can only imagine how great this next year will be.

“Happy St Patty’s Day”
