Life at Nine Weeks
Published March 31st, 2008 in Baby, Random Blog PostsIt’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!






Time sure does fly!! I can’t believe it’s been 9 weeks! As far as the posting on weekly progress goes, I highly recommend you read Dooce.com, if you don’t already. She writes almost every day, but once a month she posts a letter to her daughter that tells her all about the things that she has done that month, and how she feels watching her daughter grow up. She’s a fab writer, I love her blog.
Now If I could just get through this next 6 weeks on my own with my two kids…..Your nine weeks has gone fast, here’s hoping mine does too.
