Addison: Week One!

Now that Addison is two weeks old I figure I better get the photos of her first week up on the blog! Too many cuddles for blogging I guess :)

Addison's first week brought many visitors and slight adjustments to our schedule. Overall she has been an excellent sleeper and is eating like a champ so no complaints there. We are actually sleeping pretty well too considering we have a newborn baby at home (just getting up once to feed her in the middle of the night). Hoping we don't pay for this in the months to come (or when she is a teenager!)

And now for the photo dump!

Meeting Debbie Jean!
Thanks again for hosting such a great shower at your house :)

Kenai wake up call on our first morning at home!

 Day two at home... ready to meet lots of new people...

Meeting Whitney (AKA my future babysitter!)

Meeting Cindy and Olivia Breen :)
Thanks for bringing me my first REI items (now I am a NW baby!)

Cousin kisses and cuddles from Uncle Bill (either LOVING it... or pooping ;))

Meeting some of my cousins - Paige (9), Elliot (3) and Patrice (2 months).
Owen was likely running around with Bob!

Meeting Auntie Rhiana! (The hand in the photos has been a pretty common occurrence -
perhaps Addison was done with the photo shoot?)

And on her one week birthday, Addison got to meet her Aunt Lauren and Mama K all the way from Montana!

Meeting Auntie Lauren!

Love all the friends that have taken photos each week to document baby's first year so we are starting that with Addison too! Here are a few pictures (selected from about 100!) from her one week photo shoot :)

 

Addison week one stats (from her first doctor's appointment on Oct. 1, just shy of being one week old)...

• Height: 19 3/4 inches long
• Weight: 8 pounds, 1 ounce (up from when we left the hospital!)
• Head circumfrence: 36.3 cm

Heading to see Dr. Lindsay for my first check up :)

Photo shoot in front of the doctor's office...

And as a side note... how is the pup handling the transition to a family of four? We weren't totally sure how Kenai would react to having Addison around. We talked about his baby sister a fair amount (yes, we know he is a dog) and he gave her kisses on my belly (mostly when I had lotion on it!), but we had no idea what he would think of having a baby around. I can happily report that he has been GREAT! He worries about her, lays next to her swing, howls and/or barks when she cries and always wants to give her kisses. Overall, he reacted exactly the way we hoped he would! Good boy, Kenai :)

 

And one final parting shot for week one... Thanks to Aunt Chasie and her iPhone, photos like this are possible :)
