5 Months Old!

Miss Addison is such a little sweetie pie. She is our miracle baby. We are thankful for the time that Allie and Addison had together in my belly. Oh how we wish and dream about raising them together. It's comforting to know what Allie would have looked like but hard at the same time because she's not here with us. The weeks seem to keep flying by and oddly my life is rather calm. I'm thankful that I can take these winter months to grieve and not care about going anywhere.

I love spending time with my girls. Sadly I know they grow up too quickly. Addie has such a fun little personality. We are grateful everyday for her.

All you have to do is talk to her and she smiles and giggles back to you. She is so photogenic that I could take pictures of her all day long!

She still loves bath time. She just sits there and smiles. I usually make it pretty quick though because for some reason she likes to poop in the tub. Which isn't too fun for me.

We still are doing tummy time with her. She can roll over from her stomach to her back. She kicks her feet and she can kind of move her body but she hasn't mastered rolling from her back to her stomach just yet.

Addie doesn't use a pacifier. But she sticks her fingers in her mouth when she's hungry. She's still doing really well nursing, so we are going to wait a little bit before she gets rice cereal.

She is really good about sleep. She takes a nap in the morning and in the afternoon. She usually is in bed by 7pm and wakes up twice in the night to eat. We lay her down like we did with Cambree, when they are still awake. So they learn they have to fall asleep on their own.

Awake one minute,

Asleep the next!

Oh my goodness! She is so adorable. I LOVE all of those pictures and her sweet smile and her long eyelashes. Isn't it such a sweet tender blessing that she would have such a sweet, peaceful personality. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and hope that life is allowing you to heal. What a precious little thing she is.
