8 WEEKS

How is it possible that Addison is already 8 weeks?!?!

It's unbelievable how much she has changed in such a short period of time.

She smiles (deliberately) non-stop with the most adorable grin...I love her chubby little cheeks when she smiles. She's is as snuggly as ever & intentionally wraps her arms around you as if she doesn't want to let you go. She has the sweetest little voice & her coos/ahhs constantly, it completely melts my heart! Undoubtedly with Philip & I as her parents she'll be a talker. I called it from the womb...this girl LOVES music! No matter what she's doing as soon as it comes on she darts her head towards the direction the music is coming, smiles & purses her lips while listening so intently. Some of her favorites off her playlist include "Sweet Disposition" by The Temper Trap, "Yellow" by Coldplay, "My Heart is Overwhelmed" Hillsong Live from God is Able, "Bradenburg Concert No. 2" & "Sonata 8" from Baby Einstein: The Definitive 100 soundtrack. Seriously, you should see her eyes light up when she hears music. She is completely mesmerize by her hands, who needs toys?! She has mastered tummy time & holds her head up fully erect & looks around in such a nosy fashion. Oh & nosy she is. She gazes with endless fascination at herself in the mirror & makes a high pitched coo like she is excited to see herself. Perhaps the most exciting is that she is becoming so much more predictable with sleep/eating habits. 

8 weeks is also somewhat sad for me because it's a few weeks closer to the dreaded 12 week mark when I return to work.  We have some decisions to make regarding that but for now I am going to continue to embrace every moment with her & relish in our one-on-one time.
